Complex Event Processing (CEP) is an emerging technology to process streaming data and to generate response actions in real time. CEP systems treat all sensor data as primitive events and attempt to detect semantically high level events and related actions by matching them using event patterns. These event patterns are the rules which combine primitive events according to temporal, logical, or spatial...
With the advent of Industry 4.0, industrial manufacturing systems constantly evolve into smart, interconnected production systems. Pervasive integration of information and communication technology into productional components results in massive amounts of various data. To meet the challenges that arise from an increasingly competitive market and more demanding customer requirements, technological...
With this paper, we introduce the concept of Ecological Workflow Patterns (EWPs) in the domain of Green Business Process Management (Green BPM). The optimization of processes with respect to ecological goals often faces difficulties in adapting to the revised process. Also the consequences of changes to the process are often not predictable which makes necessary the application of simulation measures...
Changes in demographic developments come along with an ageing workforce and a higher retirement age. Particularly in the industrial working environment, poor workplace ergonomics can limit the workers' quality of health and thus their ability to work until they reach their statutory retirement age. This paper presents the conceptual design of an assistance system that captures information from workers'...
Recent advancements in sensor technology offer opportunities to manage business processes in a proactive manner. To enable an effective and real-time monitoring, sensor data have to be treated and processed in an event processing manner. Complex Event Processing is an efficient technology that detects useful complex events by matching primitive sensor events using event patterns. Event patterns can...
With this paper we introduce a simulation approach to Green Business Process Management (Green BPM). While objectives for business processes are traditionally economic (e.g. Costs or cycle time), our approach focuses on the energy consumption and the carbon footprint of complex business processes. We present an approach for applying Business Process Simulation (BPS) techniques to the subject, using...
The use of social media in the private and professional context is continuously increasing. Particularly in the private context most users are competent in dealing with these technologies. However, when it comes to apply social media in the professional context (e.g. Communicating or searching for relevant information or integrating social media in classes or the preparation of homework), most users...
Even though personal working processes run into business processes and access the same databases, human working processes and business processes in most cases are moving into opposite directions. Hence, individual knowledge and process-related knowledge are two aspects that are still very separated from each other. This leads to the result that most of the organizational knowledge base is not used...
Enterprises in today's globalized world are compelled to react on threats and opportunities in a highly flexible manner. Hence, companies that are able to analyze the current state of their business processes, forecast their most optimal progresses and with this proactively control them will have a decisive competitive advantage. Technological progress in sensor technology has boosted real-time situation...
Nowadays, companies are more than ever forced to dynamically adapt their business process executions to currently existing business situations in order to keep up with increasing market demands in global competition. Companies that are able to analyze the current state of their processes, forecast its most optimal progress and proactively control them based on reliable predictions will be a decisive...
During the last years, the development of maturity models for business process management (BPM) has increased significantly. However, tools which support comprehensively BPM maturity models and, therefore, reduce the effort and the costs of a maturity level analysis do not exist at the moment. We want to close this gap by developing an Intelligent Maturity Model-Tool which uses already available data...
Many commercial mobile applications or "apps" have surfaced in the past few years, such as Polar, Suunto, etc., to assist hobby runners in their personal fitness training. Although they partially consider vital parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, etc., they do not consider the specific health constraints and requirements of rehabilitation patients. Nevertheless, the hobby scenario...
The consideration of ecological objectives has been identified as one of the major topics for IS research and Business Process Management (BPM). An essential precondition for advancing the emerging discipline of Green BPM still is the availability of methods and tools for detecting and matching the resource usage of a business process to its individual steps. In this paper, a conceptual integration...
Argumentation is an essential task in every scientific discipline. The development of strong and convincing argumentation as well as the analysis of existing argumentation structures is important in the field of humanities, and especially in the field of jurisprudence. Judicial argumentation requires sophisticated intellectual effort and the knowledge of as much potentially relevant background information...
Information Systems (IS) research strives for the design of innovative as well as the investigation of existing methods and techniques for information management in organizations. IS methods and techniques can support the automation of operational tasks as well as management tasks in organizations. Furthermore, they offer considerable potential for the automation of research processes in IS research...
Every scientific discipline aims at accumulating and developing scientific knowledge in order to develop its theoretical foundations. Scientific knowledge is typically shared and communicated by means of articles published in journals, conference proceedings or books printed on paper or in electronic form. As researchers are typically not interested in articles but their specific content such as concepts,...
In this paper an approach will be presented which uses data from Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) to determine the communication context of individuals in corporations. It is intended to contribute to a closer alignment of the disciplines Business Process Management (BPM) and communication technology. Therefore, we provide a conceptual integration model for BPM and communication technology...
This paper contributes to theory building for successful Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations with special focus on the role of Business Process Reengineering (BPR). To achieve this objective, the method of stylized facts is transferred to Information Systems Research. The theoretical background of the method will be provided and its application on the subject will be demonstrated. Furthermore,...
Location-based services have faced a development from being a hype to be used by a large user community at any place and time. However, only a few approaches exist, that take into account social interactions and learn from them in order to refine recommendations of points of interests accordingly. This paper analyzes the influence factors of mobile users for the choice of interests and derives an...
This paper introduces a preliminary approach and evaluation for a social recommendation mechanism for location-based services (LBS). Many approaches for recommending location-based services do not take into account other factors than spatial ones. This paper focuses on social interactions and a focused ranking method to support social recommendations. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation at...
