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...
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...
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...
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...
The lack of flexibility during process execution has been commonly identified as a major drawback of classical process-aware information systems. Hence, in the last decade, extensive research has been done and multiple approaches concerning process flexibility have emerged. Since an increasing degree of freedom implies a decreasing inbuilt guidance regarding the way business processes are handled,...
Within the information systems field the application of modeling languages for conceptual modeling has gained tremendous importance. In this context, different works discuss aspects of label quality and its influence on process model quality. In order to deliver valuable results for the quality improvement of process models in practice, the applied measurement methods have to cover the multi-dimensional...
Current literature in the area of Business Process Management (BPM) holds a very "mechanistic" view, focusing on top-down specified business processes and the resources needed for their execution. However, such a perspective neglects the contribution of individual employees, whose skills, experiences and knowledge influence the value added through a business process significantly. In today's...
Business Process Management (BPM) has gained remarkable importance in research and practice in the last years. Innovative information and communication technology (ICT) is a driver for the effectiveness and efficiency of enterprise collaboration and the management of inter-organizational business processes. In this context, cooperating enterprises need a shared understanding of their own processes,...
