This book questions the extent to which the Internet of Things (IoT) and business process management (BPM) paradigms can be combined. The authors discuss emerging challenges and intersections from a research and practitioner's perspective in terms of complex software systems development and process mining methods. The authors demonstrate that while the IoT and BPM have been regarded as separate topics in research and in practice, they strongly believe that, on the one hand, the management ...

It is difficult to precisely define Information Systems Engineering. Roughly speaking, it is an interdisciplinary field focusing on designing, developing, implementing, and managing complex IT systems that meet specific organizational needs, bridging the gap between technology and business by applying engineering principles to create efficient, reliable solutions for data processing, decision-making, and operations, integrating software, hardware, data, processes and people. It emphasizes ...

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the scientific satellite events held in conjunction with the 21st International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2023. The conference was held in Rome, Italy, during November 28 – December 1, 2023.This year, these satellite events were organized around four main tracks, including a workshop track, a demonstration track, a Ph.D. symposium, and an invited tutorial track.The ICSOC 2023 workshop track consisted o...

Massive amounts of data on human beings can now be analyzed. Pragmatic purposes abound, including selling goods and services, winning political campaigns, and identifying possible terrorists. Yet 'big data' can also be harnessed to serve the public good: scientists can use big data to do research that improves the lives of human beings, improves government services, and reduces taxpayer costs. In order to achieve this goal, researchers must have access to this data - raising important priv...

Enterprises, from small to large, evolve continuously. As a result, their structures are transformed and extended continuously. Without some means of control, such changes are bound to lead to an overly complex, uncoordinated and heterogeneous environment that is hard to manage and hard to adapt to future changes. Enterprise architecture principles provide a means to direct transformations of enterprises. As a consequence, architecture principles should be seen as the cornerstones of any a...

The issue of data quality is as old as data itself. However, the proliferation of diverse, large-scale and often publically available data on the Web has increased the risk of poor data quality and misleading data interpretations. On the other hand, data is now exposed at a much more strategic level e.g. through business intelligence systems, increasing manifold the stakes involved for individuals, corporations as well as government agencies. There, the lack of knowledge about data accurac...

This book examines a wide range of issues that characterize the current IT based innovation trends in organizations. It contains a collection of research papers focusing on themes of growing interest in the field of Information Systems, Organization Studies, Management, Accounting and Engineering.

EUGAGER is a project proposal submitted to the EU in response to the ICT Call 4 under the7th Framework Programme in April 2009. It proposed the research, design and prototypeimplementation of a web-based, secure and free/open source software platform fore-Governance and e-Participation tools. In particular, the core system would support theconnection of external e-Government and e-Participation web applications, possibly runningon different machines, and ...
