This book contains the proceedings of two long-running events held along with the CAiSE conference relating to the areas of enterprise, business-process and information systems modeling: * the 21st International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development and Support, BPMDS 2020, and * the 25th International Conference on Exploring Modeling Methods for Systems Analysis and Development, EMMSAD 2020. The conferences were planned to take place in Grenoble, France, during June 8–9, 2020. They were held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For BPMDS 13 full papers and 1 short paper were carefully reviewed and selected for publication from a total of 30 submissions; for EMMSAD 11 full papers and 4 short papers were accepted from 29 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections named as follows: BPMDS: Business process execution and monitoring, BPM applications in industry and practice, planning and scheduling in business processes, process mining, process models and visualizations EMMSAD: Requirements and method engineering, enterprise and business modeling, software-related modeling, domain-specific modeling, evaluation-related research.
I love the idea of a Smart Internet that lets users improve many parts of their lives, pulling together data and services from around the internet. This won’t happen with large unwieldy programming requirements. . . it will happen because we’re moving towards integrated, simple tasks that users can do on an every day basis. With services available on the cloud, with analytics available, with data that has meaning to the user and not just to some protocol parser - with all of these, users at all levels will be able to do a better job. The users may be small and large enterprises, local governments, individuals, etc. All of this means that as the world is becoming more intelligent, instrumented and more interconnected, we’ll be headed towards smarter health care, smarter cities, and smarter lives. ” — Gennaro A. Cuomo, IBM Software Group Vice President and IBM Fellow, WebSphere Chief Technology O?cer Congratulations to the team on the publication of this ?rst volume of the IBM CASResearchbookseries!Thisisasigni?cantmilestoneforIBMCASResearch. This series not only captures the innovations resulting from the collaboration acrossIBM technical leaders,IBM CAS faculty members, as well as our network of distinguished academic partners, it also lays the foundation for ongoing c- mercialization of future research initiatives.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th International Conference of the BCS Specialist Group on Information Systems Methodologies. The conference brought together papers on methodology issues related to the development and management of emerging technology based information systems. As usual there was a good range of papers addressing the 'soft' and 'hard' aspects of IS development and management. Methodologies for Developing and Managing Emerging Technology-based Information Systems will be of interest to practitioners who are engaged in systems development and modifying or aligning existing methodologies to practice.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on End-User Development, IS-EUD 2023, held in Cagliari, Italy, during June 6–8, 2023. The 17 full papers and 2 (keynote extended abstracts) included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Artificial Intelligence for End-Users; Internet of Things for End-Users; Privacy; Security and Society; Supporting End-User Development.
Innovation is the key to maintain competitive advantage. Innovation in products, processes, and business models help companies to provide economic value to their customers. Identifying the innovative ideas, implementing those ideas, and absorbing them in the market requires investing many resources that could incur large costs. Technology encourages companies to foster innovation to remain competitive in the marketplace. Emerging Technologies for Innovation Management in the Software Industry serves as a resource for technology absorption in companies supporting innovation. It highlights the role of technology to assist software companies—especially small start-ups—to innovate their products, processes, and business models. This book provides the necessary guidelines of which tools to use and under what situations. Covering topics such as risk management, prioritization approaches, and digitally-enabled innovation processes, this premier reference source is an ideal resource for entrepreneurs, software developers, software managers, business leaders, engineers, students and faculty of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
