Think? Compute! See!! End User Programming for Thinkers 觉得呢?计算!见! !面向思考者的终端用户编程
Dave A. Thomas
Summary form only given. In this talk we discuss our experience making state of the art software technologies including vector functional programming, collaborative analytics and visualization consumable by demanding customers we call Thinkers. The emerging discipline of Computational Science brings Thinkers and Software Experts together to create environments for Thinkers. Thinkers are well educated domain and problem focused computationally literate end users. On a day by day basis thinkers live in Big Data to collaboratively solve their business and technical challenges. Thinkers reject being passive misunderstood requirements changing Agile customers. They have no use for end user tools for dummies. They question the cost and complexity of accepted software engineering and IT approaches. Lacking better alternatives they often resort to hodge-podge collections of scripts and arcane tools. Thinkers need a capability to Think-Compute-See and to actively participate in problem solutions.
只提供摘要形式。在这次演讲中,我们将讨论我们的经验,使最先进的软件技术,包括矢量函数编程,协作分析和可视化,可用于要求苛刻的客户,我们称之为思想家。计算科学的新兴学科将思考者和软件专家聚集在一起,为思考者创造环境。思考者是受过良好教育的领域和专注于问题的计算型最终用户。每天,思想家们都生活在大数据中,共同解决他们的业务和技术挑战。思考者拒绝被动地被误解需求而改变敏捷客户。他们对终端用户的工具毫无用处。他们质疑公认的软件工程和IT方法的成本和复杂性。由于缺乏更好的选择,他们经常求助于脚本和晦涩工具的大杂烩。思考者需要具备思考、计算、观察的能力,并积极参与解决问题。

Social Set Analysis of Corporate Social Media Crises on Facebook Facebook上企业社交媒体危机的社会集分析
R. Mukkamala, Janni Sorensen, Abid Hussain, Ravikiran Vatrapu
Social media crises pose significant challenges for organizations in terms of their rapid propagation and deterioration of brand parameters and can have sustained negative business impacts. This paper reports a multiple case study of four different corporate social media crises. The multiple case study was informed by crisis communication and management theories and employed multiple methods consisting of the novel approach to big social data analytics-social set analysis, nenography, and manual sentiment analysis and topic discovery. Empirical findings show the voluminous but also transient nature of social media crises, reveal the different strategies employed by the organizations to manage the crises and their outcomes, and a diversity of aggregate user behavioural patterns. Based on the findings, we recommend that companies should choose a response strategy that is suitable for the type of crisis they are experiencing as well as the industry sector they belong to. In summary, this paper is the first demonstration of the suitability and effectiveness of Social Set Analysis for conceptualizing, formalizing and analyzing big social data from content-driven social media platforms like Facebook for event studies such as unexpected crises and/or coordinated marketing campaigns.
社交媒体危机给组织带来了巨大的挑战,因为它们的快速传播和品牌参数的恶化,并可能产生持续的负面商业影响。本文报告了四个不同的企业社交媒体危机的多个案例研究。多案例研究以危机沟通和管理理论为依据,采用了多种方法,包括大社会数据分析的新方法——社会集分析、新生学、人工情感分析和话题发现。实证研究结果显示,社交媒体危机既广泛又短暂,揭示了组织管理危机及其结果所采用的不同策略,以及用户行为模式的多样性。根据研究结果,我们建议企业应选择适合其所经历的危机类型以及所属行业的应对策略。总而言之,本文首次证明了社交集分析在概念化、形式化和分析来自Facebook等内容驱动的社交媒体平台的大社交数据方面的适用性和有效性,这些数据可用于意外危机和/或协调营销活动等事件研究。

Synthesis of Artifact Lifecycles from Activity-centric Process Models 从以活动为中心的过程模型中合成工件生命周期
Jyothi Kunchala, Jian Yu, Quan Z. Sheng, Yanbo Han, Sira Yongchareon
In recent years, artifact-centric business process modeling is gaining momentum with its improved flexibility and extensibility. In order to support the rapid translation of the traditional activity-centric processes into this new type of processes, this paper proposes a novel approach to automatically transforming an activity-centric process model into a group of lifecycles of artifacts and their interactions, which represent the behavior of its corresponding artifact-centric process model. Algorithms on translating an activity-centric process model into a tree model, finding the dependencies between two object/artifact states based on the tree model, and synthesizing the lifecycles of artifacts have been proposed. Throughout the paper, we illustrate our approach with an order processing running scenario.
近年来,以工件为中心的业务流程建模由于其改进的灵活性和可扩展性而获得了发展势头。为了支持将传统的以活动为中心的过程快速转换为这种新型的过程,本文提出了一种新的方法,将以活动为中心的过程模型自动转换为一组代表其相应的以工件为中心的过程模型的行为的工件及其相互作用的生命周期。提出了将以活动为中心的过程模型转换为树形模型、基于树形模型查找两个对象/工件状态之间的依赖关系以及综合工件生命周期的算法。在本文中,我们通过一个订单处理运行场景来说明我们的方法。

An Exploration of Capability Research 能力研究的探索
M. Wißotzki
Due to the global digitalization, fast shifting business models and short technology lifecycles, modern enterprises need a strategy how to deal with those unpredictable changes in order to stay competitive. The concept of capability driven management like capability-based-planning or investment gets more and more attention by executives and scientists. In the last decade IS and management journals as well as conferences were publishing an increasing number of capability related articles, but a common understanding corresponding the identification of capabilities, their management, types or elements seems to be not existing. This work encapsulates the body of capability literature to provide an overview about capability research investigations over the last 15 years.
由于全球数字化、快速变化的商业模式和较短的技术生命周期,现代企业需要一种策略来应对这些不可预测的变化,以保持竞争力。能力驱动管理的概念,如基于能力的计划或投资,越来越受到高管和科学家的关注。在过去的十年中,信息系统和管理期刊以及会议发表了越来越多的与能力相关的文章,但是一个与能力的识别、它们的管理、类型或要素相对应的共同理解似乎并不存在。这项工作概括了能力文献的主体,提供了过去15年来能力研究调查的概述。

"Controlling" Web 2.0 Applications in the Workplace 在工作场所“控制”Web 2.0应用程序
Z. Maamar, V. Burégio, Noura Faci, D. Benslimane, Quan Z. Sheng
Over the years, different development waves have shaped the Web. Introduced as a tool to browse Web sites, the Web now is a dynamic and robust platform upon which enterprises conduct e-Business. One of these waves known as Web 2.0 (or social Web) is putting pressure on how enterprises should ensure a productive use of Web 2.0 applications such as Facebook and Twitter. Misuse cases of these applications are on the rise and the lack of guidelines and awareness is a main reason. This paper presents an approach for "controlling" the social actions that Web 2.0 applications allow users to execute. These actions are identified after analyzing some representative Web 2.0 applications and then defined in terms of stakeholders, content, and tools. The control over these actions is defined with UML Object Constraint Language (OCL) and then demonstrated through a prototype system.
多年来,不同的开发浪潮塑造了Web。作为浏览网站的工具,Web现在是企业进行电子商务的一个动态和强大的平台。其中一股被称为Web 2.0(或社交Web)的浪潮正在给企业如何确保有效地使用Web 2.0应用程序(如Facebook和Twitter)带来压力。滥用这些应用程序的案例正在上升,缺乏指导方针和意识是一个主要原因。本文提出了一种“控制”Web 2.0应用程序允许用户执行的社交操作的方法。在分析了一些具有代表性的Web 2.0应用程序之后,确定了这些操作,然后根据涉众、内容和工具定义了这些操作。对这些操作的控制是用UML对象约束语言(OCL)定义的,然后通过原型系统进行演示。

Multidimensional Cluster Sampling View on Large Databases for Approximate Query Processing 面向近似查询处理的大型数据库多维聚类抽样视图
Tomohiro Inoue, A. Krishna, R. Gopalan
Approximate query processing with relatively small random samples is an effective way to deal with many queries on large databases. However, small random samples might miss relevant records for highly selective queries due to insufficient coverage. A multidimensional index tree called the k-MDI was proposed as an effective sampling scheme for highly selective decision support queries. It has been shown to support a fast response time and high accuracy, whereas implementation of the k-MDI on database tables was not discussed. This paper proposes the Multidimensional Cluster Sampling View based on the k-MDI. The view can be implemented with ease using common database tables and can be manipulated by SQL statements. Furthermore, it is able to provide trustable approximate answers quickly for any query condition. The response time and accuracy of approximation are validated on a large dataset based on TPC-DS specifications.
使用相对较小的随机样本进行近似查询处理是处理大型数据库中大量查询的有效方法。然而,由于覆盖率不足,小的随机样本可能会错过高选择性查询的相关记录。提出了一种称为k-MDI的多维索引树作为高选择性决策支持查询的有效抽样方案。它已被证明支持快速响应时间和高准确性,而k-MDI在数据库表上的实现没有被讨论。本文提出了基于k-MDI的多维聚类采样视图。该视图可以使用公共数据库表轻松实现,并且可以通过SQL语句进行操作。此外,对于任何查询条件,该算法都能快速提供可靠的近似答案。在基于TPC-DS规范的大型数据集上验证了近似的响应时间和精度。

Monitoring Strategic Business Goals with Argus 使用Argus监控战略业务目标
A. Maté, J. Trujillo, Elvis Koci, Konstantinos Zoumpatianos, J. Mylopoulos
Business analytics has emerged in the past decade as a top concern for business executives world-wide, surpassing earlier top concerns such as supply chain management and total quality management. Business analysis techniques analyze operational data for a variety of purposes including prediction, planning, monitoring, and trouble-shooting. In this paper we focus on one type of analysis, monitoring operational data to determine whether a business is on track relative to its strategic goals. If deviations exists, our approach narrows the search to the most problematic instances detected. Furthermore, we show how the process can be fully automated including the generation of all necessary queries. Finally, we show how the monitoring process has been implemented in our tool, Argus, which enables the analysis of arbitrary periods of time. Our prototype has been evaluated using a small data warehouse of synthetic data.

Towards Capturing Strategic Planning in EA 在EA中获取战略计划
Carlos L. B. Azevedo, J. P. Almeida, M. V. Sinderen, L. F. Pires
Strategic planning aims at improving both the financial and behavioral performance of an enterprise. It concerns the enterprise and its desired future, helping set priorities, concentrate capabilities and resources on key operations, ensure that stakeholders are working toward common goals and assess and adjust the enterprise's direction. Although it motivates and drives Enterprise Architecture (EA) choices, strategic planning is currently not explicitly reflected in EA models. This paper addresses this gap by presenting a principled approach to support strategic planning modeling in EA. We first analyze the strategic planning literature, developing a conceptual model for strategic planning that is aligned with a foundational ontology. We then propose a language metamodel that incorporates the conceptual model into the Archi Mate modeling language. In order to show the usefulness of our approach, we use our proposed language constructs to model the strategic plan of a medium-to-large pension fund.
战略规划旨在改善企业的财务和行为绩效。它关注企业及其期望的未来,帮助设置优先级,将能力和资源集中在关键操作上,确保涉众朝着共同目标工作,并评估和调整企业的方向。尽管它激励并推动企业架构(EA)的选择,但是战略规划目前并没有明确地反映在EA模型中。本文通过提出一种原则性的方法来支持EA中的战略规划建模,从而解决了这一差距。我们首先分析了战略规划文献,为战略规划开发了一个与基础本体相一致的概念模型。然后,我们提出了一个语言元模型,该模型将概念模型合并到Archi Mate建模语言中。为了显示我们的方法的实用性,我们使用我们提出的语言结构来建模一个中大型养老基金的战略计划。

ERP Systems' Usage in the German IT Service Industry: An Exploratory Multi-case Study ERP系统在德国IT服务业的应用:多案例探索性研究
Johannes Hintsch, Frederik Kramer, K. Turowski
In order to achieve efficiency and effectiveness gains, concepts such as standardization and automation originating in the manufacturing industry are adopted by IT service providers. ERP systems are tools to implement such concepts in manufacturing companies. This research examines if and how ERP systems are used by IT service providers. To answer this question, an interview-based exploratory multiple-case study is conducted because only very limited findings on the topic exist. Representatives of 24 IT service providers and ERP vendors were interviewed. We found that ERP systems are used by the studied companies: 21 out of 24 use ERP systems. Seven selected companies are presented in greater detail: one that doesn't use an ERP system and six that do. We describe which functional areas are covered by their ERP systems and which ones are covered by other application systems. For instance, all of the six companies use the material management module of their ERP system, but four out of five cases used a non-ERP standard application system for ticketing. Finally, we found no case that used traditional production and planning capabilities of ERP systems as suggested by previous design science work.
为了提高效率和有效性,IT服务提供商采用了起源于制造业的标准化和自动化等概念。ERP系统是在制造企业中实现这些概念的工具。本研究考察了IT服务提供商是否以及如何使用ERP系统。为了回答这个问题,我们进行了一项基于访谈的探索性多案例研究,因为在这个主题上只有非常有限的发现。采访了24家IT服务提供商和ERP供应商的代表。我们发现被研究的公司都在使用ERP系统:24家公司中有21家使用ERP系统。其中有七家公司被详细介绍:一家没有使用ERP系统,六家使用ERP系统。我们描述了哪些功能领域由他们的ERP系统覆盖,哪些功能领域由其他应用系统覆盖。例如,这六家公司都使用了ERP系统的物资管理模块,但有五分之四的公司使用了非ERP标准的应用系统进行票务。最后,我们没有发现像以前的设计科学工作所建议的那样使用ERP系统的传统生产和计划能力的案例。

A Prediction Framework for Proactively Monitoring Aggregate Process-Performance Indicators 一种主动监测总体过程性能指标的预测框架
Francesco Folino, M. Guarascio, L. Pontieri
Monitoring the performances of a business process is a key issue in many organizations, especially when predefined constraints exist on them, due to contracts or internal requirements. Several approaches were defined recently in the literature for predicting the performances of a single process instance. However, in many real situations, process-oriented performance metrics and associated constraints are defined in an aggregated form, on a time-window basis. This work right addresses the problem of predicting whether (the process instances in) each time window will infringe an aggregate performance constraint, at a series of checkpoints within the window. To this end, at each checkpoint, three kinds of measures are to be estimated: what performance outcome each ongoing process instance will yield, how many process instances will start in the rest of the window, and what their aggregate performance outcomes will be.

在许多组织中,监视业务流程的性能是一个关键问题,特别是在由于合同或内部需求而存在预定义约束的情况下。最近在文献中定义了几种方法来预测单个进程实例的性能。然而,在许多实际情况下,面向流程的性能指标和相关约束是在时间窗口的基础上以聚合形式定义的。这项工作正确地解决了在窗口内的一系列检查点上预测每个时间窗口(中的流程实例)是否会违反聚合性能约束的问题。为此,在每个检查点,要估计三种度量:每个正在进行的流程实例将产生什么性能结果,在窗口的其余部分将启动多少流程实例,以及它们的总性能结果将是什么。所提出的方法是通用的(它可以重用广泛的回归方法),并且可以嵌入到连续的监测和学习方案中。对真实日志的测试表明了其预测准确性的有效性。

Several approaches were defined recently in the literature for predicting the performances of a single process instance. However, in many real situations, process-oriented performance metrics and associated constraints are defined in an aggregated form, on a time-window basis. This work right addresses the problem of predicting whether (the process instances in) each time window will infringe an aggregate performance constraint, at a series of checkpoints within the window. To this end, at each checkpoint, three kinds of measures are to be estimated: what performance outcome each ongoing process instance will yield, how many process instances will start in the rest of the window, and what their aggregate performance outcomes will be. The approach proposed is general (it can reuse a wide range of regression methods), and it can be embedded in a continuous monitoring-and-learning scheme.
