We analyze the enterprise architecture management (EAM) 'journey' of the Swiss Federal Railways over the last twenty years. Fundamental organizational changes were matched by shifts of EAM's focus from advocating an enterprise-wide perspective over developing the enterprise architecture toolbox to establishing business transformation support. Beyond maturity considerations, insights from this longitudinal case study can be gained from an institutional perspective, i.e., by describing the EAM journey not only as a process of establishing the EAM function, but also as a process that extends EAM effects beyond the boundaries of IT. We identify four principles that guided this process: (1) Consistency of norms and values (2) Focus on reinventing rather than maturing (3) Picking the right EAM 'battles', and (4) Playing on EAM's holistic perspective.

Public organizations handle many request from citizens, some are routine requests, while others are more complex. To handle requests it is assumed that the case handler and the client share some common grounds, for example that the client and handler have a basic shared understanding of the roles and requirement on them. In this paper we examine how the concept of open data can be used to help the interaction between the client and the case handler. Open data builds upon that public data sources, such as legislations and explanations thereof, is made public. Third parties can then make use of this data and provide tailor-made services for clients. The paper is based on a case study performed at a Swedish municipality, and focus on the potential of open data application for improving the municipalities case handling.

Location-aware log data is an untapped source of information that promises new business analysis insights. This is in particular the case for business processes that can be linked to sensor data such as RFID or WiFi signals. Technically, this question can be formulated as a special type of alignment problem, which is well known in process mining. In this paper, we formalize the alignment problem for spatio-temporal event data. Our contribution is a novel algorithm that finds sensor IDs that travel together on the basis of their location information. Questions centered around spatio-temporal event logs may include all kinds of movements, such as customers in shops highlighting 'Hot and Cold areas' or tracking of material and goods in a production plant. For this paper, we choose a specific challenge for retail companies, which is to find out if customers are alone or visit the shop together with family or friends. Therefore, the algorithm is tested using positioning-data of a retail shop from the fashion industry. Our results highlight the benefits of location-based process mining by showing its applicability in real scenarios.

This paper reports the second iteration of the Social Set Visualizer (SoSeVi), a set theoretical visual analytics dashboard of big social data. In order to further demonstrate its usefulness in large-scale visual analytics tasks of individual and collective behavior of actors in social networks, the current iteration of the Social Set Visualizer (SoSeVi) in version II builds on recent advancements in visualizing set intersections. The development of the SoSeVi dashboard involved cutting-edge open source visual analytics libraries (D3.js) and creation of new visualizations such as of actor mobility across time and space, conversational comets, and more. SoSeVi II introduces means of real-time migration visualization between social sets.
本文报道了Social Set Visualizer (SoSeVi)的第二次迭代,SoSeVi是一个集大社交数据的理论可视化分析仪表板。为了进一步证明其在社交网络中参与者的个人和集体行为的大规模视觉分析任务中的有用性,当前版本II的社会集可视化器(SoSeVi)建立在可视化集交叉点的最新进展之上。SoSeVi仪表板的开发涉及到尖端的开源可视化分析库(D3.js),并创建了新的可视化,例如跨时间和空间的演员移动性、会话彗星等。SoSeVi II引入了社交集之间实时迁移可视化的方法。

Workflow automation was first applied for structured processes, for processes which were determined at design time. Decades later case management emerged, workflows which were determined at runtime. Decisions in case management are made by human actors. Case management processing is very labor intensive. How could case management be transferred to a Straight-through processing type workflow which reduces involvement of human actors? This paper focuses on merger of case management with real time analytics which helps to replace human decision makers in the case management process with automated real time decision making while preserving non-deterministic nature of the workflow. Merger of case management with real time big data analytics could be next step in the evolution of the case management. Reference architecture for case management and real time analytics merger is defined. Also a case study is presented which implements defined reference architecture.

A major approach for formalizing business policies or compliance rules (e.g., stemming from regulatory laws or standards) are behavioral constraints. Flexible business process management approaches such as Adaptive Case Management provide business users the necessary freedom to react to unforeseeable circumstances by ad-hoc changes, but behavioral constraints are often defined and maintained on a technical level which is inaccessible for business users. Consequently, long update cycles of these constraints might result in the enactment of obsolete, incomplete or faulty constraints which hinder the work of the business user instead of supporting it. In this paper, an ontology-based approach for defining and maintaining behavioral constraints in the context of flexible business processes is proposed. The approach aims at enabling business users to take active part in the creation and maintenance of behavioral constraints. The practical applicability of the approach is discussed by means of a realistic scenario on compliance in the context of renovation, repairs, and maintenance of buildings.
形式化业务策略或遵从规则(例如,源于法规或标准)的主要方法是行为约束。灵活的业务流程管理方法(如Adaptive Case management)为业务用户提供了通过临时更改对不可预见的情况作出反应的必要自由,但是行为约束通常是在业务用户无法访问的技术级别上定义和维护的。因此,这些约束的长更新周期可能导致制定过时的、不完整的或有缺陷的约束,从而阻碍业务用户的工作,而不是支持它。本文提出了一种基于本体的方法,用于在灵活的业务流程上下文中定义和维护行为约束。该方法旨在使业务用户能够积极地参与行为约束的创建和维护。本文通过对建筑翻新、维修和维护过程中合规问题的实际情况进行了讨论。

This paper presents a visual environment, called SAVE, to model IoT systems with dynamic and static properties. Firstly, the dynamic properties, such as operational requirements, of the systems are specified with a process algebra, called δ-Calculus, and, secondly the static properties, such as safety requirements, of the systems are specified with a first-order logic, called GTS Logic. Once specifications are done, the static properties are verified on the dynamic properties by checking whether or not the static properties are valid for the simulation of the systems based on the dynamic properties. SAVE provides a set of visual tools to specify both dynamic and static properties of the systems, simulate the systems based on the dynamic properties, and to verify the static properties on the dynamic properties from the simulation. SAVE is developed on the ADOxx meta-modeling platform. It can be considered one of the most innovative visual tools to model IoT systems for both dynamic and static properties of the systems and to verify the validity of the static properties on the dynamic properties.
