Empowering knowledge workers (KWs) to act more efficiently and flexibly in unpredictable situations is the main focus of Adaptive Case Management (ACM), although ad hoc actions at runtime shall not violate the consistency and compliance of an on-going case. In this paper we discuss how business constraints stemming from regulatory laws or standards are transferred from textual sources to formal specifications in the form of compliance rule objects relating to ACM objects. In order to mitigate the knowledge barriers between business and IT, we apply an ontology-based solution allowing KWs to define compliance rules from a pure business perspective using domain-specific terms. We demonstrate the implementation using a repair service case and discuss the benefit of our approach for the sake of administration of business aspects by KWs without IT involvement.

The Internet of Things, Enterprise Social Networks, Adaptive Case Management, Mobility S ystems, Analytics for Big Data, and Cloudenvironments are emerging to support smart connected i.e. digital products and services and the digital transformation. Biological metaphors of living and adaptable ecosystems provide the logical foundation for self- optimizing and resilient run-time environments for intelligent business services and related distributed information systems with service-oriented digitization architectures. We are investigatingmechanismsforflexibleadaptationandevolution of information systems with digital architecture in the context of the ongoing digital transformation. Our aim is to support flexibility and agile transformation for both business and related information systems through adaptation and dynamical evolution of their digital architectures. The present research paper investigates mechanisms of decision analytics for digitization architectures, putting a spotlight to Internet of Things architectures, by extending original enterprise architecture reference models with digitization architectures andtheirmulti- perspective architectural decision management.

Enterprise architecture (EA) offers ways to steer and guide the design and evolution of the enterprise, including its information technology (IT). One of the objectives of EA is to support IT decision-making. This study aims to provide EA researchers and practitioners with insight into the factors that influence the role of EA in IT decision- making. For this purpose, we conducted a multiple case study at three different organizations in which we analyzed how EA influences IT decisions regarding specific issues. EA's support was found to deliver a valuable contribution in all three cases, which however varied considerably from case to case. We have identified four different factors that determine the role of EA in IT decision-making processes: the formalization of the decision-making process, the mindset of decision-makers, the magnitude of impact and the time pressure of the issue. These factors determine how the enterprise architect will be involved in IT decision-making, the type of deliverables and the breadth and depth of the architecture analysis.

The emergence of new technologies enables the enhancement of traditional process analyses, since it provides information from new kind of data sources. However, this also leads to the challenge of information overload, i.e. it is difficult to perceive the essence of the information provided, due to the vast amount of recorded data. Information visualization provides the means to handle these huge amounts of data and allows to uncover knowledge that otherwise would remain hidden. In order to study the effects of visualization, we present different map layouts of a fictive clothing retail-shop and compare how the different layouts can contribute to the understanding of on the one hand the overall shop performance, i.e. finding areas customers stay very long or which are visited very frequently and on the other hand the shopping behavior of customers, i.e. examine the path customers took.

This paper studies the effects of applying process improvement principles to knowledge-intensive processes, which are typical for being supported by Adaptive Case Management systems. The study is being completed by investigating a process of conducting a small-scale research project that results in BS or MS thesis being defended and graded. The research is a mixture of the case study at the department with which both authors are affiliated and reflections on own experience as active participants of the process. The preliminary results show that the improvement principles applied in the project have helped to smoothen the process and improve its outcome in terms of producing defendable theses that satisfy the requirements set by the relevant authority. However, it seems they might not positively affect other outcomes, like the size and quality of research contribution.

The currently dominating market mechanism for selling IaaS resources is the so called supermarket approach: Consumer buy resources from providers without negotiation. The recent development of Amazon EC2 spot market shows that dynamic market mechanisms are becoming increasingly popular. The so called Bazaar approach is such a dynamic market mechanism. On a Bazaar-base market consumer and provider can negotiate all characteristics of IaaS resources described by SLAs. The WS-Agreement Negotiation standard describes concepts for such bilateral negotiations on Bazaar-based markets. The scientific simulation framework CloudSim is not able to simulate Bazaar-based markets. Thus we extended the framework by developing the so called Bazaar-Extension which implements the basic principles of the WS-Agreement Negotiation standard. Using the Bazaar-Extension consumers and datacenters are created, strategies are assigned to them and the result of the bilateral negotiation simulation are analysed.

During the last decades, several research works have been conducted in Business Process Management (BPM) field, and a whole range of tools allowing capturing and managing the business process (BP) has been proposed. However, the current BPM systems leave aside the informal work, which is often based on communication and collaborative tools. In this paper, we introduce the concept of "communication-based manual task" in the BP design. It is a kind of a BP activity which is associated to a set of semantic patterns that enable the qualification of communication content as an achievement of the BP task. This association of semantic patterns with BP activities enables the system to capture informal work, done through communication and collaborative tools such as: email, phone calls, instant messaging, etc. We have implemented and applied the proposal to the customer relationship management (CRM) field in order to respond to the challenges induced by the variety of communication channels. We highlight two main advantages compared to classical CRM approaches. It firstly enables the reconstruction of the customer journeys across the communication channels and secondly identifies all BP actors who are involved in the customer journey; providing by this way a mean to promote collaboration between communication channels teams.

As the life-cycle of IT systems is getting faster and shorter, the lead time requirements of the deployment for updates have become severe. Provisioning automation tools make it easy to update IT systems, but the update of a large-scale IT systems such as a large enterprise system is still time-consuming. Existing provisioning tools cannot automatically generate update procedures because they cannot take care of the constraints related to the states of the current system. For example, the web service has a constraint that requires both of the modification of the configuration files and the restart of the service for configuration update when the service is in the running state. On the other hand, it requires only the modification of the configuration files when the service is not in the running state. In this paper, we propose a novel declarative component-based model scheme that automatically generates the update procedure from the difference between the current and desired state for IT systems with the aforementioned state constraints. We present the efficiency and effectiveness of our scheme through a case study using the implementation of a prototype.

Adaptive case management is primarily about cases that involve multiple people collaborating to achieve a common goal. In cases where progress depends upon participation of volunteers, it is important to make decisions that are in alignment with everyone. Voting as a way of making decisions has some well known flaws. Cases which depend upon volunteers will need to be run in a fashion that assures that every participant is on board. If not, the case manager will find it impossible to complete the case. Sociocracy is a formal method for running an organization based on sociological principles designed to uncover the best decisions and to keep everyone involve. An online system designed to support a sociocratic organization called Weaver is introduced with a focus on how to support organizational decision making behavior without using voting.

Although EA principles have received considerable attention in recent years, there is still little known about how EA principles can be used to govern the transformation of the Information Systems enabled organization. In this research-in- progress paper, we communicate our initial step towards answering the sub-question: how do enforcing EA principles contribute to IS-enabled OT? Based on a comprehensive literature review, we initially propose five testable hypotheses and a research model, which is a pre-requisite to developing a data-driven theory for this important area of research. It is anticipated that the ensuing theory will provide a basis for further research studying the impact of EA on IS-enabled OT. The tested research model will also provide guidance to practitioners on how to effectively design and use EA principles in managing transformative changes caused by IS within their organizations and overall industry sectors.
