Many decisions are required throughout the software development process. These decisions, and to some extent the decision-making process itself, can best be documented as the rationale for the system, which will reveal not only what was done during development but the reasons behind the choices made and alternatives considered and rejected. This information becomes increasingly critical as software development becomes more distributed and encompasses the corporate knowledge both used and refined during the development process. The capture of rationale helps to ensure that decisions are...

Eine effiziente Abwicklung von zwischenbetrieblichen Marketing- oder Logistikprozessen setzt unternehmensubergreifend abgestimmte Stammdaten zu Produkten, Geschaftspartnern und Konditionen voraus. Unternehmen des Handels und der Konsumguterindustrie tauschen heute nur ca. 20 % ihrer Produktstammdaten automatisiert aus und verursachen damit hohe Fehlerquoten in den Geschaftsprozessen und erhebliche Datenbearbeitungsaufwande.

Dieses Buch entwickelt organisatorische und informationstechnische Losungsbausteine fur das Stammdatenmanagement zwischen Industrie- und Handelsunternehmen und...

This book develops a framework for the detection of formal errors in business process models and the prediction of error probability. It precisely describes Event-driven Process Chains, their control flow semantics, and a suitable correctness criterion.

Information providers are a very promising application area of recommender systems due to the general problem of assessing the quality of information products prior to the purchase. Recommender systems automatically generate product recommendations: customers profit from a faster finding of relevant products, stores profit from rising sales. All aspects of recommender systems are covered: the economic background, mechanism design, a survey of systems in the Internet, statistical methods and algorithms, service oriented architectures, user interfaces, as well as experiences and data from...

Die Herausforderungen des Data Warehousing liegen langst jenseits von Grundkonzeption und Architektur, die weitestgehend gefestigt sind. Ein ganzheitliches proaktives Datenqualitatsmanagement und integriertes Metadatenmanagement sind fur ein effektives Data-Warehouse-System heute ebenso elementare Voraussetzung wie Datenschutz und Datensicherheit, die im Data-Warehouse-Umfeld neue Bedeutung erlangt haben. Zahlreiche Uberschneidungen und daher Synergiepotenziale bestehen mit Customer Relationship Management, Enterprise Application Integration und Knowledge Management.
