In view of this economic weight, empirical analyses are necessary as a basis for political decisions that affect the legal regime of procurement. Despite this importance, currently, the EU cannot evaluate policy impacts based on a valid data basis reasoned in the lack of proper information management. Viewing the case of European public procurement, this paper illustrates the relevance and impact of IT-management for economic decision-making. Thereby, the aim of the research is not to analyze and evaluate procurement performance and policies in the EU but showing the importance of a proper and streamlined application of ICT for reasonable decision-making.","PeriodicalId":193238,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Conference on Business Informatics (CBI)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124281320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on the respective domain, those items can be books, movies, music, hotels, and much more. Typically, recommendations are based on past user interactions (e.g., movies a user saw, hotels a user booked, etc.). This work in progress paper focuses on news recommender systems. Because of the nature of news (e.g., constantly new items, short item lifetime, etc.), recommendations based on past interactions are especially hard to make. Hence, news recommender systems heavily rely on the actual content of news. While previous work mainly considers one aspect of the content of news articles, we jointly analyse and discuss in this work a given corpora of news articles on three different levels (i.e., document-level, topic-level, and author-level). The overall aim is to set to provide the basis for a comprehensive news recommender system, which reaches beyond accuracy and considers also diversity and serendipity. We demonstrate that relevant information can be extracted out of a given corpora, and differences in author, time, and topic can be shown. Furthermore, the author-level analysis shows that documents can be clustered based on the writing style of authors. Finally, our findings show that author-level analysis has the potential to recommend the most diverse items compared to the other approaches.","PeriodicalId":193238,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Conference on Business Informatics (CBI)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123350203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last decades, too much complexity has been added to IT organizations after they had introduced IT frameworks like COBIT for IT Governance or ITIL for IT service management. As a result, many organizations face process inefficiencies and an increase in IT operational costs. Even though COBIT and ITIL, that we use as a reference in our research, contain continuous improvement (CI) processes and guidelines, their approach and effectiveness has been criticized. In this paper, we propose to apply Lean and Six Sigma, CI-approaches that gained popularity in other areas in industry, to CI of IT services. We use metamodeling to integrate Lean and Six Sigma to develop an integrated approach of Lean Six Sigma for CI of IT Services. Our Metamodels provide a visual representation to capture and integrate the main elements of Lean, Six Sigma, and Lean Six Sigma and model their interface with the IT Services framework. We apply metamodeling as part of a Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) and use the Framework for Evaluation in Design Research (FEDS) to evaluate our results using practitioners in the evaluation. The objective of our research is to present a standard method for IT-Services CI. The resulting framework should support the design and implementation, in a standard way, of CI organizations to improve IT Service delivery.","PeriodicalId":193238,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Conference on Business Informatics (CBI)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121210714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They can help to increase sales by helping customers discover new and relevant products. Traditionally, recommender systems use the purchase history of a customer, e.g., the purchased quantity or properties of the items. While this allows to build personalized recommendations, it is a very limited view of the problem. Nowadays, extensive information about customers and their personal preferences is available which goes far beyond their purchase behaviour. For example, customers reveal their preferences in social media, by their browsing habits and online search behaviour or their interest in specific newsletters. In this paper, we investigate how information from different sources and channels can be collected and incorporated into the recommendation process. We demonstrate this, based on a real-life case study of a retailer with several million transactions. We discuss how to employ a recommender system in this scenario, evaluate various recommendation strategies and describe how to incorporate information from different sources and channels, both internal and external. Our results show that the recommendations can be better tailored to the personal preferences of customers.","PeriodicalId":193238,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Conference on Business Informatics (CBI)","volume":"352 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134517089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long-term homelessness is particularly problematic because it can be increasingly difficult to escape from, and because it represents a continuous drain on societal resources. This paper develops a model for predicting long-term homelessness in response to a simple question: if an individual becomes homeless, what influences the individual's slide to long-term homelessness? The data we analyze to answer the question comes from the City of Boston. The model points to race, veteran status, disability, and age as key factors that predict this slide. The paper describes and illustrates the model along with problems encountered in data preparation and cleansing, prior scholarly work that helped to shape our decisions, and collaboration with participants in the ecosystem for homeless care that complemented the model-building effort. The results are important because they point to possible policy interventions (programs and funding) and process improvements (at homeless shelters) to mitigate this slide.","PeriodicalId":193238,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Conference on Business Informatics (CBI)","volume":"01 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131291773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Donabedian's idea was that all three components are connected by sequential progression, i.e. the quality of structure provides for the quality of process and the quality of process provides for the quality of outcome. There are some papers on the study of causal model of structure - process - outcome, but they do not consider the assessment and analysis of the changes in the quality of care observed after certain changes in the administrative structure of a healthcare delivery unit. This paper proposes a model for evaluating the impact of changes in the structure of a healthcare delivery unit on the quality of medical care provided. The proposed method for the development and analysis of the model includes four steps: (1) sample determination and data collection; (2) data reduction by exploratory factor analysis to define the indicators for each of the dimensions of the Donabedian Model; (3) studying the indirect influence of structure changes using the apparatus of fuzzy binary relations; (4) calculating the change in the quality measures after those structure changes and modeling management scenarios. The model combines the apparatus of fuzzy binary relations with the analysis based on fuzzy cognitive modeling. The fusion of the two approaches is justified by the what-if analysis and allows define the optimal management strategy. The model is realized with data obtained by surveying ambulance patients.","PeriodicalId":193238,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Conference on Business Informatics (CBI)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125471472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
