Besides, there is only little knowledge about the everyday professional live of scientists. Therefore, it is difficult to measure the change, but that would facilitate an understanding. Furthermore, it is important to recognize performed tasks or relevant processes and how they are carried out in order to understand potentials and limitations of e-science. We analyzed everyday professional lives of scientists by a qualitative study with 19 researchers among various disciplines and identified attributes like role, collaboration, and internationalization leading to a usage of tools among the context of e-science. The presented research is developed in the theoretical foundation of Heinrich's Human-Task-Technology framework and enables herewith a guided further exploration of the topic.","PeriodicalId":20526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Knowledge Technologies and Data-driven Business","volume":"C-27 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72599421","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}

Current work usually explores the underlying processes by employing user studies based on surveys with a limited set of participants. In contrast, we formulate hypotheses based on the different findings in these studies and, instead of verifying them based on user feedback, we compare them directly on data from a commercial crowdsourcing platform. For evaluation, we use a Bayesian approach called HypTrails which allows us to give a relative ranking of the corresponding hypotheses. The hypotheses considered, are for example based on task categories, monetary incentives or semantic similarity of task descriptions. We find that, in our scenario, hypotheses based on employers as well the the task descriptions work best. Overall, we objectively compare different factors influencing users when choosing their tasks. Our approach enables crowdsourcing companies to better understand their users in order to optimize their platforms, e.g., by incorparting the gained knowledge about these factors into task recommentation systems.","PeriodicalId":20526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Knowledge Technologies and Data-driven Business","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74155526","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}

However, skilful performance is not about strictly adhering to established practice when seeking ways out of problem situations. Instead, it is shown that skilful performance arises out of shared meaning rather than accuracy. Particularly in the event of uncertainty, equivocation and doubt, people in organizations should not just follow given rules, practices and theories, but jointly classify, interpret and transform observed data into new knowledge that feeds back, so that subsequent action and its justification can tap into the prevailing business climate, reduce ambiguity, and offer more exciting prospects. A systemic approach is applied to generalize the construction, processing and justification of knowledge to establish meaning within an organization in order to sustainably improve its performance. Finally, the presuppositions for an appropriate actualization of this approach within an organization are discussed.","PeriodicalId":20526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Knowledge Technologies and Data-driven Business","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74836617","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}

Their unscheduled arrival in ports directly impacts scheduling and waiting times of barges, propagating throughout the entire supply chain network. To help LSPs' planners improve planning operations, we intend to capture the characteristics of maritime routes for a specific region (the North Sea connecting the Netherlands and United Kingdom) in the form of a directed graph, which can be used as a foundation for predicting destination and arrival time of each associated vessel. To create such graph we need an efficient way to extract waypoints for traffic data and this is the problem we will address in this paper. Since LSPs only use publicly available data for arrival estimation, our solution is entirely based on Automatic Identification System (AIS) data. Extracting positional information from AIS, we explore various machine learning approaches to identify clusters. We apply DBSCAN algorithm and show its advantages and disadvantages when used on AIS data. The same process is repeated using meta-heuristics, comparing clustering results generated by a genetic algorithm and by modified ant-colony optimization to those produced by DBSCAN. Finally, we present a hybrid approach and its ability to discover waypoints, highlighting the achieved improvements. To extend the problem, two constraints are added. The first is the requirement to handle large volumes of streaming AIS data on standard PC-based hardware. The second introduces the common situation of \"dark areas\" in a map due to problems with receiving and transmitting AIS data. The algorithm discovers route waypoints in efficient and effective ways under these constraints.","PeriodicalId":20526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Knowledge Technologies and Data-driven Business","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80535404","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}

The writer of an open data app is confronted with two choices: restrict themselves to managable bite-sized chunks of data, which can be consumed (read, parsed, and held in memory) in one go, or install and maintain their own data server which the app can query on demand. The Styrian Diversity Visualisation project was conceived to visualise the diversity of inhabitants of the Austrian Province of Styria (Land Steiermark) using open data served from a data server (triple store). The corresponding web app queries the data server at run rime with a SPARQL query to obtain exactly the data required at that particular time, greatly simplifying its internal logic. There is no need to parse and store entire data sets in memory. The data server is an instance of a Virtuoso Open Source server. The web app (client) is written in HTML5 and uses the leafletjs JavaScript library to provide mobile-friendly interactive maps. The user interface was designed as a set of three stories, each guiding users through a scenario with accompanying interactive visualisations based on corresponding open data sets.","PeriodicalId":20526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Knowledge Technologies and Data-driven Business","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79077977","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}

Opinions are divided about the Big Science approach to scientific advances, and this short paper setts the ground for a discussion about the merits and perils of such an approach. We conclude with our belief that the changed technological circumstances, recent scientific achievements, and economic needs will likely lead to a new rise of experimental sciences.

Novel contributions that introduce paradigms addressing the need for process execution flexibility form an alternative to traditional workflow management approaches and are mostly subsumed under the concept of adaptive case management (ACM). However, many of these approaches omit mining any kind of knowledge about such processes. This is because there is a gap between process mining, which works well for structured processes, and ACM, which mainly focuses on information system support for task management and collaboration using heterogeneous data sources. In this paper, we strive to bridge this gap by introducing a method for mining knowledge-intensive processes. It is part of agenda-driven case management, an ACM approach that follows the idea of mining common execution patterns while a case manager handles a flexible agenda.","PeriodicalId":20526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Knowledge Technologies and Data-driven Business","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88234468","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}
