Like other conceptual models, their purpose is to exceed the representing capabilities of a textual information representation by providing human readers a more visually expressive and cognitively effective form of representation, and if applicable, to allow for future automation. This paper presents findings from a cognitive analysis on the conformity of the newly specified DMN standard notation with principles for effective visual design. While the principle of semiotic clarity and visual expressiveness appeared to be mostly satisfied, visual expressiveness and perceptual discriminability were perceived as partly violated. It was assumed that the DMN notation satisfies the principles of complexity management and cognitive integration. The goal of this first qualitative analysis is to lay the foundation for follow-up, empirical investigations to investigate these ratings.","PeriodicalId":287808,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 20th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Workshop (EDOCW)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127745428","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}

Although these projects are aligned to specific business needs, common architectural challenges are not addressed in a comprehensive manner. Enterprise architecture management is a holistic approach to tackle complex business and IT architectures. The transformation of an organization's EA is influenced by big data transformation processes and their data-driven approach on all layers. In this paper, we review big data literature to analyze which requirements for the EA management discipline are proposed. Based on a systematic literature identification, conceptual categories of requirements for EA management are elicited utilizing an inductive category formation. These conceptual categories of requirements constitute a category system that facilitates a new perspective on EA management and fosters the innovation-driven evolution of the EA management discipline.","PeriodicalId":287808,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 20th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Workshop (EDOCW)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127853561","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}

In our paper, we present plug-ins for the Eclipse Modelling Framework that make it possible to decorate diagrams with additional visual annotations. These plug-ins can be added to Eclipse-based modelling tools, thus allowing them to enrich the expressiveness of their diagrams.","PeriodicalId":287808,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 20th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Workshop (EDOCW)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131320581","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}

This paper presents a framework on how to enable support for compliance in the context of ACM by constraints. Since ACM applications undergo constant change, there must be ways to introduce compliance rules on the fly. Currently, constraints (and similar alternative solutions) are predominately maintained by technical users, which results in long maintenance cycles. Our framework aims at enabling faster adoption of changing compliance requirements, both explicitly by enabling non-technical users (knowledge workers) to define and adapt constraints, and implicitly by learning from the decisions taken by other knowledge workers during case enactments. The former is achieved by supporting domain knowledge, maintained in an ontology. The latter is supported by a recommendation approach that enables an automated knowledge transfer between knowledge workers by propagating tacit knowledge, best practices, and the handling of constraints and their violations.","PeriodicalId":287808,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 20th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Workshop (EDOCW)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124895599","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}

Reference models for data analysis consist of domain-specific best-practice multidimensional models and greatly facilitate the development of analytical information systems. Definitions of business ratios, business terms, and frequent analysis situations are valuable additions to data analysis reference models which further lower the barriers that inhibit non-experts from using BI technology. Companies may then customize reference models to their specific needs. We demonstrate an approach which allows BI consultants, in collaboration with non-experts in BI technology, to employ off-the-shelf software for the design, management, and customization of data analysis reference models. We adopt Indyco Builder, a visual editor for dimensional fact models, for multidimensional reference modeling and provide a set of XQuery modules for the management and customization of the authored reference models.","PeriodicalId":287808,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 20th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Workshop (EDOCW)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121590226","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}

This means for companies to comply with an increasing number of rules of different origin and complexity. Especially purchasing activities are affected by various regulations that affect the whole supply chain. Companies then need to assure that compliance regulations are synchronized with its suppliers. In this paper, purchasing regulations are reviewed to derive risk categories that can be applied to the supplier assessment. We therefore adopt a generic supplier assessment method called SCOPE. The method is expanded by a compliance category (SCOPE-C) that refers to risks regarding disloyalty and corruption, the relationship to competitors as well as social and environmental factors and additional criteria to form a reliable supplier base. The extended SCOPE-C method can be used to assess to which extent suppliers fulfil corporate compliance policies.","PeriodicalId":287808,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 20th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Workshop (EDOCW)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122786946","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}
