Business rules have become an important tool to warrant compliance at their business processes. But the collection of these business rules can have various conflicting elements. This can lead to a violation of the compliance to be achieved. This conflicting elements are therefore a kind of inconsistencies, or quasi incon- sistencies in the business rule base. The target for this thesis is to investigate how those quasi inconsistencies in business rules can be detected and analyzed. To this aim, we develop a comprehensive library which allows to apply results from the scientific field of inconsistency measurement to business rule formalisms that are actually used in practice.
Mit dieser Arbeit werden die folgenden Ziele verfolgt: Eine repräsentative Auswahl und Sammlung von Beispielen für Mobile Ticketing Systeme (insbesondere aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum) zu recherchieren, die sich im praktischen Einsatz befinden. Eine Zusammenstellung sinnvoller Kategorien (Charakteristika) zu erarbeiten, anhand derer sich Mobile Ticketing Systeme unterscheiden oder strukturieren lassen. Eine Gegenüberstellung der Beispiele und Kategorien zu erstellen, um zu untersuchen, welche typischen Klassen bei Mobile Ticketing Systemen identifiziert werden können.
In usage of information systems the maintenance of their actuality and their extensibility is of importance. There is a constant reoccurrence of situations, when these goals cannot be supported by keeping on the old system, the legacy system. A solution for that is its migration into a new environment. The migration of software is to be considered as a subdiscipline of software engineering, more precisely, as a part of software maintenance. In this thesis the reference migration process model ReMiP, introduced in another thesis of the institute, was applied. The goal of this examination is to bring this model to practice in a website migration project and to analyze its validity. Here, especially the subject of completeness and generalizability of the model for migration processes and the gathering of concrete experiences with the intensity of its activities is of interest. The target environment for the website migration will be the content management system Plone. Within this thesis it will be described thoroughly. Finally, the website to migrate will be brought to its new target environment. The result of this thesis is the migrated GXL-Website in the target system Plone using the ReMiP. By this migration, the ReMiP was successfully validated as a reference process model for software migrations.
The industry standard Decision Model and Notation (DMN) has enabled a new way for the formalization of business rules since 2015. Here, rules are modeled in so-called decision tables, which are defined by input columns and output columns. Furthermore, decisions are arranged in a graph-like structure (DRD level), which creates dependencies between them. With a given input, the decisions now can be requested by appropriate systems. Thereby, activated rules produce output for future use. However, modeling mistakes produces erroneous models, which can occur in the decision tables as well as at the DRD level. According to the Design Science Research Methodology, this thesis introduces an implementation of a verification prototype for the detection and resolution of these errors while the modeling phase. Therefore, presented basics provide the needed theoretical foundation for the development of the tool. This thesis further presents the architecture of the tool and the implemented verification capabilities. Finally, the created prototype is evaluated.
This thesis explores the possibilities of probabilistic process modelling for the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) systems in order to predict the behaviour of the users present in the CSCW system. Toward this objective applicability, advantages, limitations and challenges of probabilistic modelling are excavated in context of CSCW systems. Finally, as a primary goal seven models are created and examined to show the feasibilities of probabilistic process discovery and predictions of the users behaviour in CSCW systems.
Public electronic procurement (eProcurement), here electronic sourcing (eSourcing) in particular, is almost certainly on the agenda when eGovernment experts meet. Not surprisingly is eProcurement the first high-impact service to be addressed in the European Union- recent Action Plan. This is mainly dedicated to the fact that public procurement makes out almost 20% of Europe- GDP and therefore holds a huge saving potential. To some extent this potential lies in the common European market, since effective cross-boarder eSourcing solutions can open many doors, both for buyers and suppliers. To achieve this, systems and processes and tools, need to be adoptable, transferable as well as be able to communicate with each other. In one word, they need to be interoperable. In many relevant domains, interoperability has reached a very positive level, standards have been established, workflows been put in place. In other domains however, there is still a long road ahead. As a consequence it is crucial to define requirements for such interoperable eSourcing systems and to identify the progress in research and practice.
Predictive Process Monitoring is becoming more prevalent as an aid for organizations to support their operational processes. However, most software applications available today require extensive technical know-how by the operator and are therefore not suitable for most real-world scenarios. Therefore, this work presents a prototype implementation of a Predictive Process Monitoring dashboard in the form of a web application. The system is based on the PPM Camunda Plugin presented by Bartmann et al. (2021) and allows users to easily create metrics, visualizations to display these metrics, and dashboards in which visualizations can be arranged. A usability test is with test users of different computer skills is conducted to confirm the application’s user-friendliness.
