TL;DR: With the advent of San FranciscoTM, object technology can seriously be considered for commercial enterprise applications, allowing them to become models of the business enterprise rather than merely systems of accounts, ledgers, and journals.
Abstract: With the advent of San FranciscoTM, object technology can seriously be considered for commercial enterprise applications. Much more work needs to be done in explaining why object technology will be important to business users. In accounting, for example, objects--and San Francisco frameworks in particular--provide elegant solutions to some of the problems encountered in conventional accounting information systems, particularly in the general ledger area. They also support an approach for generalizing accounting systems, allowing them to become models of the business enterprise rather than merely systems of accounts, ledgers, and journals. Such systems will support a much wider spectrum of management and analysis needs than conventional systems.

TL;DR: Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert die Grundlagen dieser neuen Technologie sowie mit der OMG Business Object Facility and dem San Francisco Framework zwei zentrale Ansatze zur Entwicklung of Anwendungssystemen auf der Basis of Business-Objekten.
Abstract: Betriebliche Anwendungssysteme konnen effektiver entwickelt und schneller an veranderte Umweltbedingungen angepasst werden, falls sie durch Kombination objektorientiert entwickelter fachlicher Komponenten erstellt wurden; diese Komponenten werden als Business-Objekte bezeichnet. Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert die Grundlagen dieser neuen Technologie sowie mit der OMG Business Object Facility und dem San Francisco Framework zwei zentrale Ansatze zur Entwicklung von Anwendungssystemen auf der Basis von Business-Objekten.

TL;DR: This work developed a prototype that allows for automatic identification, validation and quantification of risks and aggregation of assessment results on several granularity levels, and the motivating scenario is derived from three business project partners’ real requirements for an EWS.
Abstract: In the APPRIS project an Early-Warning-System (EWS) is developed applying semantic technologies, namely an enterprise ontology and an inference engine, for the assessment of procurement risks. Our approach allows for analyzing internal resources (e.g. ERP and CRM data) and external sources (e.g. entries in the Commercial Register and newspaper reports) to assess known risks, but also for identifying ‘black swans’, which hit enterprises with no warning but potentially large impact. For proof of concept we developed a prototype that allows for integrating data from various information sources, of various information types (structured and unstructured), and information quality (assured facts, news); automatic identification, validation and quantification of risks and aggregation of assessment results on several granularity levels. The motivating scenario is derived from three business project partners’ real requirements for an EWS.

TL;DR: Two years ago, the IBM Systems Journal published an issue containing papers on the content and use of the IBM SanFranciscoTM product, and this essay provides a brief review of some of these changes and introduces the papers in this issue related to the San Francisco theme.
Abstract: Two years ago, the IBM Systems Journal published an issue containing papers on the content and use of the IBM SanFranciscoTM product. Since that time we have seen changes: in the product, in how customers are using the product, and in the marketplace in general. This essay provides a brief review of some of these changes and introduces the papers in this issue related to the SanFrancisco theme.
