TL;DR: A service-oriented architecture for business intelligence is described that makes possible a seamless integration of technologies into a coherent business intelligence environment, thus enabling simplified data delivery and low-latency analytics.
Abstract: Business intelligence is a business management term used to describe applications and technologies which are used to gather, provide access to and analyze data and information about the organization, to help make better business decisions. In other words, the purpose of business intelligence is to provide actionable insight Business intelligence technologies include traditional data warehousing technologies such as reporting, ad-hoc querying, online analytical processing (OLAP). More advanced business intelligence tools - such as HP Openview DecisionCenter - also include data-mining, predictive analysis using rule-based simulations, Web services and advanced visualization capabilities. In this paper we describe a service-oriented architecture for business intelligence that makes possible a seamless integration of technologies into a coherent business intelligence environment, thus enabling simplified data delivery and low-latency analytics. We compare our service-oriented approach with traditional BI architectures, illustrate the advantages of the service oriented paradigm and share our experience and the lessons learned in architecting and implementing the framework.

TL;DR: Evidence from action research and multiple case studies indicates that the framework is able to depict business models in IoT, and includes the value network of collaborat- ing partners, sources of value creation, and benefits from collabora- tion.
Abstract: The increasing pervasiveness of digital technologies, also refered to as "Internet of Things" (IoT), offers a wealth of business model opportunities, which often involve an ecosystem of partners. In this context, companies are required to look at business models beyond a firm-centric lens and respond to changed dynamics. However, extant literature has not yet provided actionable approaches for business models for IoT-driven environments. Our research therefore addresses the need for a business model framework that captures the specifics of IoT-driven ecosystems. Applying an iterative design science research approach, the present paper describes (a) the methodology, (b) the requirements, (c) the design and (d) the evaluation of a business model frame- work that enables researchers and practitioners to visualize, analyze and design business models in the IoT context in a structured and actionable way. The identified dimensions in the framework include the value network of collaborat- ing partners (who); sources of value creation (where); benefits from collabora- tion (why). Evidence from action research and multiple case studies indicates that the framework is able to depict business models in IoT.

TL;DR: An approach to business process management, which leverages Agent Technology, especially BDI-Agent features to obtain agile business process behavior is presented.
Abstract: Business processes are the core assets of enterprises. They turn the business potential into actual competitiveness on the market. To face the challenges posed by today's changing and uncertain business environment, traditional business process management (BPM) approaches are not sufficient anymore. This paper presents an approach to business process management, which leverages Agent Technology, especially BDI-Agent features to obtain agile business process behavior. This paper sketches the problem, describes the solution approach, and presents the experiences gained in a concrete case study in the domain of Engineering Change Management.

TL;DR: This paper presents a technique for generating BPEL code from process models expressed in a core subset of BPMN and UML AD, and proposes a model-to-code translation is a necessary ingredient to the emergence of model-driven business process development environments based on these standards.
Abstract: Standardisation of languages in the field of business process management has long been an elusive goal. Recently though, consensus has built around one process implementation language, namely BPEL, and two fundamentally similar process modelling notations, namely UML Activity Diagram (UML AD) and BPMN. This paper presents a technique for generating BPEL code from process models expressed in a core subset of BPMN and UML AD. This model-to-code translation is a necessary ingredient to the emergence of model-driven business process development environments based on these standards. The proposed translation has been implemented as an open source tool.
