A lot of people need help in their daily life to wash, select and manage their clothing. The goal of this work is to design an assistant system (eKlarA) to support the user by giving recommendations to choose the clothing combinations, to find the clothing and to wash the clothing. The idea behind eKlarA is to generate a system that uses sensors to identify the clothing and their state in the clothing cycle. The clothing cycle consists of the stations: closets, laundry basket and washing machine in one or several places. The system uses the information about the clothing, weather and calendar to support the user in the different steps of the clothing cycle. The first prototype of this system has been developed and tested. The test results are presented in this work.
The Internet of Things, enterprise social networks, adaptive case management, mobility systems, analytics for big data, and cloud services environments are emerging to support smart connected products and services and the digital transformation. Biological metaphors of living and adaptable ecosystems provide the logical foundation for self-optimizing and resilient run-time environments for intelligent business services and related distributed information systems with service-oriented enterprise architectures. We are investigating mechanisms for flexible adaptation and evolution for the next digital enterprise architecture systems in the context of the digital transformation. Our aim is to support flexibility and agile transformation for both business and related enterprise systems through adaptation and dynamical evolution of digital enterprise architectures. The present research paper investigates digital transformations of business and IT and integrates fundamental mappings between adaptable digital enterprise architectures and service-oriented information systems. We are putting a spotlight with the example domain – Internet of Things.
The evolution of Services Oriented Architectures (SOA) presents many challenges due to their complex, dynamic and heterogeneous nature. We describe how SOA design principles can facilitate SOA evolvability and examine several approaches to support SOA evolution. SOA evolution approaches can be classified based on the level of granularity they address, namely, service code level, service interaction level and model level. We also discuss emerging trends, such as microservices and knowledge-based support, which can enhance the evolution of future SOA systems.
The amount of image data has been rising exponentially over the last decades due to numerous trends like social networks, smartphones, automotive, biology, medicine and robotics. Traditionally, file systems are used as storage. Although they are easy to use and can handle large data volumes, they are suboptimal for efficient sequential image processing due to the limitation of data organisation on single images. Database systems and especially column-stores support more stuctured storage and access methods on the raw data level for entiere series.
In this paper we propose definitions of various layouts for an efficient storage of raw image data and metadata in a column store. These schemes are designed to improve the runtime behaviour of image processing operations. We present a tool called column-store Image Processing Toolbox (cIPT) allowing to easily combine the data layouts and operations for different image processing scenarios.
The experimental evaluation of a classification task on a real world image dataset indicates a performance increase of up to 15x on a column store compared to a traditional row-store (PostgreSQL) while the space consumption is reduced 7x. With these results cIPT provides the basis for a future mature database feature.
The Internet of Things (IoT), enterprise social networks, adaptive case management, mobility systems, analytics for big data, and cloud services environments are emerging to support smart connected products and services and the digital transformation. Biological metaphors of living and adaptable ecosystems with service oriented enterprise architectures provide the foundation for self-optimizing and resilient run-time environments for intelligent business services and related distributed information systems. We are investigating mechanisms for flexible adaptation and evolution for the next digital enterprise architecture systems in the context of the digital transformation. Our aim is to support flexibility and agile transformation for both business and related enterprise systems through adaptation and dynamical evolution of digital enterprise architectures. The present research paper investigates mechanisms for decision case management in the context of multi-perspective explorations of enterprise services and Internet of Things architectures by extending original enterprise architecture reference models with state of art elements for architectural engineering for the digitization and architectural decision support.
Digitization is more than using digital technologies to transfer data and perform computations and tasks. Digitization embraces disruptive effects of digital technologies on economy and society. To capture these effects, two perspectives are introduced, the product and the value-creation perspective. In the product perspective, digitization enables the transition from material, static products to interactive and configurable services. In the value-creation perspective, digitization facilitates the transition from centralized, isolated models of value creation, to bidirectional, co-creation oriented approaches of value creation.
Wie sieht eine erfolgreiche Einführung von Industrie 4.0 aus? Dieses Buch stellt das Konzept, die Paradigmen und relevanten Technologien von Industrie 4.0 sowie deren Gesamtzusammenhänge systematisch vor. Entgegen der gängigen, rein technologischen und anwendungsbezogenen Betrachtungsweise, führt das Buch zusätzlich strategische, taktische und operative Betrachtungsebenen zu einem integrativen Strang zusammen. Zentrales Herzstück dabei ist ein Vorgehensmodell, das den Handlungsbedarf auf strategischer und operativer Ebene beschreibt. Ein Praxisfall, unterschiedliche Industrie 4.0-Use Cases und namhafte Experten aus Forschung und Praxis machen diese Lektüre interessant für Neueinsteiger, aber auch für Umsetzungsinteressierte des mittleren und oberen Managements, die eine neue Sichtweise auf die Komplexität des Themas gewinnen möchten. Das Glossar macht das Buch zum wertvollen Nachschlagewerk für das Thema Industrie 4.0.
This book presents emerging trends in the evolution of service-oriented and enterprise architectures. New architectures and methods of both business and IT are integrating services to support mobility systems, internet of things, ubiquitous computing, collaborative and adaptive business processes, big data, and cloud ecosystems. They inspire current and future digital strategies and create new opportunities for the digital transformation of next digital products and services. Services Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Enterprise Architectures (EA) have emerged as a useful framework for developing interoperable, large-scale systems, typically implementing various standards, like web services, REST, and microservices. Managing the adaptation and evolution of such systems presents a great challenge. Service-Oriented Architecture enables flexibility through loose coupling, both between the services themselves and between the IT organizations that manage them. Enterprises evolve continuously by transforming and extending their services, processes and information systems. Enterprise Architectures provide a holistic blueprint to help define the structure and operation of an organization with the goal of determining how an organization can most effectively achieve its objectives. The book proposes several approaches to address the challenges of the service-oriented evolution of digital enterprise and software architectures.
Enterprise Social Networks : Einführung in die Thematik und Ableitung relevanter Forschungsfelder
(2016)
Die Relevanz von Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) für den Arbeitsalltag in Wissensorganisationen steigt. Diese Netzwerke unterstützen die Kommunikation, Zusammenarbeit und das Wissensmanagement in Unternehmen. Der vorliegende Beitrag beinhaltet eine Einführung in das Themengebiet ESN und skizziert Einsatzmöglichkeiten, Potenziale und Herausforderungen. Er gibt einen Überblick zu wesentlichen Fachartikeln, die eine Übersicht zu Forschungsarbeiten im Bereich ESN beinhalten. Anschließend werden einzelne Forschungsbeiträge analysiert und weitere Forschungspotenziale abgeleitet. Dies führt zu acht Erfolg versprechenden Bereichen für die weitere Forschung: 1) Nutzerverhalten, 2) Effekte des Einsatzes von ESN, 3) Management, Leadership und Governance für ESN, 4) Wertbestimmung und Erfolgsmessung, 5) kulturelle Auswirkungen, 6) Architektur und Design von ESN, 7) Theorien, Forschungsdesigns und Methoden, sowie 8) weitere Herausforderungen in Bezug auf ESN. Der Beitrag charakterisiert diese Bereiche und formuliert exemplarisch offene Fragestellungen für die zukünftige Forschung.
Dieser Herausgeberband beleuchtet die Erfolgsfaktoren für die Implementierung und den Betrieb von ESN. Der erste Teil des Bandes umfasst akademische Beiträge zur aktuellen Forschung und beinhaltet fundierte wissenschaftliche Konzepte für den Einsatz von ESN. In den Beiträgen des zweiten Teils stehen Konzepte aus der Praxis im Fokus, bevor im dritten Teil Anwendererfahrungen in Form von Fallstudien betrachtet werden. In der digitalen Transformation setzen Unternehmen verstärkt Social Software ein, um positive Wirkungseffekte in den Bereichen Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit, Wissenstransfer, Innovationsdynamik, Produktivität oder Führungsakzeptanz zu erzielen. Diese Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) verändern die interne Kommunikation und erlauben einen ungebremsten Informationsfluss und überwinden organisationale Silos. Jedoch werden die in ESN gesetzten Erwartungen in der Praxis oft nicht erfüllt. Geringe Nutzungsgrade, mangelnde Einbindung in Geschäftsprozesse und unklare Wirkungszusammenhänge induzieren die Frage, ob sich eine Investition in ESN lohnt. Spitzenforschung, Thought Leader in der Unternehmenspraxis und führende Experten beschreiben wesentliche Strategien, Konzepte und Impulse für das Management der Enterprise Social Networks.
