Formula One races provide a wealth of data worth investigating. Although the time-varying data has a clear structure, it is pretty challenging to analyze it for further properties. Here the focus is on a visual classification for events, drivers, as well as time periods. As a first step, the Formula One data is visually encoded based on a line plot visual metaphor reflecting the dynamic lap times, and finally, a classification of the races based on the visual outcomes gained from these line plots is presented. The visualization tool is web-based and provides several interactively linked views on the data; however, it starts with a calendar-based overview representation. To illustrate the usefulness of the approach, the provided Formula One data from several years is visually explored while the races took place in different locations. The chapter discusses algorithmic, visual, and perceptual limitations that might occur during the visual classification of time-series data such as Formula One races.
A new class of information system architecture, decision-oriented service systems, is spreading more and more. Decision-oriented service systems provide services that support decisions in business processes and products based on the capabilities of cloud-computing environments. To pave the way for the creation of design methods of business processes and products based on decision-oriented service systems, this article introduces a capability-oriented approach. Starting from technological capabilities, more abstract operational and dynamic capabilities are created. The framework created is based on an integrated conceptualization of decision-oriented service systems that allows capturing synergetic effects. By creating the framework, the gap between the technological capabilities of technologies and the strategic goals of enterprises shall be narrowed.
