Process analysis techniques supported by diagrams and process models have been used at least since the 1920s. While some of these techniques have become part of the standard repertoire of an information system analyst, others have been neglected or forgotten. In this talk, I will shed light on early techniques, such as described by Nordsieck, and trace the development of those fields that today are known as business process management and visual analytics. Based on a comparison of these fields, I identify potential synergies that can inspire innovations and future research directions for visual process analytics.

ICEIS 2022

Past, Present, and Future of Visual Process Analytics

We live in a fast-paced and interconnected world, in which different focuses in businesses are related and dependent on each other. Four emerging areas of business: Finance, Economics, Management and IT Business (FEMIB) are essential for each country, organization, society and individual as follows. Finance is important to the individual, corporate and national wealth, profits and long-term future. Economics can help us understand how the past and current status of the regional, national and global financial performance. Management allows organizations, governments, decision-makers to make their projects and services more structured, efficient, productive and competitive. IT business stands for new trends of development, opportunities and innovation. We believe that only doing well in these four areas, this can ensure each organization, decision-maker, investor, government and country to achieve long-term success and collaboration. Our aim and objective are to bring scientists, practitioners and decision-makers of these four areas together to foster a strong and well-connected community. We welcome innovative ideas, concepts, services, techniques, research outputs and business practices.

The purpose of the International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS) is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the advances and business applications of information systems. Six tracks cover different aspects of Enterprise Information Systems Applications, including Enterprise Database Technology, Systems Integration, Artificial Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, Information Systems Analysis and Specification, Internet Computing, Electronic Commerce, Human Factors and Enterprise Architecture.

Software engineers have a responsibility for the long-term consequences of the systems they put in place. Software systems bring many benefits and positive impacts to humankind, but also a number of inherent risks and potential negative impacts. We explore a range of such impacts across all dimensions of sustainability and how they can be discovered systematically. We show 1) how positive impacts can be supported and reinforced, and 2) how negative impacts can be anticipated and mitigated. Let’s choose the responsibility that comes with developing software systems not as a burden but as a privileged chance to shift and transform our impacts on the world. And let’s address that specifically the last two years have brought significant burden to the health of everyone and that this needs to be addressed. Therefore, the last part of this keynote expands on how neuroplasticity practices can support engineers and other computer workers in improving their presence, creativity, cognitive abilities, immune systems, sleep and overall resilience.

Resilient Engineers and Sustainable Software: Levelling Up to the Challenges

Blockchain technology has already established itself as an enabling technology for the development of a variety of new complex decentralized software systems. For example, the integration of the blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) provides a promising new research and development direction that has generated significant research funding and venture capital investments. At the same time, each of these technologies is coming forward with a new set of software engineering challenges (e.g., understanding of the requirements related to trust and ethics, software system resilience towards unpredictable social behavior, development of the “ultra-long-term” software systems, etc.) In this keynote talk, I present our recent work related to blockchain and trust from the software engineering perspective. The emphasis is put on the context created by the other software engineering community efforts in the area. Finally, I present the most important software engineering challenges in the development of these complex blockchain-AI-IoT decentralized and trust-related systems.

Software Engineering Challenges in Blockchain-based Decentralized Systems

Crowdsourcing is emerging as an alternative outsourcing strategy which is gaining increasing attention in the software engineering community. However, crowdsourcing software development involves complex tasks which differ significantly from the micro-tasks that can be found on crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk—the latter are much shorter in duration, and typically very simple and do not involve any task interdependencies. To achieve the potential benefits of crowdsourcing in the software development context, companies need to understand how this strategy works, what challenges arise, and what factors might affect crowd participation. Research to date on crowdsourcing software development has tended to focus on the ‘crowd’ or the technical platform, with little research from the perspective of the customer who is seeking to leverage the crowdsourcing development model. The findings from an in-depth case study of crowd-sourcing software development in a Fortune 500 company are augmented with an analysis of over 13,000 crowdsourcing competitions over a ten-year period on a popular crowdsourcing platform are drawn on to evaluate the effectiveness of crowdsourcing in a software development context
