Business Process Management (BPM) suffers from inadequate concepts and tools for monitoring and evaluation of process executions at runtime. Conversely, models at runtime promise to give insights into the state of a software system using the abstract and concrete appearance of design time process models. Therefore, we at first advocate to use models at runtime in business process (BP) modeling....

DQ metadata can be stored in a Metadata Repository (MDR). The structure of the MDR should be carefully defined to ensure a maximum amount of flexibility, generality and ease of use. It should also implement the major aspects of DQ management that are represented in the architecture of DQ. The basic DQ Metamodel should first provide representation of information products and data objects. It sho...

Software Cockpits, also known as Software Project Control Centers, support the management and controlling of software and system development projects and provide means for quantitative measurement-based project control. Currently, many companies are developing simple control dashboards that are mainly based on Spreadsheet applications. Alternatively, they use solutions providing a fixed set of ...

Application of data analytics and visual analytics to the medical domain, and specifically to support clinical activities is more and more both a need and an opportunity. For example, as reported by the US Institute of Medicine, positive transformation of current health systems to make them cost-sustainable and providing higher care quality, requires to capture more clinical data and generate k...

Today, the most successful companies are those that can respond quickly and flexibly to market changes and opportunities. A detailed understanding and knowledge is required to analyze the business environment at different levels. This can be achieved by implementing value added information throughout the organization. There has been an increased demand in the development of IT that performs dat...

Project managers usually have to make critical decisions based on the on time available information. They need comprehensive and easy to use utilities to gain understanding of the current project situation and to make the right decisions very quickly. Dashboards are a common mean to visualize up-to-date and important status information at the right level of detail. Software engineering metrics ...

Software Cockpits, also known as Software Project Control Centers, support the management and controlling of software and system development projects and provide means for quantitative, measurement-based project control. Currently, many companies are developing simple control dashboards that are mainly based on Spreadsheet applications. Alternatively, they use solutions providing a fixed set of...

This study examines business process management practices of balanced scorecards and dashboards as control feedback to monitor and improve hospital processes aligned to strategic goals and objectives. The study maps specific process metrics at strategic, tactical, and operational levels in the hospital environment to overall hospital strategy. This paper identifies how dynamic technological act...

Standardizing the care of patients with complex problems in hospital settings is a challenge for physicians, nurses and other medical professionals. In acute care settings such as intensive care units, the inherent problems of stabilizing and improving vital patient parameters is complicated by the division of responsibilities among different individuals and teams. The use of evidence-based gui...
