Currently the documentation of Enterprise Architectures (EA) requires manual collection of data resulting in an error prone, expensive, and time consuming process. Recent approaches seek to automate and improve EA documentation by employing the productive system environment of organizations. In this paper, we investigate a specific Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) considered as the nervous system o...

Good documentation is essential to the production and evolution of quality software. Based on a survey on program documentation, we propose a documentation architecture that aims to fulfil several requirements of an ideal solution. The architecture integrates a powerful transformation system (Draco-PUC) and a versatile CASE tool (Talisman) in order to produce documents using reverse-engineering...

This work has been supported by the Austrian Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung. The reuse of application frameworks and class libraries can improve the productivity in software development considerably. Object-oriented techniques, i.e., inheritance and information hiding, that ease reusing software, can be applied to documentation and thus, enable documentation reuse. One can...

Establishing quality documentation system with an Intranet application is a topic of high interest at present. Appropriate procedures handling systems are vital for the management and development. There is a need for common theoretic basis especially from point of view of quality, environmental and safety systems. However, traditional theoretical frameworks for building and maintaining systems ...

This paper describes how a method for evaluating organisational change based on the theory of logical types can be used for classifying organisational change processes to understand change after the implementation of an electronic documentation system in a residential aged care facility. In this instance we assess the organisational change reflected by care staff's perceptions of the benefits o...

BACKGROUND Nursing documentation is essential for facilitating the flow of information to guarantee continuity, quality and safety in care. High-quality nursing documentation is frequently lacking; the implementation of computerized decision support systems is expected to improve clinical practice and nursing documentation. AIM The present study aimed at investigate the effects of a computeri...

Documentation of the nursing process is an important, but often neglected part of clinical documentation. Paper-based systems have been introduced to support nursing process documentation. Frequently, however, problems, such as low quality and high writing efforts, are reported. However, it is still unclear if computer-based documentation systems can reduce these problems. At the Heidelberg Uni...
