This paper presents systematic approach to evaluation of compatibility in a broad sense for user-centered and, particularly, user-model based information and industrial control interactive systems. Compatibility is considered as a multi-dimensional multi-level frame and criteria complex for coherent analysis, design, evaluation, redeployment and operational enduser-centered adaptation of human-...

The environment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Germany is characterized by constantly changing boundary conditions. To cope with these external influences, these enterprises have to adapt their internal organization structures and processes permanently. However, necessary changes often cannot be realized due to the rigidity of today’s order management information systems (OMS)....

The use of component{oriented systems in a workkow system solves several problems of today's workkow systems like e. g. lacking adaptability.

In this paper several modiications are proposed that will improve the systems' cooperation, like the creation of interfaces and the provision of a process context, ...

Mining frequent patterns in a data stream is very challenging for the high complexity of managing patterns with bounded memory against the unbounded data. While many approaches assume a fixed support threshold, a changeable threshold is more realistic, considering the rapid updating of the streaming transactions in practice. Additionally, mining of itemsets over various time granularities rathe...
