“…By providing end-users with means for creating situational applications, enterprise mashup systems [36] adopt this idea for technological artifacts. Evolutionary information systems [4] aim at combining these properties, hence providing highly introspectable, tailorable technology [37], thus ultimately enabling secondary design at all conceptual layers of the information system.…”

Business information systems (BIS) comprise technological (e.g. programs), informational (e.g. content) and social artifacts (e.g. collaboration structures). Typically, such systems are constantly and collectively developed (co-developed) further by a variety of individuals within the organization. By recognizing these varying types of actors (concerning their goals, technical expertise and language means) and their predominantly developed artifact type, one can distinguish two types of subsystems: technical subsystems wherein the development of the system behavior is conducted by software developers; and business subsystems dominated by end-users developing informational artifacts. So far, co-development structures within and between these subsystems are not well understood, especially the aspect that -potentially driven by appropriate measures such as the provision of domain-specific languagesco-development might shift between these subsystems. This paper presents an approach for characterizing the co-development of real-world BIS with respect to direct participation from different kinds of contributors. This multilayered approach allows us to analyze the co-development with programming languages, domain-specific languages and end-user tools. The approach is suited to assess the direct participation of individuals from different subsystems in the development of evolving BIS. We focus on the intersection of these subsystems, present appropriate metrics and a multilayered analysis scheme. Contributions to artifacts are analyzed using social network analysis to detect structural properties of continuous co-development. The application to Learn@WU, a real-world BIS, demonstrates how end-user enabling technologies have shifted the co-development effort of the system from a small group of developers to a several orders of magnitude larger group of contributors. We observed an increase of direct participation over time on both informational and executable artifacts, while the number of technical experts was more or less constant. Our approach may act as a trigger for the application and further development of rigorous instruments for assessing co-development of BIS.

“…In [7], the authors explain the shift from the purely casual sector to business-supporting applications. In [16], the enterprise mashup technology is introduced in the business domain for improving individual work processes and as the answer to the ever-changing requirements. In [17], the authors give a market overview of different mashup tools and state that although non-commercial tools provide some predefined security solutions, there are still unfulfilled requirements.…”

Abstract. In recent years, there has been an emerging trend towards people building their own sophisticated applications to automate their daily tasks without specialized programming knowledge. Enterprise mash-ups facilitate end users' development of applications in a business context autonomously or with minimal support from the software engineering staff. Hence, mashup solutions are aimed at exploiting the full potential of end users' software development. However, the use of mashup solutions for business tasks gives rise to several security and privacy-related questions, since sensitive data records could be created even with simple procedures. In this paper, we propose an approach where security rules for mashup compositions can be defined, and submitted mashups are automatically evaluated for compliance with the respective policies.

“…Incidents generally involve multiple parties and to reduce the impact of the incidents, joined effort is needed. The situational applications handle business needs within a short period for a small group of users while the traditional BPM systems are supporting mission critical and core business of the organization (Balasubramanizm et al 2008), (Pahlke, Beck & Wolf, 2010), (de Vrieze, . In this paper, we therefore look at cloud based business process management for situational applications which are beyond traditional BPM systems.…”

Business Process Management (BPM) systems have been deployed in many large organizations to improve their business effectiveness and efficiency. Cloud based BPM systems have provided SMEs using BPM in a pay-per-use manner. Previous work has focused on looking at cloud based BPM from the perspectives of distribution of data, activity or/and business engine and related issues, such as scalability of system, security of data, distribution of data and activities. To achieve business agility business process collaboration needs to seamlessly connect local BPM systems and cloud based BPM systems. In this paper we look at BPM in the cloud from a new user perspective, how process models can be handled in the cloud for the fast pace of change of business collaborations. The paper proposes a distribution solution in which at the design time, the shared process model can be discovered from a process repository, and adapted to local needs; at run-time a process is distributed. A real world case is used to explain our design and implementation. Collaborative process for incident notifications is built to work across different organizations.
