Puerperal septicemia, commonly called childbed fever, was the culprit, and nobody in the world’s medical or scientific community at the time knew how to control its epidemic proportions.

  • Is the Philosophy of the Information Systems Discipline Informed by the Arts and Humanities?
    Article Is the Philosophy of the Information Systems Discipline Informed by the Arts and Humanities? Jan H. Kroeze http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7118-4853 University of South Africa [email protected] Abstract The Information Systems discipline (IS) is usually regarded as a social science because it includes research on human-related aspects of these systems. However, a limited number of IS research outputs use approaches that are typical of the traditional arts and humanities. Little recognition has been given to the arts and humanities-informed stream of the IS discipline. This article aims to clarify the subtle distinctions between these scientific constellations and IS’s place in it. It highlights the cluster of arts, humanities and IS in the inter-linked world of scientific disciplines and makes some recommendations to build further on these accomplishments. Keywords: philosophy of science; Information Systems; arts; humanities General Introduction The Information Systems discipline (IS) is usually regarded as a social science because it does not only study business applications of computer technology, but also the social aspects of these systems, which involve and affect humans (Heeks 2009). It is, therefore, no surprise that it frequently uses the same research approaches too, e.g. quantitative approaches such as surveys, as well as qualitative approaches such as action research, ethnography and case studies. To a more limited extent, however, one also finds research outputs that use constructs that are typical of the traditional humanities methodologies, such as hermeneutics, and even the fine arts. This may be because the social sciences and humanities are often regarded as one homogeneous group of knowledge fields.

  • VR-BPMN: Visualizing BPMN Models in Virtual Reality
    VR-BPMN: Visualizing BPMN Models in Virtual Reality Roy Oberhauser1[0000-0002-7606-8226], Camil Pogolski1, and Alexandre Matic2 Computer Science Dept., Aalen University, Aalen, Germany 1 {roy.oberhauser, camil.pogolski}@hs-aalen.de 2 [email protected] Abstract. One impact of the digital transformation of industry is an increasing automation of business processes (BPs) and the accompanying need for busi- ness process modeling (BPM) and comprehension. The subsequent increased number of processes and process variants to cover all cases, their deeper inte- gration with information services, and additional process structural complexity affects comprehensibility. While virtual reality (VR) has made inroads in other domains and become readily accessible as a graphical interface alternative, its potential for addressing upcoming BPM comprehension challenges has not been sufficiently explored. This paper contributes a solution for visualizing, navi- gating, interacting with, and annotating business process modeling notation (BPMN) models in VR. An implementation shows its feasibility and an empiri- cal study evaluates the effectiveness, efficiency, and intuitiveness versus alter- native model depiction modes. Keywords: Virtual Reality, Business Process Models, Visualization, BPMN. 1 Introduction The digital transformation sweeping through society affects businesses everywhere, resulting in an increased emphasis on business agility and automation. Business pro- cesses (BPs) or workflows are one significant automation area, evidenced by the $2.7 billion market for Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) (Gartner, 2015). Business process modeling (BPM) is commonly supported with the standardized no- tation BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) (OMG, 2011) also known as BPMN2. A primary objective of BPMN is to provide a comprehensible process nota- tion to all business stakeholders while providing complex process execution seman- tics.
