Johannes Kepler (JKU) hat mit mittlerweile über 19 400 Studierenden beachtliche Größe erreicht. Verfahrenstechnik 1997 an der JKU etabliert. Kombination vorhandenen Expertise...

Software processes help to structure and organize software projects. Since software projects are complex endeavors and continuously grow in terms of size, budget, and complexity, software processes are used to coordinate people and teams, to define interfaces in a multi-site project setting in global distributed development, and to provide a shared terminology and knowledge base. Since much pro...

It can be shown that software process modelling, seen as a general software development control technique, can be applied to more specific components as well. In this paper, we propose a model, a language and a tool dedicated to database engineering. As it is now natural, the model includes the concept of product (schemas and texts) and that of process. A process is intended to solve a class of...

Within the domain of information systems, one of the main technological moves we may presently observe in industrial circles is the paradigm shift from object composition to model transformation. This is happening at a very fast pace. Among the concrete signs of this evolution one may mention the ongoing change at the Object Management Group from OMA (Object Management Architecture) to MDA (Mod...

In recent years, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is experiencing a boom, caused by breakthroughs in computing power, AI techniques, and software architectures. Among many fields being impacted this paradigm shift, process engineering has experienced benefits AI. However, published methods applications are diverse, there still much unexploited potential. Herein, goal providing systemat...
