    Activities in the library The process of finding references will be difficult for users and with the Covid-19 pandemic condition, work from home is enforced, this will also have an impact on administration and services in the library. Development of a digitalization system and library administration in improving the services of the PNC library using the software development method of the system development life cycle and the system built on a web-based basis. The design uses the UML concept, system testing using the blackbox testing method, boundary value analysis, and system evaluation with the concept of end-user computing satisfaction. The purpose of this research is to build a library digitalization system and library automation that can assist the administrative process and service to users. The result of the research is a digitalization system that can provide information, namely references in the form of final project books and industrial internships in web-based libraries and independent circulation systems in libraries that will support library services more effectively and efficiently

    This paper will describe the development of the web enabled version of a process based engineering design knowledge reuse system. The rationale for using the design process as a central element of knowledge management will be discussed. The system structure will be described. Evaluation of the prototype showed the most valuable attributes of system. Mapping the design process helped to create the product data model. Workshops were used to validate the system. A small number of product parameters are required for developing the product concept in the early stages. The research showed the importance of multi view validation and iteration in system development. It also showed the importance of graphics in design support. Key issues include: the importance of process capture, data model validation, the use of graphics in the interface, system design and system assessment

    The visual design development of Web Information Systems is a complex task. At present, the process is mainly based on experiences and seems to be an immovable part of art. Typically, occurs a late consideration of graphical issues that results in inflexibility and cause problems for extension and change management. Database and software systems are mainly based on development phases such as requirement acquisition and elicitation and conceptual modelling. Moreover, users, their preferences and portfolio are taken into consideration. We show in this preprint that these approaches can be generalised to website presentation. We use methods developed for programming in the large, e.g. patterns. We can map patterns to conceptualisations of web page layout, i.e. grids. Patterns shall help us to reuse concepts. This paper introduces the concept of pattern and clarifies their structure and task for the whole development. Because the WIS development process is based on six dimensions, we initially introduce development dimensions and show the seamless integration of the pattern-based approach. We call the art of website layout screenography. Screenography extends web application engineering by scenographic and dramaturgic aspects and intends to support the interaction between system and user. Screenography aims at an individualised, decorated playout in consideration of intention, user profiles and portfolios, provider aims, context, equipment, functionality and the storyline progress. The users orientation of WIS requires the deep integration of user concerns, tasks and expectations into screenography. Therefore, this paper develops concepts of intention- driven screenography

    Elementary Interactions An Approach in Decision Tool Development

    Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is an established methodology to support decision making of multi-objective problems. For conducting a MCDA, in most cases a set of objectives (SOO) is required which consists of a hierarchical structure with objectives, criteria and indicators. The development of a SOO may require high organizational effort. This article introduces elementary interactions as a key paradigm for the development of a SOO. Elementary interactions are self-contained information requests that can be answered with little cognitive effort, which are made and processed with the help of a web platform. Each elementary interaction contributes to the stepwise development of a SOO. Based on the hypothesis that a SOO can be developed exclusively with elementary interactions, a platform concept is described. Essential components of the platform are a Model Aggregator, an Elementary Interaction Stream Generator, a Participant Manager and a Discussion Forum. The platform concept has been evaluated in a pilot study using a web-based prototype. In summary, the proposed concept demonstrates the potential to advance the development of sets of objectives for MCDA applications: (1) The platform concept does not restrict the application domain, (2) it is intended to work with little administration efforts, (3) it lowers the organizational effort for developing a SOO. (3) it supports the further development of an existing SOO in the event of significant changes in external conditions. (4) The development process of the SOO can be recorded by the platform and thus becomes retraceable. The reproducibility may have a positive effect on the spread of MCDA applications. The traceability and the use of elementary interactions make the platform appear to be a suitable medium for Citizen Science-based approaches to the development of MCDA applications

    How should libraries respond to new forms of publication? Some reflections on the expectations of users and providers and what could be realized at the present state of technical development

    "The paper focuses on the possibilities and problems created for the humanities by the usage of Digital Libraries. The exchange of information, forms of discussion and the process of publication in the scientific communities have changed over the recent years. On the other hand the user group of digital libraries is heterogeneous and difficult to define. We discuss the organization structure and the working process of two communities, which have quickly adapted their communication process to the use of web-technologies: the Open Source community and the scientific research community. We have to distinguish the communication technique, the applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), including search engines, and the barely started developments to realize new Web Services for DL-oriented applications, to support the library services and finally to obtain a new concept, which we call long-term access to digital structured resources by contract. A DL user views a Web Service as a 'black box' and the service has an interface. The user has only to know the preconditions so that the postconditions will support his/her requirements. We conclude by stating that we should accept that publishing and distributing structural digital resources/information is a new way of (scientific) publication based on collaborative structures. Libraries should respond to this development by providing dynamic metadata in a decentralized network of libraries." (author's abstract

    Design and Implementation of a Dynamic Web-based User Interface for the proCollab System Supporting Knowledge-intensive Business Processes

    Globalization and the change to post-industrial societies have led to an increased value of knowledge-intensive processes. Areas creating and utilizing new knowledge, such as research and development are of high importance for today’s companies. In these areas, knowledge workers drive the creation of value in knowledge-intensive processes. However, there is still no established process-based support due to the dynamic nature of these processes. The latter requires a high level of communication and cooperation between all involved workers. The proCollab research project, hosted at Ulm University, aims to holistically support knowledge workers and knowledge-intensive processes. The concept of proCollab relies on the lifecycle-based task management in the context of processes. In particular, knowledge workers may use digital task lists to synchronize and coordinate their work more effectively. To demonstrate the capabilities of proCollab, a sophisticated proof-of-concept prototype has been developed. This work presents the design and implementation of the dynamic, web-based user interface of the current version of the proCollab prototype

    Structured classification and evaluation of current Web UI Frameworks

    In a development and technology dependent world, digitalization plays a major role in our everyday life, so the significance of Web UI frameworks has become more and more important. A general concept is to simplify computer-based applications and especially the use of internet websites. This is where Web UI frameworks come into notice. These make web design easier with design elements and tools. Because the choice is so huge, choosing the right web UI framework is a big challenge and the question is which fits best in a given scenario. The aim of this thesis is to give an overview of the currently existing Web UI frameworks and to support the decision-making process in the selection of a specific framework. First, state of the art Web UI frameworks are collected and listed. These frameworks are then compared against previously defined easy-to-evaluate criteria and reduced to four Web UI frameworks. The latter frameworks are then evaluated using a decision-making method, based on the considered scenario. The results of these thesis indicate that it is generally not possible to determine the most appropriate framework. The main reason for this is that the individual frameworks have different functions and work differently depending on the application. This work can be used as a guide to decide which framework suits best in a given scenario
