Za uporabo Light verzije UML 2.x-a: ocena in vzorec

UML 2.x version has become an even more complicated and diverse set of graphical techniques than its predecessors. Therefore, system developers propose preparation of its reduced, limited or minimal version called Light UML. This problem has become also a serious challenge for the UML academic teachers. The goal of this paper is the study of specifying the UML 2.x Light version content on the basis of the questionnaire survey registering opinions of 180 university students of the University of Gdansk. After the introduction, the methodological prerequisites of the survey are clarified. Then, the research results are presented and discussed according to seven essential UML diagrams assessment criteria, included in a questionnaire. The final UML 2.x version, resulting from the accomplished survey, is exposed in the last part of the paper.UML 2.x verzija je postala celo bolj zapleten in raznolik skupek grafičnih tehnik kot njeni predhodniki. Zato sistemski razvijalci predlagajo razvoj zmanjšane, omejene ali minimalne verzije imenovane Light UML. Ta problem predstavlja tudi resen izziv za akademske kroge, ki se ukvarjajo s poučevanjem UML. Namen tega prispevka je preučitev in opredelitev vsebine UML 2.x Light verzije na osnovi ankete, s katero smo zbrali mnenja 180 študentov na Univerzi v Gdansku. Uvodu sledi razlaga metodoloških zahtev raziskave. Zatem so predstavljeni rezultati, ki so interpretirani skladno s sedmimi bistvenimi ocenjevalnimi kriteriji UML diagramov, ki so bili vključeni v anketo. Končna UML 2.x verzija, ki izhaja iz izvedene raziskave, je razložena v zadnjem delu prispevka

Current and Future Issues in BPM Research: A European Perspective from the ERCIS Meeting 2010

Business process management (BPM) is a still-emerging field in the academic discipline of Information Systems (IS). This article reflects on a workshop on current and future issues in BPM research that was conducted by seventeen IS researchers from eight European countries as part of the 2010 annual meeting of the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS). The results of this workshop suggest that BPM research can meaningfully contribute to investigating a broad variety of phenomena that are of interest to IS scholars, ranging from rather technical (e.g., the implementation of software architectures) to managerial (e.g., the impact of organizational culture on process performance). It further becomes noticeable that BPM researchers can make use of several research strategies, including qualitative, quantitative, and design-oriented approaches. The article offers the participants’ outlook on the future of BPM research and combines their opinions with research results from the academic literature on BPM, with the goal of contributing to establishing BPM as a distinct field of research in the IS discipline

SA++ - How to bring organizational aspects into teaching analysis and design

Because of the close connection between computer systems and organizations, organizational aspects should be taught in system development courses. Dataflow diagramming is a frequently taught technique that can model formal aspects of information processing. Socio-technical methods are intended to cover relations between people and technology in an organization. To avoid learning two techniques, the dataflow technique has been extended with two organizational aspects from socio-technical methods: goals and exceptions. Two versions of the extended technique have been used in a university course for systems analysis and design. Organizational issues were taught together with the technique. The students ' work has been evaluated. The technique is sufficiently easy to learn for students. The students also learnt to involve users in analysing their tasks through a wall graph session. However, many students did not learn sufficiently well to consider organizational impacts of computer systems..
