    From User-adaptive to Context-adaptive Information Systems (Von benutzeradaptiven zu kontextadaptiven Informationssystemen)
    (i-com: Vol. 4, No. 3, 2005) Oppermann, Reinhard
    Summary This paper introduces context-adaptive information systems reflecting the current needs of the user. Context-adaptive information systems reflect more than classical user-adaptive systems where user and task characteristics are considered for adaptation. In context-adaptive information systems the usage episode is additionally defined by the time and the location, by the physical and social environment and the technical infrastructure and eventually by relevant situational characteristic such as sound, light or movement. To begin with, the rationality of adaptive systems and the concept of context-adaptiveness will be explained. Based upon the description of the three functions of adaptivity, i.e., the interaction logging, adaptation inference and adaptation performance, we describe user-adaptive and context-adaptive systems and the role sharing between the system and the user during the adaptation process. Techniques of location-awareness as currently an important determinant of context are descr...

    Industry Solution adaptability
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ) – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling: Vol. 15, Nr. 5, 2021) Wiel Bruls, Edward Giesen
    The spectrum of changes that enterprises need to deal with varies from simple continuous adjustments of the product portfolio in response to evolving customer preferences, to complete overhauls of the business and operating model in response to disruptive trends. Many research fields and practitioner disciplines have produced analysis and engineering approaches that can help enterprises to assess and prepare for the impact of changes from this spectrum. However, they have partial scopes and consequently limited integration. By selecting, slightly extending and integrating existing approaches, this paper introduces a ‘simple enough’ integrated solution model and a ‘simple enough’ integrated analysis and engineering method that covers the full spectrum of changes. Our focus is the large, complex enterprise that operates in a specific industry and performs information processing at scale. The research is intended to provide methodical support to practitioners with a responsibility for shaping solutions. Our proposal is the result of initial experiences in practice that instilled the research theme, application in a large-scale industry project, focused collaborative research that joined researchers and academia, and ongoing applications and experiences in practice. The solution model and the analysis and engineering method that we propose support three types of adaptability: a) foundational adaptability produces full new business model and operating model parts, b) transitional adaptability extends the current business model and operating model and adds additional configurability, and c) routine adaptability is managed within the configurability of individual operating model components that need to be designed with sufficient bandwidth. A business configuration center is proposed as a key constituent that manages the differences in underlying technology, and that allows to perform integrated, technology agnostic administration of an industry solution.

    Methodenkonstruktion für das Business/IT Alignment
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 48, No. 5, 2006) Baumöl, Ulrike
    KernpunkteBusiness/IT Alignment erfolgt durch eine Vernetzung der betriebswirtschaftlichen und technologischen Massnahmen im Rahmen eines Veränderungsprojekts.Methoden für die Umsetzung von wirksamen organisatorischen Veränderungen setzen sich aus standardisierten und situativ flexibel anpassbaren Komponenten zusammen.Das „Change Method Engineering“ unterstützt einen Prozess zur Methodenkonstruktion, der auf der Basis von Referenz-Szenarien und definierten Klassen von Beschreibungskriterien der Forderung nach Standardisierung und Flexibilität Rechnung trägt.AbstractMethod Construction for Aligning Business and IT Business/IT Alignment represents an organizational change which can only be successfully implemented through a systematic change method. A basic pre-requisite for a suitable change method is its adaptability according to the specific context and the reuse of already standardized fragments to support cost efficiency and on-time delivery of results. Based on an empirical study, a method construction methodology — Change Method Engineering has been developed using method fragments and reference scenarios for designing situational change methods catering for the requirements „adaptability“, „timeliness“, and „cost efficiency“.
