Springer 2014.</figcaption> </figure> <p>This SpringerBrief explores the internal workings of service systems.</p> <p>The authors propose a lightweight semantic model for an effective representation to capture the essence of service systems. Key topics include modeling frameworks, service descriptions and linked data, creating service instances, tool support, and applications in enterprises. Previous books on service system modeling and various streams of scientific developments used an external perspective to describe how systems can be integrated. This brief introduces the concept of white-box service system modeling as an approach to model the internal aspects and elements of service systems. This approach provides descriptions that can be used for service management, optimization, and analytics.</p> <p>Service Systems: Concepts, Modeling, and Programming is designed for researchers, teachers, and advanced-level students who want to learn about the new emerging field of service science and IS/IT practitioners who are looking for better ways to describe, model, and communicate services.</p> <p>This book is available at <a href="http://www.springer.com/computer/database+management+%26+information+retrieval/book/978-3-319-10812-4" title="Title">Springer.com</a></p> 2009-09-15T11:00:17+00:00 https://jorge-cardoso.github.io/books/gestao-de-workflows-modelos-metodos-e-sistemas https://jorge-cardoso.github.io/ <figure> <img src="/images/Cover-GW.png" /> <figcaption>Aalst and Hee (Translation: Cardoso). UC Press 2009.</figcaption> </figure> <p>This book offers a comprehensive introduction to workflow management, the management of business processes with information technology. By defining, analyzing, and redesigning an organization’s resources and operations, workflow management systems ensure that the right information reaches the right person or computer application at the right time. The book provides a basic overview of workflow terminology and organization, as well as detailed coverage of workflow modeling with Petri nets. Because Petri nets make definitions easier to understand for nonexperts, they facilitate communication between designers and users. The book includes a chapter of case studies, review exercises, and a glossary.</p> <p>This book is available in Portuguese at <a href="http://www.uc.pt/imprensa_uc/catalogo/ensino/workflows" title="Title">uc.pt/imprensa</a></p> 2009-05-01T10:59:46+00:00 https://jorge-cardoso.github.io/edited_books/handbook-of-research-on-business-process-modeling https://jorge-cardoso.github.io/ <figure> <img src="/images/Cover-HR-BPM.png" /> <figcaption>Cardoso and Aalst. IGI Global 2009.</figcaption> </figure> <p>In the last 10 years, there has been an explosion in the number of theories, technologies, standards, and tools providing business process support. At the same time, process support has taken an increasingly important role within information systems development (process-aware systems).</p> <p>The conjunction of these factors has created a need among practitioners (e.g., researchers, system analysts, IT consultants, business analysts, and chief process officers) for a book providing a broad overview of this promising field from an academic and industrial perspective.</p> <p>To achieve this goal, this handbook will bring together in one place contributions from leading experts, thereby guaranteeing a broad and diverse base of knowledge and expertise. The need for a comprehensive and authoritative book on Research on Business Process Modeling is latent among researchers from academia and industry and from workflow and BPM vendors. Stakeholders are often overloaded with a massive amount of BPM data available on the Web, but with no coherent 360? view of the field. When referring to general theory, techniques, and technologies, publications refer to an array of survey articles, with no reference standing out as an agreed-upon source of common ground.</p> <p>This book is available at <a href="http://www.igi-global.com/book/handbook-research-business-process-modeling/445" title="Title">igi-global.com</a></p> 2008-10-10T10:59:29+00:00 https://jorge-cardoso.github.io/edited_books/semantic-web-engineering-in-the-knowledge-society https://jorge-cardoso.github.io/ <figure> <img src="/images/Cover-SW-Engineering.png" /> <figcaption>Cardoso and Lytras.

While the industry is willing to use semantics, the academia has not yet shown how to systematically employ Semantic Web technologies to deploy a new breed of systems.</p> <p>The book aims to provide relevant theories, tools, and methodologies to develop semantic applications. It is written for students and professionals who want to improve their understanding of how semantics and ontologies can be used inside organizations. It also aims at studying the application of semantics to each of the steps in the semantic applications lifecycle and how semantics can help address critical issues in reuse, integration, and interoperability.</p> <p>This book is available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Semantic-Engineering-Knowledge-Society-Reference/dp/1605661120" title="Title">amazon.com</a></p> 2008-06-15T10:58:31+00:00 https://jorge-cardoso.github.io/edited_books/the-semantic-web-real-world-applications-from-industry https://jorge-cardoso.github.io/ <figure> <img src="/images/Cover-SW-RWAI.png" /> <figcaption>Cardoso, Hepp, Lytras.

Now semantic technology is moving from academic and industrial research into real products and applications. This book provides a series of case studies which demonstrate how real benefits can be derived from the adoption of semantic technology in popular business domains, such as telecommunication, B2B integration, healthcare, education, and others.</p> <p>Semantic Web: Real-World Applications from Industry summarizes state-of-the art expertise and practical experiences from outstanding technology showcases. This volume was written as a joint effort of leading experts in the field of semantic technology from various backgrounds and countries, including industry, academia, and government agencies. It combines a detailed description of the challenges and technical solutions with a discussion of the actual results and a wealth of lessons learned, which will be invaluable for future investments into semantic technology.</p> <p>Semantic Web: Real-World Applications from Industry was designed for industry professionals and researchers interested in the current state and future of semantic technology.
