text: Low-code development platforms (LCDPs) recently sparked interest in both academia
and industry, promising to speed up software development and make it accessible
to users with little or no programming experience. Thus, the mass-development
of software applications that are custom-made to the tasks, skills, and preferences
of end users is potentially enabled. Although different LCDPs have been analysed
with respect to their functionality and applied to exemplary case studies in recent
work, there is a shortage of experience reports in which LCDPs are used to digitize
business processes in small and medium manufacturing enterprises. In this paper,
we therefore summarize our experience from supporting industry partners to identify
business processes that are suitable for being implemented with low-code technologies
and to select an LCDP that meets the requirements of the business process while
aligning with the overall digitization strategy of the respective company. We
also present the opportunities and challenges of the low-code approach as perceived
by industry partners. In summary, the low-code approach should be seen as an essential
factor for the digitization of business processes in small and medium manufacturing
companies.

text: Erfolg und Misserfolg eines Unternehmens werden maßgeblich durch getroffene
Entscheidungen beeinflusst. Daher verlassen sich Entscheider oft auf Entscheidungsunterstützungssysteme,
die durch Datensimulation, -optimierung und -visualisierung bei der Identifizierung
von geeigneten Entscheidungen unterstützen. Für eine optimale Unterstützung muss
ein Entscheidungsunterstützungssystem (EUS) jedoch auf den Entscheidungsprozess
eines Entscheiders abgestimmt sein und verfügbare Daten, Optimierungsziele, persönliche
Präferenzen sowie weitere Einflussfaktoren berücksichtigen. EUS-Entwickler können
aufgrund der Komplexität und Volatilität von Geschäftsumgebungen allerdings nicht
alle potenziellen Entscheidungsprozesse während des Entwurfs eines EUS vorhersehen,
wodurch ein EUS einem Entscheider häufig nur unzureichende Anpassungsmöglichkeiten
an den individuellen Entscheidungsprozess bietet. Die Einzelanfertigung eines
EUS, das auf einen Entscheidungsprozess zugeschnitten ist, ist ein kosten- und
zeitintensives Unterfangen aufgrund der begrenzten Verfügbarkeit von Softwareentwicklern
oder Missverständnissen zwischen Entwicklern und Entscheidern während der Entwicklung.
Daher geben sich Entscheider möglicherweise mit einem handelsüblichen EUS zufrieden,
das nicht vollständig mit ihrem Entscheidungsprozess übereinstimmt, suboptimale
Entscheidungen begünstigt und so den Unternehmenserfolg negativ beeinflusst. In
dieser Arbeit wird ein Ansatz vorgeschlagen, der es Entscheidern ermöglicht, selbst
maßgeschneiderte Entscheidungsunterstützungssysteme zu entwickeln und so die Diskrepanz
zwischen benötigter und tatsächlicher Entscheidungsunterstützung zu vermeiden.
Dazu stellen EUS-Entwickler einen Teil der EUS-Funktionalität als wiederverwendbare
Software-Dienste bereit ...

text: 'Decision making significantly determines the success or failure of a business.
This motivates decision makers to rely on decision support systems for assistance
in identifying high-quality decisions using data simulation, optimization, and
visualization. However, for optimal assistance, a decision support system (DSS)
must align with the decision-making process of a decision maker, which is characterized
by available data, optimization goals, personal preferences, and other influences.
Unfortunately, the increasing complexity and volatility of business environments
prevent DSS developers to anticipate all potential decision-making processes during
DSS design, and consequently, to provide decision makers with sufficient customization
options. Commissioning a DSS that is tailored to a decision-making process is
a cost- and time-intensive undertaking due to limited developer availability or
misunderstandings between developers and decision makers. As a result, decision
makers may settle for an off-the-shelf DSS that does not fully align with their
decision-making process and potentially results in suboptimal decisions, thereby
impairing business success.This thesis proposes an approach that enables decision
makers to create tailored decision support systems themselves, thereby avoiding
the aforementioned misalignment between provided and required decision support.
The approach expects DSS developers to provide partial DSS functionality in the
form of reusable software services. Using a low-code approach, non-programmers
can then compose these services into a holistic DSS by modeling a decision-making
process with the help of an assistance system. The contribution of the thesis
is fourfold: First, the thesis explains how to design a service repository to
capture available decision support services for the encompassing application domain.

text: Decision makers increasingly rely on decision support systems for optimal
decision making. Recently, special attention has been paid to process-driven decision
support systems (PD-DSS) in which a process model prescribes the invocation sequence
of software-based decision support services and the data exchange between them.
Thus, it is possible to quickly combine available decision support services as
needed for optimally supporting the decision making process of an individual decision
maker. However, process modelers may accidentally create a process model which
is technically well-formed and executable, but contains functional and behavioral
flaws such as redundant or missing services. These flaws may result in inefficient
computations or invalid decision recommendations when the corresponding PD-DSS
is utilized by a decision maker. In this paper, we therefore propose an approach
to validate functionality and behavior of a process model representing a PD-DSS.
Our approach is based on expressing flaws as anti-patterns for which the process
model can be automatically checked via graph matching. We prototypically implemented
our approach and demonstrate its applicability in the context of decision making
for energy network planning.

text: Decision makers in complex business environments have different goals and
constraints and therefore require tailored decision support systems (DSS). Following
a low-code approach, a tailored DSS can be created by a decision maker as a process-based
composition of existing, interoperable decision support services. Data incompatibilities
may be introduced during the design or execution of such a process-driven DSS,
e.g., when a service always generates or a decision maker selects data which violates
a data constraint of a subsequent service. These incompatibilities cause interrupted
or erroneous decision processes. In this paper, we contribute an approach which
enables the detection of data incompatibilities in process-driven DSS during process
design and execution. Our approach utilizes the JSON Schema specification to define
service interfaces and associated type constraints which data produced by services
or decision makers can be validated against. We demonstrate our approach in the
context of decision support for energy network planning using a prototypical open-source
implementation.

text: "Decision support systems are crucial in helping decision makers to quickly
identify optimal business decisions in increasingly volatile and complex business
environments. However, the ideal DSS for one decision maker may not optimally
address the requirements for decision support of another decision maker. This
is due to differences between\r\ndecision makers in business goals, regulatory
restrictions or availability of resources such as data. By using a suboptimal
DSS, decision makers risk implementing suboptimal decision recommendations which
endanger the success of their business. This presents DSS developers with the
challenge to implement a customizable DSS which can be tailored to the individual
requirements for decision support of a single decision maker. In order to address
this challenge, we suggest a decision support ecosystem in which DSS developers,
decision makers and other domain experts collaborate using a shared platform to
provide and combine reusable decision support services into a tailored DSS. The
contribution of our paper is twofold: First, we define the concept of a decision
support ecosystem with respect to existing digital business ecosystems and discuss
expected benefits and challenges. Second, we present a reference architecture
for a shared platform supporting the realization of a decision support ecosystem.
We demonstrate our contributions in the example application domain of regional
energy distribution network planning."

text: Corporate decision makers have individual requirements for decision support
influenced by business goals, regulatory restrictions or access to resources such
as data. Ideally, decision makers could quickly create tailored decision support
systems (DSS) themselves which optimally address their individual requirements
for decision support. Although service-oriented architectures have been proposed
for DSS customization, they are primarily targeting trained software developers
and cannot immediately be adapted by decision makers or domain experts with little
to no software development knowledge. In this paper, we therefore motivate an
assisted process-based service composition approach which can be used by non-developers
to create tailored DSS. For assistance during service composition, we contribute
a meta-model for the formalization of both decision support requirements and functionality
of decision support services. Models created according to the meta-model can be
used to detect mismatches between a decision maker’s requirements for decision
support and services selected in the service composition representing a DSS. Furthermore,
the formalizations may even be used for automated service composition given a
decision maker’s decision support requirements. We demonstrate the expressiveness
of our meta-model in the domain of regional energy distribution network planning.

text: Companies show an increasing interest in low-code development platforms to
facilitate application development by domain experts without sophisticated software
development knowledge. Thus, companies aim for a more efficient development of
more effective applications since domain experts as so-called citizen developers
are no longer limited by the availability and domain knowledge of trained software
developers. Nevertheless, efficiency and effectiveness of application development
is traditionally also largely influenced by the use of a suitable software development
method. Domain experts are, however, not trained in software development methods.
This introduces a risk of domain experts creating unusable applications or exceeding
the designated time frame of a project (or both). In this paper, we therefore
propose an initial version of a situational software development method which
supports domain experts in manufacturing companies during the low-code development
of applications. The method can be tailored based on situational factors, considering
application requirements, features of the used low-code development platform,
and characteristics of the development team. We also present feedback corroborating
the usefulness of our method and future extension points based on expert interviews.

text: Requirements for energy distribution networks are changing fast due to the
growing share of renewable energy, increasing electrification, and novel consumer
and asset technologies. Since uncertainties about future developments increase
planning difficulty, flexibility potentials such as synergies between the electricity,
gas, heat, and transport sector often remain unused. In this paper, we therefore
present a novel module-based concept for a decision support system that helps
distribution network planners to identify cross-sectoral synergies and to select
optimal network assets such as transformers, cables, pipes, energy storage systems
or energy conversion technology. The concept enables long-term transformation
plans and supports distribution network planners in designing reliable, sustainable
and cost-efficient distribution networks for future demands.

text: Many websites offer links to social media sites for convenient content sharing.
Unfortunately, those sharing capabilities are quite restricted and it is seldom
possible to share content with other services, like those provided by a user's
favorite applications or smart devices. In this paper, we present Semantic Data
Mediator (SDM) --- a flexible middleware linking a vast number of services to
millions of websites. Based on reusable repositories of service descriptions defined
by the crowd, users can easily fill a personal registry with their favorite services,
which can then be linked to websites by SDM. For this, SDM leverages semantic
data, which is already available on millions of websites due to search engine
optimization. Further support for our approach from website or service developers
is not required. To enable the use of a broad range of services, data conversion
services are automatically composed by SDM to transform data according to the
needs of the different services. In addition to linking web services, various
service adapters allow services of applications and smart devices to be linked
as well. We have fully implemented our approach and present a real-world case
study demonstrating its feasibility and usefulness.

text: A lot of people are managing multiple computing devices suited for different
purposes, like private and work devices. Integrating applications running on different
devices is often a problem, because the services provided by those applications
are not meant to be integrated. In this demonstration, we present our XDAI-A framework
which enables cross-device integration of services provided by Android apps. The
framework uses adapters to convert Android-internal service interfaces of existing
apps into external services with a platform-independent interface that can be
accessed from applications on other devices and even other platforms. Our ready-to-use
framework does not require to alter existing Android apps, since the adapters
are installed separately. For the convenient specification of adapters, our framework
comes with a domain-specific language (DSL). Additionally, we provide an infrastructure
to find and integrate devices and their applications' services.

text: Websites increasingly embed semantic data for search engine optimization.
The most common ontology for semantic data, schema.org, is supported by all major
search engines and describes over 500 data types, including calendar events, recipes,
products, and TV shows. As of today, users wishing to pass this data to their
favorite applications, e.g., their calendars, cookbooks, price comparison applications
or even smart devices such as TV receivers, rely on cumbersome and error-prone
workarounds such as reentering the data or a series of copy and paste operations.
In this paper, we present Semantic Data Mediator (SDM), an approach that allows
the easy transfer of semantic data to a multitude of services, ranging from web
services to applications installed on different devices. SDM extracts semantic
data from the currently displayed web page on the client-side, offers suitable
services to the user, and by the press of a button, forwards this data to the
desired service while doing all the necessary data conversion and service interface
adaptation in between. To realize this, we built a reusable repository of service
descriptions, data converters, and service adapters, which can be extended by
the crowd. Our approach for linking services to websites relies solely on semantic
data and does not require any additional support by either website or service
developers. We have fully implemented our approach and present a real-world case
study demonstrating its feasibility and usefulness.

text: Integrating apps on mobile devices into applications running on other devices
is usually difficult. For instance, using a messenger on a smartphone to share
a text written on a desktop computer often ends up in a cumbersome solution to
transfer the text, because many applications are not designed for such scenarios.
In this paper, we present an approach enabling the integration of apps running
on Android devices into applications running on other devices and even other platforms.
This is achieved by specifying adapters for Android apps, which map their services
to a platform-independent service interface. For this purpose, we have developed
a domain-specific language to ease the specification of such mappings. Our approach
is applicable without the need to modify the existing Android apps providing the
service. We analyzed its feasibility by implementing our approach and by specifying
mappings for several popular Android apps, e.g., phone book, camera, and file
explorer.
