12. Informing Enterprise Knowledge Graphs with a Work System Perspective.

Author: Chis, Andrei, Ghiran, Ana-Maria, and Alter, Steven
Subjects: KNOWLEDGE graphs, RDF (Document markup language), SYSTEMS theory, LEGACY systems, DESIGN science, SCIENCE projects
Abstract: The Work System Theory (WST) is a foundation theory that enables analysis of systems in organizations. It encompasses a set of concepts that help describing, analyzing, designing and evaluating purposeful systems that perform work. A WST-based method guides a work system's analysis through the identification of problems/opportunities, summarizing the As-Is and To-Be versions of a system. Motivated by a Design Science project running in an academic institution, we explore in this paper the application of graph-based semantic technologies to specify and analyze work systems and to bridge their design-time view with run-time data found in legacy systems. Our contribution is twofold (1) we propose an ontological schema that informs RDF-based knowledge graph building with a Work System perspective; (2) we demonstrate some benefits of having work systems represented as Knowledge Graphs that are linked to operational data and further subjected to semantic queries and deductive reasoning. The Design Science artifact is iteratively developed in the host institution of the first authors and builds on previous development of a knowledge graph that has been lifted from legacy databases. The graph-based approach is viable to bridge an inherent conceptual gap between the work systems conceptualization and operational data schemas, thus adding value both to decision-making and to run-time systems that will be later built to benefit from the semantic distinctions present in the resulting graph.

30. Using the Work System Method with Freshman Information Systems Students

Author: Recker, Jan and Alter, Steven
Abstract: Recent surveys of information technology management professionals show that understanding business domains in terms of business productivity and cost reduction potential, knowledge of different vertical industry segments and their information requirements, understanding of business processes and client-facing skills are more critical for Information Systems personnel than ever before. In an attempt to restructure the information systems curriculum accordingly, our view is that information systems students need to develop an appreciation for organizational work systems in order to understand the operation and significance of information systems within such work systems. Work systems are systems in which human participants and/or machines perform work to produce products and/or services for internal or external customers. This view stresses that systems in organizations involve more than an IT system (such as a data warehouse or an accounting application). The work system method has been designed to assist in developing an understanding of work systems in organizations. The method describes an adaptable set of steps that an analyst can use to identify a work system, clarify problems, issues, and opportunities related to that work system, identify possible directions for change, and produce and justify a recommendation. To date, the use of the work system method in information systems curricula has demonstrated that postgraduate students can benefit from this approach when examining a business situation involving an information system. To contrast the experiences of post-graduate students with work experiences, in this paper we report on use of a simplified version of the Work System Method in a freshman Information Systems course and study how students without work or technical knowledge performed when analyzing IT-reliant work systems in business settings. We reflect on an introductory information systems course that included a work system analysis assignment, and we examine the reports produced by students as well as the learning outcomes and challenges. Our analysis reveals that undergraduates can benefit from analyzing IT-reliant work systems through the work system method. Their analyses tend to reflect their lack of business background, but doing these analyses can help as a first step toward appreciating the business situations in which information systems are used. We present a series of implications for improving the class experience related to teaching work system ideas and including IT-reliant work systems as an essential part of an introductory information systems course. These implications relate to clarifying the scope of a work system analysis, providing examples of successful as well as unsuccessful analyses for guidance, providing relevant analysis templates, succinctly defining terminology and assisting in emphasizing the differences between technologies, work systems, and organizations. Perusing these recommendations, our work demonstrates how information systems students can start developing a holistic understanding of information technology in use in corporate organizations at a very early stage of their learning process.

39. Responsibility Modeling for Operational Contributions of Algorithmic Agents.

Author: Alter, Steven
Subjects: INFORMATION storage & retrieval systems, BUSINESS process management, ROBOTICS, AUTOMATION, FUTURES studies
Abstract: This paper presents an agent responsibility framework that can be used to identify, describe, and analyze many possible roles that algorithmic agents might perform for information systems and other work systems, including those involving robotic process automation. The two dimensions of the framework are 1) a spectrum of possible roles for algorithmic agents and 2) a set of facets of work to which algorithmic agents might be applied in work systems. This paper explains those ideas, applies two examples to illustrate their potential use, discusses alternative ways to use the framework, and identifies areas for future research.

40. Satisfying Four Requirements for More Flexible Modeling Methods: Theory and Test Case

Author: Bork, Dominik and Alter, Steven
Abstract: Recent research in conceptual modeling and enterprise modeling calls for relaxing common assumptions about the nature of modeling methods and related modeling languages and metamodels. This paper pursues that goal by proposing a new vision of modeling methods that overcomes some of the limitations identified in the literature by satisfying four requirements for more flexible modeling methods. That vision builds upon the integration of multiple modeling techniques that are related to an overarching metaphor. Those techniques may address heterogeneous purposes such as specifying a system’s capabilities or specifying which resources are used by specific activities. This paper presents design characteristics and metamodel design options to guide method engineers in adopting this broader notion of modeling methods, integrating multiple modeling techniques, and using appropriate modeling languages. To demonstrate feasibility, an extended version of the work system method (WSM) is presented in the form of a Work System Modeling Method (WSMM) that encompasses seven purposes of modeling that call for successively more formal approaches. A final section summarizes how WSMM addresses the issues and requirements from the introduction, explains how coherence is maintained within WSMM, and identifies areas for future research, with emphasis on ways to make WSMM and similar modeling methods as valuable as possible., Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ), Vol. 15 (2020)
