    Value awareness in web site design2009Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis aims to develop knowledge about value-awareness in website design. To achieve the aim - this thesis investigates values in thedesign of Swedish municipality web sites through a perspective ofinherited values. It covers the designer perspectives’ intentions andreasons as well as user experiences and expectations. Value awarenessis influenced by theories where values and the creation of meaning arefocused. E.g., theories about: Genres; Use quality; Value sensitivedesign. The design process is seen as a decision process, wherequestions about prioritization of values have been considered.The study yields four main contributions. 1) A reflective concept ofvalue awareness; 2) Knowledge about genre-related design effects byusing the perspective of inherited values; 3) A method for value awareweb design; and 4) A guide to design by example. The empirical studyis a contribution for practical web site design for municipalities.A conclusion made in the study is that the perspective of inheritedvalues contributes to reflections on website design in several differentways. The perspective makes it possible to detect effects of designdecisions and it supports the identification of different designexamples which can be used to discuss design priorities,communicated values, and design effects. This study has shown that itis important to be value aware in web site design. Inspiration fromother designs, leads to inheritance of value prioritizations. Elements ofthe design process, such as technical and organizational arrangementsconvey prioritizations made elsewhere at earlier stages. These factorscreate expectations and experiences that might not be appropriate inthe context in which the web site is intended.

    Knowledge management systems acceptance2009In: Encyclopedia of information science and technology / [ed] Mehdi Khosrow-Pour, Hershey, PA: IGI Global, 2009, 2, p. 2368-2372Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Knowledge management is a set of systematic actions that organizations can take to obtain the greatest value from the knowledge available to it (Davenport & Prusak, 1998). Systematic means that knowledge management is made up of intentional actions in an organizational context. Value means that knowledge management is measured according to how knowledge management projects contribute to increased organizational ability (see for example Prieto & Gutiérrez, 2001; see Goldkuhl & Braf, 2002, on the subject of organizational ability). The motivation for knowledge management is that the key to competitive advantage for organizations in today’s business world is organizations’ ability to manage knowledge (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995; Davenport & Prusak, 1998). Knowledge management as an intentional and value-adding action is not easy to accomplish in practice (Scarbrough & Swan, 1999). Scarbrough and Swan (1999) present several case studies in knowledge management, successful and unsuccessful in their respective knowledge management projects. A major point and lessons learned from the case studies is that prevalent approaches in knowledge management overstate technology and understate how technology is implemented and applied. To succeed with knowledge management, encompassing development of information technology-based information system, some requirements have to be fulfilled. An important aspect in the development process is system acceptance. Implementation is at large a process of acceptance. Implementation is the process where the system becomes an integrated part of the users’ or workers’ work practice. Therefore implementation is essential to make a knowledge management project successful in order attain an increased organizational ability and to succeed with knowledge management.

    Problem i Ajax-utveckling2007Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Utvecklingen av webben har från att vara statisk i sin presentation och förmedling av information

    övergått till att vara mycket rikare på funktionalitet och interaktionsmöjligheter. Ajax är ett begrepp

    som relaterar till en samling tekniker som när de används i kombination ger möjligheten att skapa

    webbapplikationer som sett till effektivitet och interaktion kan jämföras med lokala applikationer. I

    grunden ger Ajax möjlighet till asynkron kommunikation vilket ersätter den traditionella

    webbmodellens synkrona beteende. Detta leder till webbapplikationer kan inta en ny

    interaktionsform där innehåll inte behöver laddas i form av hela sidor. Webbutvecklare ställs

    därmed inför en rad problem när dessa webbapplikationer skall skapas i jämförelse med den

    traditionella webbutvecklingen och syftet med denna uppsats är således att kartlägga problem och

    problemområden som finns vid webbutveckling med Ajax. Detta har vi åstadkommit med en

    inledande litteraturstudie vilken resulterade i ett antal problem vilka vi även har styrkt via intervjuer

    med ett antal webbutvecklare. Intervjuerna resulterade även i problem som vi inte funnit i litteratur.

    Resultatet visar på att Ajax ställer utvecklaren inför ett antal problem som vi kategoriserat enligt

    användbarhet, tillgänglighet, utveckling och integration. Problemens grad av relevans har visat sig

    bero på applikationens målgrupp och användarsituation.

    Attityd till och användande av ny teknik: Med Near Field Communication som exempel2013Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats är en förstudie om den trådlösa tekniken Near Field Communication (NFC), som vi författare genomförde via en enkät. Några av svaren på enkäten som berörde ämnet riskbeteende fick oss att undra varför respondenter svarade som de gjorde på vissa frågor, då detta kunde innebära att de tog en risk med personlig information. Detta ledde till att vi ville ta reda på varför och till vilken gräns personer är villiga att ta risker med ny teknik, men även vilka variabler som spelar in i deras beslut att använda eller inte använda ny teknik. Vårt tillvägagångssätt är en litteraturstudie för att förstå vad som menas med användbarhet, riskbeteende och pålitlighet samt hur dessa hänger ihop. Efter att vi bildat oss en uppfattning om dessa och fördjupat oss lite mer inom ämnena, så genomförde vi intervjuer för att se hur den information vi forskat fram förhöll sig till våra respondenter. Urvalet av de personer som intervjuades har varit ”bekvämlighetsurval”, alltså personer i vår närhet.  Resultatet pekar på att det finns en hel del förarbete att genomföra innan man lanserar ny teknik. Dessutom har upplevd pålitlighet till företaget stor betydelse. För att många personer ska ta till sig ny teknik krävs det information och en del tillit till företaget i fråga, detta för att personen ens ska börja använda tekniken.

    Abstract [en]

    A fighter aircraft flying a mission is often exposed to ground-based threats such as surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites.The fighter pilot needs to take actions to minimize the risk of being shot down, but at the same time be able to accomplish the mission. In this paper we propose a survivability model, which describes the probability that the aircraft will be able to fly a given route without being hit by incoming missiles. Input to this model can consist of sensor measurements collected during flight as well as intelligence data gathered before the mission.This input is by nature uncertain and we therefore investigate the influence of uncertainty in the input to the model. Finally we propose a number of decision support functions that can be developed based on the suggested model such as countermeasure management, mission planning and sensor management

    Abstract [en]

    A survivability model can be a useful component of a tactical support system able to aid fighter pilots to assess the risk of getting hit by enemy fire from ground-based threats. This work identifies three desirable properties of such a model: it should allow for evaluating actions; it should enable domain experts to incorporate their knowledge; and it should represent uncertainties both regarding the locations of the threats as well as their future actions. A survivability model is suggested, which calculates the probability that the aircraft can fly a route unharmed and allows for routes of different lengths to be compared. A domain expert can describe the threats by specifying the risk of getting hit at a position of the route without having to consider the earlier actions of the aircraft and the threats. Three different threat models are suggested and compared. The influence of uncertainties regarding the positions of the threats is studied by calculating the probability density function for the survivability. Different representations that take into account both the uncertainty regarding the present and future situation are discussed. The results indicate that the suggested survivability model could be a useful component of a future tactical support system, even though some further development is needed.

    Abstract [en]

    Aircraft flying in hostile environments are exposed to ground-based air defense systems. It is not always possible to both accomplish the mission and fly outside the range of the enemy’s weapon systems, especially if the positions of the enemy’s systems are not perfectly known. Automatic evaluation of mission routes from a combat survival perspective could therefore aid the pilots to plan their missions. When updated information regarding the positions and capabilities of the enemy’s systems is received during flight, the route could be re-evaluated and the mission could be re-planed or aborted if it is assessed to be too dangerous.

    The survivability model presented here describes the relation between the aircraft and the enemy’s defense systems. It calculates the probabilities that the aircraft is in certain modes along the route, e.g., undetected, tracked or hit. Contrary to previous work, the model is able to capture that the enemy’s systems can communicate and that the enemy must track the aircraft before firing a weapon. The survivability model is used to calculate an expected cost for the mission route. The expected cost has the attractive properties of summarizing the route into a single value and is able to take the pilot’s risk attitude for the mission into account. The evaluation of the route is influenced by uncertainty regarding the locations of the enemy’s sensors and weapons. Monte Carlo simulations are used to capture this uncertainty by calculating the mean and standard deviation for the expected cost. These two parameters give the pilots an assessment of the danger associated with the route as well as the reliability of this assessment. The paper concludes that evaluating routes with the survivability model and the expected cost could aid the pilots to plan and execute their missions.

    Augmenting topology-based maps with geometric information2002In: Robotics and Autonomous Systems, ISSN 0921-8890, E-ISSN 1872-793X, Vol. 40, no 2, p. 91-97Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Topology-based maps are a new representation of the workspace of a mobile robot, which capture the structure of the free space in the environment in terms of the basic topological notions of connectivity and adjacency. A topology-based map can represent the environment in terms of open spaces (rooms and corridors) connected by narrow passages (doors and junctions). In this paper, we show how to enrich a topology-based map with geometric information useful for the generation and execution of navigation plans. Both the topology-based map and its geometric information are automatically extracted from sensor data. We illustrate the use of topology-based maps for planned behavior-based navigation on a real robot.

    Varför blogga?: Den sociala kontextens betydelse för bloggandet.2007Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna studie fokuserar på bloggen som fortfarande är ett relativt nytt fenomen i Sverige. Detta har gjorts ur ett perspektiv där den sociala kontextens påverkan och betydelse för bloggaren utforskas, för att se om detta kan ge förklaringar till varför människor bloggar.

    För att se vilka olika typer av påverkan som finns mellan bloggaren och den sociala kontexten, har några frågeställningar först undersökts. Dessa var:

    - Hur påverkas bloggaren av att läsa andras bloggar?

    - Hur påverkas bloggaren av den egna bloggens läsare?

    - Hur påverkar bloggaren andra?

    - Hur påverkas bloggaren av att vara anonym eller inte vara anonym?

    - Hur påverkas bloggaren av att censurera sig eller inte censurera sig?

    - Hur påverkas bloggaren och dess liv utanför bloggen, av bloggandet med dess sociala kontext?

    Studien har utförts som en kvalitativ studie, där intervjuer med bloggare och dokumentstudier av deras bloggar har genomförts. De svar som framkom vid frågeställningarna analyserades sedan, och vid denna process har olika grupperingar av svar utkristalliserats som visat på vilka gemensamma åsikter som respondenterna haft. I nästa led har de analyserade svaren ifrån frågeställningarna kopplats till Anthony Giddens struktureringsteori som använts som referensram för att se vad olika aspekter kan ha för betydelse för bloggaren. Denna teori har funnits passande till studien på grund av att den ger förklaringar till hur den sociala omgivningen påverkar människan och hur människan påverkar den sociala omgivningen.

    De slutsatser som framkom var att det finns olika former av påverkan mellan bloggaren och den sociala kontexten, som med hjälp av Anthony Giddens struktureringsteori kunde ge ytterligare förklaringar till varför människor bloggar.

    Computerized decision support system in nursing homes2012Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The overall aim of this thesis was to study the thinking strategies and clinical reasoning processes of registered nurses (RNs) and to implement and test a computerized decision support system (CDSS) integrated into the electronic health care record (EHR) to improve patient outcomes, i.e. to prevent pressure ulcers (PUs) and malnutrition among residents in nursing homes. 

    A think-aloud (TA) study with a purposeful sample of RNs (n=30) was conducted to explore their thinking strategies and clinical reasoning (Paper I). A quasi-experimental study with a convenience sample of residents (at baseline, n=491 and at follow-up, n=480) from nursing homes (n=15) allocated into two intervention groups and one control group was carried out in 2007 and 2009 (Paper II). In Paper III residents’ records were reviewed with three instruments. Nursing personnel (n=25) from four nursing homes that had used the CDSS for eight months were interviewed and the CDSS was tested by nursing personnel (n=5) in two usability evaluations (Paper IV).

    The results showed that the RNs used a variety of thinking strategies and a lack of systematic risk assessment was identified (Paper I). The proportion of malnourished residents decreased significantly in one of the intervention groups after implementing the CDSS, however there were no differences between the groups (Paper II). The CDSS resulted in more complete and comprehensive documentation of PUs and malnutrition (Paper III). The nursing personnel considered ease of use, usefulness and a supportive work environment as the main facilitators of CDSS use in nursing homes. Barriers were lack of training, resistance to using computers and limited integration of the CDSS within the EHR system (Paper IV). In conclusion, the findings support integrating CDSSs into the EHR in nursing homes to support the nursing personnel.

    Abstract [en]

    Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the thinking strategies and clinical reasoning processes registered nurses use during simulated care planning for malnutrition and pressure ulcers in nursing home care.

    Background: Clinical reasoning is an essential component of nursing practice. Registered nurses’ thinking strategies and clinical reasoning have received limited attention in nursing science. Further research is needed to understand registered nurses’ clinical reasoning, especially for prevention of malnutrition and pressure ulcers as they are important quality indicators of resident care in nursing homes.

    Design: A qualitative explorative design was used with a think-aloud interview technique.

    Methods: The transcribed verbalisations were analysed with qualitative deductive content analysis. Data were collected during six months in 2007-2008 from 30 registered nurses at nine nursing homes in Norway.

    Results: The registered nurses used a variety of thinking strategies, but there were differences in the frequency of use of the different strategies. The three most commonly used thinking strategies were ‘making choices’, ‘forming relationships’ and ‘drawing conclusions’. None of the nurses performed a structured risk assessment of malnutrition or pressure ulcers. Registered nurses started with assessing data from the scenarios, but after a short and elementary assessment they moved directly to planning.

    Conclusion: Many different thinking strategies were used in registered nurses’ clinical reasoning for prevention of malnutrition and pressure ulcers. The thinking strategy ‘making choices’ was most commonly used and registered nurses’ main focus in their reasoning was on planning nursing interventions. Relevance to clinical practice. This study showed that most of the registered nurses go directly to planning when reasoning clinically about residents in nursing homes. A lack of systematic risk assessments was identified. The insight gained from this study can be used to recommend improvements in tools designed for nursing homes to support the registered nurses.

    2011 (English)In: International Journal of Medical Informatics, ISSN 1386-5056, E-ISSN 1872-8243, Vol. 80, no 9, p. 607-617Article in journal (Refereed) Published
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Computerized decision support systems (CDSSs) have been shown to help health care professionals to avoid errors and improve clinical practice and efficiency in health care. Little is known about its influence on nursing practice and outcomes for residents in nursing homes.

    Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on the risk for and prevalence of pressure ulcers (PUs) and malnutrition of implementing a CDSS to improve prevention and care of PUs and also to improve nutrition in the elderly in nursing homes.

    Design setting and participants: The study used a quasi-experimental design with two intervention groups and one control group. A convenience sample of residents from 46 units in 15 nursing homes in rural areas in Norway was included. A total of 491 residents participated at baseline in 2007 and 480 residents at follow-up in 2009. Methods: The intervention included educational sessions in prevention of PUs and malnutrition for registered nurses (RNs) and nursing aides (NAs) in the two intervention groups. In addition, one intervention group (intervention group 1) had a CDSS integrated into the electronic healthcare record (EHR) based on two research-based risk assessment instruments: the Risk Assessment Pressure Scale (RAPS) for PU risk screening and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA (R)) scale for screening nutritional status. In each participating nursing home trained RNs and NAs examined all residents who consented to participate on the RAPS and the MNA (R) scale. This examination included a skin assessment and details about PUs were collected.

    Results: The proportion of malnourished residents decreased significantly in intervention group 1 between the two data collection periods (2007 and 2009). No other significant effects of the CDSS on resident outcomes based on the RAPS and MNA (R) scores were found.

    Conclusion: CDSSs used by RNs and NAs in nursing homes are still largely unexplored. A CDSS can be incorporated into the EHR to increase the meaningful use of these computerized systems in nursing home care. The effects of CDSS on healthcare provider workflow, clinical decision making and communication about preventive measures in nursing home practice still need further exploration. Based on results from our study, recommendations would be to increase both sample size and the number of RNs and NAs who participate in CDSS education programs.

    Abstract [en]

    Background: Computerized decision support systems (CDSSs) have the potential to significantly improve the quality of nursing care of older people by enhancing the decision making of nursing personnel. Despite this potential, health care organizations have been slow to incorporate CDSSs into nursing home practices.

    Objective: This study describes facilitators and barriers that impact the ability of nursing personnel to effectively use a clinical CDSS for planning and treating pressure ulcers (PUs) and malnutrition and for following the suggested risk assessment guidelines for the care of nursing home residents.

    Methods: We employed a qualitative descriptive design using varied methods, including structured group interviews, cognitive walkthrough observations and a graphical user interface (GUI) usability evaluation. Group interviews were conducted with 25 nursing personnel from four nursing homes in southern Norway. Five nursing personnel participated in cognitive walkthrough observations and the GUI usability evaluation. Text transcripts were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

    Results: Group interview participants reported that ease of use, usefulness and a supportive work environment were key facilitators of CDSS use. The barriers identified were lack of training, resistance to using computers and limited integration of the CDSS with the facility’s electronic health record (EHR) system. Key findings from the usability evaluation also identified the difficulty of using the CDSS within the EHR and the poorly designed GUI integration as barriers.

    Conclusion: Overall, we found disconnect between two types of nursing personnel. Those who were comfortable with computer technology reported positive feedback about the CDSS, while others expressed resistance to using the CDSS for various reasons. This study revealed that organizations must invest more resources in educating nursing personnel on the seriousness of PUs and poor nutrition in the elderly, providing specialized CDSS training and ensuring that nursing personnel have time in the workday to use the CDSS.

    Hur säkerställer man att en applikation uppfyller prestandakrav?: Riktlinjer för prestandatestning2013Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Alla kommer dagligen i kontakt med prestanda. Vare sig det är att köra bil eller att starta sin TV i hemmet så finns det prestanda i dessa av en viss mängd vilket resulterar i hur snabbt bilen accelererar och hur mycket den orkar med, eller hur snabbt TV:n startar och byter kanal. Detta är två olika scenarion där de flesta troligtvis bryr sig mer om bilscenariot. Detta kan dock förändras helt plötsligt när det tar tio sekunder att byta kanal på sin TV. Man kan då säga att prestanda inte prioriterats och att kunden då blir lidande.

    Utifrån dessa scenarion kan man se hur viktigt prestanda kan vara, även i vardagliga situationer som vi inte ens reflekterar över. Det är just detta som vi vill belysa och hjälpa till med i denna undersökning - att identifiera hur man kan säkerställa att sina applikationer uppfyller prestandakrav.

    I undersökningen har vi tillämpat aktionsforskning och utgått ifrån aktuella teorier inom testning genom en litteraturstudie av vetenskapliga artiklar inom ämnet såväl som facklitteratur. För att vidare verifiera detta så genomfördes även en intervjustudie hos Transportstyrelsen.

    Vi har i undersökningen identifierat att det finns ett tydligt behov i många applikationer av just prestandatester. Andra viktiga saker som framkommit är att det kan vara svårt att genomföra prestandatester på ett tillräckligt omfattande sätt och att det kräver tillgång till automatiserade verktyg för att underlätta testningen.

    Studien har resulterat i riktlinjer för vilka prestandatester som bör utföras, vem som bör utföra dessa, när de bör genomföras, vilket verktyg som kan användas och sist varför man bör göra just dessa. Genom att följa dessa riktlinjer så kan man motivera sin prestandatestning för projekten samt avgöra utifrån dessa om prestandatestning bör genomföras i ett specifikt projekt.

    Relating Goal Modeling with BPCM Models in a Combined Framework2013In: Computational Science and Its Applications – ICCSA 2013: 13th International Conference, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, June 24-27, 2013, Proceedings, Part III / [ed] Beniamino Murgante, Sanjay Misra, Maurizio Carlini, Carmelo M. Torre, Hong-Quang Nguyen, David Taniar, Bernady O. Apduhan, Osvaldo Gervasi, Springer Berlin/Heidelberg, 2013, p. 33-42Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, the issue of relating goal models with BPCM models in a combined framework is addressed. A business process characterizing model (BPCM) can be seen as a business-oriented model for the use in the early stages of a project, both for traditional development, but also for the development of multi-channel solutions working across a set of contexts. The combined modeling framework consists of goal modeling, process modeling and business process characterizing modeling. The framework is meant to guide both business stakeholders and model developers during modeling-based development. A development methodology to guide the development of goal models in terms of i* from business process characterizing model is proposed. Furthermore, the development methodology is illustrated by an exemplar of call for sponsors case in the field of scientific conference organization.

    The Role of trust with car-sharing services in the sharing economy in China: From the consumers'€™ perspective2017In: Cross-Cultural Design: Proceedings / [ed] Pei-Luen Patrick Rau, Springer Berlin/Heidelberg, 2017, Vol. 10281, p. 634-646Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The development and advancement of ICT enable people to share excess capacity (e.g., car, apartment). In this paper, we focus on Didi Chuxing, which is one of the most prominent examples of car-sharing services in the sharing economy in China. This study aims to investigate the role of trust with car-sharing services in sharing economy from the consumers’ perspective. Based on the literature review, a research model with eight research hypotheses is proposed. The research model is empirically tested with Didi Chuxing by using survey data collected from a sample of 309 subjects. Six research hypotheses are significant supported, while two research hypotheses are rejected in this study. The results indicate that the most important determinant for the consumers’ trust in the car-sharing service platform is platform reputation. In addition, increased degree of the consumers’ familiarity with the car-sharing service platform has a positive impact the consumers’ trust in the car-sharing service platform. However, the perceived car-sharing service platform reputation has a positive impact on the consumers’ trust in drivers on the platform.

    A Combined Framework for Development of Business Process Support Systems2009In: The Practice of Enterprise Modeling: Second IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference, PoEM 2009, Stockholm, Sweden, November 18-19, 2009. Proceedings / [ed] Anne Persson, Janis Stirna, Springer Berlin/Heidelberg, 2009, p. 115-129Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, a combined modeling framework consisting of goal modeling, process modeling and business process characterizing modeling is presented. The framework is made to guide both business experts and model developers during the life cycle of a modeling-based project development. We consider a business process characterizing model (BPCM) as a starting point for developing an IT system. Then, the start of goal models and process models can be derived from a BPCM model. Process models are then used as inputs for deriving a candidate IT system. A development methodology to guide the development of process models from business process characterizing model is proposed. Furthermore, the development methodology is illustrated by an exemplar in the field of scientific conference organization.

    A Meta-model for a Language for Business Process Characterizing Modelling2010In: Enterprise Interoperability IV: Making the Internet of the Future for the Future of Enterprise / [ed] Keith Popplewell, Jenny Harding, Raul Poler, Ricardo Chalmeta, Springer London, 2010, p. 69-79Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, a meta-model for the business process characterizing model (BPCM) is defined. The defined meta-model, mainly capturing the syntax and semantics of the business process charactrizing model, is intended to guide the development of business process support systems. In addition, the relation between the SCOR model and the class process in the BPCM meta-model is addressed. Furthermore, the mapping from the BPCM meta-model to BPMN meta-model in a combined framework for developing business process support systems is depicted.

    A Repository Architecture for Business Process Characterizing Model2010In: The Practice of Enterprise Modeling: Third IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference, PoEM 2010, Delft, The Netherlands, November 9-10, 2010. Proceedings / [ed] Patrick van Bommel, Stijn Hoppenbrouwers, Sietse Overbeek, Erik Proper, Joseph Barjis, Springer Berlin/Heidelberg, 2010, p. 162-176Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, the Business Process Characterizing Model (BPCM) repository architecture is presented. The repository architecture follows a three-layer model composed of a presentation layer, a repository management layer and a storage layer. The objective of the architecture proposed here is to organize BPCM models in a manner that enable their reutilization, and some guidelines on how to use the BPCM repository are provided. Business users are expected to be able to benefit from the advanced functionalities provided by the BPCM repository. Furthermore, based on the evaluation of the BPCM repository by comparing it with some other process repositories, we find that the BPCM repository can offer most features other process repositories are able to provide with the exception of control flow.

    Capturing process knowledge for multi-channel information systems: A case study2012In: International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design, ISSN 1947-8186, E-ISSN 1947-8194, Vol. 3, no 1, p. 78-98Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, a case study is used to evaluate the business process characterizing modeling (BPCM) language. The BPCM-framework is meant to guide both business stakeholders and model developers during model-based development. The focus of the approach is the use of BPCM as a starting point for capturing process knowledge when planning and developing information system support. Based on information within the BPCM models, goal models and process models can be developed and used for further development of the BPCM model. The approach in this paper is evaluated using a case study related to the arrangement of a conference series. Through the case study, the authors have confirmed the potential usability and usefulness of BPCM for early stage knowledge capture, getting input for further improvement of the approach.

    Explaining the Adoption of Mobile Information Services from a Cultural Perspective2011In: Proceedings of the 2011 10th International Conference on Mobile Business, IEEE, 2011, p. 243-252Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Little research has been done to explore the adoption of mobile information services from a cultural perspective. This research is designed to study mobile information services adoption from a cultural perspective. Based on the three cultural dimensions (individualism/collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance), three research hypotheses are presented. To examine these hypotheses, an exploratory study is carried out with a mobile information service called eMSIS with both Norwegian students and Chinese students. Support was found for the three hypotheses. The findings indicate that the cultural dimensions play important roles in how mobile information services are used and adopted in two different cultural settings: the Norwegian culture and the Chinese culture. The results also highlight the relevance of the cultural dimensions (individualism/collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance) as the factors affecting the adoption of mobile information services.

    Facilitating Business Process Development via a Process Characterizing Model2008In: Proceedings of the 2008 International Symposium on Knowledge Acquisition and Modeling, IEEE Computer Society, 2008, p. 239-245Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Since the business environment is getting increasingly dynamic and complex, the relevant process models in the environment are becoming more complicated. This might easily confuse business experts and lead them to misunderstand the models. Business experts are expecting a simple way to communicate and collaborate with the model developers during business process development and use. Today, enterprise modelling is primarily focusing on goal modeling, resource modeling and process modeling. We propose an additional type of model, which is called business process characterizing model. This model can not only facilitate the efficient communication between business experts and model developers, but also offer an opportunity to handle emergent processes and capture dynamic knowledge and variability.

    The importance of context towards mobile services adoption2010In: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Mobile Ubiquitous Computing, Systems, Services and Technologies, International Academy, Research and Industry Association (IARIA), 2010, p. 422-427Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Along with the popularity of mobile devices and advances in wireless technology, mobile services have become more and more prevalent. Although many analysts have predicted that mobile systems will become mainstream, the adoption of mobile services has been slower than expected. The main objective of this research is to study the influence of context on mobile services adoption. The importance of context towards mobile services adoption was explored by looking at two newly developed mobile services. The findings from the exploratory study demonstrate that context is a significant factor to affect people’s adoption of mobile services.
