    Modularity and architecture of PLC-based software for automated production Systems
    (Software Engineering und Software Management 2018, 2018) Vogel-Heuser, Birgit; Fischer, Juliane; Feldmann, Stefan; Ulewicz, Sebastian; Rösch, Susanne; Bougouffa, Safa
    Adaptive and flexible production systems require modular and reusable software, especially considering their long-term life cycle of up to 50 years. We introduce a benchmark process – so-called SWMAT4aPS – to measure software maturity for industrial control software of automated production systems.

    The procurement alignment framework construction and application
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 48, No. 5, 2006) Beukers, Mark; Versendaal, Johan; Batenburg, Ronald; Brinkkemper, Sjaak
    Procurement has become increasingly important for organizations acting in dynamic supply chains and competitive markets. In practice however, companies struggle with adapting and improving their procurement business function. In line with the general trend in management and organization studies, both scholars and practitioners aim to define an integrated procurement policy that is truly aligned on all organizational and IT aspects. The central aim of this paper is to present a framework that supports the definition and application of such an integrative procurement approach. The framework is developed upon insights from IT business alignment (more specifically IT Procurement alignment), procurement maturity measurement and segmentation. It facilitates organizations in monitoring the maturity and alignment of their procurement on five different business/IT perspectives. In addition, the framework enables specific procurement improvements by taking the situational aspect of procurement segmentation into account. The framework was validated twice: through interview expert consulting and through a questionnaire using scale analysis. In a case study it was found suitable for assessing procurement maturity and identifying concrete procurement improvements.

    The State of the Art of Business Process Management Research as Published in the BPM Conference
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 58, No. 1, 2016) Recker, Jan; Mendling, Jan
    The research field of Business Process Management (BPM) has gradually developed as a discipline situated within the computer, management and information systems sciences. Its evolution has been shaped by its own conference series, the BPM conference. Still, as with any other academic discipline, debates accrue and persist, which target the identity as well as the quality and maturity of the BPM field. In this paper, we contribute to the debate on the identity and progress of the BPM conference research community through an analysis of the BPM conference proceedings. We develop an understanding of signs of progress of research presented at this conference, where, how, and why papers in this conference have had an impact, and the most appropriate formats for disseminating influential research in this conference. Based on our findings from this analysis, we provide conclusions about the state of the conference series and develop a set of recommendations to further develop the conference community in terms of research maturity, methodological advance, quality, impact, and progression.
