Organizations exchange data electronically to perform business transactions using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). In order to gain insights on such transactions, approaches for inter-organizational business process mining based on the observation of exchanged EDI messages have been recently proposed. In recent approaches, however, only meta-information about the exchanged messages, such as message type, interchange time and sender/receiver information, has been used as data base for generating event logs. This neglects the opportunity of using business information from observed EDI messages to arrive at more detailed event logs, which in turn enable mining of detailed process models and fine-grained process performance analyses. In addressing this shortcoming, we present EDIminer, a toolset that allows for (i) enhanced visualization of contents of EDI messages, (ii) automatic and/or user-driven definition of mappings of EDI artifacts to events, (iii) generation of events from such mappings, (iv) semi-automatic correlation of events to process instances and (v) generation of industry-standard XES event logs for subsequent application of conventional process mining techniques. We demonstrate the utility of EDIminer by means of an exemplary EDI-based purchase order process based on real-world data.

This technical report presents the work which has been carried out using Distributed Information Retrieval methods for federated search of patent documents for the passage retrieval starting from claims (patentability or novelty search) task. Patent documents produced worldwide have manually-assigned classification codes which in our work are used to cluster, distribute and index patents through hundreds or thousands of sub-collections. For source selection, we tested CORI and a new col-lection selection method, the Multilayer method. We also tested CORI and SSL re-sults merging algorithms. We run experiments using different combinations of the number of collections requested and documents retrieved from each collection. One of the aims of the experiments was to test older DIR methods that characterize differ-ent collections using collection statistics like term frequencies and how they perform in patent search and in suggesting relevant collections. Also to experiment with Multi-layer, a new collection selection method that follows a multilayer, multi-evidence process to suggest collections taking advantage of the special hierarchical classifica-tion of patent documents. We submitted 8 runs. According to PRES @100 our best DIR approach ranked 6th across 21 submitted results.
Despite the advances in development of building performance simulation tools, their potential for performance-guided design has not been sufficiently exploited within the design community. This is in part due to the c...

Inter-organizational relationships (IORs) are important for creating business potential and increasing business performance. The evaluation of IORs is necessary for analyzing the collaboration between businesses as well as for assessing business partners. However, the evaluation of IORs is ambiguous since it is usually measured by success factors, such as trust and information sharing, which are difficult to be measured quantitatively. In this paper, we propose using quantifiable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for measuring success factors. We aim to identify KPIs in inter-organizational scenarios where information is exchanged electronically based on EDIFACT message types. In particular, we i) derive inter-organizational KPIs and propose guidelines for their calculation from EDIFACT data elements, and ii) aggregate these KPIs to define quantitative measurements reflecting inter-organizational success factors. Therefore, we first define a method for the systematic selection of suitable data elements from EDIFACT message types based on frequency analysis. Second, we consider the semantics of data elements and message types in defining KPIs. Having these KPIs at hand supports the quantitative evaluation of success factors which in turn enables the evaluation of IORs.

We are proud to present this special issue of the Elsevier journal Information Security Technical Report, which contains eight of the most outstanding papers of ARES 2012 (7th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security) and co-located workshops held at the University of Economics in Prague, Czech Republic, from 20 to 24 August, 2012. Together, they span the whole gamut of the conference's topics, from access control and privacy to security issues, risk assessment, and digital forensics.

Business document standards usually cover a hierarchical structure of thousands of elements that may be relevant in any business context (any industry, any geopolitical region, etc.). In order to use a business document standard in a specific context, user groups define so-called implementation guidelines based on a subset consisting usually of 3 - 5% of the overall elements. When one defines a new implementation guideline for a specific context, one has always to start from scratch, which is time-consuming and also leads to heterogeneous interpretations of the standard. It is our goal to speed up the development process and to create more homogeneous implementation guidelines by learning from existing models. In the previous phases of our research we have developed the Enhanced Unified Context (E-UCM) model to represent business context. If we could assign instances of this model to already existing business document implementation guidelines, we may guess the subset of a new implementation guideline for a required BC. Accordingly, this paper describes our approach to calculate the content model (subset) of a message implementation guideline which is relevant in a required BC presented by the E-UCM context model.
