Andreas Rausch
- Mit dem steigenden Interesse an informellen Lernprozessen am Arbeitsplatz stieg in
den vergangenen Jahren auch die Anzahl von Fragebogeninstrumenten zur Erfassung
von Erleben- und Lernpotenzialen in der Arbeit. Trotz methodologischer Einschränkungen
ist die retrospektive Selbstauskunft mittels Fragebogen nach wie vor
der populärste empirische Zugang. Einflussfaktoren des Erlebens- und Lernpotenzials
werden in der Regel auf Aufgabenmerkmale sowie auf Interaktionsqualitäten zurückgeführt.
Im vorliegenden Manual wird der Fragebogen zur Erfassung erlebensund
lernförderlicher Merkmale der Arbeitsaufgaben (ELMA) vorgestellt. Das Instrument
basiert auf einer Zusammenstellung von Skalen vorliegender Instrumente, Weiterentwicklungen
dieser Skalen und Neukonstruktionen durch den Autor.

Betsy - A BPEL Engine Test System
(2012)
-

- More than five years have passed since the final release of the long-desired OASIS standard of a process language for web service orchestration, the Web Services Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). The aim of this standard is to establish a universally accepted orchestration language that forms a core part of current service-oriented architectures and, because of standardisation, avoids vendor lock-in. High expectations, in academia and practice alike, have been set on it. By now, several fully conformant and highly scalable engines should have arrived in the market. The perception of many however, is that standard conformance in current engines is far from given. It is our aim to shed light on this situation. In this study, we present the tool betsy, a BPEL Engine Test System that allows for a fully-automatic assessment of the standard conformance of a given BPEL engine. We use it to examine the five most important open source BPEL engines available today. Betsy comes with a large set of engineindependent conformance test cases for assessing BPEL standard conformance. This enables us to give a view of the state of the art in BPEL support.

- This paper is concerned with the challenges arising from the development of a groupware requirement specification for effective and efficient achievement of operative and strategic objectives in mass production industry. To analyze the process by which objectives are achieved, a systematical investigation using document analysis, participant observation, interviews and context scenario analysis was undertaken at a large manufacturing location with over 6 000 coworkers of a multinational automobile supplying company. The results of this in-depth analysis of objective achievement were utilized to develop a detailed requirement specification for a management by objectives groupware for use in mass production industry.

A Pattern-based Analysis of WS-BPEL and Windows Workflow
(2011)
-
Jörg Lenhard
- Orchestration languages are of paramount importance for building composite services in service-oriented architectures. Pattern-based analysis is a method that allows to determine the expressiveness of existing process languages and serves as a means of comparison between different languages. The aim of this study is the analysis and comparison of important languages for building Web Services-based orchestrations, as well as the improvement of the method of pattern-based analysis. The predominant orchestration language today is the Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) 2.0. This language is a standard that has been implemented by several companies and projects, such as the OpenESB BPEL Service Engine. An additional language is Windows Workflow 4 that is shipped by Microsoft as part of the .NET framework. There are various aspects, represented by pattern catalogs, for which existing languages can be analyzed. This study suggests a methodology for ordering existing pattern catalogs according to their importance for a selected problem domain which is Business-to-Business Integration. It furthermore presents an extensive evaluation of the languages at hand and assesses the degree of support they provide for several of the most important pattern catalogs. These catalogs are the workflow control-flow patterns, the service interaction patterns, the change patterns and the time patterns.

ENTWICKLUNG – PROFILIERUNG – WACHSTUM. Die Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg von 2000 bis 2010
(2011)
- Die Universität veröffentlicht jährlich einen Rechenschaftsbericht, in dem sie Auskunft gibt über die wichtigsten Ereignisse und Neuerungen des betreffenden Haushaltsjahres. Doch was sich in einem längeren Zeitraum an größeren Entwicklungen und übergeordneten Veränderungen ereignet hat, wird darin in der Regel nur andeutungsweise sichtbar. Die Idee hinter der hier vorgelegten Publikation, die den Zeitraum seit dem Jahr 2000 abdeckt, ist daher eher die eines Entwicklungsberichts. Anstelle einzelner Kennzahlen möchten wir die großen Entwicklungslinien nachzeichnen, entlang derer jene Prozesse abgelaufen sind, die zunächst ganz abstrakt beschrieben werden können als Fokussierung, Optimierung, Konzentration und Internationalisierung.

Analyzing the Interoperability of WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging Implementations
(2010)

- Since their invention as lightweight integration technology about a decade ago, Web Services have matured significantly. Today, major middleware solution vendors as well as industry communities like RosettaNet are propagating Web services even for exchanging business-critical data and implementing inter-organizational business processes. Core enablers for using Web services in this domain are stateful interactions using the Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) as well as advanced communication features like security and reliability using the WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging standard specifications. However, advanced communication features come at the price of complexity which challenges interoperability across different Web services stack implementations. Interoperability, in turn, is a predominant requirement for an integration technology such as Web services, in particular if inter-organizational business processes are supposed to be implemented on top of that technology. This paper approaches the problem of testing the interoperability of the so-called WS-* standards, advanced Web services communication features that are typically defined as SOAP extensions and configured using WS-Policy. Being essential to business process integration, WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging are selected as representatives of this group and the two major Java-based Web services stack implementations Metro and Axis2 are tested for interoperability. We operationalize the notion of interoperability for testing WS-* standards, suppose an approach for deriving test cases from WS-* specifications as well as a method for performing the test cases, and we provide a comprehensive interoperability review of the two selected Web services stack implementations.

Proaktives Problem Management durch Eventkorrelation - ein Best Practice Ansatz
(2010)

- Im Servicegeschäft werden Eventkorrelationssysteme verwendet, um bevorstehende Systemzustände vorherzusagen und damit Anlagenausfälle zu vermeiden. Aus strategischer Sicht kann dies zu höherer Anlagenverfügbarkeit und bessere Planbarkeit beitragen. Unternehmen, die von diesem Wettbewerbsvorteil profitieren wollen, begegnen dabei häufig zwei grundlegenden Problemen: die Komplexität im Service steigt mit der Anzahl der Korrelationen. Gleichzeitig geht die Kostentransparenz für den Gesamtprozess verloren. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, warum diese beiden Probleme entstehen und wie sie weitgehend vermieden werden können.

- Ever fiercer competition has forced enterprises not only to optimize their own operations but also to cooperate with their suppliers and customers along their supply chains. Thus, competition today usually takes place between supply chains and not between individual enterprises. Business-To-Business integration (B2Bi) is a major task of supply chain management (SCM), and although it already has been researched for years, B2Bi is still an area of active research with a plethora of research questions and according approaches. Hence, management of B2Bi projects necessitates the identification of relevant requirements which is a far from trivial task. This paper identifies a core set of B2Bi challenges and deduces a comprehensive set of B2Bi requirements that are particularly useful for tackling the challenges identified. The derivation of B2Bi requirements follows an inductive approach that is based on the analysis of integration standards, reference architectures and related literature. In order to operationalize the B2Bi requirements for further analysis and concrete B2Bi projects, the requirements are classified according to the abstraction layers of a B2Bi schema. Thus, this report not only offers a requirements check list for B2Bi projects but also helps in deciding when to address which requirements during the course of a B2Bi project.

Improving the Tor Hidden Service Protocol Aiming at Better Performances
(2008)
-
Christian Wilms
- Offering services anonymously on the Internet using so-called location-hidden services requires complex protocols with many different nodes involved. These properties result in performance problems, e.g. a simple website request taking tens of seconds. This work describes a setup to measure the performance of hidden services using the worldwide Tor network. It analyzes the results and proposes changes to the protocol to improve the performance without losing anonymity.
