The scale and pace of crises pose enormous challenges for the crisis management (CM) community, with new threats emerging all the time. An already complex field must strive to integrate new technologies and methods; cope with a rapidly changing infrastructure; understand evolving risks; be effective across cultural, administrative and national boundaries as well as engage with populations to enhance their resilience. In this context, crisis management innovation must be capable of meeting... mehr

Machine learning techniques aim at extracting knowledge in an automatic manner and have been identified as one of the key drivers for future discoveries and innovation in in this field. Processing and analyzing the massive amounts of data can, however, still become extremely challenging from a computational perspective. The presentation will cover some of our current research activities that are related to this line of research. In particular, I will sketch the potential of modern deep... mehr

The first Lunchtime-Seminar in 2021 will be about “Process Science”. Process science, as introduced in a keynote at the BPM 2020 Conference in Sevilla for the first time, is an exciting new field of science, which is about the interdisciplinary study of processes aiming to understand, influence and design the evolvement of processes. The talk explains why it is timely and important to establish process science as an individual field. Also, a theoretical foundation for process science is... mehr

Supply chain security deals with the protection of supply chain assets (people, equipment, facilities etc.) against threats from theft, smuggling and sabotage. That comprises management and design activities in order to ensure an effective integration of security into the organization’s landscape. This talk presents a security-enhanced business process modelling notation based on BPMN that supports the explicit modelling and evaluation of security elements.
