    Do process modelling techniques get better? A comparative ontological analysis of BPMN

    No full text
    Current initiatives in the field of Business Process Management (BPM) strive for the development of a BPM standard notation by pushing the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). However, such a proposed standard notation needs to be carefully examined. Ontological analysis is an established theoretical approach to evaluating modelling techniques. This paper reports on the outcomes of an ontological analysis of BPMN and explores identified issues by reporting on interviews conducted with BPMN users in Australia. Complementing this analysis we consolidate our findings with previous ontological analyses of process modelling notations to deliver a comprehensive assessment of BPMN

    Creation, Transfer, and Diffusion of Innovation in Organizations and Society: Information Systems Design Science Research for Human Benefit

    No full text
    International audienceDesign science research is a way of creating and studying new technological phenomena, where the understanding comes from inventing, designing, and building new forms of solutions to problems. It has been touted as a new means for the IS field to improve its relevance as the resulting design artifact(s) can directly be used to solve relevant problems. DSR is different from other types of research in its focus on building artifacts and learning from the use and application of the artifacts. It is different in that it engages reality in a way that no descriptive or observational research method can. DSR shares the iterative process with action research but can take place in a laboratory without any involvement of users as researchers (Iivari and Venable 2009)

    Ipercostruzione di Sé e intimità virale nelle opere di Juno Calypso

    No full text
    Il saggio prende in analisi il caso di Juno Calypso, giovane fotografa britannica specializzata in serie autoritrattistiche. Gli scatti, estremamente omogenei, ricreano un immaginario vintage zuccheroso e barocco abitato dal suo alter ego Joyce, una donna intrappolata in un estenuante processo di femminilizzazione e perfezionamento. Nelle diverse serie analizzate, un ruolo centrale è ricoperto dagli spazi domestici, in particolare camere da letto e bagni, scelti e utilizzati con estrema cura. Attraverso l’obiettivo di Calypso le stanze, dalla casa della nonna alla suite matrimoniale dei Love Hotel fino al bunker del patron dei cosmetici Avon, rivelano la sua natura artificiosa di set ipertrofico che ospita la rigida messa in scena di Sé della donna e allude all’intimità virtuale e posticcia della cultura dei bedroom selfie.The essay examines the case of Juno Calypso, a young British photographer who specializes in self-portrait series. The highly homogeneous shots recreate sugary, baroque vintage imagery inhabited by her alter ego Joyce, a woman trapped in a laborious process of feminization and refinement. In the different series analyzed, domestic spaces, particularly bedrooms and bathrooms, chosen and used with extreme care, are played a central role. Through Calypso's lens, each room, from the grandmother's house to the Love Hotel's bridal suite to the Avon cosmetics patron's bunker, reveals its contrived nature as a hypertrophic set that accommodates the rigid enactment of selves performed by the woman. In her work, she alludes to the virtual, posturing intimacy of bedroom selfie culture

    The Illuminated Lyric of Lafracoth

    No full text
    A medieval historical fiction in dramatic form for older adolescents and adults, this verse play depicts a person of conscience in early 12th century Ireland. This work is intended for late adolescents and adults who have either acquired or are engaged in higher education. The author envisions uses in classrooms, drama and book clubs in which conscience sensitive character analyses and discussions of moral life in and out of religious contexts are deemed worthy of pursuit. The original 2008 version of The Lyric of Lafracoth without illustrations can be found at: https://hdl.handle.net/1805/16779 In this illustrated version, artist Deborah C. Galvin was asked to create five illuminations for the letters P, A, C, E and M which figure prominently in the conflicted story of Lafracoth and her father. Deborah obliged but was not satisfied with just five. Over the two years 2008-2010, she completed sixteen times that many. In 2012, these were exhibited in a crafted parchment paper version of the manuscript at The Helen Beiser MD Art Show during the 59th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in San Francisco and again that same year at the Fourth Annual Indiana University School of Medicine Art Exhibition in Indianapolis
