The corporate landscape is experiencing an increasing change in business models due to digitization. An increasing availability of data along the business processes enhance the opportunities for process automation. Technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) are widely used for business process optimization, but as a side effect an increase in stand-alone solutions and a lack of holistic approaches can be observed. Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) is said to support more complex processes and enable automated decision-making, but due to the lack of connectors makes the implementation difficult. RPA marketplaces can be a bridging technology to help companies implement Intelligent Process Automation. This paper explores the drivers and challenges for the adoption of RPA marketplaces to realize IPA. For this purpose, we conducted ten expert interviews with decision makers and IT staff from the process automation sector.
Trust-Building in Peer-to-Peer Carsharing: Design Case Study for Algorithm-Based Reputation Systems
(2023)
Peer-to-peer sharing platforms become increasingly important in the platform economy. From an HCI-perspective, this development is of high interest, as those platforms mediate between different users. Such mediation entails dealing with various social issues, e.g., building trust between peers online without any physical presence. Peer ratings have proven to be an important mechanism in this regard. At the same time, scoring via car telematics become more common for risk assessment by car insurances. Since user ratings face crucial problems such as fake or biased ratings, we conducted a design case study to determine whether algorithm-based scoring has the potential to improve trust-building in P2P-carsharing. We started with 16 problem-centered interviews to examine how people understand algorithm-based scoring, we co-designed an app with scored profiles, and finally evaluated it with 12 participants. Our findings show that scoring systems can support trust-building in P2P-carsharing and give insights how they should be designed.
Dynamic Programming

Bedingt durch die fortlaufende Digitalisierung und den Big Data-Trend stehen immer mehr Daten zur Verfügung. Daraus resultieren viele Potenziale – gerade für Unternehmen. Die Fähigkeit zur Bewältigung und Auswertung dieser Daten schlägt sich in der Rolle des Data Scientist nieder, welcher aktuell einer der gefragtesten Berufe ist. Allerdings ist die Integration von Daten in Unternehmensstrategie und -kultur eine große Herausforderung. So müssen komplexe Daten und Analyseergebnisse auch nicht datenaffinen Stakeholdern kommuniziert werden. Hier kommt dem Data Storytelling eine entscheidende Rolle zu, denn um mit Daten eine Veränderung hervorrufen zu können, müssen vorerst Verständnis und Motivation für den Sachverhalt zielgruppenspezifisch geschaffen werden. Allerdings handelt es sich bei Data Storytelling noch um ein Nischenthema. Diese Arbeit leitet mithilfe einer systematischen Literaturanalyse die Erfolgsfaktoren von Data Storytelling für eine effektive und effiziente Kommunikation von Daten her, um Data Scientists in Forschung und Praxis bei der Kommunikation der Daten und Ergebnisse zu unterstützen.
Due to ongoing digitalization, more and more cloud services are finding their way into companies. In this context, data integration from the various software solutions, which are provided both on-premise (local use or licensing for local use of software) and as a service, is of great importance. In this regard, Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS) models aim to support companies as well as software providers in the context of data integration by providing connectors to enable data flow between different applications and systems and other integration services. Since previous research has mostly focused on technical or legal aspects of IPaaS, this article focuses on deriving integration practices and design-related barriers and drivers regarding the adoption of IPaaS. Therefore, we conducted 10 interviews with experts from different software as a services vendors. Our results show that the main factors regarding the adoption of IPaaS are the standardization of data models, the usability and variety of connectors provided, and the issues regarding data privacy, security, and transparency.
Data emerged as a central success factor for companies to benefit from digitization. However, the skills in successfully creating value from data – especially at the management level – are not always profound. To address this problem, several canvas models have already been designed. Canvas models are usually created to write down an idea in a structured way to promote transparency and traceability. However, some existing data science canvas models mainly address developers and are thus unsuitable for decision-makers and communication within interdisciplinary teams. Based on a literature review, we identified influencing factors that are essential for the success of data science projects. With the information gained, the Data Science Canvas was developed in an expert workshop and finally evaluated by practitioners to find out whether such an instrument could support data-driven value creation.
In the course of growing online retailing, recommendation systems have become established that derive recommendations from customers’ purchase histories. Recommending suitable food products can represent a lucrative added value for food retailers, but at the same time challenges them to make good predictions for repeated food purchases. Repeat purchase recommendations have been little explored in the literature. These predict when a product will be purchased again by a customer. This is especially important for food recommendations, since it is not the frequency of the same item in the shopping basket that is relevant for determining repeat purchase intervals, but rather their difference over time. In this paper, in addition to critically reflecting classical recommendation systems on the underlying repeat purchase context, two models for online product recommendations are derived from the literature, validated and discussed for the food context using real transaction data of a German stationary food retailer.
Sequencing Problems
(2024)
This article describes an approach to rapidly prototype the parameters of a Java application run on the IBM J9 Virtual Machine in order to improve its performance. It works by analyzing VM output and searching for behavioral patterns. These patterns are matched against a list of known patterns for which rules exist that specify how to adapt the VM to a given application. Adapting the application is done by adding parameters and changing existing ones. The process is fully automated and carried out by a toolkit. The toolkit iteratively cycles through multiple possible parameter sets, benchmarks them and proposes the best alternative to the user. The user can, without any prior knowledge about the Java application or the VM improve the performance of the deployed application and quickly cycle through a multitude of different settings to benchmark them. When tested with the representative benchmarks, improvements of up to 150% were achieved.
Improving the Performance of Parallel SpMV Operations on NUMA Systems with Adaptive Load Balancing
(2018)
For a parallel Sparse Matrix Vector Multiply (SpMV) on a multiprocessor, rather simple and efficient work distributions often produce good results. In cases where this is not true, adaptive load balancing can improve the balance and performance. This paper introduces a low overhead framework for adaptive load balancing of parallel SpMV operations. It uses statistical filters to gather relevant runtime performance data and detects an imbalance situation. Three different algorithms were compared that adaptively balance the load with high quality and low overhead. Results show that for sparse matrices, where the adaptive load balancing was enabled, an average speedup of 1.15 (regarding the total execution time) could be achieved with our best algorithm over 4 different matrix formats and two different NUMA systems.
