Künstliche Intelligenz und internationales Recht

Künstliche Intelligenz wirft grundlegende Fragen für das Recht auf. In diesem Artikel werden diese Fragen in Form von Thesen auf das internationale Recht gemünzt und versuchsweise beantwortet. Es zeigt sich, dass das internationale Recht nicht nur herausgefordert wird, sondern auch viel zur Steuerung von künstlicher Intelligenz beitragen kann.     

Qualit?tsmerkmale, -metriken und -messverfahren für Gesch?ftsprozessmodelle

The availability of high-quality business process models is a central prerequisite for a successful process management. Nevertheless, in practice process models exhibit a large number of quality deficits, among them grammatical, content-related, and stylistic defects. In addition, there exist only very few approaches to determine the quality of business process models. In this paper, we present the 3QM-Framework, an analytical approach to systematically determine the quality of business process models. The 3QM-Framework makes three contributions: it provides quality marks, metrics, and measurement procedures to quantify the quality level as elements of a theoretically justified quality model. The applicability of the 3QM-Framework has been empirically evaluated in case studies. The results of a survey that was conducted among experts moreover attest its practical relevance.     

Fusionen und Unternehmensübernahmen in der Softwareindustrie

This paper analyzes approaches investigating success drivers of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the software industry. The literature review covers a classification of research papers in the generic and software industry specific M&A research discipline. The results accentuate that the impact of success factors depends on the research context and that many factors have not been examined so far with respect to the software industry. Building on these insights, the resulting areas for research are pointed out. The investigation of software industry specific factors, in particular, promises to contribute to the analysis of variance in M&A performance.
