A UML Extension for the Model-driven Specification of Audit Rules - Hoisl, Bernhard; Strembeck, Mark
In recent years, a number of laws and regulations (such as
the Basel II accord or SOX) demand that organizations record certain
activities or decisions to fulfill legally enforced reporting duties. Most of
these regulations have a direct impact on the information systems that
support an organization's business processes. Therefore, the definition of
audit requirements at the modeling-level is an important prerequisite for
the thorough implementation and enforcement of corresponding policies
in a software system. In this paper, we present a UML extension for the
specification of audit properties. The extension is generic and can be applied
to a wide variety of UML elements. In a model-driven development
(MDD) approach,...

Dimensions and Operationalisations of IT Governance: A Literature Review and Meta-Case Study - Novotny, Alexander; Bernroider, Edward; Koch, Stefan
This paper seeks to tackle the current confusion about the constituent dimensions of IT Governance (ITG) and inconsistent operationalisation approaches inhibiting advances in research and organisational ITG practice. Through a structured literature review of ranked high-quality publications augmented by a meta-case study with five underlying projects, we find nine distinct dimensions of ITG. The input-oriented dimensions Compliance Management, IT Investment Management and ITG Improvement have received little attention in earlier conceptualisations, while the more output-oriented dimensions Business/IT Alignment and Business Value Delivery have featured more often in related studies. Scope and application of ITG may depend on the organisational context...

The economic and environmental performance of distribution networks: A case study from the petrochemical industry - Treitl, Stefan; Jammernegg, Werner
Designing a company's distribution network is a challenging task that requires the consideration of different aspects. In this respect, especially trade-offs between, for example, operational costs and customer service are the focus of the companies' attention. However,
growing concerns of governments and customers about environmental protection have raised awareness towards the environmental impact of operations. Activities associated with the distribution of products, i.e. transportation and warehousing, are not yet subject to strict
environmental regulations, but this situation is expected to change soon. Companies must, therefore, start to concentrate not only on economic but also on environmental aspects in the design of their...

Co-Evolution of Information Revolution and Spread of
Democracy.
33. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik an der Johann Wolfgang
Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main 29.9. - 2.10. 2003 - Frisch, Walter
This is a short summary of a recent survey [FR03] focusing on the observed evidence, that Internet connectivity is positively correlated with spread of democracy at high levels of significance. The results of multivariate correlation analysis and probabilities regression estimate models are based on the combined analysis of mid - 1991's, to 2001 data series of the Eurostat's and US Census
Bureau, the World Bank, and OECD's statistical data service which track the growth of information technology and rating of freedom and democracy worldwide.(author's abstract)

The economic and environmental analysis of a petrochemical distribution network - Treitl, Stefan; Jammernegg, Werner
The structure of a company's distribution network is of vital importance for competitiveness but also involves
considerable costs. In recent years, competitive pressure as well as regulatory measures, especially in the European
Union, have also raised awareness towards the environmental impact of supply chain activities. However, activities associated with the distribution of products are not yet subject to environmental regulations but this might change in the near future. Therefore, companies will have to consider not only economic but also environmental aspects in the design of their supply chains. Based on a case study from the petrochemical industry we present a way to...
