- Compact city planning and development has, over the last 30 years or so, been the hegemonic response to the challenges of sustainable development. Global and local policies promote the compact city model due to the positive outcomes of its design principles and strategics as to achieving sustainable cities in terms of their environmental, economic, and social goals. The aim of this paper is to examine how the compact city model is practiced and justified in urban planning and development with respect to the three dimensions of sustainability, and whether any kind of practical progress has been made in this regard. To illuminate the phenomenon of the compact city, a descriptive case study is adopted as a qualitative research methodology where the empirical basis is mainly formed by urban plans in two Swedish cities: Gothenburg and Helsingborg, in combination with qualitative interview data, secondary data, and scientific literature. This study shows that compactness, density, diversity, mixed land use, sustainable transportation, and green space are the prevalent design principles and strategies of compact city planning and development, with the latter being contextually linked to the concept of green structure, an institutional setup under which the two Swedish cities operate. Moreover, at the core of the compact city model is the clear synergy between the underlying principles and strategies in terms of their cooperation to produce combined effects greater than the sum of their separate effects with respect to the benefits of sustainability as regards its tripartite value. Further, this study demonstrates that the compact city model as practiced by the two cities is justified by its ability to contribute to the environmental, economic, and social goals of sustainable development. However, the economic goals dominate over the environmental and social goals, notwithstanding the claim about the three dimensions of sustainability being equally important at the discursive level. Nevertheless, new planning measures are being implemented to address the relevant environmental and social issues towards balancing the three goals of sustainability and thus strengthening their influence over urban development practices.

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS 2014) and the 19th International Conference on Exploring Modeling Methods for Systems Analysis and Design (EMMSAD 2014), held together with the 26th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE 2014) in Thessaloniki, Greece, in June 2014.The 20 full papers accepted for BPMDS were selected from 48 submissions and cover a wide spectrum of issues related to business process development, modeling, and support. They are grouped into topical sections on business process modeling as a human-driven process, representing the human perspective of business processes, supporting humans in business processes, variability-enabling process models, various models for various process perspectives, and BPMDS in practice.The ten full and three short papers accepted for EMMSAD were chosen from 27 submissions and focus on exploring, evaluating, and enhancing modeling methods and methodologies for the analysis and design of information systems, enterprises, and business processes. They are grouped into sections on conceptual modeling, requirements modeling, business process modeling, goal and language action modeling, enterprise and business modeling, and new approaches.

A Combined Framework for Development of Business Process Support Systems
- 2009

Ingår i: The Practice of Enterprise Modeling. - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin/Heidelberg. - 9783642053528 - 9783642053511 ; , s. 115-129

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, a combined modeling framework consisting of goal modeling, process modeling and business process characterizing modeling is presented. The framework is made to guide both business experts and model developers during the life cycle of a modeling-based project development. We consider a business process characterizing model (BPCM) as a starting point for developing an IT system. Then, the start of goal models and process models can be derived from a BPCM model. Process models are then used as inputs for deriving a candidate IT system. A development methodology to guide the development of process models from business process characterizing model is proposed. Furthermore, the development methodology is illustrated by an exemplar in the field of scientific conference organization.

A Meta-model for a Language for Business Process Characterizing Modelling

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, a meta-model for the business process characterizing model (BPCM) is defined. The defined meta-model, mainly capturing the syntax and semantics of the business process charactrizing model, is intended to guide the development of business process support systems. In addition, the relation between the SCOR model and the class process in the BPCM meta-model is addressed. Furthermore, the mapping from the BPCM meta-model to BPMN meta-model in a combined framework for developing business process support systems is depicted.

A mobile service using anonymous location-based data : finding reading rooms
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose:€“ The purpose of this paper is to develop a mobile service, based on anonymous location-based data, to help students find available reading rooms on a university campus. To evaluate this mobile service, both a usability test and a technology acceptance test were carried out.Design/methodology/approach:€“ The research followed a design science approach, including developing a prototype and evaluating the developed prototype.Findings:€“ The results from the usability test indicated good usability of the developed mobile service. The results from the technology acceptance test demonstrated students’ intention to use this mobile service. Most respondents indicated that they would like to use this mobile service to find available reading rooms when they are on campus.Research limitations/implications:€“ The results imply that there are other contexts where anonymous location-based data are also useful. A similar mobile service can be developed for other contexts, such as, hospital complexes, shopping malls, and airports.Originality/value:€“ To the authors best knowledge, the authors have not found any mobile services aiming at counting the density of people residing in a room by using anonymous user location-based data on a university campus. This research fills this gap by developing the mobile service, called finding reading rooms.

A Repository Architecture for Business Process Characterizing Model
- 2010
-
Ingår i: The Practice of Enterprise Modeling. - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin/Heidelberg. - 9783642167829 - 9783642167812 ; , s. 162-176

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, the Business Process Characterizing Model (BPCM) repository architecture is presented. The repository architecture follows a three-layer model composed of a presentation layer, a repository management layer and a storage layer. The objective of the architecture proposed here is to organize BPCM models in a manner that enable their reutilization, and some guidelines on how to use the BPCM repository are provided. Business users are expected to be able to benefit from the advanced functionalities provided by the BPCM repository. Furthermore, based on the evaluation of the BPCM repository by comparing it with some other process repositories, we find that the BPCM repository can offer most features other process repositories are able to provide with the exception of control flow.
