This book presents the latest trends in scientific methods and enabling technologies to advance e-business. It consists of selected high-quality papers from the 16th International Conference on E-Business Engineering (ICEBE 2019), held in Shanghai, China, on 11–13 October 2019. ICEBE is a leading international forum for researchers, engineers, and business specialists to exchange cutting-edge ideas, findings, and experiences in the field of e-business. The book covers a range of topics, including agents for e-business, big data for e-business, Internet of Things, mobile and autonomous computing, security/privacy/trust, service-oriented and cloud computing, software engineering, blockchain, and industry applications.

This book presents a collection of state-of-the-art research findings on the digital transformation of financial services. Digitalization has fundamentally changed financial services and has a tendency to reshape the landscape of the financial industry in an unprecedented manner. Over the last ten years, the development of new financial technologies has contributed to the creation of new business and organizational models, along with new approaches to service delivery. By encompassing significant conceptual contributions, innovations in methods and techniques, and by delineating the main applications of digital transformation in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the volume extends current knowledge on digital transformation in the financial industry. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a social-science perspective on digital transformation in the financial industry. The second part provides the most recent evidence on how financial technologies are transforming financial services on the markets, and how the adoption of modern information technologies fosters setting up new financial services. Further, this part outlines new approaches to digital transformation in the financial industry. This book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of finance, monetary economics, and business, as well as practitioners interested in a better understanding of the digital transformation of financial services, new financial technologies, and innovations in finance.

Provides detailed methodology for digitizing project knowledge by bridging the gap between Waterfall and Agile Methodologies.

This is the first handbook to cover comprehensively both software engineering and knowledge engineering -- two important fields that have become interwoven in recent years. Over 60 international experts have contributed to the book. Each chapter has been written in such a way that a practitioner of software engineering and knowledge engineering can easily understand and obtain useful information. Each chapter covers one topic and can be read independently of other chapters, providing both a general survey of the topic and an in-depth exposition of the state of the art. Practitioners will find this handbook useful when looking for solutions to practical problems. Researchers can use it for quick access to the background, current trends and most important references regarding a certain topic.The handbook consists of two volumes. Volume One covers the basic principles and applications of software engineering and knowledge engineering.Volume Two will cover the basic principles and applications of visual and multimedia software engineering, knowledge engineering, data mining for software knowledge, and emerging topics in software engineering and knowledge engineering.

In an era marked by relentless digital disruption, where every interaction - whether it's a click, a tap, or a swipe - shapes the structure of our interconnected world, the need for transformative action becomes notably clear. This collection brings together a dynamic compilation of insights, carefully selected from leading experts in the field, ready to navigate the uncharted waters of this digital revolution. The collection comprises submissions from two ISPIM (International Society for Professional Innovation Management) events, along with additional contributions. It offers an extensive view that encompasses the various challenges and opportunities brought about by the tumultuous waves of digital disruption and transformation, spanning a wide range of aspects in contemporary business and society. The primary aim of this collection is to emphasize the idea that the emerging global digital economy urgently requires a comprehensive perspective on digitalization, making it central for all institutions. Contributions in this collection shed light on important subjects, including, but not limited to, The Evolution of Digital Transformation, Skills and Knowledge Requirements in the Era of Digital Transformations, and Data-Driven Foresight. Within the boundaries of this scholarly endeavor, a deep understanding of the intricate network of digitalization and its consequences is nurtured. As the relentless surge of digitalization continues, this collection serves as an invaluable guide for discerning scholars and practitioners alike, inviting them to navigate this transformative period with wisdom and expertise. .
