Long description: Events are an essential element of society. Advancing digital technologies and the ongoing globalization has put forward a variety of different business, leisure, or scientific events that need to be managed in order to take place. As a result of the proliferation of digital technology, IT systems are an indispensable part of this management process. Amid this pandemic crisis, these systems have become increasingly important due to the relocation of events into the virtual sphere. Since every event entails different requirements, event management systems need to be very flexible. In contrast to other application systems, this flexibility is needed during use as the requirements of future events are not known during the initial selection and roll-out of the software. This calls for an intensified dialogue between the business and IT to match technical possibilities with practical requirements. Currently, adequate means to support this dialogue are lacking. To this end, this dissertation presents a reference model that encompasses the essential processes and data structures in the domain. In 36 application cases, the reference model is instantiated and evaluated. Practitioners and researchers are the intended audiences of this work. Researchers may use it as a foundation to design novel IT artifacts in the domain. Practitioners benefit from the first comprehensive tool to support the design and use of digital technology in event management.

Due to the increasing importance of the e-Commerce in our society, the bpost company is concerned about the necessity to implement a shared vision about their accounting processes. The strategic will of the company is to expend its activities. Besides the Universal Postal Services, bpost wants to improve its position on the delivery services and especially those related to online sales.

In order to propose a solution, a structured document is produced in order to guide the development of new platforms. It focuses mainly on the promotion of the accounting aspects but aims to integrate a multi-disciplinary vision in the company. The document is oriented by the phases of the operating process: Payment system, Invoicing and Reconciliation. 

The methodology for this project was inspired by the steps of the process modeling: Information Gathering, Analysis, Creation, Implementation and follow-up. 

The main document produced is supported by different supplements. The elaboration of an R.A.C.I. Matrix in order to help defining the roles and responsibilities of the departments involved in the launch of a new platform and the modeling of the process in order to provide the information in a more imaged and clear view 

The approach proposed allowed to notice some weak points in the process of the company but also to reposition some aspects that were not involved at the right time in the launch. It also allow to align the company with the latest regulations impacting the subject (GDPR – PSD2)

This process is giving bpost the basis for the sharing of the knowledge for the future harmonization and the understanding of future projects that will be launched in order to guide the company in the completion of its new strategy.

This Open Access book explores the dilemma-like stalemate between security and regulatory compliance in business processes on the one hand and business continuity and governance on the other. The growing number of regulations, e.g., on information security, data protection, or privacy, implemented in increasingly digitized businesses can have an obstructive effect on the automated execution of business processes. Such security-related obstructions can particularly occur when an access control-based implementation of regulations blocks the execution of business processes. By handling obstructions, security in business processes is supposed to be improved.

This reprint of “Metal Nanoparticles as Catalysts for Green Applications” collects recent works of researchers on metal nanoparticles as catalysts for green applications. All works deal with designing chemical products and processes that generate and use less (or preferably no) hazardous substances by applying the principles of green chemistry. Despite the interdisciplinary nature of the different applications involved, ranging from pure chemistry to material science, from chemical engineering to physical chemistry, in this reprint there are common characteristics connecting the areas together, and they can be described by two words: sustainability and catalysis.

Technology: general issues --- acetylene hydrogenation --- kinetic model --- catalyst decay --- process modeling --- Al2O3 --- bimetallic catalyst --- syngas --- methane --- partial oxidation --- ZrO2 --- metal–organic framework --- bimetallic metal–organic frameworks --- decarboxylative amidation --- polymeric catalytic membranes --- electrospinning --- HMF oxidation --- glucose --- biochemicals --- MCM-41 --- bimetallic --- reactivity --- product selectivity --- neem --- mint --- nZVI synthesis --- lead --- nickel --- soil remediation --- ethanol steam reforming --- Ni/CeO2 --- microemulsion --- coke resistance --- lanthanum doping --- hydrodeoxygenation --- guaiacol --- regeneration --- catalyst deactivation --- n/a --- metal-organic framework --- bimetallic metal-organic frameworks
