Designing a Digital Platform for Carbon Credit Issuance: Multi-Actor Information System Architecture Design, Facilitating the Issuance of Carbon Credits and Compensation for Clean Cookstove Users

The primary goal of this research is to develop an innovative information system architecture for streamlining the awarding of carbon credits and compensating clean cookstove users. Focusing on Rwandan households transitioning from conventional biomass burners to more efficient cookstoves, the project seeks to promote healthy cooking practices...

Design of architecture principles for a logistics focused, multi-sided data marketplace architecture

In today’s increasingly interconnected and digitized world, the logistics industry plays a critical role in global trade, enabling the seamless movement of goods across essential supply chains (Reinsel et al., 2020). The rapid evolution of digital technologies has led to an unprecedented proliferation of data generated from various aspects of...

A Framework of Design Method Corroboration

Practitioners design artifacts of different kinds. Researchers and practitioners both create methods for designing such artifacts. The question arises whether those methods are actually valid and useful. In this conceptual paper, we argue that there is a need for “method corroboration”-the deliberate and reflected use and possible validation...

The Open Data Canvas-Analyzing Value Creation from Open Data

Expectations to derive value from open data are high. However, how value is created from open data is still largely unknown. Open data value is usually generated in constellation of actors in which each player has different capabilities and roles. To understand the open data value creation process, the business model canvas is introduced in this...

The Maintenance Wheel: Creating a maintenance management framework

In a world where companies rely increasingly on machines and automated production lines to deliver customer value, asset availability is a becoming a larger driver of companies’ productivity and thus performance. In effect, where maintenance was historically perceived as a cost-centre, it is generally treated as a value-adding business element...

Towards Meaningful and Valuable Data Mining Results in Organizations: Developing a framework for data mining that facilitates interaction between decision makers and data scientists to successfully apply data mining in a business context

Data mining is more and more applied in organizations, but often fails to realize its full potential. It delivers too many results, and not all results are useful for the organization. Moreover, by applying DM in organizations, the interface between data mining and decision making has to be crossed. This report presents a framework to apply data...

Mobile Cloud Computing and the Mobile Network Operator: A research project towards viable platform business model design

Simultaneous developments in the mobile telecommunications industry and in cloud computing are providing the opportunities for a mobile cloud computing (MCC) paradigm to emerge. While still in its infancy, a paradigm shift is to be expected that will create a mobile cloud ecosystem with new mobile cloud concepts and service offerings that are...

A Framework for ICT-Supported Coordination in Crisis Response

Crisis response efforts often require coordinating a previously unknown adhocracy of agencies under time pressure. While current technologies that support coordination are successful for well-defined static process descriptions, they may fall short in the face of more complex and unpredictable scenarios, such as a crisis or emergency. Using...
