Key topics - Setting Up an SAP Workflow - Agent Assignment - Workflow Administration - Creating a Workflow - E-Process Interfaces - Using Forms - Custom Programs Über den Autor Alan Rickayzen is the WebFlow Product Manager. He has been with SAP since 1992 and in data processing since 1988. In 1995 he joined the SAP Business Workflow group performing development work as well as consulting for various major US customers. During this time he amassed a good technical knowledge of the product before moving in 1998 to workflow product management. He is the principal liaison for the SAP workflow user groups through which he has a good insight into the project factors and WebFlow features that make a customer implementation a success. He writes regularly for SAP Insider and other journals. Alan Rickayzen graduated from Kings College, London with a BSc in physics. Jocelyn Dart is a Senior Product Consultant specializing in Enterprise Buyer Professional (EBP) and Workflow. She has been involved with SAP products since 1990, and has been in data processing far longer than she wants to admit. In 1994, she joined SAP Australia as a help desk support consultant. Later she became an SAP instructor giving courses in ABAP, Internet Transaction Server, Workflow and EBP. Explaining and demonstrating workflow to students, and generally tinkering around, has given her a unique appreciation of the breadth and depth of the WebFlow Engine. She is currently in Professional Services, performing development work at and advising various major Australian and New Zealand customers. She is acknowledged as a regional expert in both Workflow and EBP development, and is frequently called upon to assist international consultants with EBP and Workflow issues. Jocelyn Dart has a B.App.Sc.(Computing Science) from the University of Technology, Sydney. Dr. Carsten Brennecke has been involved in Workflow Management since 1995. In 1998 he joined SAP AG to work in workflow development. Carsten Brennecke is responsible for workflow documentation and he is directly involved in the planning and development of the WebFlow Engine. In addition, he takes an active role in the development WebFlow training and on occasion delivers training courses himself. Markus Schneider has an MA in linguistics from Aachen Technical University.

The Journals of the Century project gathered some of America's top subject expert librarians to determine the most influential journals in their respective fields. Thirty-two contributing authors-led by Editor Tony Stankus-reviewed journals from over 20 countries that have successfully shaped the evolution of their individual specialties worldwide. Their choices reflect the history of each discipline or profession, taking into account rivalries between universities, professional societies, for-profit and not-for-profit publishers, and even nation-states and international ideologies, in each journal's quest for reputational dominance. Each journal was judged using criteria such as longevity of publication, foresight in carving out its niche, ability to attract & sustain professional or academic affiliations, opinion leadership or agenda-setting power, and ongoing criticality to the study or practice of their field. Journals of the Century presents wholly independent reviewers; none are in the employ of any publisher, but each is fully credentialed and well published, and many are award-winners. The authors guide college and professional school librarians on limited budgets via an exposition of their analytical and critical winnowing process in determining the classic resources for their faculty, students, and working professional clientele. The chapters are logically grouped together in six clusters that reflect the commonly shared interests of library liaisons and the range of like-minded academic departments they typically serve. These clusters include: The Helping Professionals (chapters on social work, education, psychology, sociology, and library and information sciences) Music, Museums, and Methodists (chapters on visual arts, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, and the American religious experience) Business and Law (chapters on business and economics, plus legal literature) War and Peace (chapters on modern history, political science and international relations, and military affairs) Physical Sciences and Engineering (chapters on mathematics and the physical sciences as well as engineering and computer science) Life, Health, and Agriculture (chapters on medicine and surgery, pharmacy, physical therapy and nutrition, agriculture, and veterinary medicine) Journals of the Century answers questions such as: Which university press leads in high-ranking titles in the helping professions? In what crime-fighting journal, ironically mentioned within the Music, Museums, and Methodists cluster, do anthropologists routinely publish? What two journals cover the biggest yearly expense of most working Americans and rankly highly within both chapters of the Business and Law cluster? What family of British publications has remained indispensable reading for political and military readers for over a century in the War and Peace Cluster? What society in the Physical Sciences and Engineering cluster publishes more journals than any other publisher in this book, covering topics from light bulbs and computers to MRIs and windmills? What one-word-titled journal has joined the venerable pair of Nature and Science as the most important reporters of world-class breakthroughs in basic biomedical science? and many, many more! Journals of the Century includes extensive commentaries on each cluster by the editor, with graphical representations by world regions and publishing sectors contributing to each chapter. ISSN numbers for print editions, and URL addresses for online editions are provided in a comprehensive title index. This unique book is an essential resource for serials librarians in academia, new reference librarians familiarizing themselves with classic titles, and collection evaluators and college accreditation examiners., 6, Baltimore, MD: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007.

From Wikipedia: "Joshua M. Epstein, Ph.D., is Professor of Emergency Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, with joint appointments in the departments of Applied Mathematics, Economics, Biostatistics, International Health, and Environmental Health Sciences and the Director of the JHU Center for Advanced Modeling in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences. He is an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, and was recently appointed to the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Identifying and Prioritizing New Preventive Vaccines. Epstein was born in New York City and grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts. He received a B.A. at Amherst College in 1976 and earned his Ph.D. from MIT in 1981. Early in his career, Epstein was Senior Fellow in Economic Studies and Director of the Center on Social and Economic Dynamics at the Brookings Institution. He is a pioneer in agent-based computational modeling of biomedical and social dynamics. He has authored or co-authored several books, including Growing Artificial Societies: Social Science from the Bottom Up, with Robert Axtell (MIT Press/Brookings Institution); Nonlinear Dynamics, Mathematical Biology, and Social Science (Addison-Wesley), and Generative Social Science: Studies in Agent-Based Computational Modeling (Princeton University Press). In 2008, he received an NIH Director's Pioneer Award, and in 2010 an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Amherst College. In Growing Artificial Societies: Social Science From the Bottom Up, Epstein and Axtell developed the first large scale agent-based computational model, the Sugarscape, to explore the role of social phenomenon such as seasonal migrations, pollution, sexual reproduction, combat, and transmission of disease and even culture. He has published widely in the modeling area, including recent articles on the dynamics of civil violence, the demography of the Anasazi (both in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) and the epidemiology of smallpox (in the American Journal of Epidemiology). In his latest book Generative Social Science: Studies in Agent-Based Computational Modeling he explores the role of agent based models in the generative sciences. From 1987 to 2010, Epstein was a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and served as the director of the Center on Social and Economic Dynamics He has taught computational and mathematical modeling at Princeton University and the Santa Fe Institute Summer School.

The most powerful weapon in business today is the alliance between the mathematical smarts of machines and the imaginative human intellect of great leaders. Together they make the mathematical corporation, the business model of the future. We are at a once-in-a-decade breaking point similar to the quality revolution of the 1980s and the dawn of the internet age in the 1990s: leaders must transform how they run their organizations, or competitors will bring them crashing to earth--often overnight. Mathematical corporations--the organizations that will master the future--will outcompete high-flying rivals by merging the best of human ingenuity with machine intelligence. While smart machines are weapon number one for organizations, leaders are still the drivers of breakthroughs. Only they can ask crucial questions to capitalize on business opportunities newly discovered in oceans of data. This dynamic combination will make possible the fulfillment of missions that once seemed out of reach, even impossible to attain. Josh Sullivan and Angela Zutavern's extraordinary examples include the entrepreneur who upended preventive health care, the oceanographer who transformed fisheries management, and the pharmaceutical company that used algorithm-driven optimization to boost vaccine yields. Together they offer a profoundly optimistic vision for a dazzling new phase in business, and a playbook for how smart companies can manage the essential combination of human and machine. ., PublicAffairs Publishing, 2017, 6, Counterpoint, 2019-10-01.

I hold a Ph.D. in computer science from Washington State University, an M.S. in computer sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a B.S. in mathematics from Gonzaga University. Before I became an administrator, I had an active research program in the area of parallel computing that resulted in the publication of more than 60 refereed journal and conference papers. My textbooks on parallel computing have been used by hundreds of universities worldwide. I began teaching a course in computer ethics back in 1994, and in 2003-2004 I wrote a textbook called Ethics for the Information Age, which has been adopted by more than 125 colleges and universities in the United States and many more internationally., Books<

Key topics - Setting Up an SAP Workflow - Agent Assignment - Workflow Administration - Creating a Workflow - E-Process Interfaces - Using Forms - Custom Programs Über den Autor Alan Rickayzen is the WebFlow Product Manager. He has been with SAP since 1992 and in data processing since 1988. In 1995 he joined the SAP Business Workflow group performing development work as well as consulting for various major US customers. During this time he amassed a good technical knowledge of the product before moving in 1998 to workflow product management. He is the principal liaison for the SAP workflow user groups through which he has a good insight into the project factors and WebFlow features that make a customer implementation a success. He writes regularly for SAP Insider and other journals. Alan Rickayzen graduated from Kings College, London with a BSc in physics. Jocelyn Dart is a Senior Product Consultant specializing in Enterprise Buyer Professional (EBP) and Workflow. She has been involved with SAP products since 1990, and has been in data processing far longer than she wants to admit. In 1994, she joined SAP Australia as a help desk support consultant. Later she became an SAP instructor giving courses in ABAP, Internet Transaction Server, Workflow and EBP. Explaining and demonstrating workflow to students, and generally tinkering around, has given her a unique appreciation of the breadth and depth of the WebFlow Engine. She is currently in Professional Services, performing development work at and advising various major Australian and New Zealand customers. She is acknowledged as a regional expert in both Workflow and EBP development, and is frequently called upon to assist international consultants with EBP and Workflow issues.

The Journals of the Century project gathered some of America's top subject expert librarians to determine the most influential journals in their respective fields. Thirty-two contributing authors-led by Editor Tony Stankus-reviewed journals from over 20 countries that have successfully shaped the evolution of their individual specialties worldwide. Their choices reflect the history of each discipline or profession, taking into account rivalries between universities, professional societies, for-profit and not-for-profit publishers, and even nation-states and international ideologies, in each journal's quest for reputational dominance. Each journal was judged using criteria such as longevity of publication, foresight in carving out its niche, ability to attract & sustain professional or academic affiliations, opinion leadership or agenda-setting power, and ongoing criticality to the study or practice of their field. Journals of the Century presents wholly independent reviewers; none are in the employ of any publisher, but each is fully credentialed and well published, and many are award-winners. The authors guide college and professional school librarians on limited budgets via an exposition of their analytical and critical winnowing process in determining the classic resources for their faculty, students, and working professional clientele. The chapters are logically grouped together in six clusters that reflect the commonly shared interests of library liaisons and the range of like-minded academic departments they typically serve. These clusters include: The Helping Professionals (chapters on social work, education, psychology, sociology, and library and information sciences) Music, Museums, and Methodists (chapters on visual arts, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, and the American religious experience) Business and Law (chapters on business and economics, plus legal literature) War and Peace (chapters on modern history, political science and international relations, and military affairs) Physical Sciences and Engineering (chapters on mathematics and the physical sciences as well as engineering and computer science) Life, Health, and Agriculture (chapters on medicine and surgery, pharmacy, physical therapy and nutrition, agriculture, and veterinary medicine) Journals of the Century answers questions such as: Which university press leads in high-ranking titles in the helping professions? In what crime-fighting journal, ironically mentioned within the Music, Museums, and Methodists cluster, do anthropologists routinely publish? What two journals cover the biggest yearly expense of most working Americans and rankly highly within both chapters of the Business and Law cluster? What family of British publications has remained indispensable reading for political and military readers for over a century in the War and Peace Cluster? What society in the Physical Sciences and Engineering cluster publishes more journals than any other publisher in this book, covering topics from light bulbs and computers to MRIs and windmills? What one-word-titled journal has joined the venerable pair of Nature and Science as the most important reporters of world-class breakthroughs in basic biomedical science? and many, many more! Journals of the Century includes extensive commentaries on each cluster by the editor, with graphical representations by world regions and publishing sectors contributing to each chapter. ISSN numbers for print editions, and URL addresses for online editions are provided in a comprehensive title index. This unique book is an essential resource for serials librarians in academia, new reference librarians familiarizing themselves with classic titles, and collection evaluators and college accreditation examiners., 6, Baltimore, MD: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007.

Epstein, Ph.D., is Professor of Emergency Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, with joint appointments in the departments of Applied Mathematics, Economics, Biostatistics, International Health, and Environmental Health Sciences and the Director of the JHU Center for Advanced Modeling in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences. He is an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, and was recently appointed to the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Identifying and Prioritizing New Preventive Vaccines. Epstein was born in New York City and grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts. He received a B.A. at Amherst College in 1976 and earned his Ph.D. from MIT in 1981. Early in his career, Epstein was Senior Fellow in Economic Studies and Director of the Center on Social and Economic Dynamics at the Brookings Institution. He is a pioneer in agent-based computational modeling of biomedical and social dynamics. He has authored or co-authored several books, including Growing Artificial Societies: Social Science from the Bottom Up, with Robert Axtell (MIT Press/Brookings Institution); Nonlinear Dynamics, Mathematical Biology, and Social Science (Addison-Wesley), and Generative Social Science: Studies in Agent-Based Computational Modeling (Princeton University Press). In 2008, he received an NIH Director's Pioneer Award, and in 2010 an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Amherst College. In Growing Artificial Societies: Social Science From the Bottom Up, Epstein and Axtell developed the first large scale agent-based computational model, the Sugarscape, to explore the role of social phenomenon such as seasonal migrations, pollution, sexual reproduction, combat, and transmission of disease and even culture. He has published widely in the modeling area, including recent articles on the dynamics of civil violence, the demography of the Anasazi (both in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) and the epidemiology of smallpox (in the American Journal of Epidemiology). In his latest book Generative Social Science: Studies in Agent-Based Computational Modeling he explores the role of agent based models in the generative sciences. From 1987 to 2010, Epstein was a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and served as the director of the Center on Social and Economic Dynamics He has taught computational and mathematical modeling at Princeton University and the Santa Fe Institute Summer School.

The most powerful weapon in business today is the alliance between the mathematical smarts of machines and the imaginative human intellect of great leaders. Together they make the mathematical corporation, the business model of the future. We are at a once-in-a-decade breaking point similar to the quality revolution of the 1980s and the dawn of the internet age in the 1990s: leaders must transform how they run their organizations, or competitors will bring them crashing to earth--often overnight. Mathematical corporations--the organizations that will master the future--will outcompete high-flying rivals by merging the best of human ingenuity with machine intelligence. While smart machines are weapon number one for organizations, leaders are still the drivers of breakthroughs. Only they can ask crucial questions to capitalize on business opportunities newly discovered in oceans of data. This dynamic combination will make possible the fulfillment of missions that once seemed out of reach, even impossible to attain. Josh Sullivan and Angela Zutavern's extraordinary examples include the entrepreneur who upended preventive health care, the oceanographer who transformed fisheries management, and the pharmaceutical company that used algorithm-driven optimization to boost vaccine yields. Together they offer a profoundly optimistic vision for a dazzling new phase in business, and a playbook for how smart companies can manage the essential combination of human and machine. ., PublicAffairs Publishing, 2017, 6, Counterpoint, 2019-10-01.

From the author's website: I've been Dean of the College of Science and Engineering at Seattle University since September 2007. Before joining Seattle University, I was a professor of computer science at the University of New Hampshire and Oregon State University. I hold a Ph.D. in computer science from Washington State University, an M.S. in computer sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a B.S. in mathematics from Gonzaga University. Before I became an administrator, I had an active research program in the area of parallel computing that resulted in the publication of more than 60 refereed journal and conference papers. My textbooks on parallel computing have been used by hundreds of universities worldwide. I began teaching a course in computer ethics back in 1994, and in 2003-2004 I wrote a textbook called Ethics for the Information Age, which has been adopted by more than 125 colleges and universities in the United States and many more internationally., Books<
