Usabilité d’une plateforme de crowdsourcing
Ce mémoire s’inscrit dans une recherche design portant sur le phénomène du crowdsourcing (CS). Le travail de l’étudiant consistera à :
- Etablir les scénarios d’usage pour la plateforme de CS.
- Déterminer les éléments d’usabilité clés compte tenu des tâches à réaliser par les utilisateurs de la plateforme.
- Réaliser et tester différents types de prototypes avec des utilisateurs rééls en s’appuyant sur le corpus de connaissances en usabilité.
- Pour finir, intégrer les recommandations d’usabilité dans la plateforme de CS en production.
Le travail sera réalisé durant l’été 2011 car la plateforme entrera en fonction au semestre d’automne 2011.

Le but de ce projet est de concevoir et de réaliser un site web en utilisant Drupal, un système de gestion de contenu (Content Management System ou CMS en anglais) disponible en open source et considéré comme l’un des leaders du marché. Un CMS est un logiciel qui permet de gérer le contenu d’un site web sans recourir systématiquement à de la programmation.
Concrètement, il s’agira pour l’étudiant(e) de concevoir un site web dont une partie de la charte graphique et le contenu seront repris d’un site existant. Le contenu en question se trouvant en partie dans des bases de données de l’Unil et de HEC, il s’agira également d’automatiser l’extraction de ces données afin de les utiliser dans le nouveau site basé sur Drupal.
Côté technologies Drupal est basé essentiellement sur les standards du web (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.), ainsi que sur PHP, Apache et MySQL. Par conséquent, l'étudiant(e) devrait idéalement être déjà familiarisé(e) avec certaines de ces technologies. En outre, la connaissance d'un langage de programmation par objets tel que Java est clairement un plus.

Using Business Process Patterns for Designing Process-Aware Information Systems
Today’s enterprises are becoming ever more focused on their business processes. Business Process Management (BPM) tools support them in realizing cross-application workflows. Workflow patterns have proven to be helpful in designing these workflows, by documenting recurrent problems and proven solutions.
However, most of these patterns remain on the level of technical business processes, such as control-flow patterns (e.g. sequences or parallel splits), data interaction patterns (e.g. push-oriented or pull-oriented interactions) and service interaction patterns (e.g. send or send/receive transmissions). As of today, patterns are rarely used to describe reusable business process logic from an end-user perspective.
The objective of this master thesis is to extend the concept of patterns from technical to functional business processes. It will explore process patterns that describe business process logic and enhance the implementation of process-aware information
systems. More specifically, the master
student will design an approach that helps companies in analyzing their
existing business process instances (based on a BPM tool) to derive functional
business process patterns.

Towards Monitoring and Measuring Enterprise Architecture Development – A KPI Framework
Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) guides a company in its transition from an existing IS architecture towards a to-be architecture. In the past years, practitioners and academics have primarily focused on enterprise architecture models and frameworks. Although there is consensus that enterprise architecture development needs to be continuously monitored and measured, little research has been done related to the metrics or key performance indicators (KPI) related to EAM.
The main objective of this master thesis is to develop a KPI system for enterprise architecture management. Based on a review of EAM literature and concepts from general management as well as expert interviews, the master student will identify and classify relevant metrics for the different EA layers. Particular emphasis will be given to metrics for the IS layers (applications, data, integration). The result of the master thesis will be a multi-dimensional KPI framework that allows for monitoring and measuring the relevant aspects in enterprise architecture development.

The Impact of Architecture Principles on Enterprise Architecture Design
The design of a to-be enterprise architecture is a complex task which is supported by enterprise architecture models and frameworks. In practice, companies oftentimes define architecture principles – such as service-orientation or technology independence – as underlying rules and guidelines to establish guidance for designing their future enterprise architecture. The selected architecture principles will ultimately shape the future architecture, as in the case of service-orientation which emphasizes the reuse of existing (Web) services when implementing new information systems.
The purpose of this master thesis is to study the impact of architecture principles on enterprise architecture design. For this purpose, the master student will start by systematically analyzing architecture principles from the existing literature and enterprise architecture frameworks, e.g. TOGAF. He/she will then analyze how architecture principles translate into enterprise architecture design. This will involve analysis of real-world cases as well as expert interviews.

Is the Automotive Value Chain a Forerunner in Electronic B2B Integration? - A Critical Assessment of B2B Standards in the Automotive Industry
Due to its long history in realizing tightly integrated supply chains, the automotive industry is often considered a forerunner of electronic B2B integration. This is also reflected by numerous activities of standards development organizations, such as ODETTE in Europe or AIAG Action Group in the US, and their promotional activities for-business. At the same time, automotive companies face certain challenges in adopting new technologies, such as Internet-based standards or Service-Oriented Architecture.
The purpose of this master thesis is to critically assess the existing B2B standards in the automotive industry, in terms of their coverage and maturity. This thesis will draw on the comparison of B2B standards in the automotive industry to state-of-the art Internet-based B2B standards (such as Web Services, ebXML etc.) The student will analyze standards documentation and an expert survey.

Integrating Crowdsourcing in Operational Business Processes
Crowdsourcing denotes the out-tasking of activities, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to an undefined, large group of people or community (a "crowd"), through an open call. Enterprises increasingly use crowdsourcing in their marketing and product innovation activities.
The objective of this master thesis is to investigate how crowdsourcing may be integrated in operational business processes implemented in ERP systems. It will start by analyzing the business processes supported by crowdsourcing and then develop concepts for their organizational and technical integration in the operational business processes of the firm.
