ENABLING BUSINESS PROCESS INTEGRATION OF IOT-EVENTS TO THE BENEFIT OF SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS

In this paper, we introduce a concept that focuses on innovative sustainability solutions in the logistics domain reflecting process-embedded events from the Internet of Things. We outline sustainability challenges in the target industry and derive generic software requirements. To address them a conceptual framework is presented in line with the two core functionalities. Firstly, we introduce event-based processing and quality methodologies to retrieve valuable information from the Internet of Things. The other subset of key concepts pertains to the resulting process-centric analysis and decision making in the context of user-process interaction. The developed concepts are derived from experiences applying recent research advances to sustainability in the logistics industry. Nevertheless, the presented functionalities are designed to be applicable to further scenarios as well.
