Software developer turnover can have disastrous effects on an organization due to the loss of business process knowledge, as well as acquired technical skills. Annual rates of turnover in information technology (IT) departments have been estimated at 20% or more with the cost of replacing technology workers ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 times annual salaries. This study purposely focused only on software developers as opposed to IT employees in general due to the critical nature of their work. The factors leading to turnover intention in this field are poorly understood; therefore, this study was designed to further understand the relationships between job characteristics, job satisfaction, and turnover intention among software developers. 326 web surveys were completed that contained questions relating to job characteristics, job satisfaction, turnover intention, and demographic information. The first four job characteristics are specific to software developers while the last five job characteristics and the job satisfaction scales are from the Hackman and Oldham Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). Two research questions, sixteen hypotheses, and a theoretical path model were developed to understand which job characteristic variables contribute to the various dimensions of job satisfaction and which job satisfaction dimensions contribute to turnover intention. Additionally, the indirect effects of job characteristics through job satisfaction on turnover intention were also determined. The statistical testing consisted of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Bivariate correlations are presented, as well as path analysis, an extension of multiple regression analysis. The results of the study uncovered several factors that can influence turnover intention among software developers. Identified in the study as statistically significant job characteristics that can be influenced by management are training, autonomy, feedback, number of developers, task significance, and skill variety. With the results of this study, management can better understand the unique needs of software developers and design development jobs to ensure that these needs are met. The study concludes with implications for practitioners and recommendations for future research.

Semantics in Business Systems begins with a description of what semantics are and how they affect business systems. It examines four main aspects of the application of semantics to systems, specifically: How do we infer meaning from unstructured information, how do application systems make meaning as they operate, how do practitioners uncover meaning in business settings, and how do we understand and communicate what we have deduced? This book illustrates how this applies to the future of application system development, especially how it informs and affects Web services and business rule- based approaches, and how semantics will play out with XML and the semantic Web. The book also contains a quick reference guide to related terms and technologies. It is part of Morgan Kaufmann's series of Savvy Manager's Guides.
* Presents an easy and enjoyable introduction to semantics in the context of business IT systems.
* Articulates the business value of semantics, while providing relevant introductory technical background.
* Describes the semantic underpinnings of data modeling, business rules, enterprise integration, and Web services.
* Contains a handy quick-reference guide to technologies and terminology.

Description Microservices promise a better way to sustainably deliver business impact. Rather than a single monolithic unit, applications built in this style are composed from loosely-coupled, autonomous services. Microservices in Action is a practical book about building and deploying microservice-based applications. Written for developers and architects with a solid grasp of service-oriented development, it tackles the challenge of putting microservices into production. Key features * Review of microservice architecture * Written by authors with daily, hands-on experience * Building a delivery pipeline for microservices Audience Readers should be intermediate developers with some knowledge of enterprise application architecture. About the technology Microservices change the dev process, maximizing the efficiency and independence of small teams. To be successful, developers, team leaders, and architects need to master both the implementation details and the big picture of how microservices work in a production environment. Morgan Bruce and Paulo A. Pereira have years of experience building distributed applications, with particular expertise in the high-stakes finance and identity verification industries. They work daily with microservices in a production environment using the tools and techniques presented in this book.

Der Einsatz von IT-Systemen ist omniprasent. Im Gegensatz zur Verbreitung der Systeme werden die Wirkungen der Systeme fur Individuen, Unternehmen oder Gesellschaften selten betrachtet. Damit durften viele Nutzer und Unternehmen von der Wirkung der Investition uberrascht werden. Die Gefahr fehlerhafter Investitionen nimmt zu und moegliche Potenziale der IT bleiben ungenutzt. Das Buch vermittelt wissenschaftlich fundiertes Wissen uber die Wirkung und Wirtschaftlichkeit von IT-Systemen. Aufbauend auf Grundlagen aus der Organisationslehre, Soziologie, Entscheidungstheorie, Kosten- und Leistungsrechnung wird diskutiert, welche Phanomene durch IT-Systeme induziert werden. Die mannigfaltigen Wirkungen von IT-Systemen sowie Verfahren zur Wirkungsermittlung werden beschrieben. Samtliche Aspekte fur ein holistisches Wirkungsmanagement von IT-Systemen von der Projektskizze bis zur Umsetzung in der Realitat werden in einem neuen Ansatz integriert.

Dieses Buch erklart die wichtigsten Fachbegriffe und Inhalte und ordnet diese den entsprechenden Bereichen zu. Einbezogen werden auch scheinbare Randgebiete, die fur die Informationssicherheit ebenfalls eine Rolle spielen. So wird der Themenkomplex Safety und Privacy hinsichtlich seiner Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede beleuchtet. Das Buch zeigt aktuell verwendete Angriffsmuster und wie man sich dagegen schutzen kann. Schutz muss dabei sowohl auf technischer Ebene (z. B. durch den Einsatz von Kryptographie) als auch auf organisatorischer und personeller Ebene (z. B. durch entsprechende Managementsysteme und Awareness-Schulungen) erfolgen. Wie lasst sich feststellen, wie sicher Daten sind? Wie lassen sich relevante Bedrohungen finden, gegen die man sich schutzen muss? Wie verlaufen Risikoanalysen?

Das Gebiet der Unternehmensmodellierung umfasst viele Bereiche, der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Daten- und Prozessmodellierung. Wahrend die Datenmodellierung derzeit einen ruhenden Eindruck macht, kann dies bei der Prozessmodellierung nicht gesagt werden. Hier findet, v.a. auch in der Praxis, eine intensive Diskussion statt. Z.B. uber den Gegensatz klassischer und objektorientierter Methoden. Hier setzt dieses Buch ein. Es widmet sich der Frage: Wie kann eine zeitgemasse Unternehmensmodellierung in all ihren Komponenten unter Einbeziehung effizienter klassischer und objektorientierter Theorieelemente aussehen? Insbesondere wird eine Antwort auf die Frage gesucht, in welchem Umfang sie objektorientiert sein kann bzw. ob der Anspruch der UML-Autoren, mit ihrem Theorievorschlag die Gesamtheit der Unternehmensmodellierung (insbesondere auch die Prozessmodellierung) abdecken zu koennen, tatsachlich begrundet ist.
