Email is an imperative method of communication that is changing the way people share their data and information. It provides effective and efficient communication, especially in business, convenience, and easy access and replication. Those electronic data should be considered by a fraud investigator to comprehend the investigation. Email can be divided into two parts: the head of the email and the email body. The head of the email is metadata that consists of unstructured data, and the body and its attachment consist of semi-structured data. The email data usually comes in large volumes and ranges of types. Therefore, a manual investigation of an email should be avoided. This paper uses the Design Science Research Methodology to discover the most profound framework in an email fraud investigation. Using email metadata and email body, this research performs a digital forensic framework: preparation, gathering, processing, and presentation, combines with social network analysis to be applicable in the investigation. The result shows that digital forensics process, network analysis, data visualization provides a more valuable and comprehensive insight into email analysis.

General Data Protection Regulation

Purpose Data can nowadays be seen as the main asset of organizations and data leaks have a considerable impact on the organization’s image, revenues and possible consequences to the affected clients. One of the most critical industries is the bank. Information security frameworks (ISF) have been created to assist organizations and other frameworks evolved to update these domain practices. Recently, the European Union decided to create the general data protection regulation (GDPR), applicable to all organizations dealing with personal data of citizens residing in the European Union. Although considered a general regulation, GDPR implementation needs to align with some industries’ laws and policies. Especially in the Bank industry. How these ISF can assist the implementation of GDPR is not clear. Design/methodology/approach The design science research process was followed and semi-structured interviews performed. Findings A list of practices to assist the bank industry in GDPR implementation is provided. How each practice map with assessed ISF and GDPR requirements is also presented. Research limitations/implications As GDPR is a relatively recent subject, it is hard to find experts in the area. It is more difficult if the authors intend to find experienced people in the GDPR and bank industry. That is one of the main reasons this study does not include more interviews. Originality/value This research provides a novel artefact to the body of knowledge. The proposed artefact lists which ISF practices banks should implement to comply with GDPR. By doing it the artefact provides a centralized view about which ISF frameworks (or part of them) could be implemented to help banks comply with GDPR.

Effective execution of collaborative tasks during enterprise architecture creation helps to increase stakeholders' involvement and awareness in the architecture effort. However, enterprise architecture approaches lack detailed support for collaborative tasks. In an effort to address this, an exploratory survey was conducted among enterprise architects to investigate issues associated with executing collaborative tasks during enterprise architecture creation. Accordingly, this paper discusses mainly three aspects. First, it discusses how issues that were reported in the survey can be addressed by adopting the design science research methodology to guide the development of a process or method that supports the execution of collaborative tasks in architecture creation. The developed process is principally rooted in collaboration engineering and soft systems methodology (SSM). Second, the paper discusses how the developed method can be used to supplement enterprise architecture approaches that are used in practice (e.g. TOGAF) with support for executing collaborative tasks. Third, the paper discusses key findings from evaluating the developed process in two real organizations.

Πληθώρα κυβερνήσεων και κυβερνητικών οργανισμών σε όλο τον κόσμο πραγματοποιούν μεγάλες επενδύσεις για την ανάπτυξη πληροφοριακών συστημάτων που βοηθούν στη δημοσίευση των δεδομένων που έχουν στην κατοχή τους ώστε να τα καταστίσουν κοινώς προσβάσιμα, προκειμένου να χρησιμοποιούνται για επιστημονικούς, εμπορικούς και πολιτικούς σκοπούς. Επομένως, κρίνεται πολύ σημαντική η ανάπτυξη προηγμένων υποδομών ανοιχτών κυβερνητικών δεδομένων, οι οποίες όχι μόνο θα δημοσιεύουν τα στοιχεία της κυβέρνησης, αλλά και θα παρέχουν τις κατάλληλες δυνατότητες για την παραγωγή ατομικής και συλλογικής αξίας από αυτά. Είναι επίσης απαραίτητο για την ανάπτυξη, τόσο των «παραδοσιακών» όσο και των προηγμένων υποδομών ανοικτών κυβερνητικών δεδομένων, να κατανοηθεί η αξία που δημιουργείται από τη δημοσίευση τέτοιων δεδομένων και συγχρόνως πώς, δεδομένου ότι αυτό είναι ένα σχετικά νέο είδος των πληροφοριακών συστημάτων, μπορούν να προσδιοριστούν οι κύριες βελτιώσεις και οι προτεραιότητες κατά την ανάπτυξη των υποδομών αυτών. Προσπαθώντας να συμπληρώσουμε αυτό το ερευνητικό κενό και ακολουθώντας τη μεθοδολογία ανάπτυξης και σχεδιασμού επιστημονικών αντικειμένων (Design Science Research Methodology), πέντε ερευνητικά ερωτήματα διατυπώθηκαν με στόχο την περαιτέρω εξέλιξη αυτού του πεδίου έρευνας. Μια λεπτομερής επισκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας και η δημιουργία μιας ταξονομίας είχε ως αποτέλεσμα την αναγνώριση των βασικών ερευνητικών περιοχών του τομέα (Open Government Data - OGD). Εν συνεχεία, πραγματοποιήθηκε η ανάπτυξη ενός μοντέλου με σκοπό την ανάλυση των σύγχρονων υποδομών ανοιχτών κυβερνητικών δεδομένων καθώς και η ανάλυση των μεγαλύτερων υποδομών παγκοσμίως. Μετά τα αποτελέσματα των παραπάνω μελετών, ακολούθησε ο προσδιορισμός των απαιτήσεων βασισμένος στην μεθοδολογία ανάπτυξης σεναρίων χρήσης και η υλοποίηση της υποδομής νέας γενιάς. Επιπλέον, ένα πλαίσιο αξιολόγησης αναπτύχθηκε και εφαρμόστηκε οδηγώντας την ανάπτυξη των επόμενων εκδόσεων της υποδομής. Τέλος, μια νέα πλατφόρμα πραγματοποιήθηκε με στόχο την εφαρμογή της στο ελληνικό τοπίο, ώστε να ενισχύσει την παραγωγή αξίας ως προς τη συνεργατική και προσωπική χρήση των OGD. Ερευνώντας τα πέντε βασικά ερωτήματα της διατριβής, διάφορα άλλα ζητήματα προέκυψαν, τα οποία μπορούν να χαρακτηριστούν μείζονος σημασίας για την ανάπτυξη μιας υποδομής ανοιχτών κυβερνητικών δεδομένων. Τα ζητήματα αυτά έχουν συζητηθεί στα συμπεράσματα και έχουν ενσωματωθεί στον ευρύτερο ερευνητικό τομέα των ανοιχτών δεδομένων αρθρώνοντας και καθοδηγώντας τη μελλοντική έρευνα.

For decades, researchers have been fascinated by the strategy of using cell therapy for bone defects; some progress in the field has been made. Owing to its ample supply and easy access, skin, the largest organ in the body, has gained attention as a potential source of stem cells. Despite extensive applications in skin and nerve regeneration, an increasing number of reports indicate its potential use in bone tissue engineering and regeneration. Unfortunately, few review articles are available to outline current research efforts in skin-based osteogenesis. This review first summarizes the latest findings on stem cells or progenitors in skin and their niches and then discusses the strategies of skin cell-based osteogenesis. We hope this article elucidates this topic and generates new ideas for future studies.
