Supplement to the Article: Using Domain Ontology for Service Replacement Tasks: An Empirical Evaluation

Abstract

This document provides additional materials and data analysis that complement the laboratory experiment described in the following article: "Karaenke, P.; Leukel, J.; Sugumaran, V. 2016. “Using Domain Ontology for Service Replacement Tasks: An Empirical Evaluation,” Proceedings of the 37th International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS 2016), Dublin, Ireland." This supplement consists of the following parts: Tutorial pages and tasks, service descriptions used in the service replacement tasks, test of hypothesis 1 per task, and test for learning effects. The purpose of the supplement is to enable researchers to replicate our experiment. Furthermore, the additional data analysis may help researchers better comprehend the results reported in the main article.
