In this article, a strategy that seeks to assist the arduous cognitive process that involves understanding a GUI‐based system is presented. In order to reach this goal, a UML use case model with the most relevant features is obtained. To derive this model, the strategy performs the following steps: Extraction and filtering of specific system static information and implementation of a clustering process...
Simulation models have been used successfully to understand processes and to assist the formulation and evaluation of several systems. The general case is that the models are not well specified and documented. This peculiarity produces interoperability problems, such as: replicating tasks, wasting the potential of the simulation models and those systems that use them. Considering the above mentioned...
In many applications, such as e-voting, it is imperative that the privacy reaches a level of unconditional security. In this context, protocols that verify that condition reach maximum interest. Probably, the most interesting of them is Non Interactive Dining cryptographers (NIDC), which relaxes the condition of concurrency online for all participants. NIDC proposes to store the vote on a table of...
In many applications, such as e-voting, it is imperative that the privacy scope unconditional security levels, i.e. that it is protected regardless of the resources and the time available to attack. In this context, protocols that verify that condition reach maximum interest. Probably, the most interesting of them is Non Interactive Dining cryptographers (NIDC), that relaxes the condition of concurrency...
It is important to implement a continuous improvement when analyzing the life cycle of Business Process (BP). As a result, organizations are searching for tools like Business Process Management (BPM) using Business Process Management System (BPMS). The Workflow Management System (WfMS) is the most significant BPMS that is used to automatically improve the business process. Organizations require virtual...
Understanding a web application is not a simple task. It implies being available to interpret both their descriptions and several systems that really implement the web services. This interpreting process gathers much information and this information must be properly shown for simplifying the understanding. The descriptions of web services are an important starting point to begin to comprehend a web...
The continuous improvement of organizations involves redesigning, improving or introducing new Business Processes effectively and efficiently while maintaining integration with the computer systems of the organization. In this article, we propose the creation of components of the Java EE 6 business platform from technical business processes modeled with Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) 2.0....
It is particularly attractive to think in the possibility of having a general model from which could be possible to derive specific management methods, projects management methods, management methods of companies, management methods of governments, management methods of NGOs as specialization / instantiation of this general model. In this work a design is proposed: Project Plan Model that could be...
The Web services technology for invoking external applications from a workflow engine provides significant benefits to the WFMS. With the increasing number of web services that provide similar functionality, it is important to find the best web service that meets the user's needs, including both their functional and non functional requirements. The non-functional description of the service requires...
MDA is a software development framework where the core is a set of automatic transformations of models. One of these models, the CIM (Computer Independent Model), is used to define the business process model. Though a complete automatic construction of the CIM is not possible, we have proposed the integration of some natural language requirements models and we have defined a strategy to derive a CIM...
This paper is about the conceptual design of the IT support for human rights watching, police transparency and police performance evaluation. Firstly we understand that human rights are rights that humans have by the fact of being human, and which are neither created nor can be abrogated by any governmental institution. These include cultural, economic, and political rights, such as right to life,...
This article approaches the improvement of the software development processes specified with the Software Process Engineering Metamodel version 2 (SPEM). The work consists of transforming the SPEM specification of the SmallRUP development methodology to be used as an input of a Standard Workflow Engine. For this purpose, a transformation was used defined in Relations language, which is part of the...
This paper reports a "police e-Transparency" project. We assume that e-Transparency is an important subset of e-Government. Actually, taking into account the data we have, this project is the first one, in Latin America, in this government area: a police force. This work reports that, provincial police, in Province of Chubut - Argentina, is implanting a Web-based system to help and to improve,...
The definition and specification of infrastructure or framework for GIS Web services are given to provide a solution to the issue of format and information diversity. The need for a definition of this kind is due to the fact that organizations must rely on tools which allow them to develop geographic information systems in a quick and simple form, using tested an established models. This infrastructure...
We are reporting a very specific and innovative development project, based on Internet technology, oriented both to support human right watch activities and to prepare police stations for ISO 9001:2008 certification. This project includes a Web application that tracks and records all Police Stations activities, provides citizens with the opportunity to evaluate police performance, and establishes...
