Digital Earth (DE) is a virtual presentation of the planet based on geographic coordinate, and is an information system with tremendous amount of multiple resolutions and multiple scales data as shown in multiple dimensions. It can visualize the real earth and represent historical phenomena in digital way by using the large amount of data of the earth, and utilizing the computer techniques, image...
We present features of an education system entirely based on a 7-months project, performed by a 6-students team within a virtual company and tutored by an experimented software engineer. We describe some aspects of a past project: functions of the system, technology, deliverables, and assessment. Students' outcomes are drafted in term of roles.
Process modeling and rule modeling languages are both used to document organizational policies and procedures. However, little work has been done to understand their synergies and overlap. Understanding the relationship between the two modeling types would allow organizations to maximize synergies and reduce their modeling effort. In this paper we use the well-established Bunge-Wand-Weber (BWW) representation...
The Open Distributed Processing Reference Model (ODP-RM) provides viewpoints and abstract infrastructure guidelines that can be used for a basis for enterprise architecture, especially for an inter-enterprise architecture. The ODP-RM does not prescribe methodology for modeling itself, but provides common vocabulary and focus for description. This paper performs a brief analysis of the ODP-RM (and...
An important issue to the adoption of any enterprise architectural approach is the availability of tools to support the development, storage, presentation, analysis, improvement and evolution of enterprise architecture representations. As with enterprise architecture methodologies, enterprise architecture tools to support the architectural development process are still emerging. Most important software...
Information privacy typically concerns the confidentiality of personal identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) such as electronic medical records. Thus, the information access control mechanism for e-health services must be embedded with privacy-enhancing technologies. Role-based access control (RBAC) model has been widely investigated and applied to various applications...
