The paper discusses the possibility of generation of a set of reusable educational components by means of paradigms of knowledge representation and management, based on contemporary concepts and tools in educational and informational technologies. Definitions of knowledge models such as ontology and characteristics of conception; model of knowledge specification and knowledge expressions by means...
This paper considers software tools and linguistic constructions of the network simulator TRIADNS. Nowadays network applications - especially in the area of wireless networks - are becoming more and more complex which makes the design and the testing almost impossible without appropriate software. This software available to aid the user in simulating previously designed scenarios, scalable algorithms...
The paper focuses on discussion on the method of integration of simulation models used within the enterprise information system. The integration problem is presented on one sample class of models - the real time models that are used in control, diagnostics and decision making processes. The suggested method is based on multi-agent approach with distributed knowledgeable agents. The dynamic model consists...
Goal-oriented requirement analysis is an approach that semantically suggests requirements based on predefined domain knowledge using ontology. However, developing ontology can be a very expensive process and cause additional efforts. These are major obstacles to introduce Goal-oriented requirement analysis. Furthermore, since the prioritization mechanism depends on how to define ontology, a consistent...
This paper proposes and demonstrates an architectural pattern for the contractual specification of interfaces between constituent systems within a System of Systems (SoS). We take a structured approach to the development of the pattern, which we call the Contract Pattern. It is developed and demonstrated in SysML using a case study from the Audio/Video domain. We also identify some of the obstacles...
Many different business process modelling languages (BPMLs) have been designed in recent years. In cross-organizational business processes and heterogeneous organizations where multiple BPMLs are deployed there is a need for a unified view to ease communication and foster understandability. This paper proposes a language independent abstraction of seven mainstream BPMLs' concepts, in a unified meta-meta...
The completeness and consistency of requirements model is the basis for the success of a software project, and the verification of requirements models is a key activity in a software life cycle. We have developed a tool based on JENA to verify the consistency of concerns model under the framework of aspect oriented document driven requirements engineering, and a case study to prove the effectiveness...
Ontology provides means to describe concepts effectively. It has become an increasingly useful tool in understanding concepts in various fields of Information Systems and Technology. The aim of this paper is to build and evaluate an ontology that standardizes concepts and semantics of requirements modelling notations, in order to provide a common understanding of those concepts among software engineers...
Modeling plays a crucial role in model-driven development of service-oriented systems. This paper proposes a framework for service-oriented modeling that combines an agent-oriented software development methodology with an ontology-based domain analysis technique. It aims at improving the dynamic composability of services at requirements and design stages through modeling. The framework consists of...
It is laborious and time consuming to build domain ontology, which models a specific domain and specifies the concepts in a particular subject. In this paper, a 5W1H-based conceptual modeling framework for domain ontology is proposed, which is used to analysis domain concepts and relations from six aspects including Who, When, Where, What, Why and How. The definition of domain ontology, domain concept...
A design method for integrated modeling and assessment DSS in Hydroinformatics based on ontology and domain modeling is given. Four levels of design are discussed. First, formal concept analysis is employed for domain ontology analysis and construction in Hydroinformatics. Second, OWL is used as representation language for domain ontology. In third level, metamodel method of domain model is combined...
The rapid growth of complexity accompanied with the continually changing requirements of C4ISR system makes it challenging to make C4ISR capability analysis by traditional design principles. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) offers a flexible approach to meet the dynamic military requirements of C4ISR systems due to its loosely coupling features, dynamic binding and independence of development technologies,...
The agent-oriented development paradigm has achieved a high maturity level over the last decade. However, integrated development environments supporting all phases of agent-oriented development are still missing. This paper presents the MADAE-IDE environment, an integrated knowledge-based environment that automates the MADAE-Pro multi-agent software development process. Part of a case study aiming...
Business Process Management is becoming an ever more important aspect for organizations alongside with Business Process Diagrams as a tool to describe business processes. So far process modeling has been mainly performed with generic process modeling languages. These approaches have however limitations when it comes to the needs of specific problem domains or automated process analysis. Semantic building...
The domain requirement analysis not only is the important content to put domain engineering into practice, but also is the guarantee to realize domain specific software reuse. However, there is the ??communication gap?? among the domain requirement analysis because of the difference comprehension to domain knowledge. To resolve the problem, a method of domain requirement analysis based on the ontology...
Developing product family is one of the most promising approaches in the mass customization paradigm. In the product family perspective, the understanding of product family metrics and modeling is crucial for decision support and analysis. Most of the current product family modeling representation is meant solely for physical product configuration. Therefore, the current product family modeling approaches...
The most straight forward approach to requirements elicitation is to provide a direct transformation from the user's task descriptions to analysis models. A detailed description of tasks is formalized in ontology. Using the task ontology it is possible to create templates to facilitate transforming tasks to both use cases and data flow diagrams. In this paper, a new user-oriented approach for task...
Service-oriented computing is becoming a direction of computing technology. For realising the mission of service-oriented computing, service-oriented architecture has been proposed to facilitate the application development via discoverable services distributed on Internet. That brings out service-oriented modelling as a new technical area to provide modelling and analysis techniques of service-oriented...
The idea of ontology-based approach to business process modeling is certainly viable. However, according to the semantic representation deficiency of the process models, it's hard to realize the ontology auto-acquisition to support the model mapping from domain model to IT-specific PIM. This paper presents an ontology-activity-based model acquisition approach to improve business process modelling...
Knowledge representation is a multidisciplinary subject that needs to apply theories and techniques from logic, ontology and computation. There are a great number of languages able to represent knowledge, among them UML can be considered a suitable language for modelling knowledge. It could be included within the category of visual languages for knowledge representation. On the other hand, numerous...
