An ontology-based approach to deal with data and management procedure integration in home-based scenarios is presented in this paper. The proposed ontology not only provides a means to represent exchanged data but also to unify the way of accessing, controlling, evaluating and transferring information remotely. The structure of this ontology has been inspired by the autonomic computing paradigm, thus...
Have made the simple elaboration and the analysis to the relations between design management and product design, pointing out the factors that influent domestic product design quality and the efficiency at present, and correspondingly proposed the measures of improving the product design quality and the efficiency: improving the designers' quality; insisting the product quality first, optimizing product...
If we are to deploy sensor applications in a realistic business context, we must provide innovative middleware services to control and enforce required system behavior; in order to correctly interpret collected temperature data, for example, sensor applications require guarantees about minimal coverage and the number of available sensors. The extreme dynamism, scale and unreliability of wireless sensor...
The ambitious goals of autonomic management require complex, adaptable processing capabilities that prove extremely difficult to conceive and implement. This paper proposes a solution for the opportunistic integration of specialised autonomic management resources, so as to obtain complex, adaptable management strategies. The paper introduces an architecture that follows the proposed solution and provides...
Value based management (VBM) aims to promote value of enterprise. In the management process, value of enterprise is changed dynamically and the value change corresponds to an event which happens to the enterprise, such as success of new product development, fall of share price and so on. In other words, an event indicates a change of enterprise value. In this paper, the concepts of enterprise event,...
Conservation projects are dynamic interventions that occur in complex contexts involving intricate interactions of social, political, economic, cultural, and environmental factors. These factors are constantly changing over time and space as managers learn more about the context within which they work. This complex context poses challenges for planning and evaluating conservation project. In order...
Software projects often fail because they aren't adequately monitored and controlled. Although a variety of models, methods, and techniques exist for project monitoring and control (PMC), many organizations, especially those with fewer than 50 employees, still have trouble institutionalizing a systematic PMC process. In this context, organizations worldwide - including small ones - use reference models...
This paper addresses the verification of a modern multi-core SoC using an approach that quantifies the verification problem and defines its solution. We show how to analyze a specification to create a verification plan that describes the verification problem, quantifies it using measurable metrics, specifies the solution to the problem, and facilitates automation of functional closure. Specifically,...
