An innovative cyber culture and computing of social governance of citizens is proposed, aimed at the moral metric cloud service of social groups through the leverage of digital monitoring and expert evaluation of social processes and phenomena. Cyber culture is defined as the development level of social, technological, moral and material relations between society, the physical world and cyberspace...
Security has been a growing concern for large organizations, especially financial and governmental institutions, as security breaches in the systems they depend on have repeatedly resulted in billions of dollars in losses per year, and this cost is on the rise. A primary reason for these breaches is that the systems in question are socio-technical — a mix of people, processes, technology and infrastructure...
Currently, Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) has becoming one of the main languages for creating a description of processes and developing executable frameworks for the management of the process itself. In this context, one important aspect of process management is the possibility of process analysis and optimization, which many times relies on real data collected during the process execution...
This paper presents the use of the Business Intelligence process and some of its technologies to perform monitoring and meta-monitoring actions on sensed data and physical components that compose an environmental monitoring platform. These actions are mainly related to the capture of data that are the input to carry out the support of the decision-making process in the regulation and control of environmental...
Continuous assessment of the quality of health-related life (HRQoL) of patients is an important aspect of health and gives rise to several readings. On one hand, the enormous amount of information that is generated allows the extraction of knowledge with great accuracy concerning the disease, the treatments and the impact it has on society, on the other hand, this continuous monitoring allows effective...
The fast expansion of Internet-based multimedia services like Netflix, Skype or YouTube -- the so-called Over-The-Top Services (OTT) -- have increased the quality requirements of these services from the point of view of the user. In this sense, it is important not only to ensure a good Quality of Service (QoS) level -- technical metrics -- but also a high level of Quality of Experience (QoE) -- subjective,...
We propose a lean design methodology for business models, which repeatedly design business-model hypotheses in researching manner, moreover, with which corporate businesses can create new business value utilizing IT. Both analyzing business value that IT creates, and designing business models which repeatedly provide the business value will be possible. We applied the proposed method onto IoT utilizing...
This paper uses design science research foundations to establish requirements for predictive analytics-driven Campaign Management Support Systems (CMSS). We assert the "campaign" as the unit of analysis for these systems, because campaign management is central to the marriage of marketing resource management and the ideals of demand/customer-driven supply chains. Current CMMS are fragmented,...
Current systems for enacting scientific experiments, and in particular simulation workflows, do not support multi-scale and multi-field problems if they are not coupled on the level of the mathematical model. We present a life cycle that utilizes the notion of choreographies to enable the trial-and-error modeling and execution of multi-scale and/or multi-field simulations. The life cycle exhibits...
With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, environmental protection in developing countries such as China is under ever-increasing pressure. The establishment and improvement of environment protection management tools, particularly the digital systems, with properties of fast and efficient for environment problems disposal occur as an urgent task for scientific and government organizations...
As a result of new business demands and technological advances processes are becoming increasingly complex and heterogeneous. This calls for business processes that must be managed in an autonomic manner in response to changes in its environmental context. However, a key challenge is to provide variability, understandability and scalability in modeling increasingly complex business processes. In our...
Engineering of information and control systems for process and manufacturing facilities is a complex multidisciplinary effort. The engineering processes are often interwoven between different teams and enterprises making both the exchange of technical engineering data and management of engineering processes challenging. Business process management is applied to the engineering processes in order to...
The article discusses the theories of ERP Management and Real-time Control. It advances the idea that the Real-time Control of Enterprises Cash Flow Model or the Period Concentration Control of Enterprise Cash Flow Model should be integrated into the current ERP operating environment. It also provides substantial measures to ensure the ERP system generates quality information and the enterprises achieve...
Work is becoming more collaborative in business and public enterprises. The goal of enabling collaboration is to share knowledge and develop new innovative outcomes. Enterprises are increasingly faced with providing communication systems to support the collaboration and for people to share knowledge to work collaboratively. Collaboration now often goes beyond supporting small teams but increasingly...
Advanced case management gives enterprises the flexibility to organize their business operations in an efficient and transparent manner while providing knowledge workers the opportunity to proceed towards their goals and to react to exceptions as required in each individual situation. Powerful analytics based on pervasive observation of end-to-end case executions help to detect exceptional situations,...
The scope of the problems that could be solved by monitoring and the improvement of the recognition time is directly correlated to the performance of the management function of the business process. The Enhydra Shark from the existing WfMS shows the process records on the web client by the allocated activities during the designing process of the process log for the sake of the process monitoring....
For monitoring, controlling, and improving software development projects, project and quality managers need tool support to analyze engineering processes within development environments. Unfortunately, technical and semantic gaps between the engineering tools and related data models make it hard to observe and analyze the implemented tool-based engineering processes. In this paper we build on a service-oriented...
This paper describes the application of an MDA development approach to the Project of Amazon Integration and Cooperation for Modernization of Hydrological Monitoring. This project is currently under the development of the Brazilian Aeronautics Institute of Technology. The adopted approach involves among other issues the source-code generation from UML models using the AndroMDA Framework. This development...
This paper aims to present the proposal for a model that assess the IT enterprise architectures' maturity. This model, called the Maturity Cube, aims to assess the key dimensions that comprise the business alignment with IT. Initially, other models in the literature were analyzed to evaluate the enterprise architecture maturity. From this analysis it was constructed a model of maturity in IT enterprise...
Software production line and Web services are two new hot topics in the field of software engineering and distributed computing. How to integrate the two aspects and to put the combinational services software into distributed, reusable, high efficiency, large-scale production, is a new and exciting challenges. This paper presents a service-oriented software production line integration framework based...
