Business process improvement is an important phase that must be introduced as soon as the phase of theoretical modeling of a new process. Indeed, it is based on the main aspects of the process such requirements, artefacts, and stakeholders. In this paper, we use the MDE approach to create our meta-model of process extended to improvement cycles. We generate this meta-model from the fusion of several...
A huge amount of data is constantly being produced in the world. Data coming from the IoT, from scientific simulations, or from any other field of the eScience, are accumulated over historical data sets and set up the seed for future Big Data processing, with the final goal to generate added value and discover knowledge. In such computing processes, data are the main resource, however, organizing...
As a member of the European Union, Hungary face different challenges, of which the most important are the transformation of the healthcare system, the Social Security and pension system and the system of taxation. These economic and social challenges require long-term governmental strategies, which should be modelled, tested, verified in some way. It is for this challenge that we find an efficient...
There is a vast amount of data being generated every day in the world, coming from a variety of sources, with different formats, quality levels, etc. This new data, together with the archived historical data, constitute the seed for future knowledge discovery and value generation in several fields of eScience. Discovering value from data is a complex computing process where data is the key resource,...
Many security breaches have been reported in the past few years impacting both large and small organizations. There has often been considerable disagreement about the overall cost of such breaches. No significant formal studies have yet addressed this issue, though some proprietary approaches exist. A few computational models for evaluating partial data breach costs have been implemented, but these...
Current research initiatives on API ecosystems mainly concentrate on the technical aspects of the API composition and assembly. API ecosystems usually have challenges such as publication and provisioning of APIs by providers and selection and consumption of relevant APIs by consumers. Difficulties and problems in API value oriented analysis and design are often overlooked. This paper introduces the...
Innovation and health-care funding reforms have contributed to the deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve patient care. Many health-care organizations considered the application of ICT as a crucial key to enhance health-care management. This paper aims at providing a global methodology to assess the organizational impact of high-level Health Information System (HIS)...
The opening of data by public organizations can result in innovations and new business models in the private sector. Yet, the public and private sectors may have different and sometimes interfering objectives. In this paper, we analyze the goals of an open data business model for weather forecasting using the multi-perspective goal modelling language GoalML. The public and private sectors partly share...
Many real-world situations are more easily represented using multilevel models that abandon traditional two level instantiation. In business process management, multilevel modeling allows for the explicit representation of the interdependencies between the processes at the different hierarchy levels within an organization. Furthermore, multilevel modeling allows modelers to capture the variability...
This article describes the construction of an application middleware for apps integration in organizations that provide health services in Colombia, by using HL7 standards.
Information is one of the most important inputs for the activities in the transportation systems. The demands for information can be derived from the functions. Since modelling and analysis of particularly complex systems requires different techniques depending on the application purposes new methods have been introduced by us in order to facilitate the integration intentions. Our objective was to...
In this paper we deal with the cloud brokering problem in the context of a multi-cloud infrastructure. The problem is by nature a multi-criterion optimization problem. The focus is put mainly (but not only) on the security/trust criterion which is rarely considered in the litterature. We use the well known Promethee method to solve the problem which is original in the context of cloud brokering. In...
The paper concerns the measurement and forecasting of technological change, a topic relevant to many high-tech organizations and their customers. We revisit recent and classic data sets from technology forecasting data envelopment analysis (TFDEA) research and technometrics in light of a new visualization technique known as t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE). The technique is a non-linear...
The Disaster Response Network Enabled Platform (DRNEP) is a system that integrates a set of independently developed infrastructure and disaster simulators. This paper describes some of the architectural choices that we made for DRNEP. The overall system uses a master-slave pattern, with one master simulator orchestrating all of the others, based on a central system clock. As the various simulators...
The international developments of the recent years resulted in a radical change of tasks the armed forces are conducting. Supporting M&S methods and tools can no longer focus on attrition, movement, and warfighting operations, but need to address reconstruction, crisis prevention, police tasks, and related efforts that are conducted in collaboration with or in support of civil agencies and organizations...
Contingency theorists have developed the basic grammar of coordination theory around the relationship between coordination mechanisms and circumstance like uncertainty, interdependence, work unit size and functional diversity. Recently, conceptual and empirical studies have emerged that offer new opportunities in coordination theory, for instance structure-process modeling. Meanwhile, model building...
In this paper the new grid task attemper is discussed. It join with role layer resource organize, role working flow, role collaboration and grid computing, It can decompose the complicated tactics computational task into little blocks and assign to many computers to complete cooperatively and synchronously, which was originally done by only one computer, such questions as poor speed, high request...
Human resources is the key factor for corporate competitive advantage, so attracting and retaining excellent talents is vital to obtain competitive advantage for any enterprise. Due to the strategic role of the corporate image, some organizations are looking for new ways to consummate corporate image so as to acquire more excellent talents to enhance competitive advantage. However, in the era of knowledge...
With the accelerating pace of city's Informatization, how to manage and exhibit three-dimensional architectural model that is a technical difficulty. This paper researches the method of processing massive three-dimensional architectural model. It has been applied in xiamen municipal three-dimensional geographic information system.
The main goal of the COIN (Enterprise Collaboration and Interoperability) European Project is to provide an Evolutionary and Pervasive Service Platform, realizing a collaborative Digital Ecosystem that allows providers of business services to publish their offers, and potential customers to easily locate and access the services that best suit their needs. Given the absence of a central management...
