In order to reduce the complexity of modeling product lines, many authors propose modeling product concerns separately by using multiple feature models. These proposals use well-known operations such as merge, union and slice to compose the models for analysis and engineering. Such operations produce new models that represent sets of products that comply with the semantics of the operations. We use...
The operating environment of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) is more uncertain and risky comparing to big enterprises. The SMEs managers often face insufficient funds and lack of domain expertise to undertake important financial decisions. Moreover they are often unaware of opportunities offered by financial institutions. Therefore there is a growing need for intelligent and interactive...
E-catalogues play a key role in e-procurement. Matching a product request from a buyer with products e-catalogues, helps companies to find business partners in e-marketplaces. Plethora of e-catalogue standards and enterprise specific formats is one of the major challenges in the matching process. In addition to this syntactic heterogeneity, the same product concept can be expressed using different...

We suggest formalising Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and the Abstract State Machine (ASM) method. We describe the bene ts of our approach as well as the necessary prerequisites. We argue that such a formalisation will lead to a clearer understanding of the process and a reduction of ambiguity.
Ontologies modeling social graphs often use FOAF as an upper ontology. However, this approach has significant drawbacks. This paper analyzes the requirements for upper social ontologies and illustrates the shortcomings of FOAF and proposed extensions. An alternative approach is presented which is suspected to be sufficient to solve the identified problems.
Nowadays a large number of companies world-wide has moved their applications in the cloud, exploiting a lot of types of functions, such as customer relationship management, human resources, accounting and document sharing. In this work we propose "'CloSe"', a cloud system for document composition, which offers editing/composing aiding services by exploiting semantic based technology. Close...
This paper presents an intelligent corporate governance analysis and rating system, called ICGA, capable of retrieving SEC required documents of public companies and performing analysis and rating in terms of recommended corporate governance practices. With local knowledge bases, databases, and semantic networks, ICGA is able to automatically evaluate the strengths, deficiencies, and risks of a company's...
This paper mainly identified research scopes of ebXML standard and explored the research into B2B system with the architecture of SOA, and put forward a prototype of an E-commerce system base on ebXML using the SOA principle. The prototype can reduce the integration complexity between e-commerce with IT system.
Presence management, i.e., the ability to automatically identify the status and availability of communication partners, is becoming an invaluable tool for collaboration in enterprise contexts. In this paper, we argue for efficient presence management by means of a holistic view of both physical context and virtual presence in online communication channels. We sketch the components for enabling presence...
