In nascent areas, such as Smart Manufacturing, new collaborative research and development programs (R&D) are frequently formed with the goal to ignite the innovation lifecycle. Yet, clearly formulating common goals and enabling shared understanding of key concepts, which are critical to achieving these goals, often involve long, drawn-out processes. These processes typically involve road-mapping...
Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is employed to elucidate business processes within web service of enterprises thus a standard business language SBVR (Semantic Business Vocabulary and Rules) is available to deal with the ambiguous nature of textual business information. The description of structured vocabularies demands significant attention while transformation to avoid resulting inconsistent...
One important goal of computer science, complete simulation of human has been achieved through cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence with machine learning. Process of situation awareness consists of (1) Perception to obtain necessary information (2) Comprehension of situation to identify facts for capturing situation (3) Projection to infer proper reaction to the situation. The task...
In the recent years great interest has been shown by both private organizations and independent researchers on Business Processes definition and management, which resulted in the development of several tools for their design and execution, and in proposals of standards for their formal representation, such as BPMN. At the same time, Cloud Computing solutions have reached a good level of maturity,...
Modeling languages including BPMN which is the de facto standard for business process modeling are limited to a “contemplative” modeling of their functional behavior. Its extension is necessary to allow a “productive” modeling of processes. This should facilitate their analysis, verification and automatic implementation. In this article, we analyze the related approaches proposed in this area. The...
Exact document interpretation is very important to semantic document exchange. An essential issue for document interpretation is to maintain semantic consistency of the exchanged documents between any two autonomous business communities, where the document sender and receiver have no misunderstanding in using the exchanged documents. Existing approaches to resolving this issue adopt document standards...
Information Audit use methods and CAATTS (Computer-Assisted Audit Techniques) to capture, analyze and evaluate organizational information assets, in regular or continuous basis. However, does not exist a widespread adoption of CAATTs and the CAATTs normally does not use a kind of model that allows to capture the structure and semantic of information as part of the data capture process to audit. Based...
In this paper, we propose a semantic and contextual workflow annotation framework for B2B integration. This annotation framework allows the detection of heterogeneities occurring between inter-organizational workflows and enables their correction through mediation services provided through a Cloud-based B2Bi (Business-to-Business integration) platform. This work describes also, the general architecture...
With increasing adoption of Internet and various social media technologies by companies, the web has become a rich source of information about many aspects of organizational activities. Hence one input towards gathering competitive intelligence is to mine the text sources available on the web for any particular company and use the summarized version of that information for strategic decision making...
The creation of value-added services by automatic composition of existing ones is gaining significant momentum as the potential silver bullet in service-oriented computing. A large number of composition methods have been proposed, and most of them are based on the matching of input and output parameters of services only. However, most services in the real world are not universally applicable, and...
Business transactions between companies are more and more executed by a flow of well-defined electronic business documents. The resulting inter-organizational business processes are often realized by concepts known from service-oriented computing. Exchanging a business document corresponds to a service call and the input/output of the service calls commonly follows a certain business document standard...
As software engineers create and evolve information systems to support business practices, these engineers need to address constraints imposed by laws, regulations and policies that govern those business practices. Requirements modeling can be used to extract important legal constraints from laws, and decide how, and evaluate if an information system design complies to applicable laws. To advance...
In implementing good financial management and to be able to maintain the result of the audit report that Padjadjaran University (Unpad) has financial statement with state fair without exception (Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian (WTP)), Unpad should be able to improve the management of financial information to produce quality information. To produce this quality information Unpad should be integrated the exisisting...
A new information technology for the automation of e-business processes is proposed. It consists of: a simple ontology (as the fields of application semantics) in the form of document types (XSD) and the types of services, simple protocol for the service arrangement, the new architecture of electronic business services associated with the arrangement protocol, distributed planning using the arrangement,...
Standardized business documents are a prerequisite for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). One predominant standards family are the Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and Transport (EDIFACT) formats created and maintained by the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business. However, EDIFACT formats are currently specified in a textual manner where semantic...
We present the practical context, design rationale and application basics of a domain ontology capturing industry standards for defining, controlling and auditing IT Governance.
We present a semantic interoperability framework to represent Clinical Pathways (CP) as business process workflows represented using Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). We take a knowledge management approach whereby we represent CP as a CP ontology. To represent a CP as a process workflow we have developed a high-level semantic mapping between the CP ontology and the BPMN ontology. The ontology...
eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is a language for the electronic communication of business and financial data, which can offer more efficiency and improved accuracy to suppliers and users of the data. But heterogeneous XBRL taxonomies hinder the interoperability. This paper first gives structural heterogeneity based on Ontology, then analyzes the structural conflictions between one taxonomy...
Discovery is the task of locating (Web) Services by means of their semantic annotation. Semantic Web Services (SWS) annotate semantic information about their functionality through capability descriptions (e.g. WSMO, OWL-S). Many approaches of automatic discovery and composition of business services take advantage from SWS. However, discovery and composition of general services or discovery based on...
With the rapid developing of Network and the increasing in the number of goods online, the e-catalogs plays the more and more important role in e-commerce. Base on many standards and data resource, e-catalog has the problems of numerous related concepts, different standards, low integrated degree, and query and search cannot meet the requirements of intelligent and personalized service. The project...
