The recommendation systems look for to offer customized products to their users. These systems identify the users preferences and the preferences of the rest of the community to the products available. This article presents a recommendation system that uses an adaptive automaton to store the relationship between resources and the users' preferences and determine the possible recommendations customized...
Extensible Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and Cloud Learning Environments (CLEs) that facilitate the lone or collaborative study of user-chosen blends of content and courses from heterogeneous sources, including Open Educational Resources (OERs), are gradually gaining ground in the landscape of distance learning. In this paper, we examine the use of ontologies for modelling and supporting learner...
International competition and dynamically changing customer demands lead SME's to join dynamically formed, `smart' enterprise networks aiming to increase their competitiveness and market share. Supporting such networks with decision making related to collaborations and providing adaptive user interfaces are key challenges. In this paper, we use furniture manufacturing SME's as a case study and we...
The integration of services into business applications within enterprise services is needed in on-premise settings as well as in upcoming on-demand enterprise settings. Today, it is typically performed in manual integration projects by highly skilled integration experts on the consumer side. As consumers demand flexible and adaptable enterprise systems with lower total cost of ownership (TCO), enterprise...
Developing process-oriented enterprise systems not only asks for Business Process Management (BPM) but also for an appropriate user interface and data model. Current BPM and workflow technologies are neither integrated with user dialogs nor offer an appropriate data model. This paper describes a novel integrated framework for modeling process-oriented systems called Processes with User Interfaces...
This mobile commerce has become a research hotspot in recent years for its commercial value and technical maturity. While more and more service providers participating in mobile commerce promote its popularity, problem called "spam recommendation" decreases users' satisfaction. Therefore, efficient mechanisms should be adopted to improve quality of recommendation. In this paper, a recommendation...
The rapid evolutions of software environment and business requirements place a high demand on the adaptiveness of enterprise information systems (EIS). Over the last few years, more and more EIS adopted the distributed multi-tiered Web-based application architecture. Crosscutting concerns and clone codes make the web-based EIS difficult to evolve and maintain. The traditional model-view-controller...
Crosscutting concerns and clone codes make the Web-based enterprise information system (EIS) difficult to evolve and maintain. The traditional model-view-controller (MVC) model imposes design-level restrictions that give a clean separation between the presentation, functional and control concerns. However it does not modularize the structure crosscutting concerns. In this paper, we propose a novel...
The web-based service composition, e.g. mashup, is becoming a popular style to reuse Web services. From the perspective of reuse, existing work has limitations on qualifying whether the service or the service composition satisfies user requirements and adapting the service or composition according to the qualification results. For addressing these limitations, this paper proposes an on-the-fly approach...
The construction industry has been facing a paradigm shift to (i) increase; productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality and sustainability, (ii) reduce; lifecycle costs, lead times and duplications, via effective collaboration and communication of stakeholders in construction projects. Digital construction is a political initiative to address low productivity in the sector. This seeks...
In this experience report we present Business Process Illustration, a technique supporting experience-grounded validation of new business processes by subject matter experts.
We present features of an education system entirely based on a 7-months project, performed by a 6-students team within a virtual company and tutored by an experimented software engineer. We describe some aspects of a past project: functions of the system, technology, deliverables, and assessment. Students' outcomes are drafted in term of roles.
