The increasing adoption of health information technologies in the United States accelerates their potential to facilitate beneficial studies that combine large, complex data sets from multiple sources. The process of de-identification, by which identifiers are removed from the health information, mitigates privacy risks to individuals and thereby supports the secondary use of data for comparative...
To increase flexibility, object-aware process management systems enable data-driven process execution and dynamic generation of form-based tasks at run-time. Therefore, a powerful access control concept becomes necessary to define which data elements users may read or write at a given point in time during process execution. The access control concept we present in this paper has been realized in the...
Docker has been widely adopted in enterprise-level container environment. As an important part of Docker-based container ecosystem, Docker Registry provides the service of storing, distributing and managing Docker images, which is crucial to run Docker containers. In large-scale container platforms, deploying applications is prone to overburdening Docker Registry with flooding network traffic, and...
The worldwide installation of Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) access network solutions is hindered by the high upfront cost of deploying ubiquitous fiber infrastructure. While passive optical networks can provide lower cost compared to point-to-point solutions, their total cost of ownership is still high for most operators to justify a mass scale deployment. Sharing passive optical network (PON) infrastructure...
Model-based simulation and monitoring are becoming part of advanced learning environments. In this paper, we propose a model-based simulation and monitoring framework for management of learning assessment and we describe its architecture and main functionalities. The proposed framework allows user-friendly learning simulation with a strong support for collaboration and social interactions. Moreover,...
In model-driven learning, simulation of Business Process is a key step for improving the learners's skills and enhancing teaching performance. In this paper, we provide the architectural design and the main functionalities of a model-based learning simulation framework. The main objectives of the proposed framework are: i) enable user-friendly learning simulation with a strong support for collaboration...
The improvement in quality of services offered by educational institutions is one of the main challenges of the modern education informatics. The personalization of educational process requires adaptive learning schemes since the student status and conditions inside an institution constantly change. In this paper, we present the EDUC8 (EDUCATE) system, which aims at providing a new approach concerning...
This paper proposes a system integrating device manager, IoT Solution, and Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) tools. With these tools, domain expert can draw the process with specifying how to connect devices all together. Moreover, domain expert can specify what kind of device is needed instead of explicitly specifying which device is needed, which addresses the IoT feature, mobility. This...
Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) are a type of middleware that enables the execution of automated business processes. Users rely on WfMSs to construct flexible and easily maintainable software systems. Significant effort has been invested into standardising languages for business processes execution, with standards such as the Web Services Business Process Execution Language 2.0 or the Business...
Rule Engines have been widely used both in industry and academia since they can separate rule knowledge from implementation logic conveniently and flexibly. However, traditional rule engine systems can not deal with big data, because of the limitations of memory and computing capacity of one single computer. Consequently, some researchers have proposed distributed rule engine to meet this challenge...
Enterprise integration is one of the crucial challenges faced by modern organizations. Existing effort to define Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs) helps organizations to build their integration processes. An EIP represents a regularity in mobile agent behavior designs. In a complex distributed environment, such as mobile context, EIPs are a large number of patterns that describes the interactions...
The aim of this work is to design and build a pilot agile educational extension for a virtual laboratory, CyberLabTrainSystem. We identified and designed a virtual laboratory educational extesnsion that is based on Business Rule Engine (BRE) and Business process model and Notation (BPMN). The output is a web portal, which allows a teacher to easily implement educational methodologies, curricula and...
Business analytics is an important means of gaining new insights and understanding of business performance. Data mining technology provides information needed by business analytics based on data. But due to the barriers of skill, resource and cost, business analytics is hard to carry out and put into practice for small and even medium sized enterprises. This paper presents a novel concept named Highly...
Nowadays organizations are becoming even more focused on their business processes (BP) and in addition increasing interest in goal-oriented BP. Traditional BP simulation approaches consider BP as a pre-defined sequence of activities, limiting possibilities to adapt a process model to changes occurring in the business environment. To be able to use dynamic BP in simulation we need an approach, which...
In looking for a hotel, it is common to access a list of hotels matching a query which is arranged in a descending order of the average evaluation value. Since such a list does not reflect the preference of users, for many inexperienced users, it takes too long to determine a hotel. In this paper, we focus on the evaluation values given by contributors whose preferences are similar to the user's preference...
Cloud computing and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are emerging as key technologies to overcome the challenges facing 4G and beyond mobile systems. Over the last few years, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) has gained momentum and has become more widely adopted throughout IT enterprises. It simplifies the applications provisioning and accelerates time-to-market while lowering costs. Telco can leverage...
This project documents the livelihood of the boatbuilders, in Pangkor Island, Perak, Malaysia. The traditional process of building a boat is a heritage practice that could disappear due to the many issues it currently faces. These traditional boatbuilders do not have a specific blueprint for each boat and these boats are of the classification of 65 to 120 tonnes each based on its license by Department...
Currently, the e-commerce platforms or websites are designed such that users search for products and they are not "store centric" rather product centric. Browsing products over such websites does not add any value to the stores. The below abstract shows the method and system of a Visual Commerce Engine. In this system, stores can come online and showcase their products and improve their...
Online Analytics Processing (OLAP) is utilised to develop multidimensional operations enabling queries and visualisation for Business Intelligence (BI). Most of the OLAP systems come with a tightly integrated user interface for querying and visualisation of data without the core OLAP operations exposed as an API. Advanced BI applications can be developed and composed to create complex workflows if...
This paper presents a general approach for automatic composing mashups of applications distributed over the cloud. The approach implies to wrap existing services in smart and autonomic entities, namely cloud capabilities. These are able to interact and coordinate themselves in order to establish different ways to orchestrate their contained services. The main enabler of this technology is based on...
