Malfunctioning areas and various business-IT mismatches encumber the achievement of strategic alignment. This paper deals with the concept of misalignment, with special attention to enterprise architecture (EA)-based analytical potential. In this paper, an analytical solution is tested in form of a case study at a road management authority. The study proposes a rule-based framework to reveal the symptoms...
The study of cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) has attracted much attention in recent years. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no single software platform exists for researchers to perform different types of analyses for CDPRs of arbitrary structure. In this paper, the Cable-robot Analysis and Simulation Platform for Research (CASPR) of CDPRs is introduced. Using this platform, arbitrary...
Based on hardware and software integration testing and model driven testing binding requirements, we propose a model based on the needs of embedded software driver initial framework to analyze and identify the needs of embedded systems hardware and software object creation object interaction model, then the model analysis and testing constraints and on the basis of test scenarios, and then establish...
This paper presents a tool to visualize a cognitive model of human discourse processing known as Text World Theory (TWT) which is used to facilitate forensic discourse analysis. XML files are designed based on a linguistic annotation scheme. It encompasses the range of descriptive categories defined in TWT. Epicurus is a tool that can parse and visualize those XML files into HTML. The tool is designed...
The demands placed on hydrologic analyses have increased considerably in recent years. Hydrologic analyses involve numerous methods and are useful in many fields, such as agriculture, forestry and grassland farming. In order to catch information and knowledge from Digital Elevation Models (DEM), processing data step by step in software is available, which needs many manual workloads and is not convenient...
Business rules are crucial and most adaptive to their related business process. These business rules define and constrain the workflow logic of the business process. Thus, it is important to verify the business rules to ensure their correctness and consistency properties. Alternatively, the topology modeling of a workflow would be formalized into a Coloured Petri Nets. However, the business rules...
Automated test regeneration intends to ensure high coverage of the system model from an existing test suite. While regenerating test suite, most of the existing techniques ignore coverage achieved so far by existing test suite. An automatic test regeneration technique to achieve high coverage of state model is proposed in this paper which uses coverage result as well as information from UML diagrams...
The modeling and simulation (M&S) landscape for systems engineers is complex. This complexity is due to a variety of factors including the diversity of system components over a range of domains which are modeled at multiple scales using varied modeling formalisms. There is a need to chain system models developed using varying formalisms, resolutions or scales. An ideal Multiformalism, Multiresolution,...
There is an increasing awareness of the added value that efficient design of experiments can provide to simulation studies. However, many practitioners lack the proper training required to design, execute and analyze a well-designed simulation experiment. In this study, we present the initial stages of a modeldriven engineering based tool for managing simulation experiments. Underlying our approach...
A new combination of multiple Information Retrieval approaches are proposed for book recommendation based on complex users' queries. We used different theoretical retrieval models: probabilistic as InL2 (Divergence From Randomness model) and language models and tested their interpolated combination. We considered the application of a graph based algorithm in a new retrieval approach to related document...
Rigorous design of experiment (DOE) is essential to conduct validation, uncertainty quantification (UQ), and sensitivity analysis (SA) of computer simulation models. However, executing the process often involves knowledge of data management, statistical design, running simulation model, data analysis, and so on. It is a non-trivial task even for domain experts without solid computing backgrounds....
To identify crosscutting concerns in the requirement phase, this paper proposes a method for discovering crosscutting concerns based on goal model and two-state algorithm. We analyze each phenomena of goal model and summarize the identification rules. Crosscutting concerns are identified by calculating the scatter and centralization values of goals. The method includes four steps: building the goal...
Variability management is a key activity in Software Product Lines (SPL) development. To be more specific, the product selection and verification allow us to generate correct derivations. In this work we present a process, called SeVaTax, to guide the selection and validation activities -both in domain and application engineering- together with a supporting tool.
Service-Oriented Architecture is a cornerstone for the realization of the user's needs through the automatic composition of services from service descriptions and user tasks. Yet, automatic service composition processes commonly assume that Linguistic Web Service descriptions and user requests share the same abstraction level, and that services have been pre-designed to integrate. In this paper, we...
In this paper unified structure formation method (ETL) development for operative analysis of data stored in different SQL and NoSQL databases are considered. Unified structure formation method (ETL) is based on work with Map Reduce parallel model. In order to perform the method following steps should be considered: development of searching forms (pattern) for data searching in different database,...
We study analytical queries for two models of Social Networks. Firstly, a datawarehouse which can be analyzed along some OLAP schema and possible dimensions, secondly a model of streaming data which need to be transformed before they are analyzed. In the first case, the linear influence model is generalized for each possible dimensions and provides densities of influence types. In the second case,...
Web-based power systems analysis applications are delivered via web servers that run scripting languages such as PHP. The role of the web server is usually to pass results and data between a front-end web browser and specialised back-end computation software which carries out the actual simulations and analysis. More recent versions of the web scripting languages have the computational capabilities...
Sensor modeling and registration is the basis of sensor centralized management and sensor information sharing in Sensor Web. According to the SensorML standard developed by OGC, this paper proposes a user-oriented fast sensor process modeling and sensor registration method based on the in-depth analysis of the SensorML conceptual model of sensor description. With this method, all the information required...
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is becoming more important as a software delivery and service model. However, multi-tenancy, which promises to provide a high degree of resource sharing among a large number of tenants (customers or organizations), can significantly complicate SaaS development, deployment, and management due to potential explosion of co-existing tenant-specific variations. Manually configuring...
