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...
Provenance is the ”chronology of the ownership, custody or location of a historical object”. This term was initially relevant in the works of art and archeology but now finds use in other fields of science and information technology. Provenance is valuable in authenticating the value of an object. In the context of Information Technology, data provenance holds the history of the data item of how it...
This paper briefly introduces the Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and discusses the performance of the architecture. The pattern is separated from the business by modifying the behavior of modifying (adding, deleting, modifying the system state) and querying (without modifying the system state), making the logic clearer and easier to target different parts Optimization, and finally...
With the growing popularity of data-intensive services on the Internet, the traditional process-centric model for business process meets challenges due to the lack of abilities to describe data semantics and dependencies, resulting in the inflexibility of the design and implement for the processes. This paper proposes a novel data-aware business process model which is able to describe both explicit...
Since the rise of low-cost airline, air transportation has become one of the most popular trends in travelling over the world. This factor makes the competition in airline industry very intense. From airline market report, it showed that the revenue growth rate in the airline industry has been increasing over 30% in the last few years. For this reason, many airline brands seek for good strategies...
The field of non-biological ecosystem studies is riddled with different kind of ecosystems, connections and relations of which are rarely discussed. For example, the field of software ecosystems is influenced by both natural and business ecosystems, as studies have identified a strong inspiration from both. In this study, we survey the ecosystem literature and identify how different types of ecosystems...
The aim of our study is to investigate ERP project critical success factors (CSFs) with a focus on higher education institutes (HEIs). We conducted a systematic literature review to identify specific CSFs affecting HEIs' project outcome. Building on these results, we led several interviews within selected German HEIs. Overall, there is little literature dealing with the HEIs' CSFs, but nearly all...
The paper proposes a methodology for the development of a marketing decision support system using Big Data technology and data mining techniques. The approach was inspired by the CRISP-DM methodology, which is not oriented towards Big Data projects. Therefore, we have modified this methodology with respect to the purpose and technological requirements of the project. The proposed methodology was tested...
Contemporary tools aimed at information system (IS) development often use models to generate system implementation. Starting from an IS model, these tools commonly generate database implementation schema as well as code for generic CRUD operations of business applications. On the other hand, at the level of platform-independent models (PIMs) there is a lack of support for specification of more complex...
This paper presents differential pressure based flow configuration software implemented using FDT2 technology. FDT2 is a latest version of FDT standard (IEC62453) which is useful for configuration, monitoring, diagnosis and asset management of field device. Using FDT2 technology, client server system for flow configuration will be achieved keeping the interoperability of host system. The original...
Effective presentation skills can help to succeed in business, career and academy. This paper presents the design of speech assessment during the oral presentation and the algorithm for speech evaluation based on criteria of optimal intonation. As the pace of the speech and its optimal intonation varies from language to language, developing an automatic identification of language during the presentation...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are large scale integrated systems covering most of the business processes of an enterprise. ERP projects differ from software projects with customization, modification, integration and data conversion phases. Most of the time effort and time estimations are performed in an ad-hoc fashion in ERP projects and as a result they frequently suffer from time and...
As the complexity of the launching vehicle increases, using fault diagnosis method to improve reliability becomes more and more important. CBR (case-based reasoning) method is frequently used in prognostic and health management systems. The launching vehicle system has many subsystems. In order to apply CBR method to these various subsystems, a CBR system based on Java and MySQL database is designed...
Green IT is a concept about wisely, efficiently, and environmentally technology (IT) usage or adoption that exists due to the negative impacts of technology (IT) growth. There are some examples about Green IT applications that are used by the organization (firm) as the support tools of its business processes such as Paperless Office (PLO), E-Meeting, Remote System, and Cloud Computing. Although Green...
This paper investigates the impact of the database layer on the scaling actions of the business layer of a 3-tier web service system in cloud resource provisioning. The research question is "What is the impact of the database layer on the business layer auto-scaling decisions?" In this work two hypotheses are tested: 1) "Database tier capacity has no effect on the business tier scaling...
Cyberspace offers users and information communication systems the opportunity to interact with each other for business. Data, as the carrier of information, represents the processing content of different business work. In order to improve the quality of data, data cleaning plays an important role in various cyberspace scenarios, such as RFID and sensor, ETL process etc. This paper presents a survey...
With the development of mobile Internet and FinTech (Financial Technology), clients are raising their expectations for online banking systems. They now expect bank information system to provide sustained services with high quality and require the online banking system to manage various operational risks. Existing research on the construction of highly available systems mainly solves the problems how...
In this paper we propose a new internationalization model for databases. This model is intended to enable the internationalization (i18n) in a database, thus facilitating the work of both the database developer as well as the translator which performs its localization (l10n). The use of this model should reduce the developer's effort and allow the translator not to worry about application implementation...
A business process (BP or workflow) is an assembly of tasks to accomplish a business goal. Business process management (BPM) aims to provide support for the design, configuration/implementation, enactment and monitoring, diagnose/analysis, and re-design of workflow. Business analytics or intelligence (BI) is a necessary step towards re-design/improvement. The traditional methodology for BI is the...
The paper presents an ICT system that supports medical staff's activity, monitoring and assessing the treatment. Based on it, the MDs may decide the most effective treatments. The ICT system consists of a web-based application in the cloud, named Obstetrics-Gynecology Department Information System (OGD IS). The OGD IS described in this paper is a new version and includes the Statistical Component...
