Modern techniques widely applied in data mining, including computational intelligence and machine learning, have been fairly neglected in process mining. We conducted an exploratory study to use artificial neural networks to extract knowledge from an unstructured process in the distance learning domain. We discuss some possible benefits and limitations regarding the mining of unstructured processes...
We describe an approach to the representation of requirements using answer set programming and how this leads to a vision for the role of artificial intelligence techniques in software engineering with a particular focus on adaptive business systems. We outline how the approach has developed over several years through a combination of commercial software development and artificial intelligence research,...
with the widely application of information technology in the coal mining industry, the number of information systems has grown significantly. However, how to take advantage of the information fully from those heterogeneous systems to provide an integrated service has become a barrier to the development of mine. Meanwhile, the scope of the information services in coal mine is so limited that only those...
Graduated Granulation is an important feature of fuzzy logic system. It is used to imitate the process of human interpretation and assimilation of knowledge, given an uncertain situation with imprecise data at hand. Spatial locations are an important factor attributing to the success of business activities. The business prospers or perishes depending upon the way it handles its data for making smart...
ISISEMD project aims to provide a pilot of intelligent system to support independent living of persons with cognitive problems or mild dementia. The primary user of the system is the elderly but the services are also designed to support caregivers and relatives in patients daily care. Services and user scenario are analyzed together with four end-user organizations that participate in the project...
Requirements engineering (RE) for self-adaptive systems (SAS) is an emerging research area. The key features of such systems are to be aware of the changes in both their operating and external environments, while simultaneously remaining aware of their users' goals and preferences. This is accomplished by evaluating such changes and adapting to a suitable alternative that can satisfy those changes...
In the era of Internet-based services, companies increasingly use Web technologies to interact. To automate electronic exchanges between businesses, the classical approach it to define beforehand a common interacting protocol that must be strictly followed at runtime. This imposes a costly design time and a constrained runtime. Our goal is to propose an intermediary multi-agent platform that allows...
Autonomic network management is viewed as the capability of network entities to self-government, which frees IT professionals from time-consuming and tedious configuration tasks. Hence, IT professionals can focus on high level management (business goals, for example). In this paper, we propose an approach of agent-based architecture for autonomic networking on the basis of Motorola's FOCALE architecture...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) raise the interest of multiple business domains . Their ability to monitor and control large physical environment made them very attractive for many application domains. Nevertheless, Wireless Sensor Networks encounter several technical obstacles, which may hinder their integration within business applications. Considering the fact that Wireless Sensor Networks produce...
Detecting complex patterns in event streams, i.e., complex event processing (CEP), has become increasingly important for modern enterprises to react quickly to critical situations. In many practical cases business events are generated based on pre-defined business logics. Hence constraints, such as occurrence and order constraints, often hold among events. Reasoning using these known constraints enables...
Due to the continuously growing possibilities provided by technology and its wider application, today's IT products are becoming more and more complex both from technical and managerial standpoints. Very often, multiple parties are involved in their development. Consequently, the organization of the integration and testing of these products gets increasingly complex. Organisations already encounter...
Compliance management (CM) is the management process that an organization implements to ensure organizational compliance with relevant requirements and expectations. Compliance auditing (CA) is a child-process of CM where compliance rules and policies are individually checked against the organization to determine the level of compliance achieved by the organization. In this paper, we arrange organizational...
An important issue to the adoption of any enterprise architectural approach is the availability of tools to support the development, storage, presentation, analysis, improvement and evolution of enterprise architecture representations. As with enterprise architecture methodologies, enterprise architecture tools to support the architectural development process are still emerging. Most important software...
We developed a quality of service (QoS) management system to support service level management (SLM) for global enterprise services. The QoS management system is integrated with one of our enterprise services in a preproduction system, an identical system as the production system but in a test environment. Lab experiments showed that our integrated solution helps global enterprise services to better...
