Process models describe graphically, events, activities, control flow and dataflow logic that constitute a business process. Nevertheless most graphical modeling notations required by organization stakeholders such as BPMN, are not provided with a formal semantics, limiting the possibility of analysis to informal approaches such as observation techniques. While most of the existing formal approaches...
Conventional models of document cycling for periodic report writing in large organizations limit what is represented to the final stages of document manufacturing, such as drafting and editing, usually within an annual timeframe. This paper proposes a model of document cycling that represents a more diverse range of work activities across a broader range of timeframes, from hourly to annual. These...
Amongst today turbulent business environment, innovation is considered as a main source of an organization competitive advantage. In higher education environment, especially in the private university, innovation has also received considerable concern as a major contributor in securing sustainable competitive edge in the marketplace. As a result, a number of factors have been introduced to enhance...
Terrorist organizations are not completely independent, however, they frequently interact with each other. Emerging researches have studied the consequence and influential factors of these relationships. But there have rarely been given precise empirical analysis on its interactive strength and effectiveness. Social Network Analysis (SNA) is considered as an effective method to quantify and analyze...
The author analyses classification of the methods for evaluation of an enterprise's innovative potential. According to the author, the most effective model taking into account the uncertainty factor is the model based on the theory of fuzzy sets. The model has obvious advantages in comparison with the expert and statistical methods of evaluation, since it allows us to minimize the evaluation errors...
Data became a major need in current society as the data must be accurate and valid. However, the organization usually faces data problem, such as data duplication, inaccuracy, incomplete, invalid, unavailability, etc. These problems have occurred at a government agency X in Jakarta, which one of its main tasks is serving society through providing public information. The organizations need to perform...
The generation is defined as a group of individuals who were born in the same birth ranges, which at that time had formed the uniqueness of the experience, history or the same era. The rapidly evolving technological developments lead to Generation X (1956–1980) having different perspectives, thoughts, ideas in using information technology to complete its work. This study aims to the relationship between...
With the passage of time the needs of an organization grow, therefore, the operational work and responsibilities are also grown. That is why there is a need of hiring more employees. Calculating salaries of many employees requires a lot of work and chances of occurring errors also increase. Automatic Payroll Processing System (APPS) simplifies the work by reducing errors and saving the time. In this...
Product certification adds to its cost. Nowadays there is a stiff competition between certification bodies, and it seems necessary to view certification not only as cost-adding, but also as value-adding. The only way to achieve that is to use certification experts' experience. Since field certification is limited in time, it is desirable to determine audit criteria adequately and to focus experts'...
ArchiMate is a widely adopted enterprise architecture modeling language that includes the "service" construct as a key structuring element across its enterprise layers. A previous analysis of the use of this construct within ArchiMate's business layer concluded that it fails to represent some important social aspects associated with the dynamics of service relations, which led to recommendations...
The structure of organizations impact their performances. Here, we present a framework based on enterprise architecture to analyze the impact organization structure has on flexibility and coordination within an organization. The framework incorporates organization structure theories by Henry Mintzberg using the Object Constraint Language (OCL) and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in the modeling...
Developing complex systems can be simplified if the designer is guided by a method from Software Engineering. Currently, Agent Oriented Software Engineering methods aim at providing an adaptive engineering process. The method processes have been broken up into different parts called fragments, enabling the mix of different engineering processes' parts to get better adequacy between the system to be...
This paper describes a business-oriented analysis environment facilitating analyses of coherent data from Data Warehouses (DWs) and Linked Open Data (LOD) datasets. Specifically, we present a multidimensional modeling solution, named Unified Cube, which provides a single, comprehensive representation of data from multiple sources. Unified Cubes include both concepts close to business terms and user-friendly...
In order to have a competitive software industry, it is essential to adopt standards and reference models of software processes quality. However, despite the growing adoption of standards and models, the number of organizations that adopt these is a small portion of the total population of software organizations. This paper presents a tool to support the implementation of decision analysis and resolution...
The quality of Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) is important to gain a competitive advantage in the software industry. Although the use of agile methods has grown in recent years, empirical studies conducted in industry identified several problems related to SRS in the context of agile projects. The goal of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of the quality of SRS in Agile Software...
In order to establish the best practices to instruct the definition of processes and support organizational assessment of the maturity and capability level, quality models and standards guide several Software Process Improvement initiatives. Nonetheless, despite these initiatives, the best practices application in Brazilian public organizations is impaired by various obstacles regarding the process...
Changes in social networks may reflect an underlying significant events or behaviors within an organization. Detecting these changes effectively and efficiently could have the potential to enable the early warning, and faster response to both positive and negative organizational activities. In this paper, we use a genetic algorithm based back propagation (GABP) neural network model to quantitatively...
In the paper, the impacts on project information space on analytical data basis are analyzed and distinguished. There are scientifically justified the interactions of factors' groups, which cause impacts on the project team and the success of the project. Here is presented estimation method of joint action of impacts' groups on the reaction in project management systems; desirable combinations of...
Education helps people develop as individuals. It not only helps build social skills but also enhances the problem solving and decision making skills of individuals. With the growing number of schools, colleges and universities around the globe, education now has taken new dimension. The main focus of higher Educational Institutes is to improve the overall quality and effectiveness of education. Predicting...
We propose a model to represent graphically the impact of cyber events (e.g., attacks, countermeasures) as a prismatic instance of n-sides. The approach considers information about all entities composing an information system (e.g., users, IP addresses, resources, etc.), as well as information about the attacker's knowledge, motivation and capabilities. The base of the prism is represented as an n-side...
