Automation testing framework enables the complete automation of the entire testing process in a software development life cycle. This research paper will mainly focus on a new hybrid automation testing framework called GRAFT - Generic & Reusable Automation Framework which supports cross browser testing.
Simple Temporal Networks (STNs) are used in many applications, as they provide a powerful and general tool for representing conjunctions of maximum delay constraints over ordered pairs of temporal variables. We introduce Hyper Temporal Networks (HyTNs), a strict generalization of STNs, to overcome the limitation of considering only conjunctions of constraints. In a Hyper Temporal Network a single...
The NFC-App service plays an important part in farm-based tourism. We report a hybrid ontology knowledge integration method for practical NFC-App service evaluation. The NFC service, managerial factors and cultivation processes are treated as respective local ontologies. Relationship between different ontologies and classes are drive from their data property and managerial meaning. Iteration group...
One of the main weaknesses of the concept of alignment between business and information technology (IT) process and functions in enterprises is that it is abstract, difficult to actualize and harder to sustain. The misalignment between business and IT can be attributed to many factors. Two key factors that stand out are the knowledge and cultural gaps between these functions and the perception that...
Big data has been around a long time,' said Byron Banks, VP of big data for SAP. 'Now with social media, the Internet of Things, sensor data, mobile devices -- new big data has transformed the business.' While in industry a new generation of products and services dealing with big data arise, it has also raised many fundamental research challenges and open issues in the context of BPM and existing...
The first workshop on compliance, evolution, and security in cross-organizational processes (CeSCoP 2014) is held in conjunction with the 18th IEEE International Enterprise Computing Conference (EDOC 2014), in Ulm, Germany. The workshop purpose is to offer a portal for researchers and practitioners to discuss and contribute research on cross-organizational processes. The CeSCoP 2014 program includes...
This preface provides a brief overview of the Third International Workshop on Adaptive Case Management and other Non-workflow Approaches to BPM (AdaptiveCM) held in conjunction with EDOC 2014. The preface introduces the workshop goals, lists the accepted papers and acknowledges the great efforts of PC and other individuals who worked for this event to happen.
This section of the volume contains the proceedings of the 3M4SE 2014 workshop, held on September 1-2, 2014, in Ulm, Germany, in conjunction with the 18th IEEE International EDOC Conference on Enterprise Computing, EDOC 2014.
Business process models have gained significant importance due to their critical role for managing business processes.Still, process models display a wide range of quality problems. For example, literature reports on error rates between 10% and20% in industrial process model collections. Most research in the context of quality issues in process models puts a strongemphasis on the product or outcome...
With the continuous development in the IT new technologies like Cloud Computing, Big data have emerged and found its application in almost every area including education sector. Cloud computing delivers many services like platform as a service, Infrastructure as a service but the software as a service has made a tremendous impact in the software industry. Today education is considered to be one of...
In the following work we analyze how the negotiation support systems could assist the parties in reaching an integrative agreement. It is analyzed if the electronic systems could enable overcoming the problem of insufficient information and with it, imperfect solution. The same would be the case in eliminating human error and extending the negotiators' limited calculation possibilities. The number...
Business logs on information systems have greatly improved business efficiency. Log records can be easily found by keyword search if we only know right keywords. Further efficiency may be achieved by a system that automatically shows log records in the past related to what the user is currently doing or what is likely to happen in the near future even if the user does not notice their existence. In...
Artifact consists of information model and lifecycle. Artifact lifecycle defined by the business departments according to business rules and other relative constraints are used for business's compliance checks and process's real-time monitoring, so how to construct artifact lifecycle model is crucial, it can be used to judge the violations in the business process. In this paper, we adopt FSM (Finite-State-Machine)...
We investigate how storytelling techniques might support students in writing final papers. We suggest a new structure and a new process for student paper production, borrowed from creative writing. We argue that adopting this approach might improve the quality of scientific student papers, increase the satisfaction of writing them and the pleasure of reading them. To test our assumptions we outline...
Knowledge discovery has been driven by theory, experiments and by large-scale simulations on high-performance computers. Modern experiments and simulations involving satellites, high-throughput instruments, sensors, and supercomputers yield massive amounts of data. What has changed recently is that the world is creating massive amounts of data at an astonishing pace and diversity. Concurrently, social...
Existing approaches of social influence analysis usually focus on how to develop effective algorithms to quantize users' influence scores. They rarely consider a person's expertise levels which are arguably important to influence measures. In this paper, we propose a computational approach to measuring the correlation between expertise and social media influence, and we take a new perspective to understand...
Facebook and LINE are the two popular social media in Taiwan. This research aims to understand users' behavior(features) and strong/weak ties within the social network as well as if users have been drifted on two social media. We used social network analysis (UCINET) to analyze the features of users and the motivation of drifting on two platforms. Three indicators were also used: degree centrality,...
This study contended that the largest difference between continuance intention and general behavior intention depends on the existence of satisfaction with the confirmation of the ex post expectations about the products or services. The factors of attraction of online game design, trust, perceived risk, and social motives were proposed to have associations with both satisfaction with and continuance...
Context: The use of defect taxonomies and their assignment to requirements can improve system-level testing of requirements. Experiences from industrial applications indicate that the type of the underlying top-level defect categories constitutes the main influence factor for defining defect taxonomies. Objective: The objective addressed in this paper is to investigate the influence of the type of...
