Hybrid Simulation comes in many shapes and forms. It has been argued by many researchers that Hybrid Simulation (HS) provides more and better insights into the real-life system as it allows modelers to assess its inherent problems from different dimensions. As a result HS is becoming an important field within the Modeling and Simulation arena. Yet we find that there is no clear and/or cohesive definition...
Current teaching methods in business schools such as case studies, instructor-led teaching, and corporate internships have come under increasing scrutiny and questioning in the recent years. In response to the sense that these pedagogical approaches may no longer be working, newer student-centric approaches such as using serious games as a pedagogical tool have been gaining prominence. However, there...
In this paper we present a hybrid modeling approach which supports the continuous alignment of business and IT in the cloud. Business Process as a Service provides the end-to-end cloud support for business processes instead of single applications. A graphical modelling environment allows non-technical modelers to design business processes and to specify requirements in human-interpretable way. Via...
Starts from the characteristics of the smart distribution and utilization system(SDUS), typical and representative applications are summarized for further research. The comprehensive benefit analysis model of SDUS from the perspective of the entire society, taking the battery-energy storage system (BESS), distributed generation (DG), charging and exchanging station, micro grid and smart home into...
The problem which companies want to face is the integration of the applications in an information system (IS) and the interconnection of the system itself with other information systems. The interoperability of IS constitutes, their ability to communicate and to inter-operate following a given model using a common language favoring the sharing of information for better performance and profitability...
Traditional business process modeling languages use an imperative style to specify all possible execution flows, leaving little flexibility to process operators. Such languages are appropriate for low-complexity, high-volume, mostly automated processes. However, they are inadequate for case management, which involves low-volume, high- complexity, knowledge-intensive work processes of today's knowledge...
Resources play an important role in technological innovation. To some extent, the process of innovation is how to use and configure resources. It is impossible to find all available resources successfully by existing resources analysis method. This paper presents a new kind of resource and a new method of resource classification, analyzes the resource characteristic of technological innovations through...
The design and implementation of analytical information systems requires both technical expertise and domain knowledge, the complexity of which often deters small and medium-sized enterprises from adopting business intelligence (BI) technology. Reference models for data analysis consist of domain-specific best-practice multidimensional models and greatly facilitate the development of analytical information...
Graphical models are useful for discussing different aspects of processes, structures or requirements. The visual syntax of a standard modelling language cannot support all such aspects. There are several cases where it would be desirable to decorate the symbols in a diagram with additional visual annotations. This way, it is possible to include specific information (such as security requirements)...
Currently, Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) has becoming one of the main languages for creating a description of processes and developing executable frameworks for the management of the process itself. In this context, one important aspect of process management is the possibility of process analysis and optimization, which many times relies on real data collected during the process execution...
In recent times, the domain of automated analysis and translation of business rules formal representations is getting popular. Various approaches have been presented to translate information presentation such as natural language software requirements to formal presentations. In this paper, an approach is presented to model the DRT tool for semantic analysis for business rules. Business rules write...
Caching is a hot research topic and poised to develop into a key technology for the upcoming 5G wireless networks. However, the successful implementation of caching techniques crucially depends on joint research developments in different scientific domains such as networking, information theory, machine learning, and wireless communications. Moreover, there are business barriers related to the complex...
The deep knowledge of internal and external business processes, along with the capability of governing them, are a key requirement for enterprises to survive. In the dynamic and unpredictable worldwide market, the achievement of business goals depends on the ability of enterprises to adapt to new market conditions by promptly re-engineering their processes. The cost for process re-engineering may...
This paper proposes a complex systems approach to understand the growth and decline of Digital Businesses. Digital Businesses are characterised by unique factors such as a highly networked online customer base, where word of mouth spreads very fast, and minimal cost of incremental users due to economies of scale. Thus online businesses peak and plummet rapidly making it difficult to fathom their success...
The development of a complex software system involves many actors, whose skills and knowledge are very heterogeneous. The requirements representation made using the Business Process notations is far more understandable than the classic UML representation, at least for Business experts, as it allows to investigate the system from other points of view which are not merely connected the development of...
One of the conventional ways of dispersing information in a university or corporate office is through the Notice Board. Notice boards are an ideal platform that allows one to put up information so that it can be seen by everyone. Whenever there is a new circular to be dispersed among the students or employees, it will be immediately put up on the notice board where everyone has to manually gather...
Despite the rapid growth of social commerce, there is only a limited understanding of how social media technologies, marketers and customers can interact to achieve business initiatives and opportunities. This study develops an integrative formative model outlining key qualities and dimensions of social commerce and their interactions. The model was validated with a field survey of 1250 social commerce...
This research identifies a number of key factors related to online consumer trust and establishes a model based on the System Dynamic method to find out the relationships between these factors and trust. This paper provides several contributions. Firstly it reviews the previous works of online trust and identifies the major online trust building factors which mainly consists of business factors, consumer...
Internet affects modern daily life with its technological innovation and rapid change. Trust plays an important role in the Internet world; however, a trust relationship between the buyer and seller is abstract and difficult to quantify. In this study, we conduct literature analysis, discussing trust models provided by many scholars. Thereafter, we design new architecture regarding the trust model...
This paper presents the use of the Business Intelligence process and some of its technologies to perform monitoring and meta-monitoring actions on sensed data and physical components that compose an environmental monitoring platform. These actions are mainly related to the capture of data that are the input to carry out the support of the decision-making process in the regulation and control of environmental...
