Integration of Spatial processing and knowledge Processing through the Semantic Web Stack
2011
International audience; This paper presents the integration process of spatial technologies and Semantic Web technologies and its associated tool. The result of this work is a spatial query and rule engine of spatial. To do so, existing ontology with spatial elements is adjusted in order to process the spatial knowledge through spatial technologies. This paper outlines the methods and the processes of these adjustments and how results are returned by our tool. The SWRL and the SPARQL language are extended for spatial purpose and the existing OWL ontology wine is used as an application example.
A Speech Act Based Model for Analyzing Cooperative Work in Office Information Systems
1990
In this paper we present the SAMPO-approach for modelling and analyzing office information systems. We emphasize the collective features of office work and the role of communications in coordinating the collective efforts. The approach is based on the language action view where language is seen as a means of doing things. The approach also accepts the fact that collective work includes both harmony and conflict and tries to capture both of these features.
Perspectives for Globalized Natural Medicines
2011
Natural medicines provide valuable resources to meet the requirements for global health care at affordable prices. Therefore, safety and efficacy need to be proven in a comparable manner to conventional drugs. Evidence-based natural and western medicine may merge to a “one-world medicine” for the sake of all patients in industrialized and developing countries. In the present review, we discuss strategies for (1) preservation of traditional knowledge on natural medicines, (2) sustainability of medicinal herbs and natural products, and (3) standardization and quality control. Novel technologies will impact research on natural medicines in the years to come, e.g. remote sensing to map medicina…
Requirement analysis abstractions for AmI system design
2015
Current trends in the AI’s evolution are going towards enriching environments with intelligence in order to support humans in their everyday life. AmI systems are plunged in the real world and humans expect to interact with them in a way that is similar to the one they have with other humans. In this kind of systems, where eliciting requirements involves several documents and stakeholders (mainly users that will be the first consumers of the system), the requirement analysis phase can be affected by incomplete, ambiguous and imprecise information. Hence, the need to find a fruitful way for knowledge management and its representation at design time. In this paper we propose a set of abstract…
A Knowledge Management and Decision Support Model for Enterprises
2011
We propose a novel knowledge management system (KMS) for enterprises. Our system exploits two different approaches for knowledge representation and reasoning: a document-based approach based on data-driven creation of a semantic space and an ontology-based model. Furthermore, we provide an expert system capable of supporting the enterprise decisional processes and a semantic engine which performs intelligent search on the enterprise knowledge bases. The decision support process exploits the Bayesian networks model to improve business planning process when performed under uncertainty. Copyright © 2011 Patrizia Ribino et al.
Jubilación parcial y contrato de relevo: regulación y prospectiva
2022
En el marco de la “sociedad del bienestar” los Estados deben procurar acomodar la transición hacia la jubilación proveyendo a sus ciudadanos de vías efectivas, diversas y adaptadas a sus condiciones e intereses. Así pues, ante una “economía del conocimiento” donde las competencias profesionales de los recursos humanos de un país u organización adquieren un valor estratégico en términos de competitividad, resulta pertinente analizar el régimen jurídico de la jubilación parcial y del contrato de relevo.Respecto de dichas instituciones, en este trabajo se discuten sus distintas finalidades, incidiendo en su viabilidad y utilidad como fórmula adecuada al fin de transmitir bidireccionalmente las…
Informative model for national development management
2010
Strategic planning experience shows the major problem of the national planning system - plan- ning documents are faintly intercorrelative (including aspects "from long-term to short-term" and "from general to concrete"), as well non-linked with managing and implementing institutions (public sector func- tions and services) and budgetary appropriation. It creates huge barriers to carry out plans. Structurization of all system's objects in logical units and determination of strict interrelations between them is the pro- posed solution of the problem. Informative model of planning system have to be developed as depository of logical units and their interlinkage. It becomes possible to manage i…
Information systems and strategy design
1999
Abstract Strategic thinking forms a wide-ranking, complex area of thought. It also seems to be an extremely interesting and important field in both management practice and literature. Recently, the areas that the different functions (like accounting, marketing, production and information systems) of firm and strategic thinking have in common have been lively discussed. In this paper, the applicability of information systems thinking to strategic thinking is outlined. For that purpose, three modes of strategy-making are explicated: strategy-making as management process, as game-playing and as leadership. In each of these three modes, the strategy design phase and especially the essentials of…
Intellectual evolution of strategic management and its relationship with ethics and social responsibility
2006
The main purpose here is to present an overview of the historical development of strategic management, through a critical review of the most relevant theoretical proposals, and to consider its links to ethics and corporate social responsibilities. From the very beginning of strategic management thought attempts have been made to fuse ethical aspects such as values of senior management or social values or social expectations to strategic management. More recently the stakeholder view of the firm has permitted the introduction of ethical theories into strategic management, and the resources-based view of the firm has lead to the consideration of competences, including moral virtues. Here it i…
A strategic needs perspective on operations outsourcing and other inter-firm relationships
2013
Abstract This paper considers two issues: the formation of inter-firm relationships, and the choice of governance form. These have been widely investigated in both the strategic management and operations management fields. This paper contributes to the literature in three ways. First, we address why firms enter inter-firm relationships by hypothesizing that managers enter them to pursue three strategic needs, that is: efficiency/effectiveness, knowledge/learning, and global market access. Our first contribution evidences the relationship between the above strategic needs and a number of operational objectives that managers normally pursue in an inter-firm relationship. Second, we hypothesiz…
