Aspects and Potentiality of Unconventional Modelling of Processes in Sporting Events
1999
This paper describes how inexact processes as presented in sporting events can be recorded, analysed, and evaluated by means of neural networks and fuzzy modelling.
Integrated Tool for Assisted Predictive Analytics
2021
Organizations use predictive analysis in CRM (customer relationship management) applications for marketing campaigns, sales, and customer services, in manufacturing to predict the location and rate of machine failures, in financial services to forecast financial market trends, predict the impact of new policies, laws and regulations on businesses and markets, etc. Predictive analytics is a business process which consists of collecting the data, developing accurate predictive model and making the analytics available to the business users through a data visualization application. The reliability of a business process can be increased by modeling the process and formally verifying its correctn…
Contrail Formation: Analysis of Sublimation Mechanisms
2018
We study losses of ice crystals in a persistent, soot-rich contra i l in the wake behind a medium-sized aircraft at cru i se. Constrain i n g a model covering ice nucleation, growth, and subl i m a t i o n phases with a n aircraft data set, we track the subl i m a t i o n history over two minutes of cont r a i l age and rela t e ice crystal numbers to the number of soot particles emitted by th e aircraft engines.
From Strategy to Code: Achieving Strategical Alignment in Software Development Projects Through Conceptual Modelling
2021
In this article we propose S2C, a strategy-to-code methodological approach to integrate organisational, business process, and information system modelling levels to support strategic alignment in software development. Through a model-driven approach and under the Conceptual-Model Programming paradigm, the proposal supports the semi-automatic generation of working software, as well as traceability among the modelling levels. Via a working example, we illustrate how strategic definitions can be traced into specific software components by the integration of three modelling methods: Lite*, for modelling strategic reaction to external influences, Communication Analysis, for business process mode…
Towards flexible process support with a CASE shell
1994
CASE technology for improving information systems development (ISD) is mostly based on the creation and verification of IS models using a fixed set of techniques. However, ISD is a complex activity, which requires well selected and suited methodologies and development practices for different situations. This calls for CASE shells (metaCASE environments) in which the methodologies can be tailored. Further, the quality of produced deliverables (e.g. specifications and models) is dependent on the development process. The focus of this paper is on integrating a flexible process support into a CASE shell. The ISD process is specified using a graphical process model, the purposes of which are the…
Information Systems and Business Strategy
2003
The main purpose of this chapter is to deep into the importance attached to the Information Systems for the proper formulation of the corporate strategy. After introducing the basis of the strategic planning tradition model, which suggests the subordination of the Information Systems (IS) to the Business Strategy, we propose a new model that views the IS as an strategic instrument suited for the strategy formulation stage, rather than operational tools for the strategy control phase. Success in the application of this model we call “Concurrent Business/IS Strategic Planning Model” will closely depend on the consistency, coherence and soundness of the IS, both internal and external. In order…
Business Modelling. Languages and Tools
2004
The paper provides an overview of business modelling techniques — both at language and tool level. The basic elements of some most popular business modelling languages are briefly outlined, including the GRAPES-BM language developed by IMCS, University of Latvia. The paper presents also the basic principles, how metamodel based generic modelling techniques can be used for supporting several modelling notations simultaneously.
Augmenting CASE tools with hypertext: Desired functionality and implementation issues
1997
Information systems have become bigger and more complex as their support has expanded to cover larger business domains, communication and work. At the same time technical design options such as client/server architectures and graphical user interfaces have increased the size and complexity of applications. In addition, pressures to build better systems more quickly have motivated the use of integrated design environments, such as CASE. Several integration approaches such as process modeling, frameworks and hypertext technology have been proposed. Of these we consider the least analyzed, hypertext technology, in this paper. Because of the novelty of hypertext in CASE there are several unreso…
A comparison of deontic matrices, maps and activity diagrams for the construction of situational methods
2007
Several approaches have been proposed to support situational method engineering (SME), each of them providing different techniques and using different basic concepts. In this work, we propose a framework for comparing SME approaches based on a generic SME process model. Three approaches are presented and compared by using this framework.
Exploring Process-Modelling Practice: Towards a Conceptual Model
2008
Despite the importance of process modelling for business process management and related tasks, there are few theories and empirical studies of process-modelling practice available that can serve as the basis for understanding and improving this important practice. To contribute to the development of better theory, this paper proposes a model of process modelling practice, focussing on the relations between process modelling purpose, process modelling process, model artefact, process modelling outcome as well as initial and eventual modelling and process maturity. The proposed model is based on the existing literature and validated in a study of 34 Norwegian process-modelling projects. Resul…
