ESIGENZE E REQUISITI NELLE PASSERELLE DEI SITI ARCHEOLOGICI
2016
C'è stato un interesse crescente per la conservazione del patrimonio culturale e archeologico e un corrispondente aumento del numero di turisti che hanno interesse a questi settori. Di conseguenza, ciò ha comportato strategie di intervento più attenti che mirano alla conservazione, all'apprezzamento, al godimento e allo sfruttamento del nostro patrimonio storico e artistico. Il ponte pedonale è strettamente legato agli aspetti museologici, architettonici e archeologici. Questo documento descrive alcune richieste da parte del visitatore, gli elementi essenziali che devono essere specificati nel progetto e i risultati che questi particolari manufatti, ovvero le passerelle, devono fornire per …
Business intelligence requirements in small sized enterprises
2016
Pienet ja keskisuuret yritykset keräävät nykyisin suuren määrän tietoa ja ovat kiinnostuneet Business Intelligencestä (BI), liiketoimintatiedon hallinnasta, pärjätäkseen kilpailussa liiketoimintaympäristössä. PK-yritykset ovat merkittäviä paikallisessa, kansallisessa ja jopa globaalissa mittakaavassa, sillä ne muodostavat ison osan taloudesta. Siitä huolimatta on tutkittu hyvin vähän sitä, minkälaisia vaatimuksia ja tarpeita näillä yrityksillä on BI:tä kohtaan. Tämän Pro gradu -tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää näitä vaatimuksia kvalitatiivisessa tutkimuksessa teema- ja puolistrukturoidulla haastatteluilla. Yhdistävä tekijä BI-termistössä ja näkökulmissa on, se että kaikissa määrityksiss…
From Technology to the Human User
2008
When thinking of users, it is possible to look at them from a variety of perspectives. One essential way of considering users within the human–technology environment involves technical concepts. In this manner, we define what users should be able to do with a particular technical system. As such, there are tasks to accomplish and goals to reach by means of some technology, and therefore specific operations must be carried out in order to reach those goals or fulfill those tasks. For example, if someone wishes to buy boots from an eShop, it is necessary to get onto the Internet, find the eShop, find the boots, load them into a virtual shopping cart, and follow the process to check out. Savvy…
Requirements Model of Sociotechnical Systems Simulator Architecture
2017
To avoid any voluntary decisions it is desirable to examine the possible consequences that can be done by simulation. Unfortunately there is no unified methodology and technology for simulators designing. Above mentioned problem when development of each simulator has to be started from the scratches makes elaboration expensive and cumbersome. The article dealt with the way to joint understanding of simulators designing concept.
A metrics suite for evaluating agent-oriented architectures
2010
The Multi-agent Systems (MASs) paradigm continues to consolidate itself as a new branch of software engineering. Traditional software engineering strongly recommends to apply metrics in software developments. However, several research groups of experts in agent-oriented software engineering agree that classical software metrics and object-oriented metrics cannot directly measure the quality of MAS architectures. For this reason, this work proposes a suite of metrics to measure certain quality attributes of MAS architectures, considering agents and their organization. Most of these metrics are inspired by object-oriented metrics but they are adapted to agent-oriented concepts. Proposed metri…
Graph grammar engineering: A software specification method
1987
Graphs as conceptual data models are accepted and used in a wide range of different problem areas. Giving some examples we outline common aspects for modeling complex structures by graphs. We present a formal frame-work based on graph grammars to specify graph classes and the corresponding graph manipulations. We show that such a specification can be written in a systematic, engineering-like manner. This is achieved by an extension of the known programmed, attributed graph grammars. Node-set operators are introduced to facilitate graph queries. Concepts like abstraction, decomposition, refinement, parameterization, and integration have been adopted from software engineering to yield a compr…
A speech-act-based office modeling approach
1988
In this paper methods and principles that help to analyze offices as systems of communicative action are explored. In communicative action, office agents create commitments through symbolic means. A SAMPO (Speech-Act-based office Modeling aPprOach), which studies office activities as a series of speech acts creating, maintaining, modifying, reporting, and terminating commitments, is presented. The main steps and methods in the office system specification are outlined and their application illustrated through a simple example. In the final section advantages and disadvantages in the SAMPO are noted and some research directions for the future are suggested.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Seven Finnish B.Sc. in IT Programs
2021
Defining the intended learning outcomes is a significant part of curriculum design. Especially,the program-level competence requirements outline the objectives of the education, align the more detailed program structures and content of the curriculum, and create the basis for constructive alignment. Several different bodies aim at defining the goals of engineering programs on different levelsof abstraction.Some of these documents can be considered as statements of the 'minimum threshold'.Respectively, others provide detailed guidelines to support the design of post-secondary programsin specific engineering fields. For example, the CDIO Initiative has defined a general reference syllabus aim…
Incompleteness in Conceptual Data Modelling
2013
Although conceptual data modelers can ”get creative” when designing entities and relationships to meet business requirements, they are highly constrained by the business rules which determine the details of how the entities and relationships combine. Typically, there is a delay in realising which business rules might be relevant and a further delay in obtaining an authoritative statement of these rules. We identify circumstances under which viable database designs can be constructed from conceptual data models which are incomplete in the sense that they lack this “infrastructural” detail normally obtained from the business rules. As such detail becomes available, our approach allows the con…
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…
