Towards a method to generate GUI prototypes from BPMN
2018
Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) provides organizations with a standard that facilitates further compression of the business process. BPMN focuses on the functional processes, leaving the development of interfaces to one side. Thereby, interface design usually depends on the subjective experience of the analyst. This article aims to propose a new method to generate user interfaces from BPMN models and Class Diagrams. The proposed method is based on the identification of different rules and makes use of stereotypes to extend BPMN notation. The rules have been extracted from seven existing projects on the Bizagi repository. Specifically, the proposal is based on the extraction of ru…
Visualization of Memory Map Information in Embedded System Design
2018
Data compression is a common requirement for displaying large amounts of information. The goal is to reduce visual clutter. The approach given in this paper uses an analysis of a data set to construct a visual representation. The visualization is compressed using the address ranges of the memory structure. This method produces a compressed version of the initial visualization, retaining the same information as the original. The presented method has been implemented as a Memory Designer tool for ASIC, FPGA and embedded systems using IP-XACT. The Memory Designer is a user-friendly tool for model based embedded system design, providing access and adjustment of the memory layout from a single v…
Automating statistical diagrammatic representations with data characterization
2017
The search for an efficient method to enhance data cognition is especially important when managing data from multidimensional databases. Open data policies have dramatically increased not only the volume of data available to the public, but also the need to automate the translation of data into efficient graphical representations. Graphic automation involves producing an algorithm that necessarily contains inputs derived from the type of data. A set of rules are then applied to combine the input variables and produce a graphical representation. Automated systems, however, fail to provide an efficient graphical representation because they only consider either a one-dimensional characterizat…
Domain knowledge integration and semantical quality management -A biology case study
2008
International audience; The management of semantical quality is a major challenge in the context of knowledge integration. In this paper, we describe a new approach to constraint management that emphasizes constraint traceability when moving from the semantical level to the operational one.Our strategy for management of semantical quality is related to a metamo-deling-based approach to knowledge integration. We carry out knowledge integration “on the fly” by using transformations applied to models belonging to our metamodeling architecture. The resulting integrated models access available resources through web services whose input and output parameters are guarded by constraints. Integrated…
Mesh Visual Quality based on the combination of convolutional neural networks
2019
Blind quality assessment is a challenging issue since the evaluation is done without access to the reference nor any information about the distortion. In this work, we propose an objective blind method for the visual quality assessment of 3D meshes. The method estimates the perceived visual quality using only information from the distorted mesh to feed pre-trained deep convolutional neural networks. The input data is prepared by rendering 2D views from the 3D mesh and the corresponding saliency map. The views are split into small patches of fixed size that are filtered using a saliency threshold. Only the salient patches are selected as input data. After that, three pre-trained deep convolu…
A Hybrid Virtual-Augmented Serious Game to Improve Driving Safety Awareness
2018
The use of 3D virtual content and Augmented Reality (AR) in certain applications allows designing tools and serious games that are more attractive to the potential users. Focusing on the area of learning and education, these technologies can be adapted to the requirements of the application that needs to be developed, to the available devices on which they are expected to run and also to the learning content. However, in most applications only a single interaction paradigm and a single visualization mode is used, restricting the potential benefits of the system. In this paper, we propose a software application designed to improve driving safety awareness and learning for both adults and chi…
Architecture Enabling Adaptation of Data Integration Processes for a Research Information System
2018
Abstract Today, many efforts have been made to implement information systems for supporting research evaluation activities. To produce a good framework for research evaluation, the selection of appropriate measures is important. Quality aspects of the systems’ implementation should also not be overlooked. Incomplete or faulty data should not be used and metric computation formulas should be discussed and valid. Correctly integrated data from different information sources provide a complete picture of the scientific activity of an institution. Knowledge from the data integration field can be adapted in research information management. In this paper, we propose a research information system f…
Towards the definitive evaluation framework for cross-platform app development approaches
2019
Abstract Mobile app development is hindered by device fragmentation and vendor-specific modifications. Boundaries between devices blur with PC-tablet hybrids on the one side and wearables on the other. Future apps need to support a host of app-enabled devices with differing capabilities, along with their software ecosystems. Prior work on cross-platform app development concerned concepts and prototypes, and compared approaches that target smartphones. To aid choosing an appropriate framework and to support the scientific assessment of approaches, an up-to-date comparison framework is needed. Extending work on a holistic, weighted set of assessment criteria, we propose what could become the …
AN AGENT BASED ARCHITECTURE FOR MANUFACTURING E-MARKETPLACES
2005
This chapter presents the Agent Based Architecture developed within the research project, titled "Process and Production Planning in manufacturing Enterprise Networks". As mentioned in Chapter 1, the architecture has been developed to support “added value services” in neutral linear e-marketplaces, i.e. in virtual districts. In this chapter the architecture will be described from a functional and dynamic point of view by using the formalisms used in the project. In particular, from a functional perspective, the architecture is described by using the IDEF0 formalism, while its dynamics are specified by UML activity diagrams.
