Introduction to the Management of Knowledge Systems Design and Deployment Projects Minitrack
2012
Knowledge systems are increasingly used to support globally distributed work. Projects are a natural means of designing and deploying such systems. There is plenty of literature on the management of information systems design projects and some literature on information systems deployment projects. However, knowledge systems are typically more complex organizationally and socially than most traditional information systems. For example, enterprise resource planning systems typically must be used to get the work done whereas many knowledge systems are voluntary to use. It is reasonable to assume that project management involved in the design and deployment of knowledge systems differs from the…
Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Virtual Meeting Tool-Based Innovation for UML Technology Training in Global Organizations
2012
End-user training is complicated to implement in global corporations whose activities are typically scattered across multiple sites in different countries and leverage information systems in various ways. This is especially true in global software development where the sites may leverage a development tool for totally different purposes. Web-based Virtual Meeting Tools (VMT) enable synchronous communication globally through interactive audio, online chats, video, and the sharing of presentations. They provide potentially a cost effective way to train even complex topics to large numbers of people in global settings. Few industrial experiences from the design and use of VMT-based training in…
RgbDF: Resource Goal and Behaviour Description Framework
2006
Agent-oriented approach has proven to be very efficient in engineering complex distributed software environments with dynamically changing conditions. The efficiency of underlying modelling framework for this domain is undoubtedly of a crucial importance. Currently, a model-driven architecture has been the most popular and developed for purposes of modelling different aspects of multi-agent systems, including behaviour of individual agents. UML is utilized as a basis for this modelling approach and variety of existing UML-based modelling tools after slight extension are reused. This paper proposes an ontology-driven approach to modelling agent behaviour as an emerging paradigm that originat…
Domain-specific and general future orientation of high school students in Latvia under socioeconomic changes
2013
Šio tyrimo tikslas – palyginti Latvijos paauglių bendrąją ateities orientaciją ir ateities orientacijas specifinėse gyvenimo sferose gyvenant santykinai ekonomiškai stabiliu ir ekonominės krizės laikotarpiu. Remiantis suvokimo lygio teorija, tikimasi, kad ateities orientacijos konkrečiose srityse labiau skirsis esant skirtingoms ekonominėms sąlygoms nei asmens bendroji ateities orientacija. Metodika. Tyrimas atliktas 2004 ir 2010 metais vidurinėse mokyklose. Dvi tiriamųjų grupes sudarė 530 mokinių nuo 17 iki 19 metų. P. G. Zimbardo laiko perspektyvos bei Vilčių ir baimių klausimynai latvių kalba buvo pateikti etninės daugumos atstovams, rusų kalba – etnolingvistinės mažumos atstovams. Tyrim…
Designing the Didactic Strategy Modeling Language (DSML) From PoN: An Activity Oriented EML Proposal
2018
[EN] This paper presents the design of the didactic strategy modeling language (DSML) according to the principles of Physics of Notations (PoN). The DSML is a visual and activity-oriented language for learning design characterized by the representation of different activities according to the nature of the task. Once the language is designed, a blind interpretation study is conducted to validate the semantic transparency of the learning activity iconography. The results of the paper allow to refine the icons. In addition to this, an authoring tool for DSML, which is integrated to an LMS, is presented. As a result, a model driven course was designed as a DSML pre-validation.
On the generalized directed rural postman problem
2014
The generalized directed rural postman problem (GDRPP) is a generic type of arc routing problem. In the present paper, it is described how many types of practically relevant single-vehicle routing problems can be modelled as GDRPPs. This demonstrates the versatility of the GDRPP and its importance as a unified model for postman problems. In addition, an exact and a heuristic solution method are presented. Computational experiments using two large sets of benchmark instances are performed. The results show high solution quality and thus demonstrate the practical usefulness of the approach.
UML-Based Metamodeling for Information System Engineering and Evolution
2003
In modelers’ practice metamodels have become the core of UML-based metamodeling environments: metamodels form the basis of application domain descriptions, and they are instantiated into models. In the context of information system engineering and interoperability, we have developped two operations on metamodels: metamodel integration and measure of semantical distance between metamodels. In this paper, we explore application of these operations to information systems’ evolution.

In the framework of function points associated to OO-method conceptual models (OOmFP), measuring the functional size of an information system in a precise and automatic way starting from its conceptual model is today a reality. The industrial application of the OO-Method modelling tools has resulted in their evolution, incorporating support for new functional elements. The present work shows the measurement rules associated to the new functional elements supported by OO-Method conceptual models, applying these rules in tools that generate executable code from OO-Method conceptual models. Finally, a comparative analysis is performed over OO-Method models of real systems. The comparative anal…
UML design and AWL programming for reconfigurable control software development of a robotic manipulator
2006
The goal of the presented research is to face the topic of reconfigurable control software development in a concrete fashion, i.e., by presenting a control software system development approach which has been used for a specific, although easy to be generalized, robotized manufacturing cell component. In particular, a methodology for the control software development of a planar robot (2-degrees of freedom) is presented, from the conceptual design to the actual implementation. The methodology suggests UAL and object-oriented modeling and programming techniques for the design phase, while AWL programming language run by a PLC for the implementation phase. The analysis has been conducted consid…
Search for resonant second generation slepton production at the Fermilab Tevatron
2006
Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T20:09:02Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2006-01-01 We present a search for supersymmetry in the R-parity violating resonant production and decay of smuons and muon sneutrinos in the channels, 2,3,40. We analyzed 0.38fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected between April 2002 and August 2004 with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The observed number of events is in agreement with the standard model expectation, and we calculate 95% C.L. limits on the slepton production cross section times branching fraction to gaugino plus muon, as a function of slepton and gaugino masses. In the framework of minimal supergravity, we s…
