A data-driven surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithm applied to a many-objective blast furnace optimization problem

2017

A new data-driven reference vector-guided evolutionary algorithm has been successfully implemented to construct surrogate models for various objectives pertinent to an industrial blast furnace. A total of eight objectives have been modeled using the operational data of the furnace using 12 process variables identified through a principal component analysis and optimized simultaneously. The capability of this algorithm to handle a large number of objectives, which has been lacking earlier, results in a more efficient setting of the operational parameters of the furnace, leading to a precisely optimized hot metal production process. peerReviewed

Startup Metrics That Tech Entrepreneurs Need to Know

2020

Metrics can be used by firms to make more objective decisions based on data. Software startups in particular are characterized by the uncertain or even chaotic nature of the contexts in which they operate. Using data in the form of metrics can help software startups to make the right decisions amid uncertainty and limited resources. However, whereas conventional business metrics and software metrics have been studied in the past, metrics in the specific context of software startups have not been studied. In this chapter, we present the results of a multivocal literature review to offer you 118 metrics practitioner experts think software startups should measure. These metrics can give you id…

Data-driven Interactive Multiobjective Optimization : Challenges and a Generic Multi-agent Architecture

2020

In many decision making problems, a decision maker needs computer support in finding a good compromise between multiple conflicting objectives that need to be optimized simultaneously. Interactive multiobjective optimization methods have a lot of potential for solving such problems. However, the growth of complexity in problem formulations and the abundance of data bring new challenges to be addressed by decision makers and method developers. On the other hand, advances in the field of artificial intelligence provide opportunities in this respect. We identify challenges and propose directions of addressing them in interactive multiobjective optimization methods with the help of multiple int…

Fine-tuning lexical bundles : a methodological reflection in the context of describing drug-drug interactions

2018

This chapter has two major aims. First, it attempts to extend earlier research on recurrent phraseologies used in the pharmaceutical field (Grabowski 2015) by exploring the use, distribution and functions of lexical bundles found in English texts describing drug-drug interactions. Conducted from an applied perspective, the study uses 300 text samples extracted from DrugDDI Corpus originally collected in the Drugbank database (Segura-Bedmar et al. 2010). Apart from presenting new descriptive data, the second aim of the chapter is to reflect on the ways lexical bundles have been typically explored across different text types and genres. The problems discussed in the chapter concern the method…

Wykorzystanie elektronicznych giełd transportowych w działalności e-biznesowej przedsiębiorstw z branży TSL zorientowanych projektowo

2016

The article presents the essence and importance of electronic freight exchange in the functioning of enterprises in the transport-forwarding-logistics sector. The authors present the basic issues related to the e-government, the essence of e-business and ecommerce. Then characterizes the transition process in the transport-forwarding-logistics sector in the context of the functioning of the electronic market. The authors discuss the tools and resources to support electronic business processes in the form of electronic freight exchanges. They present the benefits and costs of the use of such tools in the transport-forwarding-logistics sector on the basis of studies conducted in selected ente…

PUMP AS TURBINE (PAT) IN INTERMITTENT DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

2012

A hydraulic model was performed in order to evaluate potential energy recovery resulting by the use of centrifugal pump as turbines (PAT) in the water distribution network characterized by the presence of private tanks. The model integrates the Enhanced Global Gradient Algorithm (EGGA) (Todini [1], Giustolisi et al. [2]), with a pressure driven model (Criminisi et al. [3]) that entails a more realistic representation of the influence of the private tanks filling and emptying process in the network behaviour. The model was applied to real case study: a district metered area in Palermo (Italy). Namely three different scenarios were analyzed and compared with the actual scenario (Scenario 0 - …

Combining Social Service and Healthcare as the First Country in the World : Exploring the Impacts on Information Systems

2018

The Finnish government has decided to implement a reform in the social and healthcare system by combining the two in the future. There are several drivers for this change that have been identified. Large number of information systems that are not interoperable, challenges in data management and isolated service offering are the most significant ones. In the government’s strategy for the future the digitalisation will provide tools to solve these challenges. In this paper the landscape is outlined and the architecture choices are discussed. The enterprise architecture is applied for the largest county comprising of over 1900 social service and healthcare related information systems. The targ…

Exploring the Critical Success Factors in Social and Health Care Information Systems Project Procurement

2020

A welfare reform involving the mixing of social and health services is being introduced by the Finnish government. Several factors have been identified for this shift, the most relevant of which is that many information systems are not interoperable and data-related problems have been identified. Management and isolated offers of service. Digitalizing to solve these issues is part of the government’s policy. This paper outlines the change landscape and explores the architectural options of the proposed digitalisation process and crucial success factors. The Undertaking The design is applied to the largest county, which consists of over 1,900 information systems related to social support and…

Inkluzja podejścia projektowego w proces tworzenia innowacji

2016

The project-driven approach becomes more and more important way in achie- ving operational and strategic objectives and the manner of the general improvement of the enterprise performance, including the field of innovation management. The paper pre- sents the idea of "innovation project machine". The aim of the paper is to verify the pro- ject-driven approach in the process of creating innovative solutions. The arguments pre- sented in the article show that these two ways of working can be combined into an "inno- vation project machine" The „innovation project machine" can capture new ideas more ef- fectively and execute innovation, inspired by agile project management and with learning for…
