ProcMiner: Advancing Process Analysis and Management

2007

This paper contributes both to research and practice on process mining. Previous research on process mining has focused on mining patterns from event log files to generate process models. The process mining approach adopted in this paper is focused on producing patterns about process models, not the models themselves. The approach is demonstrated by ProcMiner -an explorative research prototype for management, consolidating, publishing, retrieving, and analyzing process models. Content-based document clustering is applied to process models represented as XML database in order to find topical groups from models. In practice, organizations face numerous challenges in managing their process mod…

Survival by colon cancer stage and screening interval in Lynch syndrome:a prospective Lynch syndrome database report

2019

Abstract Background We previously reported that in pathogenic mismatch repair (path_MMR) variant carriers, the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) was not reduced when colonoscopy was undertaken more frequently than once every 3 years, and that CRC stage and interval since last colonoscopy were not correlated. Methods The Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database (PLSD) that records outcomes of surveillance was examined to determine survival after colon cancer in relation to the time since previous colonoscopy and pathological stage. Only path_MMR variants scored by the InSiGHT variant database as class 4 or 5 (clinically actionable) were included in the analysis. Results Ninety-nine path_MMR ca…

Flat bands, Dirac cones, and atom dynamics in an optical lattice

2010

We study atoms trapped with a harmonic confinement in an optical lattice characterized by a flat band and Dirac cones. We show that such an optical lattice can be constructed which can be accurately described with the tight binding or Hubbard models. In the case of fermions the release of the harmonic confinement removes fast atoms occupying the Dirac cones while those occupying the flat band remain immobile. Using exact diagonalization and dynamics we demonstrate that a similar strong occupation of the flat band does not happen in bosonic case and furthermore that the mean field model is not capable for describing the dynamics of the boson cloud.

Sosiaalialan ammattilaiset halukkaita osallistumaan asiakastietojärjestelmien kehittämiseen – osallistumistavoissa kehitettävää

2020

Tietojärjestelmien kehittämistyön lähtökohtana tulee olla vahva ymmärrys käyttäjien tarpeista, tehtävistä sekä toimintaympäristöstä. Lisäksi suunnitteluratkaisuja tulee arvioida käyttäjien kanssa kehittämisprosessin aikana ja käyttöönoton jälkeen. Vaikka kansallisesti kohdennetaan runsaasti resursseja tietojärjestelmäpalveluiden kehittämiseen, sosiaalialalta tutkimusta aiheesta löytyy niukasti. Sosiaalialan ammattilaisten kokemuksia asiakastietojärjestelmien kehittämistyöstä kartoitettiin osana keväällä 2019 toteutettua valtakunnallisesta käyttäjäkokemuskyselyä. Kysymyksissä käsiteltiin kokemuksia yhteistyöstä tietojärjestelmätoimittajan kanssa, osallistumisesta kehittämistyöhön ja osallist…

Is There Any Hope for Developing Automated Translation Technology for Sign Languages?

2021

This article discusses the prerequisites for the machine translation of sign languages. The topic is complex, including questions relating to technology, interaction design, linguistics and culture. At the moment, despite the affordances provided by the technology, automated translation between signed and spoken languages – or between sign languages – is not possible. The very need of such translation and its associated technology can also be questioned. Yet, we believe that contributing to the improvement of sign language detection, processing and even sign language translation to spoken languages in the future is a matter that should not be abandoned. However, we argue that this work shou…

Szkolny polonista na usługach rynku pracy? O kształceniu językowo-komunikacyjnym w czasach (po)nowoczesnych

2016

Attempts to adjust education closely to the needs ot the job market and expectations of employers constitute a distinctive trend in modem education policies. The article discusses this issue in relation to the Polish language as a school subject, for the teaching of which an employer's perspective is seemingly irrelevant. The author, however, argues against this point of view, showing how the linguistic and communicative competencies developed in the Polish language classroom constitute an indispensable element of soft skills. The article also quotes results of pilot studies conducted among middle school (gimnazjum) pupils to examine their level of mastery of two key skills sought after by …

Groupware architecture for requirements processes in new product development

1999

An organization's ability to create successful products depends on how extensively it collects, analyzes and utilizes requirements information in its product development. Recent advances in groupware technologies allow such information to be shared more effectively in distributed organizations; thus, these technologies hold considerable potential as means of shortening the cycle time and improving the quality of requirements processes. This paper addresses issues in the design and implementation of groupware-supported requirements processes by drawing on experiences from large-scale industrial development projects within Nokia. The primary contribution of the paper is the conceptual design …

AUGMENTED REALITY FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE REBIRTH OF A HISTORICAL SQUARE

2019

Abstract. The case study, faced in this paper, arises in the context of Interreg Italia-Malta European project named I-Access, dedicated to the improvement of accessibility to Cultural Heritage (CH). Accessibility considered not only as the demolition of physical architectural barriers, but also as the possibility of fruition of CH through technological tools that can increase its perception and knowledge. Last achievements in photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) technology offered new methods of data acquisition in the field of CH, giving the possibility of monitoring and processing big data, in the form of point clouds. Ever in this field, reverse engineering techniques and …

HIGH QUALITY TEXTURE MAPPING PROCESS AIMED AT THE OPTIMIZATION OF 3D STRUCTURED LIGHT MODELS

2019

Abstract. This article presents the evaluation of a pipeline to develop a high-quality texture mapping implementation which makes it possible to carry out a semantic high-quality 3D textured model. Due to geometric errors such as camera parameters or limited image resolution or varying environmental parameters, the calculation of a surface texture from 2D images could present several color errors. And, sometimes, it needs adjustments to the RGB or lightness information on a defined part of the texture. The texture mapping procedure is composed of mesh parameterization, mesh partitioning, mesh segmentation unwraps, UV map and projection of island, UV layout optimization, mesh packing and mes…
