Dynamic enterprise modelling: a methodology for animating dynamic social networks
PhD ThesisSince the introduction of the Internet and the realisation of its potential
companies have either transformed their operation or are in the process of
doing so. It has been observed, that developments in I.T.,
telecommunications and the Internet have boosted the number of enterprises
engaging into e-commerce, e-business and virtual enterprising. These trends
are accompanied by re-shaping, transformation and changes in an
enterprise's boundaries. The thesis gives an account of the research into the
area of dynamic enterprise modelling and provides a modelling
methodology that allows different roles and business models to be tested and
evaluated without the risk associated with committing to a change
SCIF-IRIS Framework: A framework to facilitate interoperability in supply chains
One approach that allows improving the collaboration among all the enterprises within a supply chain is interoperability. Interoperability allows the enterprises in the supply chain to collaborate in an efficient manner while preserving their own identities and their own ways of doing business through mechanisms that act as facilitators. However, there are few real practical examples of supply chain interoperability that can be used as a reference. In this paper, we present a framework that can facilitate supply chain interoperability and an example of how it can be applied to a food supply chain
Framework for collaborative knowledge management in organizations
Nowadays organizations have been pushed to speed up the rate of industrial transformation to high value products and services. The capability to agilely respond to new market demands became a strategic pillar for innovation, and knowledge management could support organizations to achieve that goal. However, current knowledge management approaches tend to be over complex or too academic, with interfaces difficult to manage, even more if cooperative handling is required. Nevertheless, in an ideal framework, both tacit and explicit knowledge management should be addressed to achieve knowledge handling with precise and semantically meaningful definitions. Moreover, with the increase of Internet usage, the amount of available information explodes. It leads to the observed progress in the creation of mechanisms to retrieve useful knowledge from the huge existent amount of information sources. However, a same knowledge representation of a thing could mean differently to different people and applications.
Contributing towards this direction, this thesis proposes a framework capable of gathering the knowledge held by domain experts and domain sources through a knowledge management system and transform it into explicit ontologies. This enables to build tools with advanced reasoning capacities with the aim to support enterprises decision-making processes. The author also intends to address the problem of knowledge transference within an among organizations. This will be done through a module (part of the proposed framework) for domain’s lexicon establishment which purpose is to represent and unify the understanding of the domain’s used semantic
Design of a Controlled Language for Critical Infrastructures Protection
We describe a project for the construction of controlled language for critical infrastructures protection (CIP). This project originates
from the need to coordinate and categorize the communications on CIP at the European level. These communications can be physically
represented by official documents, reports on incidents, informal communications and plain e-mail. We explore the application of
traditional library science tools for the construction of controlled languages in order to achieve our goal. Our starting point is an
analogous work done during the sixties in the field of nuclear science known as the Euratom Thesaurus.JRC.G.6-Security technology assessmen
