The re-use of experience through the use of CBR in information systems modelling

Information Systems Development (ISD) is an important organization activity. IT professionals develop models that describe specific organizational aspects. The IT professionals experience plays an important role in the development of a model. Generally, IT professionals apply past experience acquired in the previous ISD processes. This paper describes a Case-Based-Reasoning (CBR) tool that enables the use of experience in the model development in the context of ISD process.- (undefined

Inquiring into the Origin of the Minoan Civilization via Information Systems Modelling in Humanities

The present study inquires the direct evidence about the origin of the Minoan civilization and about those settlers that initialized the relevant social process. This inquiry had been originally based on linguistic evidence, demonstrating that the Aegean scripts of Bronze Age consist of signs, which depicted objects and notions that their phonetic value corresponds to the Archaic Sumerian word for the equivalent object or notion. Occasionally, this equivalence is pictorial, as well, relevant to the pre-cuneiform Sumerian script. For a few years, direct and indirect evidence, other than linguistic, have been gathered, organized, studied and presented in a systemic manner, by using the Organizational Method for Analyzing Systems (OMAS-III). This conceptual tool is a typical one of Information Systems, being compatible to the comprehensive theoretical framework of Systems Inquiry. The presentation herein briefly summarizes the indirect aspects, previously published and augmented (socio-economic, anthropological, chronological, geographical and naval), and comments upon a plethora of direct cultural evidence that connect the Minoan civilization with the Archaic Sumerian one

Developing information systems with nomis: a model-driven systems development approach proposal

Trabalho apresentado na Seventh International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design 3-5 Julho 2017, Barcelona, SpainNOMIS is a human centred information systems modelling approach that is based on human observable actions. It models a business domain through a set of views focusing on human actions, human interactions, context for actions and information. These views are represented by a set of tables and diagrams using the NOMIS graphical notation. The modelling elements depicted in these views are defined in the NOMIS metamodel. NOMIS metamodel and graphical notation are a first step for formalizing and automate the design and implementation of computer applications with NOMIS. In this paper, we propose to develop NOMIS applications using a Model Driven System Engineering approach. The suggested approach will define formally NOMIS models and notation and, using model transformations, will derive a code structure to be used by the computerized information system, and a schema for a relational database supporting business data. Additionally, other components of a specified application middleware will be created.N/

On domain modelling of the service system with its application to enterprise information systems

Information systems are a kind of service systems and they are throughout every element of a modern industrial and business system, much like blood in our body. Types of information systems are heterogeneous because of extreme uncertainty in changes in modern industrial and business systems. To effectively manage information systems, modelling of the work domain (or domain) of information systems is necessary. In this paper, a domain modelling framework for the service system is proposed and its application to the enterprise information system is outlined. The framework is defined based on application of a general domain modelling tool called function-context-behaviour-principle-state-structure (FCBPSS). The FCBPSS is based on a set of core concepts, namely: function, context, behaviour, principle, state and structure and system decomposition. Different from many other applications of FCBPSS in systems engineering, the FCBPSS is applied to both infrastructure and substance systems, which is novel and effective to modelling of service systems including enterprise information systems. It is to be noted that domain modelling of systems (e.g. enterprise information systems) is a key to integration of heterogeneous systems and to coping with unanticipated situations facing to systems.postprin

Designing information systems requirements in context: Insights from the theory of deferred action

This paper considers conceptual and contextual issues relating to the problem of developing systems models capable of representing knowable and unknowable information requirements. It postulates that the systemic emergence property of systems is the cause of unknowable organisational information requirements. The Theory of Deferred Action and its systems constructs are invoked to explain emergence and how it can be modelled in formal systems. The insights proposed are believed to assist designers in developing functional and relevant approaches within dynamic organisational contexts

Recent developments in chemoinformatics education

Chemoinformatics techniques are increasingly being used to analyse the huge volumes of chemical and biological data resulting from combinatorial synthesis and high-throughput screening programmes. Scientists with both the chemical and the computing skills required to carry out such analyses are currently in very short supply, this resulting in the establishment of MSc programmes for the training of chemoinformatics specialists

Human knowing and perceived complexity: implications for systems practice

Complexity has been understood in different ways since its (re) introduction into scientific discourse. Therefore, instead of proposing a definition of complexity, we group the existing explanations about it into two distinct categories: descriptive and perceived complexity. The main features of these categories are described and how they arise as the result of the adoption of contrasting epistemologies is discussed. These categories together with their implications for our doing in the world are explored under the rubric of the 'epistemological problem of complexity'. The practical significance of the issues we address, especially as they relate to building capacity for systems practice, understood as a way of managing in situations of complexity, is also of concern. "Even when the individual trees are highly interesting and picturesque, it has use to see what the forest looks like in the large" (Rescher, 199S; xvii)

Business Domain Modelling using an Integrated Framework

This paper presents an application of a “Systematic Soft Domain Driven Design Framework” as a soft systems approach to domain-driven design of information systems development. The framework combining techniques from Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), the Unified Modelling Language (UML), and an implementation pattern known as “Naked Objects”. This framework have been used in action research projects that have involved the investigation and modelling of business processes using object-oriented domain models and the implementation of software systems based on those domain models. Within this framework, Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) is used as a guiding methodology to explore the problem situation and to develop the domain model using UML for the given business domain. The framework is proposed and evaluated in our previous works, and a real case study “Information Retrieval System for academic research” is used, in this paper, to show further practice and evaluation of the framework in different business domain. We argue that there are advantages from combining and using techniques from different methodologies in this way for business domain modelling. The framework is overviewed and justified as multimethodology using Mingers multimethodology ideas
