Conceptual Modelling of Complex Network Management Systems

Conceptual Modelling of Complex Network Management Systems

Society, as we know it today, is completely dependent on computer networks, Internet and distributed systems, which place at our disposal the necessary services to perform our daily tasks. Moreover, and unconsciously, all services and distributed systems require network management systems. These systems allow us to, in general, maintain, manage, configure, scale, adapt, modify, edit, protect or...

Modelling of Complex Economic Systems: Toward Conceptual Platform

This paper discusses various modelling platforms that can be applied to describe complex systems embedded in economics, as well as the role of modelling in the context of three main functions of scientific research: description, explanation and prediction. Qualitative modelling (non-quantitative) is characterized as an initial stage of any modelling approaches, including the one represented by ...

In work environments human resources usually multitask, both human and non-human resources are typically shared between tasks, and multiple resources are sometimes necessary to undertake a single task. However, current Business Process Management Systems focus on taskresource allocation in terms of individual human resources only and lack su...
