Most experts agree (Piatetsky-Shapiro, 2000; Thearling, 2007) that data mining began in the 1960s with the advent of computers that could store and process large amounts of data. In the 1980s, data mining became more common and widespread with the distribution of relational databases and SQL. In the 1990s, business saw a boom in data mining as desktop computers and powerful server-class compute...

Process capability indices (PCIs) have been widely used in industries for assessing the capability of manufacturing processes. Castagliola and Castellanos (Quality Technology and Quantitative Management 2005, 2(2):201–220), viewing that there were no clear links between the definition of the existing multivariate PCIs and theoretical proportion of nonconforming product items, defined a bivariat...

Enterprises in today’s globalized world are compelled to react on threats and opportunities in a highly flexible manner. Due to technological advancements, real-time information availability, especially in manufacturing operations, has reached new dimensions and increasingly provides Big Data. With Complex Event Processing (CEP) the required technology to analyze and correlate heterogeneous eve...

Many initiatives have emerged to aid one in publishing structured resources as Linked Data on the Web with one of the major achievements being the R2RML W3C Recommendation. R2RML and its dialects assume a certain underlying technology (e.g., Core SQL 2008). This means that domain-specific data transformations – such as transforming geospatial coordinates – rely either on that underlying technol...

Previous studies are inconsistent in their findings about the relationship between external involvement and performance. The authors attribute this inconsistency to the misfit between external involvement and business environment. Drawing the concept of fit between information processing capabilities and needs from information processing theory, they develop the fitting patterns between externa...
