The focus of this paper is on the modelling primitives which are not only taking into account semantic models of traditional approaches for information system development, but also put a communication aspect into the foreground of system analysis. Integration of static, dynamic and non-traditional communication dependencies is considered as a most important feature of the suggested framework. I...

Modelling events is one of the key problems in dynamic scene understanding when salient and autonomous visual changes occurring in a scene need to be characterised as a set of different object temporal events. we propose an approach to understand complex outdoor scenarios which is based on modelling temporally correlated events using Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs). A Partially Coupled Hidden ...

modelling and forecasting stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. this nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. using an artificial neural network (ann) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...

strategic environmental assessment can be viewed as a process to integrate the concept ofsustainable development into planning. in this context, sea can be regarded as a method that regulates theplanning process to a state of sustainable development. however, to reach that goal it is necessary to achieve full integration of planning and the sea process.therefore this paper considers the integra...

In order to survive in the competitive business environment introduced by the technological burst of the last decade, most organisations automated their business activities. The efficient automation of business activities leads to improving their performance and enabling enterprise-wide monitoring and coordination. Business process (BP) modelling is an effective tool towards analysing the behav...

A systematic analysis of stakeholders could enrich the systems thinking and modelling methodology. Among the five phases of the systems thinking and modelling framework, namely, problem structuring, causal loop modelling, dynamic modelling, scenario planning & modelling, and implementation & organisational learning, the importance of stakeholder analysis in the problem structuring and scenario ...

This article provides a three-way interaction between experiments, logic and cognitive modelling so as to bring out a shared perspective among these diverse areas, aiming towards better understanding and better modelling of human strategic reasoning in dynamic games.

Conceptual modelling studies the different abstraction methods of the real world. The conception and the execution of virtual worlds depend strongly of the type of conceptual models. Existing modelling methods such as object-oriented modelling are not appropriated when the main concern is the dynamic reusability and interoperability. Such a reusability and interoperability must be free of any h...

Acceptance Sampling models have been widely applied in companies for the inspection and testing the raw material as well as the final products. A number of lots of the items are produced in a day in the industries so it may be impossible to inspect/test each item in a lot. The acceptance sampling models only provide the guarantee for the producer and consumer that the items in the lots are acco...
