Strategic alignment between business and IT is considered critical for competitiveness. Enterprise system and business process reengineering projects are inter-related and have a major impact on strategic alignment. ERP systems are developed in multiple stakeholder ecosystems. Current literature does not provide sufficient support for this. The aim of this paper is to identify business and tech...

Literature about IS strategic management or IS strategic value is abundant. Nonetheless, the bulk of existing studies are focused on the concept of alignment. They do not make sense of a strategic value "in practice" and still draw on notions such as activity or process to make sense of alignment. By means of a practice-based view of technology, three praxis are suggested here for the modeling ...

In this paper, we show that the standard point of view of the neuroimaging community about fMRI time series alignment should be revisited to overcome the bias induced by activations. We propose to perform a two-stage alignment. The first motion estimation is used to infer a mask of activated areas. The second motion estimation discards these areas during the similarity measure estimations. Simu...

We introduce another view of sequence evolution. Contrary to other approaches, we model the substitution process in two steps. First we assume (arbitrary) scaled branch lengths on a given phylogenetic tree. Second we allocate a Poisson distributed number of substitutions on the branches. The probability to place a mutation on a branch is proportional to its relative branch length. More importan...

The concept of multiple graph alignment has recently been introduced as a novel method for the structural analysis of biomolecules. Using inexact, approximate graph-matching techniques, this method enables the robust identification of approximately conserved patterns in biologically related structures. In particular, using multiple graph alignments, it is possible to characterize functional pro...

In this paper, a method for fully automatic construction of frontal 2D face image of an individual is described. This frontal image is constructed from his/her available side-view images using face mosaicing. Firstly an automatic eye-brow detection algorithm is used to detect the eye-brow along with its position i.e. left or right. By this result it is easier to detect whether the given image i...

We have developed a system based on technologies resulting from our recent research in multi-view face detection and tracking [1, 2], pose estimation [3], alignment [4, 5, 6], and recognition [7]; where multi-view means out-of-plane rotations in [0Æ; 180Æ] left-right (90 corresponding to the frontal view) and in 30Æ up-down. The system, whose structure is shown in Fig.1, takes gray level static...

The Multicenter ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) Revision Study (MARS) group was developed to investigate revision ACL reconstruction outcomes. An important part of this is obtaining and reviewing radiographic studies. The goal for this radiographic analysis is to establish radiographic findings for a large revision ACL cohort to allow comparison with future studies. The study was designed as a...

This work studies the use of visual semantic representations to align entities in heterogeneous knowledge graphs (KGs). Images are natural components many existing KGs. By combining with other auxiliary information, we show that proposed new approach, EVA, creates a holistic entity representation provides strong signals for cross-graph alignment. Besides, previous alignment methods require huma...
