A number of e-Processes (i.e. software processes for developing e-Commerce information systems) are available in industry. It is difficult to select the best suited e-Process for a case at hand. At the same time this selection is important because functionality and quality of any system under development will depend on the instantiated software process. The knowledge required for the selection ...

A large portion of the software used in industry today is legacy software. Legacy systems often evolve into diicult to maintain systems whose original design has been lost or else no longer closely matches the actual structure of the system. In our paper 1 we present a \hybrid" process in which we combine extracted code facts and information derived from interviewing developers to determine the...

Process algebra is a theoretical framework for the modelling and analysis of the behaviour of concurrent discrete event systems that has been developed within computer science in past quarter century. It has generated a deeper understanding of the nature of concepts such as observable behaviour in the presence of nondeterminism, system composition by interconnection of concurrent component syst...

The hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) can provide a nonparametric prior for a mixture model with grouped data, where mixture components are shared across groups. However, the computational cost is generally very high in terms of both time and space complexity. Therefore, developing a method for fast inference of HDP remains a challenge. In this paper, we assume a symmetric multiprocessing (S...

The paper proposes the combination of three traditional modelling methods (analytical, continuous and discrete-event) into a unique hybrid two-level modelling approach to address software process simulation modelling issues. At the higher abstraction level, the process is modelled by a discrete-event queuing network, which represents the component activities (i.e. service stations), their inter...

Flexibility analysis is an important task for the optimal design and synthesis of chemical processes with uncertainty. It is a challenging problem because of the discontinuity and nonconvexity of rigorous flexibility programming formulations. In this article, we propose a new parallel hybrid algorithm based on stochastic search in conjunction with a nearest constraint projection technique to nu...

Danish mortgage credit institutes deal with highly variable and knowledgeintensive processes. At the same time these processes are required to be strictly conformant to current regulations and laws. In addition different divisions of the business are interested in different views on the same process: whereas the IT department implementing the processes would like a complete view that shows the ...

of the Thesis Hybrid DPWM with Process and Temperature Calibration by Jing Lu Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Northeastern University, August 2015 Yong-Bin Kim, Adviser In this thesis, a 12-bit high resolution, power and area efficiency hybrid DPWM with process and temperature calibration is proposed for DPWM controller IC for DC-DC converters. The hybrid structure of D...

A semantic annotation of business processes with concepts from ontology has become necessity in service provisioning. There have been few work on semantically labeling business processes in terms of ontology that formalizes business process structure, business domains etc. However, dynamic behavior of a process cannot be captured by such means as ontology languages are not suitable for specifyi...

A novel hybrid catalyst based on grafting Cu on furfural imine-functionalized halloysite was designed, characterized and used for promoting synthesis of xanthene derivatives via three- component reaction of benzaldehyde derivatives, dimedone, and β-naphthol in aqueous media and under mild reaction condition. The results established high catalytic activity of the hybrid system, which was superio...
