Best Practices for Business and Systems Analysis in Projects Conforming to Enterprise Architecture

This paper aims to identify best practices for performing business and systems analysis in projects that are required to comply with Enterprise Architecture. We apply two qualitative research methods to study real-life projects conforming to architecture at Statistics Netherlands. First, a Canonical Action Research approach is applied to participate in two business process redesign projects. Se...

A Library-Based Automated Intelligent Modeller

Automated modelling is concerned with developing computer tools that obey good modelling practice to generate parsimonious models. In this paper we present AIM, a new automated modeller. We show how AIM is a progression from existing automated modellers and describe its novel features. These are mainly the result of the framebased library structure used to store and organise modelling knowledge...

AN APPLICATION OF FUZZY NUMBERS TO THE ASSESSMENT OF MATHEMATICAL MODELLING SKILLS

In this paper we use the Triangular and Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers as tools for assessing student Mathematical Modelling (MM) skills. Fuzzy Numbers play a fundamental role in fuzzy mathematics analogous to the role played by the ordinary numbers in classical mathematics, On the other hand, MM appears today as a dynamic tool for teaching and learning mathematics, because it connects mathematics w...

Good Modelling Practice keywords: simulation modelling process, modelling life-cycle, quality-assessment, evaluation of modelling products

Introduction Modeling and simulation is nowadays a standard tool in the toolbox of many workers in the different fields of applied sciences. In The Netherlands several hundreds of modelers are involved in modelling for water management. But modelling might be a routinely applied method to investigate problems, it is not straightforward, but rather subjective, depending on the modelling team and...
