Process Modelling for Humanities: Tracing and Analysing Scientific Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper concerns epistemology and the understanding of research processes in the Humanities, such as Archaeology. We believe that to properly understand research processes, it is essential to trace them. The collected traces depend on the process model established, which has to be as accurate as possible to exhaustively record the traces. In this paper, we briefly explain why the existing process models for Humanities are not sufficient to represent traces. We then present different process models from Information Systems Engineering that allow tracing processes according to different perspectives such as activities, decisions or strategies. We assume these process models can be useful to represent research processes in the Humanities coherently and thoroughly.

Investigating Data Integration Using Sequence Analysis and Process Tracking
The paper proposes process tracing as a research method to investigate IS development tasks. The fruitful application of process tracing is demonstrated using a study of data integration, an increasingly important part of system development. Second, the paper proposes new analysis techniques for analysing the process tracing data. Two analysis techniques that are new to IS process tracing resea...

Sarah A. Roache and Lawrence O. Gostin’s recent editorial comprehensively presents soda taxation rationales from a public health perspective. While we essentially agree that soda taxes are gaining momentum, this commentary expands upon the need for a better understanding of the policy processes underlying their development and implementation. Indeed, the umbrella concept of soda taxation actual...

Service Provider business processes require extensive customer participation. Due to the customer’s substantial impact on the successful implementation of performance processes, measures of customer interaction must be planned meticulously.

متن کاملMonthly runoff forecasting by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs)
Over the last decade or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools formodelling hydrological processes such as rainfall runoff processes. However, the employment of a single model doesnot seem to be an appropriate approach for modelling such a complex, nonlinear, and discontinuous process thatvaries in space and time. For this reason, this study aims at de...
