Compliance is a critical enterprise management concern, particularly in business process-oriented organizations. Compliance measures are often implemented using policies, of which decision-making requires high independence from implementation logic and high flexibility. This paper motivates the use of an event-centric approach for modeling policy decision-making. We introduce an event ontology ...

Rule acquisition is one of the main purposes in the analysis of formal decision contexts. Up to now, there have been several types of rules in formal decision contexts such as decision rules, decision implications, and granular rules, which can be viewed as ∧-rules since all of them have the following form: "if conditions 1,2,…, and m hold, then decisions hold." In order to enrich the existing ...

in this paper, we investigate a decision support system (dss) for the resolution of real-life vehicle routing and scheduling problem (vrsp). scheduling the deliveries from a regional distribution centre (rdc) to large stores of a major fmcg retailer includes every possible vehicle routing complexity. usual constraints that are seen are: size of the vehicle and the length of the driving day, loa...

A major obstacle to sharing computable clinical knowledge is the lack of a common language for specifying expressions and criteria. Such a language could be used to specify decision criteria, formulae, and constraints on data and action. Al-though the Arden Syntax addresses this problem for clinical rules, its generalization to HL7's object-oriented data model is limited. The GELLO Expression l...

The action-based model of dissonance predicts that following decisional commitment, approach-oriented motivational processes occur to assist in translating the decision into effective and unconflicted behavior. Therefore, the modulation of these approach-oriented processes should affect the degree to which individuals change their attitudes to be more consistent with the decisional commitment (...

There is much debate on which types of computer-based systems have the most impact in healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. Safety surveillance systems, which have been around for several years, are probably at the top of the list. These provider-oriented clinical decision support systems allow healthcare providers to monitor the safety of medications and other interventions that are critic...

People in every organization could be considered as the most important resource which contributes to the development of that organization. In fact, human capital is the most important dimension of organization’s intellectual capital especially in service-oriented organizations like municipality. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to introduce a suitable framework for human capital eva...
