Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm to provide Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). In this paper we present NEPTUNE-IaaS, a software system able to support the whole lifecycle of IaaS provisioning in a Virtual Cluster environment. Our system allows interactive design of complex system topologies and their efficient mapping onto the available physical resources of a cluster. It also provides...

In the development process of the information of the mining engineering, it is difficult to directly exchange and share information in the different phases and different application system, which causes the information isolation and information gap due to lack of unified data exchange standards and information integration mechanism. The purpose of this research is to build a modeling framework ...

Operation and maintenance (O&M) of underground utilities is crucial to ensure normal functionality by performing different inspection activities. A variety data are required staff evaluate utility condition make decisions in planning works. Nevertheless, for O&M usually originated from sources, with various formats or representations. Interpreting integrating such heterogenous remains a signifi...

The business rules that underlie an enterprise emerge as a new category of system requirements that represent decisions about how to run the business, and which are characterized by their business-orientation and their propensity for change. In this paper, we introduce a decision making methodology which addresses several aspects of the business rules lifecycle: acquisition, deployment and evol...

Although current object-oriented analysis and design methods and modeling languages have each a rich set of semantics and syntax to support the modeling of software systems, their support for business modeling has been more limited. In addition, there is no full lifecycle support for the challenges posed by componentbased development and integration (CBDI). The transition and traceability from ...

Consistent definition, categorization and operationalization of products (e.g. extended products, bundles, etc) delivered to global markets and customized for different buyer segments is one of the major challenges for the Lifecycle Management. Each lifecycle encompasses the processes, information, support systems and people involved in delivering the related business functions. It can be argue...

This software present a hybrid methodology for project software management and a decision support system developed from the proposed methodology. In this, the tasks must be preliminarily assigned to each level of seniority by the linear programming method for assigning tasks, so as to minimize the total execution time of the project stages. The project management is then performed by Scrum (Nep...
