Despite their high-level and graphical nature, workkow speciications require a signii-cant amount of implementation detail-e.g. application programming interface, database access and programming mechanisms for information ow-for a more comprehensive validation than is currently possible. This is currently recognised as a deeciency in workkow conceptualisation. Although conceptual modelling tech...

Feature Based Modelling has demonstrated the ability to produce agent models with high accuracy in predicting an agent's future actions. There are a number of respects in which this modelling technique is novel. However, there has been no previous analysis of which aspects of the approach are responsible for its performance. One distinctive feature of the approach is a purpose built induction m...

A gap in the alignment of business and IT lies between strategy and IS, despite the advancements of enterprise modeling. The objective of our study is to compare various enterprise modeling approaches with respect to their ability to capture and represent strategy notions. This includes identifying strategy notions from established business strategy formulations within Strategic Management, whi...

Driver behavior under congestion pricing is analyzed in this study to evaluate the effects of alternative congestion pricing schemes. The analysis, which is based on stated-preference survey results, focuses on time allocation, departure time choice and route choice when a congestion pricing scheme is implemented on toll roads. A unique feature of the model system of this study is that departur...

Comparative metabolic modelling is emerging as a novel field, supported by the development of reliable and standardized approaches for constructing genome-scale metabolic models in high throughput. New software solutions are needed to allow efficient comparative analysis of multiple models in the context of multiple cellular objectives. Here, we present the user-friendly software framework Mult...

Today, there is widespread consensus about the notable, yet simultaneously growing, negative environmental impacts generated by the transportation sector. Experts working in a number of different fields consider the current situation to be unsustainable and possible measures to reduce emissions and foster sustainability are being encouraged. The European Commission has highlighted the need to s...

A chemical behavior of Quercetin as antioxidant and metal chelator has become the subject of intense experimental research. In this paper, we apply a semi empirical approach to study the stability constant of Quercetin with metals like Cd, Pb and Bi. The comparative analysis of the theoretical formation constant of Quercetin-metal complexes with metals with experimental results shows that H-rem...

The notion of capability has been gaining a growing attention in the business and information system (IS) engineering community due to a number of reasons: it facilitates focus on business investments, it can be used as a baseline for business planning, and it directly leads to service specification and design. It is not however widely known to what extent capability is considered in different ...
