Despite of increasing software support for Business Process Management (BPM), currently there is still a low degree of automation in the BPM lifecycle, especially when it comes to bridge between the business and IT view on business processes. The goal of Semantic Business Process Management is to achieve more automation in BPM by using semantic technologies. In this paper, we describe on a conc...

This paper proposed a model-driven approach to support enterprise-lifecycle integration. The contents and relationships involved in EI is identified and specified by enterprise integration modeling. The workflow technology is used to support the execution and control of the model and reflect the model to enterprise operations. A unified environment of modeling, simulation, optimization, and exe...

This paper proposes a timing analysis technique that gives practical support to the industrial systems engineering process for large-scale, distributed real-time systems. The technique, known as reservation-based timing analysis (RBA), gives support throughout the lifecycle of the system, from the early stages of system development through to implementation stages and later in-service upgrades....

The aim of this paper is to propose new interoperability solution, based on Info-Engine framework and web services technology to support data exchange and extraction from PLM system, specially the Windchill tool. This solution will be implemented as a connector module of more generic framework, named Digital Factory Assistant (DFA). The DFA framework aims to provide factory workers by a set of ...

There is much information needed to manage the activities and events that occur throughout the lifecycle of an infrastructure system, such as a bridge, including construction and maintenance activities, inspection data, environmental effects, etc. Conventional infrastructure management systems provide only limited support for representing and visualizing the spatio-temporal relationships within...

According to the shortcoming of traditional artificial management mine-maps, the solutions of dynamic management digital mine-maps were proposed. Analyzing of the main tasks and characteristics in lifecycle stages of mining engineering maps, based on the idea and meaning of lifecycle, first we divided mine-maps lifecycle into seven stages, such as design drawing task assignation, design drawing...

Enterprise application upgrades are a major undertaking and if not planned and executed properly could result in major business disruption and eventually trickle up to become boardroom problems. Organizations that invest properly in a solid upgrade or implementation approach are minimizing risk and are more likely to experience long-term success. Oracle's User Productivity Kit (UPK) is a synchr...

This chapter defines a system and a methodology, the Knowledge Collaborative Product Lifecycle Management (KC-PLM) to better support the complete product lifecycle in the industry. The KC-PLM system intends to reduce the lead-time from new product development to production by providing and integrating knowledge platform, based on a semantic information repository, domain ontology, a domain spec...

For comprehensive software lifecycle processes, a trichotomy continues to subsist between the software development processes, enterprise IT processes, and the software runtime environment. Currently, integrating software lifecycle processes requires substantial effort, and the information needed for the execution of (semi-)automated software lifecycle workflows is not readily accessible and is ...
