In this work, we present a novel framework that comprises four stages of process modeling and multiobjective decision-makings considering monetary and non-monetary aspects. Four stages in early design phases are considered and characterized by the available information for process modeling and assessment. Appropriate modeling methods, and evaluation indicators for economy, life-cycle environmen...

This paper presents a series of completed and ongoing studies that are aimed at understanding the role of the Wikipedians’ rationales in the Wikipedia discussions. We define a rationale as one’s justification of her view-point and suggestion. Our studies demonstrate the po-tential of leveraging the Wikipedians’ rationales in the discussions as resources for future decision-makings and as resour...

UML Profile for MARTE is an extension of UML in the domain of real-time and embedded systems. In this paper, we present a method to evaluate throughput and response time of systems described in MARTE models. A MARTE model we consider includes a use case diagram, a deployment diagram and a set of activity diagrams. We transform a MARTE model into a network of timed automata in UPPAAL and use UPP...

EnFuzion and MOSIX are two packages that represent different approaches to cluster management. EnFuzion is a user-level queuing system that can dispatch a predetermined number of processes to a cluster. It is a commercial version of Nimrod, a tool that supports parameter sweep applications on a variety of platforms. MOSIX, on the other hand, is operating system (kernel) level software that supp...

In process-driven software development environment, process management plays an important role during the process execution. In order to achieve effective management of sofiivare processes, managerial decision makings on development process need to be based on the analysis of the software processes regarding the development environment.
