In this position paper we explain why Architecting Processes, namely processes for using architectures to develop software, should receive more attention. Architectures are viewed as software engineering artifacts that can be used as the basis for developing superior software products. But the development of these products should still be accomplished with the guidance of processes. The process...

For the polymer production industries, the competitive edge will come from the technology that excels in controlling the polymer properties in a consistent way over the entire plant and in maximizing the production performance while keeping safety regulations. Based on the experience in applying advanced process control and scheduling schemes to industrial polyole®n polymerization plants, the s...

Conceptual modeling is an important tool for understanding and revealing weaknesses of business processes. Yet, the current practice in reengineering projects often considers simply the as-is process model as a brain-storming tool. This approach heavily relies on the intuition of the participants and misses a clear description of the quality requirements. Against this background, we identify fo...

Engineering geodesy and geodetic measurement techniques deliver important information within construction processes. This is valid for all phases of the process: the planning phase, the construction phase itself as well as the monitoring after finalisation of the construction work. The aim is the delivery of information in realtime to navigate construction processes with the help of the latest ...

A quality assurance system (QA) should ensure that student needs are met. It also respects accreditation requirements and student perceptions, supports training and development of teaching staff, controls costs and improves efficiency of elearning system.

Nowadays Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is rather a technical problem than an organizational issue in enterprise systems. Due to the increased complexity of EAI processes, it is difficult to guarantee the information quality (IQ) without scientific process control. Information Quality Management (IQM) highlights the control of the business processes by resolving IQ problems through IQ...

In the next example, the signal vector randomization method (SVR1) as given in (9), the deterministic SVR method (SVR2) as given in (11), the frequency estimation method (TK) outlined in Section III, and the spatial smoothing methods are compared. All three sources are perfectly correlated, i.e., they have a zero relative phase angle at each iteration, e.g., multipath propagation where the path...
