The paper descusses the complete process of building and managing a corpora warehouse, including case study involving the development of UML-specifications and patterns, architecture and examples of actual implementations of DBMS tools to support strategic corpora analysis.

the strategic pricing decisions of assembly products in assembly products supply chain are studied in this paper. firstly, a two-stage assembly products supply chain model is developed. by building nash game model, the nash equilibrium solution of pricing strategy of supplier and assemblers is obtained. next, a union decision model is built to analyze the optimal combination pricing strategy of...

Business Intelligence (BI) software aims to enable business users to easily access and analyze relevant enterprise information so that they can make timely and fact-based decisions.

Goal-oriented models have become a consolidated type of artefact in various software and knowledge engineering activities. Several languages exist for representing such type of models but there is a lack of associated methodologies for guiding their construction up to the necessary level of detail. In this paper we present RiSD, a methodology for building Strategic Dependency (SD) models in the...
