Cancer has recently become the leading cause of death worldwide according to the World Health Organization. As a consequence, health authorities acknowledge the need to implement prevention and screening programs to decrease its incidence. The efficiency of these programs can be increased by targeting higher risk subsets of the population. Efficient tools capable of monitoring the population risk are therefore needed. Constraints to building cancer risk scores and impacts on the tools platform are presented. Major constraints beyond performance of a risk score concern the role of domain experts and their acceptability by end users. Readability is therefore an important criterion. It is shown that a simple k-nearest-neighbor algorithm can achieve good performance with the help of the domain expert. To illustrate this, a risk score made of only four attributes is presented for the French population.

Security requirements elicitation and modelling are integral for the successful development of secure systems. However, there are a lot of similar yet not identical approaches that currently exist for security requirements modelling, which is confusing for researchers and practitioners hence some characterisation will be useful to give a better overview and understanding of advantages and disadvantages of various approaches. This paper provides a comparative review of i*-based and use case - based security modelling initiatives, using a characterisation framework with several dimensions. Our findings show that both categories of initiatives have significant conceptual similarities in the aspect of modelling language and method process, and coverage of security requirements modelling notions. They have conceptual differences in the aspect of: representation perspective, kind of security requirements engineering activities that are supported, the quality of specification that is generated and the specification techniques used, and the degree of support for software evolution.

In recent years Content Management Systems (CMSs) have increased their presence in organizations and businesses thanks to their efficiency for managing digital content. Specifically, Web applications provided by these organizations have started to use CMS as the core system to support them. For this reason, the CMS-based Web applications have gained popularity rapidly. Despite this fact, current Model Driven Web Engineering (MDWE) methods do not fit well into the CMS domain. Accordingly, their modeling languages lack of expressiveness to represent and capture the key elements needed to develop this kind of Web applications. To address this issue we propose a CMS Common Metamodel that captures the key concerns required to model and implement CMS-based Web applications. This metamodel can be used to extend the modeling languages used in current MDWE methods as well as serving as the base of new modeling languages specified within the CMS domain.

Increasing popularity of the notion of service in the enterprise applications development leads to the new types of inter-organizational collaborations. We can observe a shift in this collaboration from simple exchange of services to the co-creation of transdisciplinary services offering a new and unique value to the involved partners. In this paper we define the notion of transdisciplinary information service and we discuss the main principles, namely communication, collaboration, co-innovation, and agility, to be considered in the transdisciplinary information services co-creation and we identify the existing approaches and techniques that support the implementation of these principles. Finally, we introduce our proposal for the elaboration of a method family supporting the co-creation of transdisciplinary information services. This method family aims to provide a flexible and agile process model based on transdisciplinarity principles and allowing to combine method chunks from different disciplines in order to support collaborative creativity, modeling and development of transdisciplinary services.

Actually, the evaluation of matching tools is an entire, complex and complicated research subject which we are interested in. Complex because matching systems can regroup several matching techniques and complicated considering their multiple users. Considering quality as an important element to define, use and evolve particular systems (as information and manufacturing systems), we extend traditional approaches and we propose an evaluation approach based on software product quality principles. In this paper, we offer an evaluation method based on a quality model (characteristics, sub-characteristics, measures...) adapted to the specificities of scalable matching tools. To illustrate our approach, we provide some evaluation results over two scalable matching tools COMA++ and PLASMA.

Web Services are becoming the cornerstone of modern service-based software applications. Their adequacy to a particular context of use is expressed by means of a service level agreement, written in terms of quality of service's attributes (like response time, availability, etc.). To perform a continuous and accurate assessment of the real quality of service and thus the fulfillment of the service level agreement, monitoring tools for web services have come into play. Each of these tools exhibits its own characteristics that can make it more adequate than others in a concrete situation. The purpose of this paper is to describe these characteristics using the concept of quality model. To do so, we first consider web service monitoring tools in context, by identifying other types of tool they interact with; we then systematically build the quality model by applying a method that has this specific purpose; and last we briefly apply the model to evaluate some exemplar monitoring tools. The paper focuses on commercial web service monitoring tools.

Animated transitions are widely used in many different domains of human activity, ranging from cartoons and movies to computer science for powerfully conveying a message more effectively and efficiently about a phenomenon of interest. This paper reviews a series of techniques for defining, analyzing, and exploiting animated transitions in different types of interactive information systems. A general conceptual model is provided that explicitly links a model of an interactive information system, its model elements and relationships to animated transitions in order to adequately reflect any change of the model into animated transitions. Two instantiations of this conceptual framework are discussed: animated transitions for representing adaptation of the graphical user interface of an interactive system, along with its implementation; and animated transitions between user interface views during development life cycle.

Actors, dependencies, goal satisfaction, ..., in a word, strategic modeling and reasoning, are recurrent matters in many software engineering and information system activities and disciplines. Standing out among other initiatives, i* soon became the preferred strategic analysis framework to many research groups that have adopted it and shaped it to their particular interests. A quick look to the state of the art on information science uncovers a significant number of approaches that use i* one way or another. It is then the perfect time to reflect about the current state of the framework and to issue new opportunities that may pose renovated objectives for researchers and furthermore foster the adoption of i* beyond the scientific community. This keynote identifies some challenges to overcome in this process, with special focus on syntactical and ontological aspects of the framework, and proposes a research agenda related to the most significant of these challenges.

In the last few years, genetic researchers have started to assemble their own genetic analysis tools by reusing and combining available software. Because software development environments are not widely accepted in the Genetics community, geneticists become software developers, and they are force to integrate different solutions and to face programming issues without the required knowledge. A solution to this issue lives in the simplification of the tailored tool development. Geneticists demand development environments where: 1) the required data can be expressed according to their knowledge, and 2) the most common functionality can be easily integrated without programming skills. This PhD work proposes the use of the model-driven paradigm for addressing both concerns and presents an agile way for developing genetic analysis tools.
