The industrial symbiosis (IS) practice refers to replacing production inputs with wastes generated by other production processes, thus helping to close the loop of manufacturing processes. Companies adopting IS can reduce the amounts of wastes disposed of in landfills and primary inputs used in production processes, enhancing their production efficiency and reducing their production cost. The Agent-based modeling (ABM) approach has been recently adopted to advance the knowledge in the IS field, in particular to explore the extent to which the establishment of IS relationships can be affected by policy measures, benefit-sharing contracts, information-sharing tools, or social factors. However, the agentbased models proposed in the literature are highly different in terms of agents considered, their attributes, possible actions, and decisional rules. In particular, these models might result far from the real world, in terms of how the agents are modeled, as well as on the actions that they can undertake. The aim of this paper is to provide a general framework on how to model IS systems with ABM in a comprehensive way. The paper provides a literature review on IS aimed at identifying the potential agents in IS, their attributes, and their potential actions, shaped by technical, economic, and regulatory issues affecting the behavior of agents in terms of strategic management. Based on the results of the literature review, a general framework is proposed and discussed. This paper is expected to advance the knowledge on ABM for IS by providing useful suggestions to modelers and academicians.
工业共生(IS)实践指的是用其他生产过程产生的废物代替生产投入,从而有助于闭合制造过程的循环。采用信息系统的公司可以减少在堆填区处理的废物和生产过程中使用的初级投入物的数量,提高生产效率,降低生产成本。基于主体的建模(ABM)方法最近被用于推进信息系统领域的知识,特别是探索政策措施、利益共享合同、信息共享工具或社会因素对信息系统关系建立的影响程度。然而,文献中提出的基于智能体的模型在考虑的智能体、它们的属性、可能的行为和决策规则方面存在很大差异。特别是,这些模型的结果可能与现实世界相去甚远,就代理的建模方式以及它们可以采取的行动而言。本文的目的是提供一个关于如何用ABM全面建模is系统的一般框架。本文提供了一篇关于IS的文献综述,旨在识别IS中的潜在代理人,他们的属性,以及他们的潜在行为,这些行为受到影响代理人在战略管理方面行为的技术,经济和监管问题的影响。根据文献综述的结果,提出并讨论了一个总体框架。本文希望通过为建模者和学者提供有用的建议,促进对is的ABM的认识。

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a mechanism to support IT investment decisions. What is lacking, is a practical tool like a checklist that can be used by enterprise architects to support IT investment decisions, and more specifically, the business case. The business case is a common practice to justify IT investment decisions. The objective of this research is to investigate how the use of a checklist can support enterprise architects to improve the quality of a business case. To answer this question, we conducted design science and developed and evaluated a checklist that can be used by enterprise architects in the assessment of a business case. The evaluation of the checklist was conducted by means of an experiment. The results of the experiment with 32 architects demonstrate that using a checklist as such does not lead to higher quality improvement suggestions in the assessment of a business case as compared to not using a checklist. In other words, a checklist alone does not make the difference. Discussion of the results of the experiment with focus groups reveals several preconditions for the use of a checklist. In any case, the use of the checklist reduces the risk of overlooking valuable insights to improve the quality of the business case.
企业架构(EA)是一种支持IT投资决策的机制。缺少的是一个实用的工具,如企业架构师可以使用的清单,以支持IT投资决策,更具体地说,是业务用例。业务案例是证明IT投资决策的一种常见做法。本研究的目的是调查检查表的使用如何支持企业架构师提高业务用例的质量。为了回答这个问题,我们进行了设计科学,并开发和评估了企业架构师在评估业务用例时可以使用的检查表。通过实验的方式对检查表进行了评价。32位架构师的实验结果表明,与不使用检查表相比,在业务用例评估中使用检查表并不会产生更高质量的改进建议。换句话说,单凭一张清单并没有什么区别。对焦点小组实验结果的讨论揭示了使用清单的几个先决条件。在任何情况下,使用检查表可以减少忽略有价值的见解的风险,从而提高业务用例的质量。

Patient flow modeling in healthcare plays a large role in understanding the operation of the system and its characteristics. Besides, modeling techniques can significantly improve the effectiveness of the medical facilities. The existing level of automation in these facilities enables the accumulation of large amounts of various data. Therefore, the collected data might be considered as the resource of new valuable knowledge. A novel approach to automatically identify the groups of similar clinical pathways based on event hospital data is presented in the paper. More specifically, the approach summarizes the most frequent pathways by implementing hard and soft clustering algorithms in order to describe the behavior patterns. The obtained clusters of clinical pathways serve as a starting point for the development of a personalized approach in modelling the heterogeneous patient flow in urban medical facilities. The results indicate the suitability of multidimensional time series clustering and Additive Regularization of Topic Models (ARTM) for the clinical event data.
医疗保健中的患者流建模在理解系统的运行及其特征方面起着重要作用。此外,建模技术可以显著提高医疗设施的有效性。这些设施现有的自动化水平使积累大量各种数据成为可能。因此,收集到的数据可以被视为新的有价值知识的资源。本文提出了一种基于事件医院数据自动识别相似临床路径组的新方法。更具体地说,该方法通过实现硬和软聚类算法来总结最常见的路径,以描述行为模式。所获得的临床路径集群可作为开发个性化方法的起点,用于模拟城市医疗设施中的异质患者流。结果表明,多维时间序列聚类和主题模型加性正则化(ARTM)适合临床事件数据。

The Internet of Things (IoT) provides opportunities to control interconnected smart devices via pre-designed scenarios with littleor no human involvement. Due to the need for systematic improvement of industrial energy efficiency, the relevance of IoT-based energy management systems (EMS) is constantly increasing. Industrial IoT (IIoT)-enhanced EMS are created to support the digital transformation of enterprises. They increase the transparency of energy consumption statistics, enhance the personnel awareness of energy losses, provide predictive analytics tools for forecasting potential industrial accidents and future energy demand. This paper hence provides a system architecture of the energy management assistant that can be used at enterprises to archive the aforementioned aims. Authors identify the relevance of EMS, list the conditions at modern enterprises that define the requirements for the energy management assistant, demonstrate the identified requirements in the UML diagrams. Specification of energy planning and energy monitoring stages demonstrate the possibilities of the designed system architecture. For demonstration purposes, authors present examples of linear and nonlinear regression models implemented to specify energy consumption target functions based on real data. Finally, future research directions and open energy management problems are presented. The analysis has been carried out within the priority area of scientific development established in the National Research University Higher School of Economics - "Research on control methods in Cyber-Physical Systems".
物联网(IoT)提供了通过预先设计的场景来控制相互连接的智能设备的机会,而很少或根本没有人为参与。由于系统提高工业能源效率的需要,基于物联网的能源管理系统(EMS)的相关性不断提高。工业物联网(IIoT)增强的EMS旨在支持企业的数字化转型。它们增加了能源消耗统计的透明度,增强了人员对能源损失的认识,为预测潜在的工业事故和未来的能源需求提供了预测分析工具。在此基础上,本文提出了一种可用于企业实现上述目标的能源管理助手系统架构。作者识别了环境管理体系的相关性,列出了现代企业中定义能源管理助手需求的条件,并在UML图中演示了识别的需求。能源规划和能源监测阶段说明了所设计的系统架构的可能性。为了演示目的,作者介绍了基于实际数据实现的用于指定能耗目标函数的线性和非线性回归模型的示例。最后,提出了未来的研究方向和开放性能源管理存在的问题。该分析是在国立研究型大学高等经济学院建立的科学发展优先领域-“网络物理系统控制方法研究”内进行的。

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models and Free Disposal Hull (FDH) models were proposed almost simultaneously in the scientific literature. In DEA models, the constraints generate a convex set. For this reason, optimization methods and software are widely used for modeling and computations for these models. Non-convexity of production possibility set of FDH models refrained significantly the development of these models. In this paper, two methods are proposed for two-and three-dimensional frontier visualization for DEA and FDH models. Computational experiments using real-life datasets documented reliability and effectiveness of proposed methods.
在科学文献中,数据包络分析(DEA)模型和自由处置船体(FDH)模型几乎是同时提出的。在DEA模型中,约束生成一个凸集。因此,优化方法和软件被广泛用于这些模型的建模和计算。外佣模型的生产可能性集的非凸性极大地制约了模型的发展。本文提出了两种DEA和FDH模型的二维和三维边界可视化方法。使用真实数据集的计算实验证明了所提出方法的可靠性和有效性。

In recent years, compliance management has gained more and more interest from a practice and research point of view. The financial service industry, in general, is strongly regulated and has to follow specific laws, standards and guidelines. However, research has shown that little attention is being paid to Value Added Tax (VAT) issues, although there is a high cost and risk exposure, especially in large international companies which use large IT-Infrastructures for tax handling. In this paper, we examine a commonly applied approach for the verification of VAT regulations within Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP) and highlight weaknesses as well as error susceptibilities. Furthermore, we show that machine learning techniques can be utilized to minimize risks and increase VAT compliance. We use a supervised learning classifier to predict tax subjects and corresponding tax rates based on related voucher information of journal reports. By comparing the results of our model with the existing rule-based system of an ERP system, we reveal potential anomalies and compliance issues. Our approach was evaluated on a given real-world data set of a leading chemical industry company that was exported from its ERP system. The results were validated by VAT experts of the company
近年来,从实践和研究的角度来看,合规管理越来越受到人们的关注。总的来说,金融服务业受到严格监管,必须遵守特定的法律、标准和指导方针。然而,研究表明,很少有人关注增值税(VAT)问题,尽管有很高的成本和风险,特别是在使用大型it基础设施进行税务处理的大型国际公司。在本文中,我们研究了一种在企业资源规划系统(ERP)中验证增值税法规的常用方法,并强调了弱点和错误易感性。此外,我们表明机器学习技术可以用来最大限度地降低风险并提高增值税合规性。我们使用监督学习分类器根据期刊报告的相关凭证信息来预测税收主体和相应的税率。通过将我们的模型结果与现有的基于规则的ERP系统进行比较,我们揭示了潜在的异常和合规性问题。我们的方法在给定的真实世界数据集上进行了评估,该数据集来自一家领先的化学工业公司的ERP系统。结果得到了公司增值税专家的验证

Most modern-day enterprises are confronted with the challenge of dealing with digital transformations. Digital transformation (DT) commonly refers to a disruptive process that changes profoundly the way companies compete, interact, and create value. Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) is supposed to be a suitable means to support the management of enterprise transformations and fundamental changes. However, the depth and disruptive nature of the underlying changes raise multiple questions concerning the adequacy of EAM for digital transformation management; in current corporate practice, EAM does not appear to be regularly applied as a support service for digital transformation. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which EAM can provide the required inputs to conduct the activities part of digital transformation endeavors. To this end, we rely on a comparable study found in the literature and extend its scope into digital enterprise transformations. We start by examining which activities need to be carried out to manage digital transformation. We further identify information inputs that are necessary to conduct these activities. We can then analyze whether EAM can supply the required inputs. We will focus on strategic areas of Digital Transformation Management (DTM) and further investigate which information inputs are needed for these DTM activities. When demand and supply are compared, and although EAM provides valuable inputs to organizational issues, EAM shows weaknesses when it comes to information about market trends, contextual and environmental information needed for strategy management activities.
大多数现代企业都面临着处理数字化转型的挑战。数字化转型(DT)通常指的是一个颠覆性的过程,它深刻地改变了企业竞争、互动和创造价值的方式。企业架构管理(EAM)被认为是支持企业转换和基本变更管理的合适方法。然而,潜在变化的深度和破坏性提出了关于EAM是否适合数字化转型管理的多个问题;在当前的企业实践中,EAM似乎并没有被定期应用于数字化转型的支持服务。在本文中,我们调查了EAM在多大程度上可以提供必要的输入来执行数字化转型努力的活动部分。为此,我们依靠文献中发现的一项可比研究,并将其范围扩展到数字化企业转型。我们首先检查需要执行哪些活动来管理数字化转型。我们进一步确定进行这些活动所必需的信息输入。然后,我们可以分析EAM是否可以提供所需的输入。我们将重点关注数字化转型管理(DTM)的战略领域,并进一步调查这些DTM活动需要哪些信息输入。当需求和供给进行比较时,尽管EAM为组织问题提供了有价值的输入,但当涉及到战略管理活动所需的市场趋势信息、上下文和环境信息时,EAM显示出弱点。

When demand and supply are compared, and although EAM provides valuable inputs to organizational issues, EAM shows weaknesses when it comes to information about market trends, contextual and environmental information needed for strategy management activities.","PeriodicalId":193238,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 21st Conference on Business Informatics (CBI)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133508503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cloud services have already become an elementary part of our everyday lives. Nowadays even computer games are executed on powerful cloud servers. These cloud gaming services have many benefits for users, yet they have to fulfil high quality requirements to satisfy users' needs because even minimal performance losses are directly observable and worsen the gaming experience. Traditionally, cloud service providers undergo certifications to increase transparency and address users' quality concerns. However, existing certifications are not applicable in the context of cloud gaming to prove a high service quality, and it remains unclear which requirements a cloud gaming service has to fulfil. We conduct a thorough literature review to identify requirements for cloud gaming services as well as extensively review existing cloud service certifications. At the same time, we pay special attention to the interdependencies between the individual stages of the cloud service provisioning chain. With our study, we advance the understanding of cloud gaming services by providing a synthesis and discussion of requirements that providers need to fulfil to ensure user satisfaction. We guide future research as well as practitioners towards a new generation of cloud service certification for cloud gaming services.
云服务已经成为我们日常生活的基本组成部分。如今,即使是电脑游戏也在强大的云服务器上运行。这些云游戏服务对用户有很多好处,但它们必须满足高质量的要求,以满足用户的需求,因为即使是最小的性能损失也是直接可见的,并且会恶化游戏体验。传统上,云服务提供商通过认证来提高透明度并解决用户对质量的担忧。然而,现有的认证并不适用于云游戏来证明高服务质量,而且目前还不清楚云游戏服务必须满足哪些要求。我们进行了全面的文献审查,以确定云游戏服务的需求,并广泛审查现有的云服务认证。同时,我们特别关注云服务供给链各个阶段之间的相互依赖关系。通过我们的研究,我们通过对供应商需要满足的需求进行综合和讨论,以确保用户满意度,从而提高对云游戏服务的理解。我们引导未来的研究和从业者朝着云游戏服务的新一代云服务认证方向发展。
