This paper discusses Five Management Pillars for Digital Transformation integrating the Lean Thinking Philosophy. It proposes a "Digital Lean Transformation Framework" where its five management pillars - (Digital) Strategic Management, Processes (Re-)Engin ...
Conceptual models such as database schemas, ontologies or process models have been established as a means for effective engineering of information systems. Yet, for complex systems, conceptual models are created by a variety of stakeholders, which calls fo ...
Mountain regions are considered to be the natural "water towers" of the world due to their importance as sources of many rivers. Reliable tools to estimate the availability and variability of streamflows in such regions are still rare. In this context, the ...
Thermal boundary conductance (TBC) of the Ag/diamond and Au/diamond interfaces with a nanometer-thick interface layer of either nickel or molybdenum is measured by time domain thermoreflectance and modeled based on a 3-layer two-temperature model (3l-TTM). ...
Classification methods from machine learning are receiving a lot of attention in the transportation modelling community. This is motivated by the access to large databases, and to various success stories reported in this research community. Discrete choice ...
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is one of the most multifaceted topics present today in both industry and academia. However, we are involved in a new M&S paradigm. Systems are becoming more complex and new simulation needs arise and have to be studied. As a ...
We use homeostasis, the maintenance of steady states in an organism, to explain some of the decisions made by participants in a business process. We use Vickers’s Appreciative System to model the homeostatic states with Harel’s statecharts. We take the exa ...
The article discusses a model for information value assessment based on the concepts of information capacity, information utility, and information management costs. Notwithstanding that both state-of-the-art researchers and practitioners consider informati ...
