On business process model transformations

by Wasim Sadiq, Maria E. Orlowska - Lecture Notes in Computer Science , 1920
"... Abstract. A business process model represents the basic building block for a workflow-enabled enterprise information system. Generally, a process model evolves through numerous changes during its lifetime to meet dynamic and changing business requirements. It is essential that such changes are intro ..."

A framework for information systems architecture.

by J A Zachman - IBM Syst. J., , 1987
"... With increasing size and complexity of the implementations of information systems, it is necessary to use some logical construct (or architecture) for defining and controlling the interfaces and the integration of all of the components of the system. This paper defines information systems architect ..."

Workflow-Enabled Distributed Component-Based Information Architecture for Digital Medical Imaging Enterprises

by Stephen T. C. Wong, Donny Tj, Huili Wang, Weimin Shen - IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine , 2003
"... Abstract—Few information systems today offer a flexible means to define and manage the automated part of radiology processes, which provide clinical imaging services for the entire healthcare organization. Even fewer of them provide a coherent architecture that can easily cope with heterogeneity and ..."

be automated by customized workflow process. Clinical service applications are implemented as active components. They can be reasonably substituted by applications of local adaptations and can be multiplied for fault tolerance and load balancing. Furthermore, the workflow-enabled digital radiology system would

An Overview of Workflow Management: From Process Modeling to Workflow Automation Infrastructure

by Diimitrios Georgakopoulos, Mark Hornick, Amit Sheth - DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL DATABASES , 1995
"... Today’s business enterprises must deal with global competition, reduce the cost of doing business, and rapidly develop new services and products. To address these requirements enterprises must constantly reconsider and optimize the way they do business and change their information systems and appl ..."

The Ponder Policy Specification Language

by Nicodemos Damianou , Naranker Dulay , Emil Lupu , Morris Sloman - LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE , 2001
"... The Ponder language provides a common means of specifying security policies that map onto various access control implementation mechanisms for firewalls, operating systems, databases and Java. It supports obligation policies that are event triggered conditionaction rules for policy based management ..."

These reusable composite policy specifications cater for the complexity of large enterprise information

Building a Large Annotated Corpus of English: The Penn Treebank

by Mitchell P. Marcus, Beatrice Santorini, Mary Ann Marcinkiewicz - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1993
"... There is a growing consensus that significant, rapid progress can be made in both text understanding and spoken language understanding by investigating those phenomena that occur most centrally in naturally occurring unconstrained materials and by attempting to automatically extract information abou ..."

Designing Guideline-based Workflow-enabled Electronic Health Records

by Sistine A. Barretto, Jim Warren, Andrew Goodchild
"... With the rising prevalence of chronic illness, there is a growing pressure to develop systems that engender evidence-based care. The potential for workflow support to coordinate services and improve communication in the context of chronic disease management is intuitively appealing, but is still a c ..."

challenging (and hence rarely seen) accomplishment in practice. We examine the problem of achieving a close relationship of Electronic Health Record (EHR) content to other components of a clinical information system (guidelines, decision support and workflow), with particular emphasis on integrating the EHR

Origins of the Modern Mind: Three Stages in the Evolution of Culture and Cognition

by Merlin Donald , 1991
"... This book was an attempt to synthesize various sources of information--neurobiological, psychological, archeological and anthropological, among others--about our cognitive origins, in the belief that the human mind co-evolved in close interaction with both brain and culture. I should make clear from ..."

Temporal databases

by Richard Thomas Snodgrass - IEEE Computer , 1986
"... A temporal database (see Temporal Database) contains time-varying data. Time is an important aspect of all real-world phenomena. Events occur at specific points in time; objects and the relationships among objects exist over time. The ability to model this temporal dimension of the real world is ess ..."

Conventional databases represent the state of an enterprise at a

Data Caching Issues in an Information Retrieval System

by Rafael Alonso, Daniel Barbara, Hector Garcia-molina - ACM Transactions on Database Systems , 1990
"... Currently, a variety of information retrieval systems are available to potential users. These services are provided by commercial enterprises (such as Dow Jones [6] and The Source [7]), while others are research efforts (the Boston Community Information System [S]). While in many cases these systems ..."
