An open platform to build,evaluate and simulate integrated models of farming and agro-ecosystems

Due to significant changes in agro-ecological contexts, farmers need new solutions to produce goods. Modelling complements field experiments in the design of new farming systems. French researchers involved in such design issues developed a specific modelling platform to help model, simulate and evaluate cropping systems. After testing several existing environments, the RECORD platform was developed under the VLE environment, allowing the design of atomic and coupled models. It integrates different time steps and spatial scales and proposes some standard formalisms used to model agro-ecosystems (e.g. difference equations, differential equations, state charts…). A graphic user interface was designed to simplify coding tasks. A variety of research projects already use this platform. Examples are given showing the ability to recode simple models, encapsulate more complex models, link with GIS and databases, and use the R statistical package to run models and analyse simulation outputs. The option to use web interfaces enables application by non-scientist end-users. As the models follow a given standard, they can be placed in a repository and used by other researchers. Linking RECORD to other international platforms is now a compelling issue.

From enterprise models to scheduling models: bridging the gap

Enterprise models cover all aspects of modern enterprises, from accounting, through management of custom orders and invoicing, to operational data such as records on machines and workers. In other words, all data necessary for running the company are available in enterprise models. However, these data are not in the proper format for some tasks such as scheduling and optimization. Namely, the concepts and terminology used in enterprise models are different from what is traditionally used in scheduling and optimization software. This paper deals with the automated translation of data from the enterprise model to a scheduling model and back. In particular, we describe how to extract data from the enterprise model for solving the scheduling problem using constraint-based solvers.

Reusing semi-specified behavior models in systems analysis and design

As the structural and behavioral complexity of systems has increased, so has interest in reusing modules in early development phases. Developing reusable modules and then weaving them into specific systems has been addressed by many approaches, including plug-and-play software component technologies, aspect-oriented techniques, design patterns, superimposition, and product line techniques. Most of these ideas are expressed in an object-oriented framework, so they reuse behaviors after dividing them into methods that are owned by classes. In this paper, we present a crosscutting reuse approach that applies object-process methodology (OPM). OPM, which unifies system structure and behavior in a single view, supports the notion of a process class that does not belong to and is not encapsulated in an object class, but rather stands alone, capable of getting input objects and producing output objects. The approach features the ability to specify modules generically and concretize them in the target application. This is done in a three-step process: designing generic and target modules, weaving them into the system under development, and refining the combined specification in a way that enables the individual modules to be modified after their reuse. Rules for specifying and combining modules are defined and exemplified, showing the flexibility and benefits of this approach.

Using computer controlled physical models to analyze computer integrated manufacturing systems

It is usually difficult to design and install complex computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems without a large amount of time spent on debugging. In many cases miniature computer controlled physical models can provide information that reduces the time spent in the design and installation of larger systems. This paper describes how miniature physical models can be used to help industrial engineers design and install CIM systems.     

From enterprise architecture to business models and back

In this study, we argue that important IT change processes affecting an organization’s enterprise architecture are also mirrored by a change in the organization’s business model. An analysis of the business model may establish whether the architecture change has value for the business. Therefore, in order to facilitate such analyses, we propose an approach to relate enterprise models specified in ArchiMate to business models, modeled using Osterwalder’s Business Model Canvas. Our approach is accompanied by a method that supports business model-driven migration from a baseline architecture to a target architecture and is demonstrated by means of a case study.     

DYSCS: A platform to build geographically and semantically enhanced social content sites

Social content sites allow ordinary internet users to upload, edit, share, and annotate Web content with freely chosen keywords called tags. However, tags are only useful to the extent that they are processable by users and machines, which is often not the case since users frequently provide ambiguous and idiosyncratic tags. Thereby, many social content sites are starting to allow users to enrich their tags with semantic metadata, such as the GeoSocial Content Sites, for example, where users can annotate their tags with geographic metadata. But geographic metadata alone only unveils a very specific facet of a tag, which leads to the need for more general purpose semantic metadata. This paper introduces DYSCS – Do it Yourself Social Content Sites – a platform that combines Web 2.0 and Semantic Web technologies for assisting users in creating their own social content sites enriched with geographic and general purpose semantics. Moreover, DYSCS is highly reusable and interoperable, which are consequences of its ontology driven architecture.     

An ontological intelligent agent platform to establish an ecological virtual enterprise

A virtual enterprise (VE) is a dynamic alliance of companies collaborating for the accomplishment of a specific business goal. To establish a VE, it is very important for the VE initiator to select appropriate partners. General criteria such as price, lead time, quality, etc. are the major concerns for most VE initiators. However, in today’s environmentally conscious society, environmental issues such as enterprise green image, product eco-design, etc. are increasingly receiving attention. Thus, it is worth to research on how to select the appropriate collaborative partners to establish an ecological VE.The objective of this paper is to establish a multi-agent system platform for individual companies to form an ecological VE based on ontology theory and intelligent agents. The ontological approaches include shared ontology construction, ontology matching, ontology integration, ontology storage and ontology reasoning. In the generalized case that the VE initiator is a manufacturer and the collaborating partner are suppliers, the multi-agent system comprises three types of intelligent agents, namely, knowledge manager agent (KMrA), manufacturer agent (MA) and supplier agent (SA). MA and SA represent the capabilities and interests of the VE initiator and the VE partners, respectively. KMrA is in charge of functioning sub-tasks of the ontological approach. To select partners for the ecological VE, the VE initiator will also consider the environmental criteria, in addition to the general supplier selection criteria such as price, quantity, quality and lead time. The environmental criteria may include factors such as environmental management, green image, green product and pollution control. The complete set of selection criteria, including the environmental criteria, are categorised into quantitative or qualitative criteria. The formation of ecological VE is then divided into two stages, that is, candidate supplier selection based on qualitative criteria, and ultimate supplier selection based on quantitative criteria. A simplified example is introduced to illustrate and justify the proposed ontological approaches and intelligent agent platform.     

Application of 3-D models to computer vision

A flexible computer vision is described which is able to recognize 3-D objects if their models are given. The models can be built in a CAD process using a geometric modeler GEOMAP. Three cases are studied: surface normals are available, a part of surface normals are available, and range data is available. In order to perform efficient matching, three methods are proposed for those cases: use of EGI representation, use of relative angles between surface normals, and use of kernels.

Intuition and computer models

Models of pattern-generating cellular sheets were devised to gain insight into the origin of patterns in embryogenesis. Students, many of whom had no previous experience with computers, worked with these models to test the effect of various assumptions. A number of discoveries of possible biological importance were made, but an unexpected discovery was the usefulness of human intuition. When the computer and its program made user interaction easy, the user “played” the model as one might play an arcade game. The model's capabilities and limits were grasped intuitively. Later, analysis led us to new assumptions and new models. Thus the work progressed quite effectively with alternating intuition and cerebration. Microcomputers are particularly effective in this method of research.     

Wire frame: A reliable approach to build sealed engineering geological models

The technique of 3D geological modeling (3DGM) is an effective tool for representing complex geological objects. In order to improve the accuracy of geological models applied in numerical simulation methods such as finite elements and finite differences, we can use 3DGM as a modeling tool. To do this, however, 3DGM must provide the ability to model geological and artificial objects in a unified way, and its geological model must be seamless for mesh generation. We present the concept of a sealed engineering geological model (SEGM), and describe its topological representation. Three kinds of conditions: geometric continuity, topological consistency and geological consistency, which must be satisfied by SEGM, are discussed in detail. A new method for constructing an SEGM based on a wire frame is proposed. It includes three main components: wire frame construction, interface modification and reconstruction, and block tracing. Building a unitary wire frame, which is composed of many simple arcs and connects all interfaces seamlessly, is the key of this method. An algorithm, involving two intersections computations and partition of simple arcs, is proposed for building a wire frame. Additionally, we also propose a local iterative algorithm for computing fault traces. As an example, we build an SEGM for the dam area of a hydraulic engineering project in the HuNan province of China.     

Extending ER models to capture database transformations to build data sets for data mining

In a data mining project developed on a relational database, a significant effort is required to build a data set for analysis. The main reason is that, in general, the database has a collection of normalized tables that must be joined, aggregated and transformed in order to build the required data set. Such scenario results in many complex SQL queries that are written independently from each other, in a disorganized manner. Therefore, the database grows with many tables and views that are not present as entities in the ER model and similar SQL queries are written multiple times, creating problems in database evolution and software maintenance. In this paper, we classify potential database transformations, we extend an ER diagram with entities capturing database transformations and we introduce an algorithm which automates the creation of such extended ER model. We present a case study with a public database illustrating database transformations to build a data set to compute a typical data mining model.     

An update to experimental models for validating computer technology

In 1998 a survey was published on the extent to which software engineering papers validate the claims made in those papers. The survey looked at publications in 1985, 1990 and 1995. This current paper updates that survey with data from 2000 to 2005. The basic conclusion is that the situation is improving. One earlier complaint that access to data repositories was difficult is becoming less prevalent and the percentage of papers including validation is increasing.
