The managing of complex business processes, which are changed due to globalization, calls for the development of powerful information systems that offer generic process modeling and process execution capabilities. Even though contemporary information systems are more and more utilized in enterprises, their actual impact in automatizing complex business process is still limited by the difficulties encountered in design phase. Actually this design phase is time consuming, often subjective and incomplete. In the scope of this study, a reverse approach is followed. Instead of starting with process design, the method of discovering interesting patterns from the navigation traces is taken as basis and a new data analysis methodology named “From-to Chart Based Process Discovery” is proposed. In this hybrid methodology “from-to chart”, which is fundamentally dedicated to material handling issues on production floor, is used as the front-end to monitor the transitions among activities of a realistic event log and convert these raw relations into optimum activity sequence. Then a revised version of process mining, which is the back-end of this methodology, upgrades optimum activity sequence into process model.

A Lightweight Software Process Assessment Approach Based on MDevSPICE((R)) for Medical Device Development Domain
Özcan Top, Özden (2017-09-04)
Software process improvement is challenging in the medical device development domain, as significant constraints exist such as ensuring conformance to regulations while improving software quality. The regulations that medical products are subject to may be overwhelming for organisations as a variety of international standards have to be implemented in order to address regulatory compliance. MDevSPICE® is a framework developed to overcome this challenge by integrating different international regulatory stand...
A survey on piecewise-linear models of regulatory dynamical systems
Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-01)
Recent developments in understanding the various regulatory systems, especially the developments in biology and genomics, stimulated an interest in modelling such systems. Hybrid systems, originally developed for process control applications, provide advances in modelling such systems. A particular class of hybrid systems which are relatively simpler to analyze mathematically but still capable of demonstrating the essential features of many non-linear dynamical systems is piecewise-linear systems. Implement...
A Reflexion Model based Architecture Conformance Analysis Toolkit for OSGi-compliant Applications
Cilden, Evren; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2017-04-07)
Component-based software platforms like OSGi facilitate the development of complex software. As software systems become more complicated, tool support is often a necessity for assuring the conformance between designed and implemented architectures. We present ARTOS, an architecture toolkit to facilitate the design and conformance analysis of the software running on the OSGi platform. The toolkit consists of an architecture editor and a conformance analyzer. The editor provides definition constructs specific...
A Cloud Based Workflow for a Finite Element Analysis Preprocessor
Kurt, Tolga; Arıcı, Yalın; Kurç, Özgür (2015-03-24)
This paper presents a cloud based workflow and a software implementation that has a web-based GUI and a modular backend server which consists of an interface and many worker applications that are distributed over a network of computers or virtual machines. The implemented software is capable of three-dimensional modelling, mesh generation and analysis of large dam models using finite element and analysis. Visualization is performed with a web browser using the JavaScript library three.js which drives the We...
A generic model to solve tactical planning problems in flexible manufacturing systems
Atlihan, MK; Kayaligil, S; Erkip, N (1999-07-01)
This paper is an attempt to develop a generic modeling framework that addresses tactical planning problems of flexible manufacturing systems in a coherent manner. We propose a generic 0-1 mixed integer programming formulation, that integrates batching, loading, and routing problems with their critical aspects related to a system's performance. For this purpose, a thorough analysis is made to determine and relate system components, their attributes, and alternatives together with performance measures specifi...
