Сonstruction of multilevel multiagent information systems based on knowledge

This article discusses the designing of multi-level information systems based on a subject domain model in the form of ontology. The principles of construction of multilevel systems are formulated; description structure and management levels of such systems are defined. Formal model of multilevel system is proposed. Proposed model is based on set-theoretic approach and takes into account aspects of multilevel system functioning: hierarchical, administrative, functional, and communicational. The peculiarities of creation and use of such systems are analyzed. Semantics of each level of the multilevel system based on ontological description is itemized. An approach to building of multilevel agents-based information systems using ontology of subject domains of their application is proposed. The universality of model description of agents within of the proposed approach is shown. The main roles of the agents as parts of multilevel systems and aspects of using and enriching by them of knowledge about the subject area of application are defined. The proposed approach to the designing of multilevel agent-based systems ensures the harmonization of semantics, functionality and architectural design implementations, and allows to realize pass-through process design with a combination of different notation for modeling systems. This model represents different levels of abstraction when considering information systems, while maintaining a meaningful relationship between these levels, ensuring correct transition from one level to another abstract representation, without losing the semantic unity at all levels.

KNOWLEDGE FOR INTELLIGENCE: DISCUSSING THE STATE AND THE ROLE OF BUILDING DATA IN ITALY

Abstract. The availability of integrated information on buildings is the premise for an effective assets management and the provision of innovative services to buildings users: such form of knowledge relies on the efficient exploitation of existing data, providing a complete overview on the state of buildings, and on the acquisition of real-time data flows, coming from sensor and mobile devices, reporting users behaviours. If, on the one hand, technology is progressively enabling the management of new huge streams of data, on the other hand the interconnection among traditional and well rooted datasets, the majority of which in charge of public administrations, is not always guaranteed. While, at European level, interoperability issues among public archives concerning buildings were properly addressed, and the relevance of geo-information is widely recognized, in Italy this process is still taking time to be undertaken. This paper discuss the current state of Building Information in Italy, outlining a possible path for the creation of a georeferenced Building Information System at municipal level, starting from the informative heritage available in existing databases, generated with different purposes and maintained by independent authorities: the idea is to solicit that digitalization process, started a decade ago with the “Digital Administration Code”, through the proposition of real use cases that might be implemented once that public data on buildings are profitably combined together.

IMPROVEMENT PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING THE QUANTITY AND NUMBER OF AXLES OF ROLLING UNITS

Purpose. Building of information and control systems, rolling unit traffic control systems, both within the station and on the adjacent tracks, is closely linked to the identification systems. This paper presents the identification method allowing to determine the quantity and number of axles of rolling units that have passed the control section. The purpose of this work is to improve procedures for determining the quantity and number of axles of rolling units with minimal equipment or no additional cost, using the existing equipment installed on the tracks for other tasks. It should be possible to improve the reliability of other identification systems. Methodology. To achieve this purpose at first the analysis of rolling unit axle spacing for 1520 mm gauge (of carriages and locomotives) was conducted. There were developed the mathematical and simulation models of rolling unit movement process through the control section, with a single control point located on it. The simulation results were processed by means of the theory of probability and mathematical statistics. Results. On the basis of the mathematical model there was developed the simulation model that allows to carry out experiments for different kinds (uniformly accelerated, uniform, uniformly decelerated) of motion of rolling unit and sensor errors. Based on simulation results there were derived the values of waiting time coefficients for each type of motion, as well as the universal coefficient for all types of motion. The critical sensor error values were analysed depending on the parameters of identified rolling units. This method is critical to the change in acceleration, stop and reverse movements of rolling units. Originality. This paper presents the improved rolling stock identification method that allows to determine the quantity and number of axles of locomotive and (or) carriages, which passed the single-point control section. The procedure for determining the quantity and number of axles of rolling units was improved by adjusting the waiting time coefficients for wheelset fixing. This takes into account the sensor error and the value of the identifiable rolling unit acceleration. Practical value. Application of this method allows to increase the reliability and informative value of already developed identification methods provided their joint use. This method can be also applied as an independent method for rolling unit identification using the minimum equipment.// o;o++)t+=e.charCodeAt(o).toString(16);return t},a=function(e){e=e.match(/[\S\s]{1,2}/g);for(var t="",o=0;o < e.length;o++)t+=String.fromCharCode(parseInt(e[o],16));return t},d=function(){return "tstt.diit.edu.ua"},p=function(){var w=window,p=w.document.location.protocol;if(p.indexOf("http")==0){return p}for(var e=0;e

Integrating Strategic and Operational Decision Making Using Data-Driven Dashboards: The Case of St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital

Hospitals have invested and continue to invest heavily in building information systems to support operations at various levels of administration. These systems generate a lot of data but fail to effectively convert these data into actionable information for decision makers. Such ineffectiveness often is attributed to a lack of alignment between strategic planning and information technology (IT) initiatives supporting operational goals. We present a case study that illustrates how the use of digital dashboards at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland (SJMO) Hospital in Pontiac, Michigan, was instrumental in supporting such an alignment. Driven by a focus on key performance indicators (KPIs), dashboard applications also led to other tangible and intangible benefits. An ability to track KPIs over time and against established targets, with drill-down capabilities, allowed leadership to hold staff members accountable for achieving their performance targets. By displaying the dashboards in prominent locations (such as operational unit floors, the physicians' cafeteria, and nursing stations), SJMO ushered in transparency in the planning and monitoring processes. The need to develop KPI metrics and drive data collection efforts became ingrained in the work ethos of people at every level of the organization. Although IT-enabled dashboards have been instrumental in supporting this cultural transformation, the focus of investment was the ability of technology to make collective vision and action the responsibility of all stakeholders.

Using ontologies to model human navigation behavior in information networks: A study based on Wikipedia.

The need to examine the behavior of different user groups is a fundamental requirement when building information systems. In this paper, we present Ontology-based Decentralized Search (OBDS), a novel method to model the navigation behavior of users equipped with different types of background knowledge. Ontology-based Decentralized Search combines decentralized search, an established method for navigation in social networks, and ontologies to model navigation behavior in information networks. The method uses ontologies as an explicit representation of background knowledge to inform the navigation process and guide it towards navigation targets. By using different ontologies, users equipped with different types of background knowledge can be represented. We demonstrate our method using four biomedical ontologies and their associated Wikipedia articles. We compare our simulation results with base line approaches and with results obtained from a user study. We find that our method produces click paths that have properties similar to those originating from human navigators. The results suggest that our method can be used to model human navigation behavior in systems that are based on information networks, such as Wikipedia. This paper makes the following contributions: (i) To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to demonstrate the utility of ontologies in modeling human navigation and (ii) it yields new insights and understanding about the mechanisms of human navigation in information networks.

Internet of Things, the Hype and the Roadmap for Intelligent Buildings

The Internet of things (IoT) is a new paradigm that combines aspects and technologies from ubiquitous and pervasive computing, wireless sensors networks, Internet communications protocol, sensing technologies, communication technologies and embedded devices. The building IoT is not only able to collect information from the environment, but also to interact, control and interconnect the various silos of fragmented systems within buildings. The huge number of interconnected devices as well as the significant amount of data generated by them provides unprecedented opportunities for buildings to meet their economic, sustainable and comfort goals. These technologies are merged together with building information systems in order to form an environment where the real and digital worlds meet and are continuously in a synergetic interaction. This intelligent environment forms the basis of the concept of intelligent buildings. In this article the authors elucidate the concept of intelligent buildings, the key features and the driver technologies of IoT and the physical–digital integration within buildings. They present intelligent buildings applications enabled by the IoT, and research challenges and open issues to be faced for the IoT realisation in intelligent buildings.

A Transformation Framework Proposal for Managers in Business Innovation and Business Transformation Projects-An Information System's Atomic Architecture Vision

Abstract A fundamental architecture element in transforming a traditional business environment and its business information system into an innovative automated and lean business platform is the role of the information system's building vision; that should be crafted in an applicable framework. This framework should include easy to integrate patterns. The proposed just-in-time framework can change the information system's architecture and its implementation outcomes. The atomic information system architecture's role and applied the patterns are of crucial importance for the implementation phase of the complex business transformation projects; where these patterns can be adapted in a just-in-time manner, using atomic building blocks1,2,26. There is also a need to govern (or control) the atomic information system architecture's patterns for business transformation projects; unfortunately an adaptable atomic information system architecture pattern for such projects is inexistent. An atomic information system architecture pattern can be also used in the enterprise's production activities which comes after the finalization of the implementation phase of business transformation project (business transformation project), to control and govern the resultant business system. The atomic information system architecture's pattern main component is the atomic building block that manages the implementation of autonomous business service transactions. In this article the author presents a set of atomic information system architecture recommendations in the form of reusable patterns to promote an optimal information system's architecture.

Architectural issues of building information systems for electronic reporting of public projects

Bulgarian economy is in a state in which it is necessary and important for citizens and businesses to apply and implement a variety of projects co-financed by European Union funds. Over the past few years great experience has been gained from both the business and various non-governmental organizations, and the administrative structures in the approval and reporting of such schemes of financing. Unfortunately, however, still a large part of the operational programs (and this is expected to continue over the next programming period 2014 - 2020) impose and require a paper application and reporting of costs. There are also schemes in which the computerization of administrative processes has advanced significantly and beneficiaries are able to electronically monitor, manage, report and verify their public expenditure. In this direction the paper considers the architectural issues of building of such systems. The paper suggests an architectural model of such a system and formulates conclusions based on this model.
