The BPMSOA: Linking utility grid services with executable business processes using the π-ADL based proxy router (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Using BPMSOA, both structural and informational contexts of a business process model can be incorporated in its translated π-ADL script. However, this π-ADL based executable script of business process still lacks the behavioural context for specific...

Modelling healthcare processes using role activity diagramming (2008)
Journal Article
This paper presents an investigation into the use of Role Activity Diagramming (RAD) to model complex processes in the healthcare sector, with reference to the process of Cancer Care and Registration in Jordan. We argue that RAD models are generally... Read More about Modelling healthcare processes using role activity diagramming.
Knowledge discovery from medical data: an empirical study with XCS (2008)
Book Chapter
In this chapter we describe the use of a modern learning classifier system to a data mining task. In particular, in collaboration with a medical specialist, we apply XCS to a primary breast cancer data set. Our results indicate more effective knowled...

MammoGrid - a prototype distributed mammographic database for Europe (2007)
Journal Article
This paper describes the prototype for a Europe-wide distributed database of mammograms entitled MammoGrid, which was developed as part of an EU-funded project. The MammoGrid database appears to the user to be a single database, but the mammograms th... Read More about MammoGrid - a prototype distributed mammographic database for Europe.

Experiences of engineering Grid-based medical software (2007)
Journal Article
Objectives: Grid-based technologies are emerging as potential solutions for managing and collaborating distributed resources in the biomedical domain. Few examples exist, however, of successful implementations of Grid-enabled medical systems and even... Read More about Experiences of engineering Grid-based medical software.

Using use case patterns to estimate reusability in software systems (2006)
Journal Article
The applicability of using use case patterns as a basis for software cost estimation in the early stages of software development is described. This required the construction of a use case patterns catalogue using a novel process. The catalogue has be... Read More about Using use case patterns to estimate reusability in software systems.
Digital libraries: From process modelling to grid-based service oriented architecture (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graphical Business Process Modelling Languages (BPML) like Role Activity Diagrams (RAD) provide ease and flexibility for modelling business behaviour. However, these languages show limited applicability in terms of enactment over distributed systems...

Bridging the gap between business models and system models (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper discusses links that may be made between process models and Unified Modelling Language (UML) software specification techniques, working from an argument that the whole complexity of organisational activity cannot be captured by UML alone....

A reflective approach to improve teaching of software engineering in large groups (2003)
Journal Article
The paper delivers as an innovative approach to learning and teaching of software engineering in large groups with reflections on quantitative and qualitative practical investigations run while teaching 170 students at UWE. This has been adopted whil... Read More about A reflective approach to improve teaching of software engineering in large groups.
Business process modelling: Coarse to fine grain mapping using metamodels
Presentation / Conference Contribution
One of the key objectives of Business Process Modelling
is to better understand and visualise business processes in
order to improve and/or enact them in some IT
infrastructure. This modelling perspective becomes more
complicated and challenging... Read More about Business process modelling: Coarse to fine grain mapping using metamodels.
Ontology-driven requirements engineering – a case study of OntoREM in the aerospace context
Presentation / Conference Contribution
OntoREM is an Ontology-driven Requirements Engineering Methodology (process, methods and tools) that aims to improve the quality of requirements while also reducing the time and cost needed to develop, maintain and re-use requirements. In order to ev... Read More about Ontology-driven requirements engineering – a case study of OntoREM in the aerospace context.
Towards a model-based approach to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning
Presentation / Conference Contribution
There is a lack of a standard based approach that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of different e-learning models due to their diversity and complexity. This paper introduces a new evaluation approach to assess the effectiveness of e-learnin... Read More about Towards a model-based approach to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning.
