OntoBioethics: A framework for the agile development of bioethics ontologies in pandemics, applied to COVID-19 (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Few ontological attempts have been reported for conceptualizing the bioethics domain. In addition to limited scope representativeness and lack of robust methodological approaches in driving research design and evaluation of bioethics onto...

Extending the scope of configuration management for the development and life cycle support of systems of systems - An ontology‐driven framework applied to the Enceladus Submarine Exploration Lander (2020)
Journal Article

Increasingly complex systems of systems (SoS) have to be developed in ever shorter times-to-market at reduced costs and with high reliability. In addition, as the life cycle of such SoS frequently spans across several decades, customer expectations a...

Deriving object-based business process architecture using knowledge management enablers (2019)
Journal Article

This paper discusses a semantic-driven approach to deriving an object-based Business Process Architecture (BPA) using Knowledge Management Enablers (KMEs). The semantic enriched Riva BPA (srBPA) ontology has been selected as an object and ontology b...

eLEM: A novel e-Learner Experience Model (2017)
Journal Article

Many e-learning artefacts have been developed and promoted based on their ability to enhance learning and e-learner experience. However, there is a lack of precise definition of what the e-learner experience implies and associated models to inform th... Read More about eLEM: A novel e-Learner Experience Model.

Towards a generalised e-learning business process model (2017)
Journal Article

Modelling learning scenarios is central for e-learning domain. This has been manifested in the proliferation of the different Educational Modelling Languages, as well as in developed e-learning models. However, the existing modelled scenarios are def...

OntoSoS.CM: A business process architecture driven and semantically enriched change management framework for systems of systems engineering (2016)
Journal Article

Abstract— The emergence of Systems of Systems (SoS)arrangements, with their high level of complexity, mainly due to the different characteristics of the individual systems and their integration into the respective SoS, has brought about new challenge...

Ontology-driven relational query formulation using the semantic and assertional capabilities of OWL-DL (2012)
Journal Article

This work investigates the extent to which domain knowledge, expressed in a domain ontology, can assist end-users in formulating relational queries that can be executed over a complex relational database. In this regard, an ontology-driven query form... Read More about Ontology-driven relational query formulation using the semantic and assertional capabilities of OWL-DL.

Translating RAD business process mModels into to BPMN models (2011)
Journal Article

Modelling business processes using BPMN has been emerging as the preferred choice for organisations seeking to enact their business processes in service-oriented environments. However, a number of organisations have their business processes modelled... Read More about Translating RAD business process mModels into to BPMN models.

Ontology-driven requirements engineering with reference to the aerospace industry (2010)
Journal Article

Semantic matching using the UMLS (2009)
Journal Article

BPAOntoSOA: A semantically enriched framework to derive software service oriented models from business process architectures (2009)
Journal Article

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming the architectural style of choice in many enterprises that adopt the notion of business process architecture. This suggests the need for a systematic and unified approach to generate a service model fro...

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.

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.

New approach for extracting knowledge from the XCS learning classifier system (2007)
Journal Article

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.

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.
