Towards a model-based approach to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning (2015)
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.

Metaheuristic design pattern: Preference (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In interactive metaheuristic search, the human helps to steer the trajectory of the search by providing qualitative evaluation to assist in the selection of solution individuals. It can be challenging to design mechanisms to exploit human qualitative... Read More about Metaheuristic design pattern: Preference.

Blueprint of a semantic business process-aware Enterprise Information Architecture: The EIAOnt ontology (2014)
Book Chapter

A robust design of enterprise information resources and their optimal usage can significantly enhance the information management (IM) capability of an enterprise. Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA) is a critical success factor for this objecti...

Aligning riva-based business process architectures with business goals using the i* framework (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

Semantic derivation of enterprise information architecture from business process architecture (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Risk-driven compliant access controls for clouds (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is widespread agreement that cloud computing have proven cost cutting and agility benefits. However, security and regulatory compliance issues are continuing to challenge the wide acceptance of such technology both from social and commercial st...

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.

Bridging the gap between business process models and service-oriented architectures with reference to the grid environment (2011)
Journal Article

In recent years, organisations have been seeking technological solutions for enacting their business process models using ad-hoc and heuristic approaches. However, limited results have been obtained due to the expansion of business processes across g...

Managing the mappings between domain ontologies and database schemas when formulating relational queries (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In recent years, the tremendous increase in the use of medical knowledge-discovery and decision-support applications has often required clinical researchers to write complex database queries. The users of these data analysis systems are normally unaw... Read More about Managing the mappings between domain ontologies and database schemas when formulating relational queries.

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...

Semantic matching using the UMLS (2009)
Journal Article

Ontology assisted query reformulation using the semantic and assertion capabilities of OWL-DL ontologies (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

End users of recent biomedical information systems are often unaware of the storage structure and access mechanisms of the underlying data sources and can require simplified mechanisms for writing domain specific complex queries. This research aims t... Read More about Ontology assisted query reformulation using the semantic and assertion capabilities of OWL-DL ontologies.
