Using assertion capabilities of an OWL-based ontology for query formulation (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper reports on the development of a framework to assist users in formulating relational queries without requiring a complete knowledge of the information structure and access mechanisms to underlying data sources. The emphasis here is on explo... Read More about Using assertion capabilities of an OWL-based ontology for query formulation.

From process-driven to knowledge driven requirements engineering using domain ontology (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...

Business process modelling: Coarse to fine grain mapping using metamodels (2008)
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.

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...

A new hybrid architecture for the discovery and compaction of knowledge from breast cancer datasets (2008)
Report

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.

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.

A framework for translating RAD business process models into π-adl (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

Mining breast cancer data with XCS (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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

Process architecture for digital libraries using RIVA and role activity diagraming (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

N/A

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.

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.
