Using assertion capabilities of an OWL-based ontology for query formulation (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Munir, K., Odeh, M., Bloodsworth, P., & McClatchey, R. (2008). Using assertion capabilities of an OWL-based ontology for query formulation. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ICTTA.2008.4530296

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.

The BPMSOA: Linking utility grid services with executable business processes using the π-ADL based proxy router (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Khan, Z., & Odeh, M. (2008, April). The BPMSOA: Linking utility grid services with executable business processes using the π-ADL based proxy router. Paper presented at 3nd International IEEE Conference on Information & Communication Technologies from Theory to Application (ICTTA’08),, Damascus, Syria

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
Khan, Z., & Odeh, M. (2008, February). Business process modelling: Coarse to fine grain mapping using metamodels. Paper presented at IASTED Software Engineering Conference (SE2008), Innsbruck, Austria

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.

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
Kharbat, F., Odeh, M., & Bull, L. (2008). Knowledge discovery from medical data: an empirical study with XCS. In L. Bull, E. Bernado-Mansilla, & J. Holmes (Eds.), Learning Classifier Systems in Data Mining. Springer

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...

Using use case patterns to estimate reusability in software systems (2006)
Journal Article
Issa, A., Odeh, M., & Coward, D. (2006). Using use case patterns to estimate reusability in software systems. Information and Software Technology, 48(9), 836-845. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.infsof.2005.10.005

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
