The starting point is to recognize that the graphical notation for process modelling known as BPMN is on the way to universal adoption. BPMN is generic enough to cater not only to BPM techniques for business automation, but also to more longstanding workflow techniques for the support of processes in...
The aim of this paper was to explore possibilities to build an alarming system based on the results of the application of data mining techniques in genetic evaluations of dairy cattle, in order to assess and assure data quality. The technique used combined data mining using classification and decision-tree algorithms,...
The digital networked economy brings a new paradigm of information flow and interactivity to business and consumers. Yet people are opting out of unsolicited telemarketing call lists, and they are growing more wary of the possibilities of privacy infringement. What's wrong? In some ways, business and other data-handling institutions have...
We consider the problem of maintaining a warehouse of sampled data that "Shadows" a full-scale data warehouse, in order to support quick approximate analytics and metadata discovery. The full-scale warehouse comprises many "Data sets," where a data set is a bag of values; the data sets can vary enormously in...
To compete successfully amid new technologies and regulations, lenders will need to utilize data mining techniques to develop powerful models that can identify undertapped markets with the most potential. This paper illustrates how to gather and preprocess the requisite data for such a project and to develop and assess alternative...
The paper deals with measuring magnetic induction by imaging techniques based on magnetic resonance MR and describe experimental results of mapping the magnetic induction of a dermatological applicator for magnetotherapy performed by MR imaging techniques. The results are compared with theoretical calculation and with measurement carried out with an ordinary...
The main contribution of this paper is twofold: it surveys different types of simulation for supply chain management; and it discusses several methodological issues. These different types of simulation are spreadsheet simulation, system dynamics, discrete-event simulation and business games. Which simulation type should be applied, depends on the type of...
Business Process Redesign BPR is undertaken to achieve order-of-magnitude improvements over ?Old? form of the organisation. Practitioners in the academia and business world have developed a number of methodologies to support this competitive restructuring that forms the current focus of concern, many of which have not been successful.

Diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) is an image modality that is gaining clinical importance. After some preliminaries that describe the fundamentals of this imaging modality, they present a new technique to interpolate the diffusion tensor field, preserving boundaries and the constraint of positive-semi definiteness. Their approach is based on the use...
Cultivating customer loyalty and boosting revenue are challenging in any economic environment. But the trend in past years away from on-site wagering on horse racing and toward off-track betting has added a new dimension to the problem. The Customer Relationship Management CRM techniques that used to lead the race just...
Return on investment ROI analysis of business intelligence BI can be a useful technique for evaluating alternatives, but only if the process is rigorous and evaluates all of the true costs over the life cycle of the technology. Incomplete and inconsistent models can lead to false positives, such as favorable-looking...
A company’s overall success largely depends on the Knowledge Management KM techniques. However, the techniques applied with measurable goals in mind give far better results. Predicting and monitoring Return on Investment ROI is the best means to increase the success rate of IT projects. However, it is important to use...
Close cooperation between academics and industrialists over many years can be of great benefit to both parties. This paper describes how this has led to the development of a unique X-ray imaging technique to visualize and characterize flows in multiphase systems. The purpose of this paper is to highlight one...
The article mentions about the number of advanced response mechanisms are available for controlling oil spills and minimizing their impacts on human health and the environment. The key to effectively combating spills is careful selection and proper use of the equipment and materials best suited to the type of oil...
To understand customer needs, preferences, and behaviors, financial institutions such as banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, and investment advisors are turning to the powerful data mining techniques in STATISTICA Data Miner. These techniques help companies in the financial sector to uncover hidden trends and explain the patterns that affect...
3D freehand ultrasound imaging is becoming a widespread technique in medical examinations. This imaging technique produces a set of irregularly spaced B-scans. Reconstructing a regular grid from these B-scans is a challenging problem that enables the visualization and further analysis of the acquired data. This paper focuses on extending an...
The development of image-guided neurosurgery methods over the past decade has permitted major advances in minimally invasive therapy. A variety of imaging techniques provide vital information about the internal structure of the brain to the neurosurgeon, such as the locations of blood vessels, white matter tracts and regions of cortical...
