DISTRIBUTED ONTOLOGY BASED INFRASTRUCTURE : FOCUS IN E-GOVERNMENT
No full textSemantic Web technologies enable challenging and novel applications, but come with two major
drawbacks. Modelling tools are mainly designed for use by ontology experts but not for end user, who do
not think in terms of concepts, instances or properties. Building ontologies is difficult and time
consuming, as reuse of ontologies is limited. An argument often heard is that for the new application only
part of the existing ontologies could be reused while other parts do not reflect the view of the new
application. In this work we propose the use of semantic and ontology in the e-Government and think of
solutions that can help people through the distributed ontologie

Context Planning and User Profiling in Mobile Services
No full textThe objective of this paper is to analyze the prerequisites and enablers for context-aware mobile services, to make context- aware services a reality, the user perspective, the business perspective, as well as the required technological enablers, have to be understood. This paper aims at summarizing briefly the current issues and prioritizing future work to foster the evolution of user-centric services that adapt to changing context and, therefore, also to user needs.. Furthermore we analyze the enablers for context-aware services: context provisioning and user profiling respectively. Finally, we discusses the envisioned user-centric services that employ the enablers to adapt to changing context and user needs

No full textFormal Methods to Improve Public Administration Business Processes
No full textStarting from late 90’s the public administration has started to employ a quite relevant amount of its budget in develop ing ICT solutions to better deliver services to citizens. In spite of this effort many statistics show that the mere availability of ICT based services does not guarantee per se their usage. Citizens have continued to largely access services through “traditional” means. In our study we suggest that the highlighted situation is partly due to the fact that relevant domain dependent requirements, mainly related to the delivery process of e-government digital services, are often ignored in the development of e-government solutions. We provide here a domain related quality framework and encoded it in a set of formal statements, so that we can apply automatic verification techniques to assess and improve ICT solutions adopted by public administrations. The paper discusses both the defined quality framework and the tool chain we developed to enable automatic assessment of ICT solutions. The tool chain is based on a denotational mapping of business process modeling notation elements into process algebraic descriptions and to the encoding of quality requirements in linear temporal logic formulas. The resulting approach has been applied to real case studies with encouraging results
Business Management and Mobile Experience
No full textThe large-scale access to content resources, the current change in the
audience expectations, together with an underuse of the potentialities
offered by mobile technology calls for a rethinking of the role of mobile
interpretation within private and public business manager. Right in the
in the area of intersection between business innovation and technology
moves the paper, which deals, with the role of mobile technology in
fostering learning and social engagement during the user experience.
The main aim is indeed to provide developers with a framework able to
guide a conscious design of content mobile experiences, fully exploiting
the potentialities offered by this kind of technologies with clear
objectives and the awareness of the means to achieve them. The spread
of smartphones and tablets in the consumer market is having a big
impact on the world of enterprise IT, with consumer-focused mobile
devices making their way into the organization through the
bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend. One important aspect of coping
with BYOD that is getting less attention, however, is the impact of
employee data privacy legislation and how this creates constraints for
IT managers implementing a BYOD policy. In this paper we have tried
to provide answers to the many questions that innovation, business and
mobile experience pose
