An Enterprise Coherence Quantification Framework for General Enterprise Architecting
No full textEnterprise coherence pertains to the extent to which all relevant aspects of an enterprise are connected in such a way that these connections facilitate an enterprise in obtaining/meeting its desired results. The GEA (General Enterprise Architecting) method treats enterprise coherence as something that can be governed explicitly. GEA’s Enterprise Coherence Framework (ECF) is qualitative in nature. Being able to really measure enterprise coherence would greatly support the analysis of enterprise coherence. In this paper we setup a research approach for developing enterprise coherence metrics and perform a first step in working towards an Enterprise Coherence Quantification Framework (ECQF) as part of a methodology. A case from GEA training practice is used for validation of a first application of the ECQF
Flexible Enterprise Optimization with Constraint Programming
No full textSimulation–optimization is often used in enterprise decision-making processes, both operational and tactical. This paper shows how an intuitive mapping from descriptive problem to optimization model can be realized with Constraint Programming (CP). It shows how a CP model can be constructed given a simulation model and a set of business goals. The approach is to train a neural network (NN) on simulation model inputs and outputs, and embed the NN into the CP model together with a set of soft constraints that represent business goals. We study this novel simulation–optimization approach through a set of experiments, finding that it is flexible to changing multiple objectives simultaneously, allows an intuitive mapping from business goals expressed in natural language to a formal model suitable for state-of-the-art optimization solvers, and is realizable for diverse managerial problems.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceAlgorithmic
Data management:Relational vs blockchain databases
Full text linkThis paper presents an initial exploitative study of how the relational and blockchain databases compare in defining and deploying data structures, populating these with new entries, and retrieving the relevant data for further use. The aim of this study is to better inform the software developers in general and the distributed application developers in particular
