PARADIGMAS "CAUCASUS INITIATIVE" : Supply Chain - Trade & Transport:

Joint Project Idea for Tempus
Reflecting the EU initiative “Tempus: Modernizing higher education”, PARADIGMA aims to develop the following action as a joint project to support the development of the historical silk road region. [more...]

Trade & Transport statistics:

In cooperation with the University of Vienna (Dr.Karl Fröschl and Dr.Michaela Denk) PARADIGMA implemented a  harmonized data space reconciling a variety of different data sources relevant for transport statistics. The underlying conceptual data model is sufficiently general to include survey and traffic count data as well as trade data to assess the potential for a shift of freight from road to other traffic modes, notably rail. This research effort is part of the ALPCHECK project, which has been financed by the European Union's Alpine Space program.

BSOPT:

The BSopt project will deliver an integrated methodology for inter-organizational systems spanning from business models over business process models to their execution in a service-oriented architecture (SOA). BSopt will integrate a domain (the print media industry) specific ontology in a generic business process model. Tantamount to obtain user acceptance is tool support for the BSopt methodology. Following advanced software engineering concepts, we will implement the integrated BSopt approach as a software factory.

The goal of a software factory-based approach is to create high quality code in shorter time. Code created by the BSopt tools are deployment artifacts (BPEL, WSDL, XAML,etc..) to be consumed by existing software environments – in our case the Oracle SOA Suite and the Microsoft Workflow Foundation. The BSopt approach will be validated by case studies in the print media industry.
