相关论文: Standardization of work: co-constructed practice
Complex networks are frequently employed to model physical or virtual complex systems. When certain entities exist across multiple systems simultaneously, unveiling their corresponding relationships across the networks becomes crucial. This…
Standardness is a popular assumption in the literature on set estimation. It also appears in statistical approaches to topological data analysis, where it is common to assume that the data were sampled from a probability measure that…
Word embeddings represent a transformative technology for analyzing text data in social work research, offering sophisticated tools for understanding case notes, policy documents, research literature, and other text-based materials. This…
Assigning patients to rooms and nurses to patients are critical tasks within hospitals that directly affect patient and staff satisfaction, quality of care, and hospital efficiency. Both patient-to-room assignments and nurse-to-patient…
Network embedding methods map a network's nodes to vectors in an embedding space, in such a way that these representations are useful for estimating some notion of similarity or proximity between pairs of nodes in the network. The quality…
Solving combinatorial optimization problems involve satisfying a set of hard constraints while optimizing some objectives. In this context, exact or approximate methods can be used. While exact methods guarantee the optimal solution, they…
One of the recently proposed strategies in health systems is providing services to patients at home, improving the service quality, besides reducing the health system costs. In the real world, some services, such as biological tests or…
A range of integrated modeling approaches have been developed to enable a holistic representation of business process logic together with all relevant business rules. These approaches address inherent problems with separate documentation of…
Business models of network service providers are undergoing an evolving transformation fueled by vertical customer demands and technological advances such as 5G, Software Defined Networking~(SDN), and Network Function Virtualization~(NFV).…
With the rise of a new generation of applications (e.g., virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, etc) demanding stringent performance requirements, the need for networking solutions and architectures that can enable a higher…
Analysing the development process for an ERP solution, in our case SAP, is one of the most critical processes in implementing standard software packages. Modelling of the proposed system can facilitate the development of enterprise systems…
The nurse scheduling problem is a critical optimization challenge in healthcare management. It aims to balance staffing demands, nurse satisfaction, and patient care quality. Corresponding to the constraints inherent in this scheduling…
Hospitals are distributed across geographical areas and it is important for all hospitals to share information as well as integrate their systems for effective researching and health delivery. Health personals and institutions in need of…
Decision making and requirements scoping occupy central roles in helping to develop products that are demanded by the customers and ensuring company strategies are accurately realized in product scope. Many companies experience continuous…
Normalization is an important database design method, in the course of the teaching of data modeling the understanding and applying of this method cause problems for students the most. For improving the efficiency of learning normalization…
Sensor-driven systems are increasingly ubiquitous: they provide both data and information that can facilitate real-time decision-making and autonomous actuation, as well as enabling informed policy choices by service providers and…
Microservice architectures are a popular choice for deploying large-scale data-intensive applications. This architectural style allows microservice practitioners to achieve requirements related to loose coupling, fault contention, workload…
[Context and motivation] When developing software, coordination between different organizational units is essential in order to develop a good quality product, on time and within budget. Particularly, the synchronization between…
Drawing on ideas from continuous integration, we present concepts of an automated benchmarking pipeline for high performance applications. Customization and collaboration have been key design goals owing to the requirements of…
Supply chain network is critical to serving customers, so the most common practices are to determine the number, location, and capacity of facilities. But at the same time, uncertainties and risks must be taken into account in order to…
