Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often critical to the success of modern business processes. Leveraging it, however, is non-trivial. A major hurdle is communication: discussing system requirements among stakeholders with different backgrounds and goals

IoT Capabilities Composition and Decomposition: A Systematic Review

March 22, 2023
Author(s)
Edward Griffor, Khalid Halba, ahmed lbath, Anton Dahbura
Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities are features or services produced by IoT devices. IoT capabilities composition brings existing capabilities together to create a novel service with added value. IoT Capabilities decomposition works the other way around

Formalizing and Reasoning about Supply Chain Contracts between Agents

January 8, 2023
Author(s)
Dylan Flynn, Chasity Nadeau, Jeannine Shantz, Marcello Balduccini, Tran Son, Edward Griffor
Inspired by the recent problems in supply chains, we propose an approach to declarative modeling of contracts between agents that will eventually support reasoning about resilience of and about ways to improve supply chains. Specifically, we present a high

Smart Cities and Communities: A Key Performance Indicators Framework
