Intelligent Network Architecture Development for E-Business Processes Based on Ontological Models

By Yevgen Burov Victoria Vysotska Lyubomyr Chyrun Yuriy Ushenko Dmytro Uhryn Zhengbing Hu

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2024.05.01, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2024

The use of ontological models for intelligent systems construction allows for improved quality characteristics at all stages of the life cycle of a software product. The main source of improvement in quality characteristics is the possibility of reusing the conceptualization and code provided by the corresponding models. Due to the use of a single conceptualization when creating various software products, the degree of interoperability and code portability increases. The new-generation electronic business analytics systems implementation is based on the use of active models for business processes (BP). Such models, on the one hand, reflect the BPs taking place in the organization on a real-time scale, and on the other hand, embody corporate and other regulatory rules and restrictions and monitor their compliance. The purpose of this article is to research the methods of presenting and building active executable BP models, determining the methods of their execution and coordination, and building the resulting intelligent network of BP models. In the process of its implementation, such a network ensures the implementation, support of decision-making and compliance with regulatory rules in the relevant real BPs. A formal specification of an intelligent system for modelling a complex of BPs of the enterprise using models has been proposed. A hierarchical approach to the introduction of intelligent functions into the modelling system has been proposed. The simulation system is designed to be used for the design and management of complex intelligent systems. Achieving the set goal involves solving several development tasks: methods of presenting BP models for different types of such models; methods of analysis and display of time relations and attributes in BP models; ways of presenting the association of artefacts, and business analytics models with individual BP operations; metric ratios for evaluating the quality of process execution; methods of interaction of various BPs and coordination of their implementation. The purpose of functioning an intelligent model-driven software system is achieved through the interaction of a large number of simple models. At the same time, each model encapsulates a certain aspect of the expert's knowledge about the subject area. To apply executable conceptual models in the field of modelling BPes, it is necessary to determine the types of conceptual models used, their purpose and functions, and the role they play in the operation of an intelligent system. Models used in modelling BPes can be classified according to various characteristics. At the same time, the same model can be included in different classifications.

By Muhathir Andre Hasudungan Lubis Dwika Karima Wardani Mahardika Gama Pradana Ilham Sahputra Mutammimul Ula

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2024.05.03, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2024

Recent advancements in pest classification using deep learning models have shown promising results in various agricultural contexts. The VGG16 model, known for its robust performance in image classification, has been applied to the task of classifying pests in oil palm plants. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the VGG16 model in identifying pests on oil palm, comparing the performance of default settings with models fine-tuned using grid search and random search techniques. We employed a quantitative approach, training the VGG16 model with three different configurations: default, fine-tuned with grid search, and fine-tuned with random search. Evaluation metrics including precision, recall, F1-Score, and overall accuracy were used to assess model performance across different pest categories: Metisa plana, Setora nitens, and Setothosea asigna. The default VGG16 model achieved precision, recall, and F1-Score values around 90% for Metisa plana, Setora nitens, and Setothosea asigna, with an overall accuracy of 91.00%. Fine-tuning with grid search improved these metrics, with precision, recall, and F1-Score reaching approximately 93.88%, 92%, and 92.93% respectively, and an overall accuracy of 93%. The random search fine-tuning resulted in even higher performance, with precision of about 95.92%, recall of 94%, and F1-Score of 94.95% for Metisa plana, and overall accuracy of 94.67%. The VGG16 model demonstrated strong performance in pest classification on oil palm, with significant improvements achieved through fine-tuning techniques. The study confirms that grid search and random search fine-tuning can substantially enhance model accuracy and efficacy. Future research should focus on expanding the dataset to include more diverse pest species, incorporating attention mechanisms, and leveraging automated control technologies like drones and the Internet of Things (IoT) to further improve pest management practices.

By Nataliya Mutovkina Zhongfeng Pan

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2024.05.05, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2024

The article proposes a method for clarifying the degree of correspondence between the request of a company looking for a specialist for a vacant position and the request of an applicant. As practice shows, the requirements in the requests of companies and the requests of applicants are linguistic, using vague boundaries of compliance parameters. Based on the results of a survey of graduate students and representatives of potential employer companies conducted by the author of the work, the company’s image, its experience in the market, and a decent salary are significant for graduates. For potential employers, applicants with some experience in the branch and low financial expectations are substantial first of all. Thus, from the statements of both sides, the author managed to identify two linguistic variables: “Time” and “Salary level.” These variables are applied to identify correlations between requests at the preliminary stage of staff selection. Indirect methods, namely methods of statistical data and expert assessments, were used in the variable membership functions. The algorithm for detecting matches is noticeably simple and can be in almost any table processor, which expands the field of the proposed approach. The recruitment agency acts as an intermediary in recruitment. The algorithm for identifying compliance in its activities will significantly reduce recruiters’ time and labor costs.

One such application found in journals is house price prediction. House prices are increasing every year which has necessitated the modeling of house price prediction. These models constructed, help the customers to purchase a house suitable for their need. Proposed work makes use of the attributes or features of the houses such as number of bedrooms available in the house, age of the house, travelling facility from the location, school facility available nearby the houses and Shopping malls available nearby the house location. House availability based on desired features of the house and house price prediction are modeled in the proposed work and the model is constructed for a small town in West Godavari district of Andhrapradesh. The work involves decision tree classification, decision tree regression and multiple linear regression and is implemented using Scikit-Learn Machine Learning Tool.

The present study bridges the gap between the two intersecting domains, data science and supply chain management. The data can be analyzed for inventory management, forecasting and prediction, which is in the form of reports, queries and forecasts. Because of the price, weather patterns, economic volatility and complex nature of business, the forecasts may not be accurate. This has resulted in the growth of Supply chain analytics. It is the application of qualitative and quantitative methods to solve relevant problems and to predict the outcomes by considering quality of data. The issues like increased collaboration between companies, customers, retailers and governmental organizations, companies are adopting Big Data solutions. Big Data applications can be linked for Supply Chain Management across the fields like procurement, transportation, warehouse operations, marketing and also for smart logistics. As supply chain networks becoming vast, more complex and driven by demands for more exacting service levels, the type of data that is managed and analyzed also becomes more complex. The present work aims at providing an overview of adoption of capabilities of Data Analytics as part of a “next generation” architecture by developing a linear regression model on a sales-data. The paper also covers the survey of how big data techniques can be used for storage, processing, managing, interpretation and visualization of data in the field of Supply chain.

Widya Collection Store is a business that provides sports clothing, as well as one of the producers in the Samarinda area. Sales management is still not optimal because it still uses paper notes and is still being written which makes it easy for errors to occur in writing prices, quantities of goods and total prices so that it takes a long time to process transactions, both from payment in full or receivables. In addition, managing stock of goods is also more difficult because it is not recorded in the database. Therefore, a Sales Management application was made at the Web-Based Widya Collection Store to process item data, sales transactions, make complete notes and reports and make the transaction process faster. The long-term goal to be achieved is that the stock management process has been recorded in order to know the stock that must be ordered from the supplier. In addition, to simplify and expedite activities in searching for sales transaction data if one day it is needed. In this study, the method used to build a Sales Management Application at a Web-Based Widya Collection Store is the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) development stage which consists of needs analysis, system design, and implementation.
