Influence of personal attributes and demographic diversity on Nzoia basin negotiation outcomes

The Kenyan government has made significant advances in water resources management at the local authority (county) level with little or no cooperation at the drainage basin level. Research on critical determinants of cooperation amongst transboundary water negotiation teams is limited. In this paper, we assess whether personal attribute...

Comparison of Multi-Model History Matching Methods

The oil industry is a high risk high reward venture. The capital and operating expenses runs into tens of millions of dollars with oil production being the primary source of revenue. During the initial development phase of the field, few wells are completed. Data collection during this period verifies assumptions made during the modelling phase...

INTERLIS Language for Modelling Legal 3D Spaces and Physical 3D Objects by Including Formalized Implementable Constraints and Meaningful Code Lists

The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) is one of the first ISO spatial domain standards, and has been proven one of the best candidates for unambiguously representing 3D Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities. Consequently, multiple LADM-based country profile implementations have been developed since the approval of LADM as an ISO...

Model driven architecture engineered land administration in conformance with international standards: illustrated with the Hellenic Cadastre

Background: Over the last years, the new role of Land Administration in realising the Information Infrastructure and the need to address spatial and non- spatial land related data exchange between countries emerged and since then, standard models were created and put into use. Two examples of these standards are the Land Administration Domain...

The LADM based on INTERLIS

Both the conceptual schema language INTERLIS and the land administration domain model (LADM) share the same model driven architecture (MDA) principles. In this paper we explore how INTERLIS and LADM complement each other in actual implementation of land administration system based on the LADM using INTERLIS tools. In Switzerland, the requirement...

Model for Trans-sector Digital Interoperability

Interoperability refers to the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged. The importance of interoperability has grown together with the adoption of Digital Information Networks (DINs). DINs refer to information networks supported by telecommunication infrastructures...

Round-trip Business Process Driven SOA modelling between ARIS and Cordys

Business process modelling is the core activity in Business Process Driven SOA. ARIS is as Business Process Analysis (BPA) tool adequate for analyzing and designing business processes, while the execution and monitoring of these processes is empowered by Cordys as Business Process Management Suite (BPMS). The challenge is to enable iterative...

An Enterprise Ontology based approach to Model-Driven Engineering

Because of the lack of a significant increase of productivity in the last 20 years we are still in a huge need for increasing the return a company derives from its software development effort. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) aims to raise the level of abstraction in application modeling and increase automation in application development, thereby...
