	abstract = {IoT is becoming a hot spot area of technological innovations and economic development promises for many industries and services. This new paradigm shift affects all the enterprise architecture layers from infrastructure to business. Business Process Management (BPM) is a field among others that is affected by this new technology. To assist data and events explosion resulting, among others, from IoT, data analytic processes combined with event processing techniques, examine large data sets to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations between collected events, either at a very technical level (incident/anomaly detection, predictive maintenance) or at business level (customer preferences, market trends, revenue opportunities) to provide improved operational efficiency, better customer service and competitive advantages over rival organizations. In order to capitalize the business value of data and events generated by IoT sensors, IoT, Data Analytics and BPM need to meet in the middle. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end IoT-BPM integration architecture (IoDEP: IoT-Data-Event-Process) for a proactive business process incident management. A case study is presented and the obtained results from our experimentations demonstrate the benefit of our approach and allowed us to confirm the efficiency of our assumptions. {\textcopyright} 2022.

	note = {cited By 2},
	abstract = {Two-dimensional (2D) multi-person pose estimation and three-dimensional (3D) root-relative pose estimation from a monocular RGB camera have made significant progress recently. Yet, real-world applications require depth estimations and the ability to determine the distances between people in a scene. Therefore, it is necessary to recover the 3D absolute poses of several people. However, this is still a challenge when using cameras from single points of view. Furthermore, the previously proposed systems typically required a significant amount of resources and memory. To overcome these restrictions, we herein propose a real-time framework for multi-person 3D absolute pose estimation from a monocular camera, which integrates a human detector, a 2D pose estimator, a 3D root-relative pose reconstructor, and a root depth estimator in a top-down manner. The proposed system, called Root-GAST-Net, is based on modified versions of GAST-Net and RootNet networks. The efficiency of the proposed Root-GAST-Net system is demonstrated through quantitative and qualitative evaluations on two benchmark datasets, Human3.6M and MuPoTS-3D. On all evaluated metrics, our experimental results on the MuPoTS-3D dataset outperform the current state-of-the-art by a significant margin, and can run in real-time at 15 fps on the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080. {\textcopyright} 2022 by the authors.

However, the manual development of ontology is a tedious task, error-prone and requires much time. The research field of ontology learning aims to provide (semi-) automatic approaches for building ontology. However, one big challenge in the automatic transformation, is how to label the relationships between concepts. This challenge depends heavily on the correct extraction of the relationship types. In fact, the RDB model does not store the meaning of relationships between entities, it only indicates the existence of a link between them. This paper suggests a solution consisting of a meta-model for the semantic enrichment of the RDB model and of a classification of relationships. A case study shows the effectiveness of our approach. {\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.},

	abstract = {This paper is interested in the ontology learning from relational databases (RDB) that exploits already approved semantics about a domain and translates them to application ontology. However, the relational model is recognized to be less expressive and incapable to support some conceptualizations. Without an explicit model of the domain semantics in the relational model, the automatic learning of ontology risks to infer incorrect semantics. In this paper, we give some proof case studies and we propose a model to upgrade the semantics of the relational model, before the ontology learning. The paper presents the constructs of the proposed model and it shows how they are translated to constructs of OWL 2 ontology. {\textcopyright} 2005 - 2014 JATIT and LLS. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, ontology as a knowledge sharing approach plays an important role in semantic interoperability of enterprise applications (EAs). However, the manual process of ontology construction requires deep understanding of the domain. This approach is difficult, expensive and time-consuming. To overcome the knowledge acquisition bottleneck, ontology learning field aims to provide automatic and semi-automatic approaches for ontology generation. Several approaches have been emerged for this purpose. In this paper, we present a practical study of methods that take data models as input to the learning process. The main contributions of this work are: (i) the evaluation of the availability of existing approaches for (semi-)automatic generation of ontology from data models; (ii) the evaluation of tools according to their operability; and (iii) the evaluation of the resulting ontologies to assess their quality in supporting semantic interoperability. Our goal through this study is to find a response to the question: Is there a tool that extracts (semi-)automatically an application ontology from data models, intended for use in semantic interoperability?. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},

In this paper, we aim to pinpoint the challenges and issues related to the Cloud computing security and also to discuss some promising approaches to encounter these concerns. Despite the potential benefits that cloud computing offers, the model security is not mature yet. Indeed, security is considered as the major obstacle to faster and more widespread adoption of cloud computing. In the scope of this paper, we will emphasize the impact of the cloud computing characteristics and properties such as Multitenancy and Elasticity on the security model. We will provide detailed analysis of the risks associated with these properties and also with the Virtualizatkin which is a cornerstone of some cloud implementations. A second part of this paper will be dedicated to discuss some promising approaches to overcome the security issues in the cloud paradigm. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},
