	abstract = {This theoretical article aims to propose a generic framework for measuring performance of Knowledge Management (KM) projects based on critical literature review. The proposed framework fills the existing gap on KM performance measurement in two points: (i) it provides a generic tool that is able to assess all kinds of KM project as well as the overall organization KM, (ii) it assesses KM projects according to KM objectives in a generic manner. Our framework (GKMPM) relies on a process reference model that provides a KM common understanding in a process based view. It is based on a goal-oriented measurement approach and considers that KM performance dimensions are stakeholder{\textquoteright}s objectives. The framework application follows a procedural approach that begins with the KM project modelling, followed by the objectives prioritization. The next step consists of collecting and analysing data for pre-designed measures, and produces a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) related to the KM project processes and in accordance with its objectives.},

	abstract = {Knowledge Management (KM) projects are socio-technical systems that enable knowledge activities and ensure that the right knowledge gets to the right person at the right time. The growing number of KM applications confirms the need for a performance measurement model able to assess the diversity of KM initiatives in order to rationalize their usage. To the best of our knowledge, a generic KM model for performance measurement fitting any kind of KM projects is missing in the literature. Instead, existing approaches are specific to a particular KM project or assess the overall KM of the organization. In this paper, we propose a KM model for performance measurement that is built on existing KM models literature and enhanced with theoretical findings. It also follows the reference modelling design process in view of producing a high quality model.},

In fact, companies are left with directories containing several variants of the same business processes, which differ according to their application context. Consequently, the development of PAIS has become increasingly expensive. Therefore, research in business process management domain introduced the concept of configurable process, with the aim of managing the variability of business process. However, with the emergence of the services-based development paradigm, the alignment of services with business processes is highly required in PAIS. Thus, in this paper an MDA based method which allows for generating configurable services from configurable process is proposed.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, variability management has been introduced in the field of business process modeling by means of the configurable process models solution, with a view to resolving problems of redundancy and design time errors. Nevertheless, the existing approaches of variability modeling lack of semantic representation, and consequently, present many limits regarding automation of modeling, configuring and evolving configurable processes. Recently, semantic web technologies, especially ontologies, have been proposed in order to increase the level of automation and reduce human intervention in different domains. Business process management has benefited from the emergence of these technologies and the concept of semantic business process management appeared to make the whole business process accessible to intelligent queries as for machine reasoning. Whereas most approaches focus on providing mechanisms for modeling and configuring process models, their validation was treated syntactically rather than semantically. In this paper, we propose an ontology-based approach to enhance configurable processes validation using ontologies.},

	abstract = {Sensor networks are gaining more and more attention in the current technology landscape. It is undeniable that their use allows a better monitoring of events that occur in the real world. Many sensors have been deployed for monitoring applications such as environmental monitoring, and traffic monitoring. A number of governments, corporates, and academic organizations or agencies hold independently sensor systems that generate a large amount of dynamic information from data sources with various formats of schemas and data. They are making this sensor data openly accessible by publishing it as Linked Sensor Data (LSD) on the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud. LSD is the concept that defines the publication of public or private organization sensor data without restrictions. This is achieved by transforming raw sensor observations to RDF format and by linking it with other datasets on the LOD cloud. The seamless integration of LSD sources from multiple providers is a great challenge. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of integrating diverse LSD sources using the hybrid ontology approach for on-line analytical processing (OLAP) on-the-fly. With such an ontology-based integration framework, organizations or individuals will have greater opportunity to make their respective analysis based on a large amount of sensor data openly accessible on the Web.},

	abstract = {Today, SOA is the most dominant and broadly adopted architecture style by enterprises. It defines how to use services to achieve business goals, and allows interoperability with multiple customers within different business domains. The growing use of SOA has increased research interest on how to improve the reuse of services. Hence, managing services variability was introduced by many approaches as a new leading edge concept for improving reuse. Indeed, variability refers to the characteristic of a system to adapt, specialize and configure itself with the context of use. Several proposals have been made in this respect. However, none of these seem to deal with the evolution of these configurable services. In service oriented systems, the evolution of services is usually introduced by the evolution of the associated business process. Therefore, if a configurable process model (CPM for short) should evolve in reaction to changing business needs, the associated configurable services (CS for short) are also impacted by this change. In our previous work, we proposed a complete methodology for managing evolution in configurable process models. In this paper, we extend our proposed approach to develop an evolution process for managing the changes of configurable services (variable services) caused by changing the associated configurable process model.},

	abstract = {Business Process Management (BPM) is an approach that aligns information systems (IT view) with business processes (Business view). Both the dynamic environment of business and the fast changes in requirements have created the need to reuse business processes in order to gain in cost and time. To enhance reuse in BPM, significant research efforts have been made on the development of methods and languages in order to support variability modeling. However, there is no single standard for modeling variability in configurable process models. Each modeling language integrating variability proposes its own method for representing variability, and different representations are used to express the same variability concepts. In addition to that, human intervention is still mandatory in order to create, configure and evolve configurable process models. With semantic annotations and the usage of ontology, these tasks could be automated. In this paper, we propose a comparative study to assess variability modeling approaches in software engineering domains, which include software product line engineering, services engineering and process engineering. This comparative study is conducted in terms of semantics use.},

	abstract = {Knowledge management (KM) and intellectual capital (IC) are two big research questions in nowadays management topics. In fact, the relation between these two subjects varies from analogy to complementarity. Defining these concepts remains for long years a controversy, because both topics imply different disciplines. And despite the multidisciplinary of the field, it is agreed that KM treats both knowledge as an object, and management as a set of tools and techniques. The association between these two aspects is the essence of KM. Whereas with the IC, the focus is much on the effect and value generated by the intellectual asset, which implies a notion of valuation and measurement. The relationship between concepts of IC and KM needs to be redefined in view of field progress. In our paper, we assume that {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}IC is suited to KM valuation and performance measurement{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}}: a conceptual review of the literature within this work should give foundation to this hypothesis. Further foreseen analytical verification may empower it to be a basic rule on the design of future KM valuation indicators.},
