	abstract = {Enterprise architecture (EA) is a business and IT management tool that has grown in popularity during the last decade. It is based on models of business and IT with systematic frameworks. The scope of the enterprise architecture includes the people, processes, information and technology of the enterprise, and their relationships to one another and to the external environment. Evaluation of enterprise architecture enables organizations to assess their current situation. Definitely, it allows optimizing the alignment, business strategy, organizational culture, business, people, process and technology. This architecture optimization provides a cost-effective and also helps to ensure the proper execution of objectives and organizational goals. In this regard, this paper provides an approach based on network analysis towards EA analysis, and especially towards the agility of enterprise architecture, we propose a method for assessing agility achievement of different TO-BE scenarios and using different indicators based on the archimate metamodels of the enterprise architecture layers.},

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.},

	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?.},

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 Virtualization which is a cornerstone of some cloud implementations.

The Formal is thus more structuring, segmenting and may be associated with referential and standards.

Indeed, when the semantic representation of the service evolves, the interpretation of queries may change. Thus, it{\textquoteright}s often challenging to evaluate the results of the query. Sources of this problem include the lack of support for semantic evolution management in ontology-based service oriented systems, and the static nature of the mappings between ontologies in this environment. To address these issues, we have developed P(2)OManager, an interactive tool for ontology evolution management. This system allows the users to automatically create an ontology agent manager. This agent manages evolution on both ontology and mappings and communicates with other ontology agents to take them aware of all changes which may affect exchanges with their services. Examples illustrate how P(2)OManager can provide valuable support for ontology evolution management, when specific changes are provided.},

	abstract = {Numerous ontologies have been developed for life science domains. These ontologies are continuously changing. Thus, it is becoming profitable to study and to manage these ontologies change in order to keep all dependent ontologies and their related mappings consistent. The aim of this paper is to propose an agent based approach enabling not only ontology and ontology mapping evolution analysis but also to manage their changes. An experiment in health care illustrates the benefits of our approach. We apply our algorithm, and implementation prototype p(2)OEManager to eye specialist ontology (ESO) and primary health care ontology (PCO), and particularly, we use our ontology agent model, and prototype to manage some significant changes in the ESO ontology.},

Appropriate definition, analysis, checking and improvement of those business process models are indispensable before their deployment within workflow management systems. In this paper, we focus on business process model verification that insures business process structural correctness. Our proposal consist in a new efficient hybrid algorithm of workflow graph structural validation combining graph reduction and traversal mechanisms. Our algorithm will be disussed and compared to existing workflow structural checking approaches from completeness and performance points of view.},

	abstract = {The task of selecting a workflow engine becomes more and more complex and risky. For this reason, organisations require a broad, and a clear vision of which workflow engines are, and will continue to be, suitable for changing requirements. This paper presents a workflow engines comparison model to analyse, compare, and select business process management modelling and enactment engines (Workflow Engines or WFEs) according to user specific requirements. After the description of the underlying model itself, we present the implementation of this workflow engines comparison model through our multi-criteria workflow engines comparison and selection prototype WFESelector. The later proposes two scenarios for selecting relevant WFE : either to express dynamically multi-criteria query upon a WFE evaluation database, or to browse the whole WFE classification through a reporting aggregation based dashboard. WFESelector is subsequently experimented to assess criteria satisfaction on a very large number of open source workflow engines (as numerous as 35).},

Analysing the interaction structure of those complex applications will enable them to be well understood, controlled, and redesigned. Our contribution to workflow mining is a statistical technique to discover workflow patterns from event-based log. Our approach is characterised by a {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}local{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}} workflow patterns discovery that allows to cover partial results through a dynamic programming algorithm. Those local discovered workflow patterns are then composed iteratively until discovering the global workflow model. Our approach has been implemented within our prototype WorkflowMiner.},

	abstract = {Process interconnection mechanisms are necessary to coordinate geographically distributed business processes in order to strength awareness inside virtual enterprises, to facilitate multinational e-transactions, etc. Actually, existing business process modelling and enactment systems (workflow systems, project management tools, shared agendas, to do lists, etc.) have been mainly developed to suit enterprise internal needs. Thus, most of these systems are not adapted to inter-enterprise cooperation. As we are interested in workflow processes, we aim, through this paper, to present a model supporting dynamic heterogeneous workflow process interconnection. We consider the interconnection of enterprise workflow processes as the management of a {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}workflow of workflows{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}} in which several heterogeneous workflow systems coexist. This paper introduces our process interconnection model, its implementation, and its validation through experimentation. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},
