Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The focus in current decision management systems is on supporting selected decisions and transactional processes, rather than including decisions and information resulting from decisions and action processes over time. Thus, specific information is tailored to use specific DSS technology. The purpose of this research was to understand how decision information is organized in a complex, decision-rich organization. Documentation and archival records are the basis of this case study. An object-oriented framework with five key elements for linking decisions and information is introduced: issue, based-on, decision, agents, and consequence. It is suggested that an overall object-oriented approach would contribute to clarifying the decision context, the relationship to other decisions, and defining the roles and responsibilities of the decision and action team. Thus, the framework as a platfonn facilitates using different DSS technologies.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Mobile Business Intelligence (m-BI) enhances the capabilities of organizations to take decisions 'on-the-move'. M-BI emerged as an extension of BI and many companies have or are considering implementing it. Being an innovation, m-BI reflects an organizing vision, created by a broad community, which is prominent during the comprehension process of this innovation. Little is known how the organizing vision affects the decision to adopt a certain innovation, and moreover these studies are completely lacking within the m-BI area. A qualitative approach has been embraced and interviews with different organizations that have already decided to adopt m-BI have been conducted. This study revealed that industrial research reports, vendors marketing campaigns and success stories produced by the collaboration among vendors, analysts, journalist and early adopters have a strong influence on the early phases of the organizational decision-making process to adopt m-BI. Increasing internal and external legitimacy, reducing the risk to be left behind, gaining competitive advantage, following the footsteps of high-performing companies, increasing their prestige and reputation, are the main reasons for why organizations may start the decision-making process to adopt m-BI; all this under the umbrella of the organizing vision.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present an editor for controlled languages which is a combination of a syntax editor and a predictive editor. It shows a bird's-eye view which lets the user to explore what is possible in the language. Still, unlike the syntax editors the user is not expected to understand the underlying abstract syntax or ontology behind the language. It also lets the user to enter arbitrary phrases from which the editor finds the phrases which are the closest match.

Supporting Business Decision-making: One Professional at a Time

Ingår i: DSS 2.0 – Supporting Decision Making with New Technologies. - 9781614993988 - 9781614993995 ; 261, s. 471-482

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses the potential for personalized, user-owned decision-support systems. It can be readily seen that there are benefits from analysis of ‘Big Data’ that could not be attained through more traditional means, e.g. insurance and credit card fraud can be detected more readily when it is possible to analyze integrated data across multiple servers owned and controlled by separate organizations. However, high-level data analysis, though useful, cannot be trusted to provide all the answers to organizational ‘questions’. Individuals need to be able to inform themselves in complex decision situations and for this purpose there can be no substitute for ‘little data’ from wherever this is to be drawn. We explore a potential type of support that could overcome the barriers to professional creativity arising through lack of trust in decision-support systems owned and controlled from senior management. The Virtual Personal Assistant described uses natural language processing to interact with a professional user in the context of messy, situated problems, and in private. It has capability to learn from user-interactions and therefore to co-evolve contextually. A ‘little data’ system such as this can therefore help to improve relevance of user understandings in a relatively risk free environment.

A Fleet Management System Based on Complex Event Processing
- 2014
-
Ingår i: DSS 2.0 – Supporting Decision Making with New Technologies. - : IOS Press. - 9781614993988 - 9781614993995 ; , s. 241-252

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes our approach and experiences of applying techniques in complex event processing to fleet management systems. Current fleet management systems do not have support for complex event processing, hence they are limited to reacting to simple events such as door open, and vehicle reached waypoint. We argue that fleet management systems can benefit from having support for complex event processing. In this paper we present an implemented fleet management system that supports complex event processing.

Social Robots for Social Institutions : Scaling Up and Cutting Back on Cognition

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Current technological change is rapid and far-reaching, more so than ever before in human history. It is transforming all dimensions of human life, leading to large-scale adaptation. Among the disruptive new technologies that are being introduced into society, social robots are distinguished by their hybrid existence between mere thing and mindful agent. They are physical machines capable of interacting with the surroundings and designed to collaborate with humans on human tasks while interacting in human ways. In contrast to rescue, delivery, and patrol robots that replace human labour, these robots take social roles such as tutor, peer, learner, companion, or assistant. On a more general note, social robots are expected to work closely with humans—as partner, colleague, family, and friend. Yet, that a robot can act as a social entity, does not entail the robotconstitutes a social being in its own right [1]. The question is whether social robots are capable of participating in and contributing to human social institutions such as healthcare, education, and economy; and if this is so, the follow-up question concerns what this may entail for society in the longer perspective. The emphasis of the present talk lies on the first question, the supposed contribution of social robots to social institutions. Raising a few queries concerning the ability of the BDI-paradigm and affective robotics to provide an adequate reply to this question, at least in its present formulation, I will briefly outline an alternative that lays down a new path in HRI, based in the notions of embodied, embedded, dynamic, and distributed cognition. I claim that these notions are particularly well-suited for designing social institutional forms of HRI, because they permit modelling the relevant cognitive processes as unfolding in the physical space that humans and robots share. The environment provides the resources for HRI such as artefacts, routines, and embodied social norms that simultaneously constrain and enable the emergence of novel institutional practices involving human and machine.

An Automata-Based Formalism for Normative Documents with Real-Time
- 2022

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Deontic logics have long been the tool of choice for the formal analysis of normative texts. While various such logics have been proposed many deal with time in a qualitative sense, i.e., reason about the ordering but not timing of events, it was only in the past few years that real-time deontic logics have been developed to reason about time quantitatively. In this paper we present timed contract automata, an automata-based deontic modelling approach complementing these logics with a more operational view of such normative clauses and providing a computational model more amenable to automated analysis and monitoring.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The production of documents from an ontology is a challenging task which requires a significant effort from a natural language generator. Addressing this problem involves a careful examination of how the knowledge formalized in an ontology can be verbalized and realized.We have started to exploit the abilities of generating natural language texts from a Web Ontology Language (OWL) and to examine how the content of the ontology can be rendered in natural language texts that support reader and listener preferences. In this paper we present our line of research and exemplify some of the difficulties we encountered while attempting to generate fragments of texts from a domain specific ontology.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We consider the problem of finding collision-free trajectories for a fleet of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) working in ship ports and freight terminals. Our solution computes collision-free trajectories for a fleet of AGVs to pick up one or more containers and transport it to a given goal without colliding with other AGVs and obstacles. We propose an integrated framework for solving the goal assignment and trajectory planning problem minimizing the maximum cost over all vehicle trajectories using the classical Hungarian algorithm. To deal with the dynamics in the environment, we refine our final trajectories with CHOMP (Covariant Hamiltonian optimization for motion planning) in order to trade off between path smoothness and dynamic obstacle avoidance. © 2015 The authors and IOS Press.
