DevOps is an emerging concept and methodology for bridging the gap in the process of software development. At present, applying DevOps to data analytical system (DAS) is increasingly embraced. But the characteristics of this system, such as data protection, always leads to a series of constrains. It results in more difficulty of conducting DevOps on DAS. Moreover, there are no DevOps solutions for reference. Therefore, exploring DevOps for DAS is valuable. In this paper, we illustrate DevOps demands of DAS from different perspectives, and constantly emphasize the importance of automation toolchain. Based on them, a process model for DAS DevOps (D2Ops) is proposed to clarify participants activities. In order to improve the efficiency, we attempt to integrate the automation toolchain. With the consideration of stability, six generic process components are designed to support this model. They can be the selection criteria for specific automation tools. We also present a reference facility based on these generic process components, and illustrate its implementation combining with a practical case. Furthermore, for a better D2Ops practice, the cross-cutting concerns are considered from the perspective of its data intensive trait.

Desalination has become one of the obvious solutions for the global water crisis due to affording high-quality water from seawater and brackish water resources. As a result, there are continuing efforts being made to improve desalination technologies, especially the one producing high-quantity freshwater, i.e., thermal desalination. This improvement must be accomplished via enhancement of process design through optimization which is implicitly dependent on providing a generic process model. Due to the scarcity of a comprehensive review paper for modeling multi-effect distillation (MED) process, this topic is becoming more important. Therefore, this paper intends to capture the evolution of modeling the forward feed MED (most common type) and shed a light on its branches of steady-state and dynamic modeling. The maturity of the models developed for MED will be thoroughly reviewed to clarify the general efforts made highlighting the advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the outputs of this review, the requirements of process development and emerging challengeable matters of modeling will be specified. This, in turn, would afford a possible improvement strategy to gain a reliable and sustainable thermal desalination process.


Research in the field of Network forensics is tremendously expanding with the tendency to help in arbitrating, capturing and detaining the exponential growth of the cyber crimes. With this expansion, the field of Network forensics is still not clear and is uncertain. In this paper, we have presented the architecture of an analysis mechanism for network forensics. The work followed by generic process model for network forensics investigation is also presented and discussed in detail. Overall this paper presents an overview of the network forensics architecture, generic process models to help a user in the times of emergency by considering the incident and thus maintaining the privacy and security policies.

Declarative process models support process flexibility, whose importance has been widely recognized, particularly for organizations that face frequent changes and variable stimuli from their environment. However, the currently dominant declarative approaches lack expressiveness for addressing the process context (namely, environment effects) and leading its execution towards a goal. This paper proposes a declarative model which addresses activities as well as states, external events, and goals. The model is based on the Generic Process Model (GPM), extended by a notion of activity, which includes a state change aspect and an intentional aspect. The achievement of the intention of an activity may depend on events in the environment and is hence not certain. The paper provides a formalization of the model and describes an execution mechanism. It emphasizes the usefulness of specifying the intentional aspect of activities, by using it as a basis for semantic validation of the model at design time and for a planning module that can guide execution at runtime. These are illustrated by an example from the medical domain.

In current literature few detailed process models for Requirements Engineering are presented: usually high-level activities are distinguished, without a more precise specification of each activity. In this paper the process of Requirements Engineering has been analyzed using knowledge-level modelling techniques, resulting in a well-specified compositional process model for the Requirements Engineering task. This process model is considered to be a generic process model: it can be refined (by instantiation or specialisation) into a process model for a specific kind of Requirements Engineering process.

In this paper, we describe the development of a generic process model to support improvements in Nuclear Asset Management (NAM) and present some key results and insights obtained from it. We also provide details associated with one portion of the model as an illustration of it and describe its application. Finally, we discuss how the model could be used to improve the effectiveness and integration of a plant’s asset management program.

A very large majority of the current product development process models put forward in textbooks present a homogenous structure, what Ulrich & Eppinger [1] call the market-pull model, presented as a generic one, while other possible product development process models are merely seen as variants. This paper focuses on the task clarification and derived activities (mainly the systematic search for customer needs through market study and the supplementary development costs it entails) and investigates two alternative strategies that are not derived from the generic process model. The first alternative is the market-pull model without an extensive task clarification. The second is the application of the so-called expeditionary marketing strategy. With the help of simplified analytic modeling, the conditions for which these alternatives are as efficient as the generic process model are discussed. This advocates the development of more flexible process models.
