Abstract
The group's scientific and research work is orientated towards holistic development of information systems (IS). It addresses several inter-connected areas: methodological aspects of IS, databases and data warehouses development; quality assurance strategies; information technology support for inter-organisational business operations; design and construction of embedded systems; reliability assurance and security of embedded systems; evaluation and improvement of process and architecture models; IS integration methods; use of intelligent systems, agents and automatic programming techniques for the IS reliability improvement; security aspects of IS development; data and databases security; efficiency of classification algorithms for the construction of data warehouses and integration initiation for information quality improvement. Methodological aspects of IS development address the development and definition of new, more effective techniques, methods and methodologies of business process modelling, requirements analysis, architecture design, implementation, verification and validation of IS. The emphasis is on the object- and component-oriented approach, and on the services-based architecture with the semantic component and context- and aspect-dependent behaviour. One of the key issue is assurance of information services integration, which address also the next key issue of efficiency improvement: re-use, for which the formalization on the higher level of abstraction (ideas, patterns, frameworks, components and heuristics) is done by introducing various repositories, location, identification and application solution mechanisms. Methodological research offers sound base for the methods and mechanisms definitions to support the information technology in inter-organisational business operations, primarily between businesses, but also for customers and employees. The main goal is the construction of inter-organisational integration based on the existing standards of web services and the enhancement of web services by semantic component. The final goal is automatisation of all levels: definition of business processes, definition of cooperation profiles, electronic contracts definition and business operations execution. The attention is focused on the standards of European Union, primarily SEEM (Single European Electronic Market) and on the definition of application methods in Slovenia. The security aspects orient towards quality assurance of IS development and assurance of data quality. The research group traditionally dedicate much attention to quality and continues with the research on definition of new approaches to introduce the quality systems into the informatics sphere of activity and on definition of formal methods for program processes modelling. In this manner, the research continues on the quantitative evaluation of program processes and data quality. Furthermore, the development of distributed services architectures is focused which are independent of platform and/or transformation mechanisms; in this context the model based architectures definition possibilities are addressed, that solve the problem of heterogeneous application platforms and their fast development. In the scope of IS data aspects research (databases, data warehouses and data mining) the preference is given to information production processes and their improvement with the consideration of structured data development and analysis procedure at the level of an organized system. In the scope of knowledge based systems research the focus continues on the development of models for effective project management support, definition and evaluation of methods based on fuzzy logic, intelligent agents, operations research and artificial intelligence. The development searches for sources in semantic enhancement of services architectures and implementation of artificial intelligence methods.
Significance for science
Our research activities and objectives have impacted the development of science in the field of information systems and in related research areas as well. Research in the field of intelligent systems has resulted in new models, methods and algorithms for the intelligent data analysis of complex, big data from heterogeneous data sources, as well as for the efficient implementation of expert systems and knowledge bases. The research of pervasive systems and acceptance of e-services impacts the efficiency of pervasive solutions and their acceptance in business and social environments. Research in the field of security and trust has resulted in new and improved models, approaches and procedures to ensure secure information exchange, its probative value, assure non-repudiation and security and trust. In the field of information systems our contribution is manifested in new and improved development models, fault prediction models, as well as the reuse evaluation of frameworks and software factories. Original approaches for software quality assurance contribute to the field of empirical software engineering.
Significance for the country
The socio-economic dimensions of the research program are visible through its impact on development, quality assurance, and information system management. The results increase the efficiency of business processes and innovative improvements with the notable participation of industry representatives and the public sector. Considering the socio-economic impact of the research program, it is worth highlighting the importance of successful applied solutions (e.g. @life, ADORA). Research outcomes also resulted in the use of innovative user interfaces in business and social software. The scientific excellence of the research program is the key-enabling factor for socio-economic impacts (e.g. with an investigation of user acceptance of new IT solutions prior to real-world deployment). The list of socio-economic dimensions/impacts related to broader national (and also European) goals is as follows: (1) Knowledge transfer aimed at the reinforcement of innovative potential in ICT sectors (e.g. implications of the research of innovation ecosystems) in line with the goals of the Resolution on Research and Innovation Strategy of Slovenia. (2) Quality of service enhancement for ICT-dependent non-ICT companies, related to the first pillar of the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE): Single Digital Market (e.g. with the improvement of effectiveness and efficiency of business process management). (3) Improved and increased user participation and of public administration operations transparency (e.g. with the use of understandable process models and with the integration of social software concepts and business process management). (4) Increased use and reuse of public sector information (e.g. with the use of pervasive computing and new ways of communicating) as a binding element of public administration and new/innovative SMEs.
