The elicitation of key performance indicators of e-Government providers: A bottom-up approach
(
European and Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Delivering an adequate e-Government service (e-service) is becoming more of a necessity in today's digital world. In order to improve e-services and increase the engagement of both users' and providers' side, studies on ...

(
IGI Global
, 2013 , Book chapter)
In this chapter, the current world's challenges, shortcomings of strategic performance measurement, and management methodologies are analyzed to introduce the new Cognitive Analytics Management (CAM) framework. CAM uses ...
A cognitive analytics management framework (CAM-Part 2): Societal needs, shared-value models, performance indicators, big data, business analytics models and tools
(
IGI Global

In Chapter 1, The CAM framework focused on the development of innovative social business models through the usage of frontier data envelopment analysis to measure shared value for a sustainable growth of an organization. ...
Mismanagement or mismeasurement: The application of DEA to generate performance values and insights from big data
(
IGI Global
, 2013 , Book chapter)
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a well-known frontier valuation method to assess the performance of set of Decision Making Units (DMUs). It derives an overall performance for each DMU based on its efficiency relative ...
Control of parabolic PDEs with time-varying spatial domain: Czochralski crystal growth process
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
This paper considers the optimal control problem for a class of convection-diffusion-reaction systems modelled by partial differential equations (PDEs) defined on time-varying spatial domains. The class of PDEs is characterised ...
Boundary optimal (LQ) control of coupled hyperbolic PDEs and ODEs
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This contribution addresses the development of a linear quadratic (LQ) regulator for a set of hyperbolic PDEs coupled with a set of ODEs through the boundary. The approach is based on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert ...
Optimal control of an advection-dominated catalytic fixed-bed reactor with catalyst deactivation
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
The paper focuses on the linear-quadratic control problem for a time-varying partial differential equation model of a catalytic fixed-bed reactor. The classical Riccati equation approach, for time-varying infinite-dimensional ...
Optimal performance of single-column chromatography and simulated moving bed processes for the separation of optical isomers
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Chromatography has been established as the method of choice for the separation and purification of optically pure drugs which has a market size of about 250 billion USD. Single column chromatography (SCC) is commonly used ...
Nonlinear direct inverse method: A shortcut method for simultaneous calibration and isotherm determination
(2013 , Article)
This work addresses a way to combine isotherm determination and nonlinear calibration. In this method, like the classical inverse method, experimental elution profiles are compared with the results of a detailed model that ...
