The Balanced Scorecard ontology: A semantic approach to enhance strategy manage...
Antunes, A. L.; Cardoso, E.; Barateiro, J.The Balanced Scorecard, developed in 1992 by Kaplan and Norton, has evolved into a communication and strategy execution system widely adopted by organizations across various industries. This article explores the use of an ontology to bridge the gap between strategy management and data within the Balanced Scorecard framework. The Balanced Scorecard Ontology is introduced to store, validate, and analyze knowledge...
Ontology-based BIM-AMS integration in European highways
Antunes, A. L.; Barateiro, J.; Marecos, V.; Petrović, J.; Cardoso, E.BIM tools enable decision-making during the lifecycle of engineering structures, such as bridges, tunnels, and roads. National Road Authorities use Asset Management Systems (AMS) to manage and monitor operational information of assets from European Highways, including access to sensor and inspection data. Interoperability between BIM and AMS systems is vital for a timely and effective decision-making process du...
Strategic analysis in the public sector using semantic web technologies
Antunes, A. L.; Barateiro, J.; Cardoso, E.This article addresses the complex challenges that public organizations face in designing, implementing, and evaluating their strategies, where public interest and regulatory compliance often intertwine with strategic objectives. This research investigates the application of ontologies in the field of public sector strategy management to enhance the capacity of organizations to make informed data-driven decisio...
GELCO: Gamified educational learning contents ontology
Antunes, A.; Lopes, M.; Barateiro, J.; Cardoso, E.Higher education students and teachers lack the necessary information to monitor and analyse student performance with respect to the learning experience and autonomous work during the semester. This research is based on the need for continuous improvement of student learning monitoring for students and teachers. It aims to combine ontologies with a monitoring platform, creating new ways of structuring and visua...
Incorporation of ontologies in data warehouse/business intelligence systems - A...
Lorvão Antunes, A.; Cardoso, E.; Barateiro, J.Semantic Web (SW) techniques, such as ontologies, are used in Information Systems (IS) to cope with the growing need for sharing and reusing data and knowledge in various research areas. Despite the increasing emphasis on unstructured data analysis in IS, structured data and its analysis remain critical for organizational performance management. This systematic literature review aims at analyzing the incorporat...
Applying advanced data analytics and machine learning to enhance the safety con...
Rico, J.; Barateiro, J.; Mata, J.; Antunes, A.; Cardoso, E.The protection of critical engineering infrastructures is vital to today’s so- ciety, not only to ensure the maintenance of their services (e.g., water supply, energy production, transport), but also to avoid large-scale disasters. Therefore, technical and financial efforts are being continuously made to improve the safety control of large civil engineering structures like dams, bridges and nuclear facilities. ...
Learning scorecard dashboards: visualizing student learning experience
Cardoso, E.; Pedroso, T.; Rações, F.; Baptista, A.; Barateiro, J.This paper presents the design of dashboards for the Learning Scorecard, a platform designed for improving the student experience in a Higher Education course using gamification and Business Intelligence (BI) techniques. LS is a Learning Analytics application, that has been used in Data Warehouse and BI courses in a University setting since 2016. The LS platform has two independent views: student view and facul...
Adding value to sensor data of civil engineering structures: automatic outlier ...
Antunes, A. L.; Cardoso, E.; Barateiro, J.This paper discusses the problem of outlier detection in datasets generated by sensors installed in large civil engineering structures. Since outlier detection can be implemented after the acquisition process, it is fully independent of particular acquisition processes as well as it scales to new or updated sensors. It shows a method of using machine learning techniques to implement an automatic outlier detecti...
Gamificação do learning scorecard: aplicação da framework MDA
Pedroso, T.; Cardoso, E.; Rações, F.; Batista, A.; Barateiro, J.A aplicação de técnicas de gamificação no ensino superior é um desafio; em diferentes momentos facilmente se perde o foco e deixamos de conseguir explicar as ligações entre as motivações dos jogadores e os elementos que constituem o jogo. Este estudo focou-se na aplicação da framework MDA (Mechanics, Dynamics and Aesthetics) numa plataforma designada de Learning Scorecard (LS), utilizada por dezenas de alunos n...
