Abstract
Business intelligence (BI) is a managerial concept helping managers and organizations to manage information and make factual decisions. Some have introduced Business Intelligence as a process of turning data into information and then into knowledge. This concept has become a popular trend for businesses interested in adding value to their decision making processes. Measurement of maturity in implementing Business Intelligence process in organizations is considered a critical issue. Business intelligence like software development is a process, which expressed in terms of components such as artifacts and workflows. Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) is developed to define different...
An Investigation of Data Mining Methods in E-Learning
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Habibi, Jafar (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the pas few years, the use of web-based education systems have grown exponentially spurred by the fact that neither students nor teachers are bound to a specific location and that this form of computer-based education is virtually independent of any specific hardware platforms. These systems can offer a great variety of channels and workspaces to facilitate information sharing and communication between participants in a course, let educators distribute information to students, produce content material, prepare assignments and tests, engage in discussions, manage distance classes and enable collaborative learning with virtual classroom sessions, forums, chats, file storage areas, news...
Measuring a Bank's BI Readiness
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kermanshah, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Business Intelligence (BI) became a new trend in IT applications and the organization's request for it, has notably increased. BI helps organization for better decision making. It means appropriate and correct information for appropriate person at the suitable time and in the suitable format. The key point is that only buying a BI Application doesn't mean a successful BI Implementation. The organizations should know their needs and prerequisites for implementing these applications. Strategic alignment, information usage culture and technical readiness are a bit of these prerequisites. Banks are one of the industries that use IT as a heart in their business. Some of these banks create...
A Model to Investigate the Impact of Business Intelligence on Chain Stores (Case Study: Ofogh Koorosh Chain Store)
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kianfar, Farhad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Business intelligence is a set of theories, methods, processes and technologies that are used to obtain useful and meaningful information. Due to the inclusion of different and various products, chain stores have to manage a lot of data, which is different from the retail and company data in terms of number and variety. in this regard business intelligence has to be used for making decisions. The catch is felt in different parts of the chain stores. The main purpose of this study is to provide a model to investigate the impact of using business intelligence on Ofogh Kourosh chain stores. Research variables were extracted using literature review on the impact of business intelligence on chain...
Developing a model for citizens' satisfaction with public sector services based on rough sets theory: A case study of Tehran municipality

Abstract
Original scientific paper Developing a model for citizens' satisfaction with public services is one of the effective factors for improvement of service quality. In recent years, many studies have been carried out to identify a model for citizens' satisfaction with public sector services. In the structure of the presented models in the literature, one of the most important issues regarding organizations giving public services is identification of service scopes that have the most impact on citizens' satisfaction. This paper aims to develop a model to identify citizens' satisfaction status with public services. To do so, first, key factors influencing citizens' satisfaction with public...

Abstract
Nowadays, analyzing large amount of data is of paramount importance for many companies. Big data and business intelligence applications are facilitated by the MapReduce programming model while, at infrastructural layer, cloud computing provides flexible and cost effective solutions for allocating on demand large clusters. Capacity allocation in such systems is a key challenge to providing performance for MapReduce jobs and minimize cloud resource cost. The contribution of this paper is twofold: (i) we formulate a linear programming model able to minimize cloud resources cost and job rejection penalties for the execution of jobs of multiple classes with (soft) deadline guarantees, (ii) we...

Critical Success Factors (CSFs) are a kind of significant factors that must be considered in attaining an organization's goal; and key performance indicators (KPIs) are a type of quantitative and measurable CSF; and one character of an effective BI is...
An optimization framework for the capacity allocation and admission control of mapreduce jobs in cloud systems
, Article Journal of Supercomputing ; Volume 74, Issue 10 , 2018 , Pages 5314-5348 ; 09208542 (ISSN) ; Ardagna, D ; Ciavotta, M ; Gianniti, E ; Passacantando, M ; Rizzi, A. M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Nowadays, we live in a Big Data world and many sectors of our economy are guided by data-driven decision processes. Big Data and Business Intelligence applications are facilitated by the MapReduce programming model, while, at infrastructural layer, cloud computing provides flexible and cost-effective solutions to provide on-demand large clusters. Capacity allocation in such systems, meant as the problem of providing computational power to support concurrent MapReduce applications in a cost-effective fashion, represents a challenge of paramount importance. In this paper we lay the foundation for a solution implementing admission control and capacity allocation for MapReduce jobs with a priori...

Abstract
Nowadays, e-learning platforms are widely used by universities and other research-based and educational institutions. Despite lots of advantages these educational environments provide for organizations, yet there are many unresolved problems which cause instructors and training managers with some difficulties to get proper information about the students' learning behavior. On one hand, lack of tools to measure, assess, and evaluate the performance of learners in educational activities has led the educators to fail to guarantee the success of learning process. On the other hand, strict structure of learning materials prevents students to acquire knowledge based on their learning style....
