- Description: This paper proposes TEA: a generic framework for decision making in web services, which integrates the environment (6 Ps) of decision making, the behaviors (6 Cs) of decision makers, and inner activities (another 6 Ps) of decision makers. This framework unifies what the decision makers can "eye" (the above-mentioned first 6Ps), should "think" (the above-mentioned another 6 Ps) and "act" (6 Cs), whenever making decisions in web services. The paper also examines interrelationships among the first 6 Ps, 6 Cs, and another 6Ps, and their influences on decision making in web services. The proposed approach will facilitate research and development of decision making and decision support systems in web services.

- Description: The unprecedented and rapid development of the Chinese economy has been vividly displayed in front of the whole world to see. The attention has been particularly acute for the academic community and career politician alike. Ironically, this rapid economic miracle of China has been built on an unsound and often even questionable foundation of Chinese words, language and culture, of which we call them "Chinese trinity". This paper deals with the Chinese trinity from a computing science perspective. This paper argues the reform in scientific Chinese trinity with an emphasis of the word "scientific" ought to play a key role for further Chinese economic development and to launch a much improved contemporary Chinese society on a solid foundation. In addition, this paper proposes specifically ten computing paradigms and examines critically their potential impacts on scientific Chinese trinity. Finally, we feel the very focused approaches as proposed here might inspire as well as provide a much needed road map toward the goal of the scientific Chinese trinity. Judiciously chosen vigorous research projects appear to be indispensable. The unfortunate well known and long overdue reform has finally been rescued by the pressure of the information revolution coming of age. © 2013 World Scientific Publishing Company.

- Description: Customer satsifaction is one of the important indicators to measure web service composition. To overcome the shortage of customer satisfaction in web services composition, the article proposed a personalized web service composition algorithm based on CBR and multi-agents. Founded on the definition of web services customer satisafction attributes, an attribute preference weight vector solving model is built. Moreover, by searching for service combination optimal solution through multi-objective planning, the personalization of web service combination is realized. A protoype system has demonstrated its feasability.

- Description: This article introduces abductive case-based reasoning (CBR) and attempts to show that abductive CBR and deductive CBR can be integrated in clinical process and problem solving. Then it provides a unified formalization for integration of abduction, abductive CBR, deduction, and deductive CBR. This article also investigates abductive case retrieval and deductive case retrieval using similarity relations, fuzzy similarity relations, and similarity metrics. The proposed approach demonstrates that the integration of deductive CBR and abductive CBR is of practical significance in problem solving such as system diagnosis and analysis, and will facilitate research of abductive

- Description: The recent research evolution on big data has brought exciting aspiration to mathematicians, computer scientists and business professionals alike. However, the lack of a sound mathematical foundation presents itself as a real challenge amidst the swarm of big data marketing activities. This paper intends to propose a possible mathematical theory as a foundation for big data research. Specifically, we propose the concept of the adjective "big" as a mathematical operator, furthermore, the concept of so-called "big" logically and naturally fits the concept of being "linguistics variable" as per fuzzy logic research community for decades. The consequence of adopting such a mathematical modeling can be profoundly considered as an abstraction of the technologies, systems, tools for data management and processing that transforms data into big data. In addition, the concept of infinity of the big data is based on the theory of calculus and the set theory. Furthermore, the concept of relativity of the big data, as we find out, is based on the operations of the fuzzy subsets theory. The proposed approach in this paper, we hope, can facilitate and open up more opportunities for big data research and developments on big data analytics, business analytics, big data intelligence, big data computing as well as big data science. © 2017 World Scientific Publishing Company.

- Description: Experience-based reasoning (EBR) is a paradigm used in almost every human activity as a part of human reasoning. However, EBR has not been seriously studied from a logical viewpoint. This paper will attempt to fill this gap by providing a unified logical approach to EBR. More specifically, this paper first examines EBR and inference rules. Then it proposes eight different rules of inference for EBR, which cover all possible EBRs from a logical viewpoint. These eight different rules of inference constitute the fundamentals for all EBR paradigms, and therefore will be the theoretical foundation for EBR. The proposed approach will facilitate research and development of EBR, human reasoning, and common sense reasoning. © 2017 World Scientific Publishing Company.

- Description: Big data analytics and business analytics are a disruptive technology and innovative solution for enterprise development. However, what is the relationship between business analytics, big data analytics, and enterprise information systems (EIS)? How can business analytics enhance the development of EIS? How can analytics be incorporated into EIS? These are still big issues. This article addresses these three issues by proposing ontology of business analytics, presenting an analytics service-oriented architecture (ASOA) and applying ASOA to EIS, where our surveyed data analysis showed that the proposed ASOA is viable for developing EIS. This article then examines incorporation of business analytics into EIS through proposing a model for business analytics service-based EIS, or ASEIS for short. The proposed approach in this article might facilitate the research and development of EIS, business analytics, big data analytics, and business intelligence.

- Description: Big data analytics is playing a pivotal role in big data, artificial intelligence, management, governance, and society with the dramatic development of big data, analytics, artificial intelligence. However, what is the spectrum of big data analytics and how to develop the spectrum are still a fundamental issue in the academic community. This article addresses these issues by presenting a big data derived small data approach. It then uses the proposed approach to analyze the top 150 profiles of Google Scholar, including big data analytics as one research field and proposes a spectrum of big data analytics. The spectrum of big data analytics mainly includes data mining, machine learning, data science and systems, artificial intelligence, distributed computing and systems, and cloud computing, taking into account degree of importance. The proposed approach and findings will generalize to other researchers and practitioners of big data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science. © 2019 International Association for Computer Information Systems.
