“…These techniques combine extensive use of NLP tools with specifically tailored analysis techniques, in order to extract process-related information from natural language texts. Despite the use of state-of-the-art NLP tools, the existing approaches have been found to produce inaccurate models, which require extensive manual revision [250].…”

“…Third, our approach does not take discourse statements such as "after" or "before" into account. Instead, we use a con-servative approach that only considers the order in the text, because existing techniques that analyze discourse statements have been shown to produce inaccuracies [250]. As a result of these limitations, our approach may identify wrong alignments.…”

“…Techniques for transforming process descriptions into models do address the problem of inferring structural and behavioral process information from a natural language text. However, these approaches have been found to produce incomplete or inaccurate models that require extensive manual revision [250]. This makes them unsuitable to support the automatic detection of inconsistencies between textual and model-based process descriptions.…”

“…The relevance and widespread use of text documents as a source for process analysis has been emphasized in various contexts [99,163,166,250]. The majority of works that consider the analysis of textual artifacts related to business processes focus on the automated derivation of process models from them.…”

“…Hacer un protocolo de comprobación, es decir, un proceso sistemático de validación de hipótesis para valorar y comparar propuestas de diseño entre sí ha mejorado la confiabilidad en el proceso de diseño y ha disminuido los tiempos de este, así como el desarrollo de productos y servicios (time to market) (Selway, et al, 2015).…”

ArtículosDiseño de herramientas precisas usadas con las manos:seguimiento ocular y otras técnicas de usabilidad 1Designing precision hand tools used by hands:eye tracking and other techniques of usabilityDesign de ferramentas do precisão:controle ocular e outras técnicas da usabilidade 1 Investigación realizada por el Grupo de Investigación MIMA-PRO, adscrito al Laboratorio de Ergonomía y Factores Humanos de la Escuela de Diseño Industrial de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Bogotá. Este proyecto fue financiado por la Facultad de Artes de la misma institución. ResumenEste artículo presenta las conclusiones de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue caracterizar atributos de diseño que permitan a creativos y otras partes interesadas desarrollar asertivamente un dispositivo de precisión usado con las manos. Para ello, se tuvieron en cuenta las técnicas de la usabilidad como los test y el seguimiento ocular, y se puo en práctica en un ejercicio con cuarenta usuarios que probaron cinco dispositivos representativos de las herramientas de precisión operadas con las manos: destornillador, esfero, llave, pincel y dosificador, por medio de la ejecución de tres procesos: reconocer el objeto, hacer una tarea real y otras controladas. Se concluyó que las personas muestran una curva de aprendizaje a medida que repiten la tarea solicitada, y que la configuración y la morfología de los sólidos para el agarre de los objetos precisos, influye en el desempeño de las mismas. Las herramientas con morfologías complejas presentaron mayor cantidad de visualizaciones, mientras que el diseño adecuado del sistema de control o mango de las herramientas de precisión requiere de superficies fáciles de identificar y que se parezcan a herramientas similares de la vida cotidiana.Palabras clave: usabilidad, ergonomía, diseño centrado en el usuario, herramientas manuales, seguimiento ocular. Abstract:This article presents the conclusions of an investigation whose objective was to characterize design attributes that allow creative and other interested parties to assertively develop a precision device used with the hands. In order to do this, usability techniques such as eye tests and traditional testing were taken into account, and were implemented in an exercise with forty users who tested five devices representative of precision handoperated tools: screwdriver, pen, key, brush and dispenser, by means of the execution of three processes: recognizing the object, doing a real task and controlled ones. It was concluded that people show a learning curve as they repeat the task requested, and that the configuration and morphology of the solids for the grip of the precise objects influences the performance of the same. Tools with complex morphologies showed more visualizations, while the proper design of the control system or handle of precision tools requires surfaces that are easy to identify and that resemble similar tools of everyday life.Keywords: usability, ergonomics, user center design, hand tools, eye-tracking.

To support decision making, organizations tend to operate according to Business Rules, which are usually represented in a natural language format easily understood by all intervenors. According to the business rules manifesto by the Business Rules Group (OMG), rules build on facts, and facts build on concepts as expressed by terms. To avoid ambiguity and misunderstanding, the standardization of the terminology used at the business level becomes a persistent need. However, doing so manually is error prone and time consuming, especially that the Business Rules are the subject of continuous updating. In this paper, we present an automated approach to generate the Business Vocabulary from textual statements of Business Rules. Our approach is distinguished from existing works in that it extracts the Terminological Dictionary as described by the Semantic of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) standard to provide a more comprehensive meaning for each concept. Accordingly, an in‐depth Natural Language Processing (NLP) is used to extract not only flat list of terms and relations, but also extra specifications and implicit knowledge. With a satisfactory result, our approach has proved its capability to automatically generate the SBVR Terminological Dictionary from large number of natural language business rules statements.
