TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of machine learning foundations and development cycle and examine how conceptual modeling can be applied to machine learning and propose a framework for incorporating conceptual modeling into data science projects.
Abstract: Both conceptual modeling and machine learning have long been recognized as important areas of research. With the increasing emphasis on digitizing and processing large amounts of data for business and other applications, it would be helpful to consider how these areas of research can complement each other. To understand how they can be paired, we provide an overview of machine learning foundations and development cycle. We then examine how conceptual modeling can be applied to machine learning and propose a framework for incorporating conceptual modeling into data science projects. The framework is illustrated by applying it to a healthcare application. For the inverse pairing, machine learning can impact conceptual modeling through text and rule mining, as well as knowledge graphs. The pairing of conceptual modeling and machine learning in this way should help lay the foundations for future research.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new Intelligent Digital Humming tool (IDH) is proposed to tackle the traditional digital twin automation challenges and a robust automated system is also proposed to provide a high level of convergence and synchronization between the developed DT and the physical manufacturing plant.
Abstract: The introduction of Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) in the manufacturing industry has widely contributed to improving the underlying processes. It will usher the doors towards the implementation of newer emerging technologies such as Smart Manufacturing and Digital Twin technologies (DT). This chapter highlights aspects of a new design for an intelligent system which involves the creation of a DT system within the semiconductor manufacturing area. The system will also include designing intelligent agents, we name them as Intelligent Digital Humming tool (IDH) tool. A design for a robust automated system is also proposed to provide a high level of convergence and synchronization between the developed DT and the physical manufacturing plant. On this basis, the chapter provides a new approach that is going to help an international semiconductor manufacturing company to digitize and automate their physical production process. Furthermore, this project aims to design a high-level application that allows engineers to facilitate their product design, improve their planning and incorporate predictive maintenance. This paper aims to overcome the heterogeneity, connectivity and automation challenges of designing an automated DT that controls the physical manufacturing processes. Also, a novel new Intelligent Digital Humming tool (IDH) is proposed to tackle the traditional digital twin automation challenges.

TL;DR: This paper aims to present a discussion of interoperability issues across the manufacturing systems, as well as to introduce possible solutions according to the related works, to provide a holistic approach for long-term competitiveness solutions.
Abstract: Digital manufacturing has been challenged by the manufacturing industry to rationalise different ways to connect and to exchange information and knowledge across the manufacturing systems. One of the main pillars of the Industry 4.0 concept is the horizontal and vertical integration with intelligent and self-adaptive systems. For this to be possible, the manufacturing industry applies an extensive range of software tools to aid its activities, such as SCADA, MES, ERP, 3D CAD, CAM, and so on. Individually, each one performs its function to support the manufacturing process. However, these software tools do not have an effective integration and interoperation, since they present different database structures, variables that have the same information with different names and data structures, and closed systems. Thus, it has been identified semantic interoperability issues (misinterpretations and mistakes) in view of the information heterogeneity from multiple perspectives and their relationships across the manufacturing process. In this context, this paper aims to present a discussion of interoperability issues across the manufacturing systems, as well as to introduce possible solutions according to the related works. a holistic approach is critical factors for long-term competitiveness solutions. The literature points out that the solution to this problem may be in the application of semantic technologies. These have the potential to provide solutions that are more comprehensive than the industrial approaches that have been applied through the formalization of information so that knowledge can be shared among multiple domains.

TL;DR: A model is proposed, describing how internal technology changes influence the way companies collaborate with each other, and by interviewing several leading firms in the area of automation and connectivity, optimizations to this model are proposed.
Abstract: Industry 4.0 is disrupting many businesses, changing not only the way companies work internally, but also externally. Relationship building between firms proved to become increasingly important since the start of the globalization, but industry 4.0, with its possibilities for connectivity, takes this even further. Based on established literature, a model is proposed, describing how internal technology changes influence the way companies collaborate with each other. By interviewing several leading firms in the area of automation and connectivity, optimizations to this model are proposed. The main factors in relationship building prove to be cooperation, commitment, trust, transparency, communication quality, information sharing, participation, joint problem solving, and conflict resolution techniques. This paper helps in evaluating those factors in the context of industry 4.0, while at the same time showing how they connect to internal changes caused by the digitization.

TL;DR: Porter's concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into "activities", or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage as discussed by the authors, has become an essential part of international business thinking, taking strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities.
Abstract: COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE introduces a whole new way of understanding what a firm does. Porter's groundbreaking concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into 'activities', or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage. Now an essential part of international business thinking, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE takes strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities. Its powerful framework provides the tools to understand the drivers of cost and a company's relative cost position. Porter's value chain enables managers to isolate the underlying sources of buyer value that will command a premium price, and the reasons why one product or service substitutes for another. He shows how competitive advantage lies not only in activities themselves but in the way activities relate to each other, to supplier activities, and to customer activities. That the phrases 'competitive advantage' and 'sustainable competitive advantage' have become commonplace is testimony to the power of Porter's ideas. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE has guided countless companies, business school students, and scholars in understanding the roots of competition. Porter's work captures the extraordinary complexity of competition in a way that makes strategy both concrete and actionable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a framework to position sustainable entrepreneurship in relation to sustainability innovation, which is based on a typology of sustainable entrepreneurship, including social and institutional entrepreneurship.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework to position sustainable entrepreneurship in relation to sustainability innovation. The framework builds on a typology of sustainable entrepreneurship, develops it by including social and institutional entrepreneurship, i.e. the application of the entrepreneurial approach towards meeting societal goals and towards changing market contexts, and relates it to sustainability innovation. The framework provides a reference for managers to introduce sustainability innovation and to pursue sustainable entrepreneurship. Methodologically, the paper develops an approach of qualitative measurement of sustainable entrepreneurship and how to assess the position of a company in a classification matrix. The degree of environmental or social responsibility orientation in the company is assessed on the basis of environmental and social goals and policies, the organization of environmental and social management in the company and the communication of environmental and social issues. The market impact of the company is measured on the basis of market share, sales growth and reactions of competitors. The paper finds conditions under which sustainable entrepreneurship and sustainability innovation emerge spontaneously. The research has implications for theory and practitioners in that it clarifies which firms are most likely under specific conditions to make moves towards sustainability innovation. The paper makes a contribution in showing that extant research needs to be expanded with regard to motivations for innovation and that earlier models of sustainable entrepreneurship need to be refined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis, defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms.
Abstract: Summary Since 1989, efforts to understand the nature of interfirm resource sharing in the form of industrial symbiosis and to replicate in a deliberate way what was largely self-organizing in Kalundborg, Denmark have followed many paths, some with much success and some with very little. This article provides a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis—defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms. It finds that “uncovering” existing symbioses has led to more sustainable industrial development than attempts to design and build eco-industrial parks incorporating physical exchanges. By examining 15 proposed projects brought to national and international attention by the U.S. President’s Council on Sustainable Development beginning in the early 1990s, and contrasting these with another 12 projects observed to share more elements of self-organization, recommendations are offered to stimulate the identification and uncovering of already existing “kernels” of symbiosis. In addition, policies and practices are suggested to identify early-stage precursors of potentially larger symbioses that can be nurtured and developed further. The article concludes that environmentally and economically desirable symbiotic exchanges are all around us and now we must shift our gaze to find and foster them.
