BPM2DDD: A Systematic Process for Identifying Domains from Business Processes Models

Domain-driven design is one of the most used approaches for identifying microservice architectures, which should be built around business capabilities. There are a number of documentation with principles and patterns for its application. However, despite its increasing use there is still a lack of systematic approaches for creating the context maps that will be used to design the microservices. This article presents BPM2DDD, a systematic approach for identification of bounded contexts and their relationships based on the analysis of business processes models, which provide a business view of an organisation. We present an example of its application in a real business process, which has also be used to perform a comparative application with external analysts. The technique has been applied to a real project in the department of transport of a Brazilian state capital, and has been incorporated into the software development process employed by them to develop their new system.
Unintended Bias Evaluation: An Analysis of Hate Speech Detection and Gender Bias Mitigation on Social Media Using Ensemble Learning

Hate speech on online social media platforms is now at a level that has been considered a serious concern by governments, media outlets, and scientists, especially because it is easily spread, promoting harm to individuals and society, and made it virtually impossible to tackle with using just human analysis. Automatic approaches using machine learning and natural language processing are helpful for detection. For such applications, amongst several different approaches, it is essential to investigate the systems’ robustness to deal with biases towards identity terms (gender, race, religion, for example). In this work, we analyse gender bias in different datasets and proposed a ensemble learning approach based on different feature spaces for hate speech detection with the aim that the model can learn from different abstractions of the problem, namely unintended bias evaluation metrics. We have used nine different feature spaces to train the pool of classifiers and evaluated our approach on a publicly available corpus, and our results demonstrate its effectiveness compared to state-of-the-art solutions.
