Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is a genre of computerized systems which allows system development corporations to efficiently and more easily manage, maintain and handle the applications lifecycle. These ALM systems have a wide variety of tools which can be integrated to enable and support collaborative work, while they act at the core of the organisation. Todays ALM systems support flexible system development methods throughout the entire development process. This paper focuses on a case-study of a Swedish business- and technology corporation and their use of two ALM systems with an aim to unravel the differences between these systems and their functionality to serve as a basis for decision making regarding their utilization of best practice with their ALM-Systems. Meanwhile we studied their approach to ALM systems to see if they were using them according to the initial idea of ALM systems. The study is of a qualitative characteristic and both semi-structured interviews with employees and self-gathered data have been used to enable our research and the creation of benchmarks. The results from our study show that the corporation uses both their ALM systems as intended from the initial idea, but we have identified a need to integrate one of the ALM systems with their costumer support portal through a web service. To enable this integration they will raise the amount of affordance to a distinctive degree due to the seamless connection and communication between the ALM system and the customer portal.

As digital content becomes increasingly pervasive in our daily lives, next-generation organizational tools must be developed to help end users curate that information. The information management tools available today are limited in several ways. They are either restrictive in how users define and organize their data, or they offer few options in how users can view and interact with that data. In this thesis, we introduce a new application geared toward the layman end user to help resolve this lack of personalization when managing data. With this tool, users can store any collection of information (i.e. to do lists, address book, DVD collection), customize how they want to view and browse that data, and create any number of visualizations for the same data set or overlapping sets of data. For example, a user might want to manage an address book for a collection of all contacts, and manage a different set of items involving all research-related items, including colleagues, in another visualization. This tool allows her to do this without duplicating the overlapping data set for contact information of colleagues, enabling her to make changes to an item in one visualization and see that change applied to any other visualization that includes the same item. Moreover, users can import data from other sources, as well as share their data with others either with a visualization, such that the receiver can interact with the visualization the user has already created, or as raw data, such that the receiver can create his or her own visualization of the data.

Nguyen, Nguyet Thi Minh. "Earnings management : detection, application and contagion." Thesis, University of Kent, 2017. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/59823/.
Full textAbstract:
The accounting scandals in the 2000s and 2010s have led to a number of large-scale reforms in financial reporting and corporate governance regulations around the world, and still attract a lot of public debates recently. In that context, the demand for further knowledge on earnings management is very topical. What we have known is earnings management does exist. What we have not known, however, seems still overwhelming. We need to know more about issues such as how earnings management could be detected, to what extent earnings management has an impact on investment decisions, what drives earnings management behaviour etc. The accounting research community has responded to such demand by producing a very large, and still growing, volume of publications on the topic during the last few decades. In fact, earnings management has now been one of the largest strands in the mainstream accounting literature. This thesis aims to make original and important contributions to the literature on earnings management. The main components of the thesis comprise of three empirical chapters which analyse secondary data on the United Kingdom's (the UK hereafter) stock market during the period from 1995 to 2011. The contributions are made on three important and inter-related research strands within the earnings management literature, namely the earnings management detection models, the impact of earnings management on stock market investment, and the spread of earnings management as a corporate decision through board network. The first empirical chapter constructs a signal-based composite index, namely ESCORE, which captures the context of earnings management. Specifically, ESCORE aggregates fifteen individual signals related to earnings management based on prior relevant literature. Empirical results using UK data shows that when ESCORE is higher, firms do manage earnings with greater magnitude and are more likely to be most aggressive using both accruals and real earnings management. Firms which are investigated for financial-statement-related irregularities are also shown to have significantly higher ESCORE. The composite score can be easily applied in practice as well as replicated in subsequent studies, especially in emerging market where small samples technically constrain the use of other existing earnings management detection models. The approach to construct ESCORE is innovative and it only measures the likelihood rather than the magnitude of earnings management. This aspect of ESCORE is important given the growing criticisms that none of the existing earnings management models could actually measure the magnitude of earnings management. Using ESCORE as a measure that captures the general context of earnings management, the second empirical chapter asks if investors rationally price the information contained in such context. Empirical evidence shows that firms with low ESCORE outperform those with high ESCORE by 1.37% per month after controlling for risk loadings on the market, size, book-to-market and momentum factors in up to one year after portfolio formation. The relationship between ESCORE and future returns is still significant, in both economic and statistical terms, after controlling for various other known 'market anomalies', including the size, value-glamour, seasoned equity offer, market irrational reaction to financial distress, balance sheet bloat, profitability and discretionary accruals. This finding is in line with the behavioural explanation that investors tend to ignore the observable context of earnings management under the influence of the well-documented base rate fallacy. This is an original piece of knowledge which makes significant and interesting contributions to the literature on market anomalies. The third and last empirical chapter investigates whether aggressive earnings management practices spread across firms sharing interlocked directors. The evidence shows that if a firm aggressively manages earnings (referred to as a 'contagious firm') via accruals (or production activities and discretionary expenses) manipulation in a year, any firms (referred to as 'exposed firms') which are interlocked with that contagious firm in that year and the two following years are more likely to aggressively manage earnings via accruals (or production activities and discretionary expenses, respectively) manipulation. The contagion effect is found to be more pronounced if the interlocked director is male, older, British, and charged with duties which could influence financial reporting. The contagion effect is robust after controlling for endogeneity issues and common characteristics of the interlocked firms. The evidence presented in this chapter is both original and a significant contribution to our knowledge on the impact of board networks on corporate decisions, a topic which attracts a lot of attention as it fits directly to the process of reforming corporate governance codes to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the boards of directors.

Full textAbstract:
High Performance Computing (HPC) and Cloud Computing datacenters are extensively used to steer and solve complex problems in science, engineering, and business, such as calculating correlations and making predictions. Already in a single datacenter server, there are thousands of hardware and software metrics – Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – that individually and aggregated can give insight in the performance, robustness, and efficiency of the datacenter and the provisioned applications. At the datacenter level, the number of KPIs is even higher. The fast growing interest on datacenter management from both public and industry together with the rapid expansion in scale and complexity of datacenter resources and the services being provided on them have made monitoring, profiling, controlling, and provisioning compute resources dynamically at runtime into a challenging and complex task. Commonly, correlations of application KPIs, like response time and throughput, with resource capacities show that runtime systems (e.g., containers or virtual machines) that are used to provision these applications do not utilize available resources efficiently. This reduces datacenter efficiency, which in term results in higher operational costs and longer waiting times for results. The goal of this thesis is to develop tools and autonomic techniques for improving datacenter operations, management and utilization, while improving and/or minimizing impacts on applications performance. To this end, we make use of application resource descriptors to create a library that dynamically adjusts the amount of resources used, enabling elasticity for scientific workflows in HPC datacenters. For mission critical applications, high availability is of great concern since these services must be kept running even in the event of system failures. By modeling and correlating specific resource counters, like CPU, memory and network utilization, with the number of runtime synchronizations, we present adaptive mechanisms to dynamically select which fault tolerant mechanism to use. Likewise, for scientific applications we propose a hybrid extensible architecture for dual-level scheduling of data intensive jobs in HPC infrastructures, allowing operational simplification, on-boarding of new types of applications and achieving greater job throughput with higher overall datacenter efficiency.

Delivering quality user experience is the most critical goal of any product development and marketing team in any organization. With the advancement of technologies in the fields of data science and data computation, it is now possible to know users more efficiently and create solutions that satisfy their needs to the fullest. In this thesis, I explore how the digital e-commerce and online content provider companies are utilizing many different personalization methods which are helpful in increasing the rate of successful transactions, however, a similar trend is not visible in SaaS applications. Cloud computation has made software both easily accessible and replaceable, putting a lot of stress on both the value of the product as well as the user experience. Many software companies still follow the traditional approach of creating static personas for product design and marketing purposes and create one fits all solution. Machine/application data, which is continuously generated by the software applications, tracking each and every user activity, can be extremely useful in understanding the user behavior and thus giving companies the ability to create more personalized and adaptive solutions. I explore data generated about a pedagogical website at MIT which is used to support instruction in computation-open to students from all the departments. I applied machine learning algorithms to show that there are different clusters/classes of students in a class. By tracking student activity and performance on class website, it can be predicted which class they belong to. This information can be used to develop customized solutions for all the students.

Prostate and breast cancer are the most common cause of cancers in men and women, respectively. Medical imaging plays an important role in breast and prostate cancer detection and evaluation. Then to prove that our web-based medical application could be applied in different medical disciplines, the main part of this thesis is the implementation of two frameworks as a Java applet interface designed as a web-based tool in the domains of mammography from X-rays in radiology, and of prostate imaging from an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This aims to facilitate the diagnosis of new mammographic and prostate cases by providing a set of image processing tools that allow a better visualization of the images, and a set of drawing tools used to annotate the suspicious regions (overlays). Each annotation allows including the attributes considered by the experts when issuing the final diagnosis. The overall set of overlays is stored in a database as eXtensible Markup Language (XML) files associated with the original images. Finally, an exhaustive evaluation of the results is also discussed in this thesis. For the application on mammography, the experimental study is performed in order to evaluate the scalability, complexity and response speed at the proposed tool. For the application on MRI of prostate cancer, the evaluation focused on the decrease of the variability of the expert assessments when collaborative work is performed. To conclude, a new architecture with the main goal of managing patient databases with potentially multi-modal imaging is presented such as for an MRI of the prostate cancer and evaluation from potentially several experts.En aquesta tesi es realitza una revisió bibliogràfica de les principals publicacions recents en els últims anys en aplicacions mèdiques basades en web.

La part principal d’aquesta tesi és la implementació d’una eina basada en la web amb la finalitat de demostrar la integritat i aplicació en diferents disciplines mediques. En aquest sentit, l’aplicació proposada en aquest projecte de tesis ha sigut implementada com a eina d’ajuda al diagnòstic de càncer de mama i pròstata. L’objectiu és facilitar el diagnòstic proporcionant un conjunt d’eines de processat d’imatge que permetin una millor visualització de les imatges, i un conjunt d’eines d’anotació de regions sospitoses o malignes (superposicions). Cada anotació permet incloure tots els atributs i especificacions considerades pels experts a l’emetre el diagnòstic final. S’han dissenyat diferents arquitectures per a la gestió de base de dades (per exemple PACS per emmagatzemar imatges monogràfiques). Per altra banda, el conjunt global d’anotacions s’emmagatzemen en una base de dades d’arxius XML associats a les imatges originals. Conseqüentment, aquesta nova arquitectura es presenta amb l’objectiu d’obtenir una base de dades de casos diagnosticats i validats per radiòlegs experts per a la formació de radiòlegs novells. Finalment, conclusions i noves línies d’investigació associades al projecte com a treball futur són presentades en aquesta tesi.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The intent of this thesis is to examine the solving of problems with neural networks. Three cases are investigated: the calculation of a Visual Condition Index (VCI), the determination ofthe reseal need, and the back-calculation of E-moduli from measured deflection basins. The calculation of a Visual Condition Index (VCI) is a very good example of how a neural network can be applied to reach a conclusion through the association of a number of facts with one single outcome. VISual assessments of the road condition are done on a yearly basis and the Assessor gives his impression of the condition of a road. A neural network simulates the association between the inputs of elements of distress on the road and the eventual assessment of the overall condition expressed as the VCI, very well. Reseal need is determined by the Provincial Administration: Western Cape (PAWC) with a Reseal Expert System. Data produced by the expert system was used to train a neural network to determine the reseal need. The strength of using these two methods in combination is shown. Meaningful results could not be obtained due to insufficient data in certain categories. Deflection measurements with a Falling Weight Deflectometer are meaningful indicators of pavement strength. Back-calculation is used to calculate E-moduli of pavement layers which can be used in a mechanistic approach to estimate remaining pavement life from pavement response. Conventional backcalculation programs, when implemented in a pavement management system, result in very long computing times due to the large volumes of data available. Neural networks offer the alternative of very fast processing, making the implementation of back-calculation in real-time possible. It is shown that neural networks can back-calculate E-moduli, but with varying degrees of success. The main problem identified is the basis on which the dataset used to train neural networks, is generated using linear elastic theory. The biggest limitation in the linear elastic theory is that non-linear and stress dependent behaviour of materials cannot be simulated, two aspects that have a major influence on the back-calculated E-moduli. Improvements in the data generation process using a theory that accommodates non-linear and stress dependent behaviour of materials may result in improved performance of the neural networks. It is also shown that it is very difficult to design a single neural network that can be successfully used on all the possible pavement types. It is better to identify representative pavement types and train neural networks for each of these. Neural networks can be applied with success in the pavement management field and the combination of Expert Systems, Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic can be a very powerful method to solve complicated problems. Care should be taken in the design of the neural networks and a good understanding ofthe data is a prerequisite for success.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die bedoeling met die tesis is om die vermoë van neurale netwerke om probleme op te los, te ondersoek. Drie gevalle word beskou: die berekening van 'n Visuele Toestand Indeks (VTI), die bepaling van die herseël behoefte en die terugberekening van die E-moduli vanaf defleksie metings. Die berekening van die VTI demonstreer die vermoë van neurale netwerke om,deur middel van die assosiasie tussen 'n hele aantal veranderlikes tot 'n enkele uitkoms, tot 'n gevolgtrekking te kom. Visuele opnames van paaie word op 'n jaarlikse basis gedoen waar die opnemer sy indrukke gee van die toestand van die pad. In Neurale netwerk simuleer die assosiasie tussen die insette (waargenome gebreke) en die uiteindelike toestands beskrywing van die pad, uitgedruk as die VTI, baie goed. Die Provinsiale Administrase: Wes-Kaap bepaal die jaarlikse herseëlbehoefte met behulp van 'n Herseël Ekspertstelsel. Die uitsette van hierdie stelsel is gebruik om 'n neurale netwerk op te lei om die herseëlbehoefte te bepaal. Die voordele om die twee stelsels saam aan te wend, word getoon. Betekenisvolle resultate kom nie bekom word nie vanweë onvoldoende inligting in sekere kategorieë. Defleksiemetings deur 'n vallende-gewig meetapparaat is betekenisvolle indikators van die plaveiselsterkte. Die E-moduli van die plaveisellae word bepaal deur terugberekenings vanaf defleksiemetings. Hierdie Emoduli kan gebruik word om met behulp van meganistiese metodes die oorblywende leeftyd van 'n plaveisel te bepaal. Konvensionele terugberekenings programme, geïmplementeer in In plaveiselbestuurstelsel, neem lank om die groot hoeveelheid defleksiemetings te verwerk. Neurale netwerke bied die alternatief van die intydse berekening van E-moduli vanweë die besonder hoë berekeningspoed wat behaal word. In hierdie tesis word aangetoon dat neurale netwerke aangewend kan word om die terugberekenigs te doen, maar met 'n wisselende mate van sukses. Die gebruik van die lineêre elastiese teorie om die data vir die neurale netwerke te genereer, word as 'n probleem geïdentifiseer. Die grootste tekortkoming wat met die lineêre elastiese teorie ondervind word is dat dit nie die nie-lineêre en spanningsafhanklike gedrag van materiale voldoende simuleer nie. Beide hierdie twee aspekte het 'n groot invloed op die akkuraatheid van terugberekende E-moduli. Verbeteringe in die generering van data deur 'n teorie te gebruik wat nie-lineêre en spanningsafhanklike gedrag van materiale behoorlik simuleer, mag lei tot 'n beter prestasie van die neurale netwerke. Dit word ook getoon dat dit moeilik is om 'n enkele neurale netwerk te ontwerp wat suksesvol gebruik kan word op alle plaveiseltipes. Dit is beter om verteenwoordigende plaveiseltipes te identifiseer en dan neurale netwerke vir elkeen te ontwerp. Neurale netwerke kan met sukses in die plaveiselbestuur veld toegepas word en die kombinasie van ekspertsteiseis, neurale netwerke en vaagheidstelsels (fuzzy) kan tot kragtige metodes lei om komplekse probleme op te los. Sorg moet aan die dag gelê word met die ontwerp van neurale netwerke en 'n goeie begrip van die data is 'n voorvereiste vir sukses.

Full textAbstract:
Den här uppsatsen behandlar organisering av applikationsportföljer. En applikationsportfölj är enligtvår definition i denna uppsats det samlade antalet applikationer som finns inom en verksamhet ochen applikation är ett informationssystem som används direkt i verksamheten. Med organisering menar vi i denna uppsats hur ett systemstöd för styrning av en applikationsportfölj kan strukturerasoch vad det bör finnas för information om varje applikation.
Uppsatsen redogör för ett antal undersökningar som vi har genomfört på olika affärsenheter inomSaab Group i Linköping och Huskvarna samt en undersökning på ett referensföretag undersommaren 2009. Syftet med uppsatsen är således att undersöka hur en koncern kan organisera engemensam applikationsportfölj. Vi kommer dra nytta av lärdomar från de olika affärsenheterna och tre teoretiska fält i vår undersökning: Application Portfolio Management, ITIL och affärsmässigförvaltningsstyrning. Utifrån detta syfte formulerade vi ett antal frågeställningar där vår huvudfrågablev: Hur kan en gemensam applikationsportfölj organiseras i en koncern?
Insamlandet av material till undersökningen skedde genom intervjuer utförda på de olikaaffärsenheterna på Saab Group och referensföretaget. Vi har även själva fått möjligheten att undersöka två systemstöd som stödjer organiseringen av applikationsportföljen på Saab Group.
Vi har genom vår undersökning kommit fram till ett antal punkter som är viktiga vid organiseringenav en applikationsportfölj. Följande information om varje applikation bör tas hänsyn till vid beslutrörande applikationsportföljen: kategorisering av applikationen, kostnader för applikationen, applikationens livscykel, applikationens användningsgrad, applikationens betydelse för verksamheten och applikationens koppling till den verksamhetsprocess den är tänkt att stödja. Vi har utifrån dettatagit fram ett antal attribut vi anser borde finnas med i ett systemstöd för en applikationsportfölj.
Vi ser att ITIL kan bidra med en modell för livscykelhantering. ITIL förespråkar även ett gemensamtspråk i verksamheten vilket är viktigt för att förenkla arbetet mellan olika affärsenheter, därmedockså att organisera en gemensam applikationsportfölj. Det finns även processer för incident- och problemhantering som skulle kunna vara användbart vid arbete med applikationsportföljen. Det trorvi är en fördel för att effektivare kunna hantera sina applikationer och minska tiden som applikationer måste tas ur drift på grund av felhantering eller liknande.
Vi anser att affärsmässig förvaltningsstyrning kan föra IT-verksamheten och affärsverksamheten närmare varandra. Det går också genom denna modell förtydliga vad som är knutet till en applikationoch detta skulle vara användbart i organiseringen av applikationsportföljen.

Full textAbstract:
Information Technology (IT) has become a vital tool for most industrial businesses and Scania CV AB is no exception. As the importance of IT generally has increased, the usage and number of applications has grown as well. Applications are substantial assets for an organization that is heavily supported by IT. Consequently, a way of managing applications efficiently and sustaining the costs of applications rather low ? doing more with less ? is required. In addition it is also important, from a business perspective, that applications as part of IT are aligned with business strategies and goals. Application Portfolio Management (APM) is a practice and a business-centric activity aimed to allocate IT resources to support business objectives and strategies; it helps determining the impact of applications and the relative importance of each application in the portfolio to the business. APM attempts to justify and measure the financial benefits of each application relative to the costs of the applications? maintenance and operations. Performing APM successfully is nevertheless a complicated issue, and something that many businesses are challenged with on a daily basis. New applications are constantly and regularly added, downloaded, purchased or selfdeveloped ? too often without any further control. In order to regain the control of the software that automates the business, and ensuring that the applications adds value and reliability to the company, Scania CV AB requires a rigorous and comprehensive method for an APM approach. In this master thesis together with Camilla Palomeques?s thesis1, such a method is provided. These two theses also offer a suggestion on how to proceed with the APM effort at Scania CV AB.

Full textAbstract:
Nitrogen (N) is a key nutrient input to crops and one of the major pollutants to the environment from agriculture in the United States. Recent developments in site-specific management (SSM) technology have the potential to reduce both N overapplication and underapplication and increase farmers' net returns. In Virginia, due to the high variability of within-field yield-limiting factors such as soil physical properties and fertility, the adoption of SSM is hindered by high gridsampling cost. Many Virginia corn-wheat-soybean farms have practiced generating yield maps using yield monitors for several years even though few variable applications based on yield maps were reported. It is unknown if the information generated by yield monitors under actual production situations can be used to direct N management for increased net returns in this area.
The overall objective of the study is to analyze the economic and environmental impact of alternative management strategies for N in corn and wheat production based on site-specific information in eastern Virginia. Specifically, evaluations were made of three levels of site-specific information regarding crop N requirements combined with variable and uniform N application. The three levels of information are information about the yield potential of the predominant soil type within the field, information about yield potentials of all soils within the field (soil zones), information about yield potentials of smaller sub-field units which are aggregated into functional zones. Effects of information on expected net returns and net N (applied N that is not removed by the crop) were evaluated for corn-wheat-soybean fields in eastern Virginia. Ex post and ex ante evaluations of information were carried out.
Historical weather data and farm-level yield data were used to generate yield sequences for individual fields. A Markov chain model was used to describe both temporal and spatial yield variation. Soil maps were used to divide a field into several soil management units. Cluster analysis was used to group subfield units into functional zones based on yield monitor data. Yield monitor data were used to evaluate ex post information and variable application values for 1995-1999, and ex ante information and variable application values for 1999.
Ex post analysis results show that soil zone information increased N input but decreased net return, while functional zone information decreased N input and increased net returns. Variable application decreased N input compared with uniform application. Variable application based on soil zone information reduced net return due to cost of overapplication or underapplication. Variable application based on functional information increased net return.
Ex ante results show that information on spatial variability was not able to increase farmers?net return due to the cost of variable N application and information. Variable rate application decreases N input relative to uniform application. However, imprecision in the spatial predictor makes the variable application unprofitable due to an imbalance between costs of under- and over-application of N. Sensitivity analysis showed that value of information was positive when temporal uncertainty was eliminated.
The ex post results of this study suggest there is potential to improve efficiency of N use and farmers?net returns with site specific management techniques. The ex ante results suggest that site specific management improvements should be tested under conditions faced by farmers including imperfect information about temporal and spatial yield variability.Ph.

Under the influence of the trend of knowledge-based economy, intellectual capital has played a major role. How to use the intellectual capital to get more benefits for organizations is important rather than just having a lot of money. In recent years, the government tries to apply business model to the management of cultural and educational institutes, intending to use techniques of business management on the real practice of cultural and educational institutes. Currently, museums in Taiwan are getting more and more multi-directional. Hence how to set up the management strategy is important. There are many models and techniques of management, and knowledge management is now the focus. With its emphasis on the operating procedures, and combination with professional techniques, it can increase the beneficial potential of a business. By the emphasis of the government and the trend of knowledge-based economy, some museums in Taiwan start to apply the knowledge management techniques to its management and operation. Although the theory of knowledge management is borrowed from the knowledge of business, the idea and conception about “knowledge” in museums are different from those in business. Therefore, the problems they have encountered are also quite different. The study intends to investigate the application of knowledge management in two museums in Taiwan, National Museum of History, and National Museum of Natural Science. The study shows that the lack of communication and insufficient knowledge about knowledge management are the major factors that leads to the practice failure of knowledge management. To solve the two problems, the study offers a few suggestions, and hope to outline a model of knowledge management for the reference of the museums in Taiwan.

In the first part of this dissertation, the perspectives of the future, I present the orientation of future business world that will be a customer satisfaction era. I argue that an enterprise would benefit from the global competitiveness “customer satisfaction”. In the second part of this dissertation, customer satisfaction development, I present theoretical models for the relationships between employee satisfaction, external customer satisfaction, revenue enhancement and profitability. I also offer practical developing and managing suggestions for an enterprise in achieving internal employee satisfaction as well as external customer satisfaction. This dissertation addressed the components of both internal customer satisfaction and external customer satisfaction. The categories of external customer satisfaction include: strategic intelligence system, total quality management, service determinant’s management, and corporate image. The categories of internal customer satisfaction include: customer satisfaction oriented corporate mission and far-sighted vision, obsessive leadership, customer satisfaction corporate culture, and customer satisfaction human resource management and development scheme. The highly satisfied employees are the keystones of external customer satisfaction. The customer dissatisfaction is an enterprise’s crisis as well as opportunity. In the third part of this dissertation, I discuss the variables to customer dissatisfaction and provide practical suggestions for mitigating the potential dissatisfaction. An enterprise’s effective and sincere reactions might transform customer dissatisfaction into customer satisfaction. Therefore, the measuring customer satisfaction performance activities and strategic intelligence system might play an important role for an enterprise’s continuous improvement. Customer satisfaction management and development plays a significant role for the improvement of auto industry. The final part of this paper presents customer satisfaction management, development and application in the auto industry as the best practice model. Besides the efforts of private sector business, the public administration/government may also benefit from total satisfaction management and development actively for improving national competitiveness in the face of global competition. I present it in the extention part.

Vertical handoff is one of the most challenging issues in heterogeneous network environments. There are many researches on this issue, but they still have some drawbacks such as low efficiency of utilization of the wireless network resources and can not satisfy each application’s requirements. This paper proposes a mechanism that takes each application into consideration. Every application can choose its own network interfaces by its requirements. The proposed scheme has the advantages of satisfying all the applications requests and simultaneously uses multiple interfaces to increase the utilization of interfaces. We measure the performance of applications under different networks to see if the network is suitable for the application.

Mestrado de dupla diplomação com a Université Libre de TunisNowadays, technology plays an important role in people’s life. It has shown us that it could considerably facilitate our lives and help us with our tasks and interactions. In the academic sector, some individuals will have a greater charge of creating and organizing social interactions, this is the case of the director of a master course. Indeed his position requires constantly creating and managing gatherings such as meetings, jury meetings and events. That is the reason of creating this platform. The main goal was to simplify intercommunication. Through this solution, master director can now easily access and manage their schedules and appointments according to their calendars, generate postmeeting documents directly from the platform, thus avoiding waste of time, energy and the risk of having the information incorrectly transmitted. The solution also allows the director to monitor at any time the people involved in his master course, such as students and professors and to consult their specific informations such as their curricular units, their level and even their thesis subject titles. This solution aims at being an all-purpose tool to organize, simplify and expand the Master director’s management process.

Fleet management is not difficult if your company only has five to ten vehicles. But if there
are thousands of vehicles, then you need a fleet management system, or you will be
overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work for you.
With the help of a fleet management system, you can monitor any vehicle in real-time. You
can find out whether the customer has received the item they purchased by or is on the way.
You can also know whether your driver is working or just idling by.
Without a vehicle management system, you only rely on the trust you have between you and
your drivers. And more often than not, your trust is betrayed by your drivers.
With a vehicle management system, routine service schedules information can be obtained
anytime and anywhere. You only have to enter the required data into the system and it will
arrange the schedule.
Fleet management certainly involves drivers. The involvement starts with determining work
schedules and reporting. Staff who arrive late at the office will certainly affect your customer
satisfaction because the delivery will definitely be delayed.
The fleet management system will eliminate these things. The system will automatically
inform the driver of their work schedule so he/she can come to work on time.
A fleet management a website and a Android mobile application to facilitate the in-house
management, viewing options and communications for the associated employees. In this
project, an iOS mobile application is needed to manage the driver, vehicle and
intercommunication of drivers. The application then further provides the functionalities for
driver to view and track the Alarms, Events and other vehicle based on the geo location of the
vehicle. Furthermore, it provides the facility for management to keep track of all the vehicles
and their trips which helps to analyze the data. This report covers the development of the project
of Fleet Management application.
Many companies want to stay small and keep their contracts manageable, and they’re happy
with a few cars or trucks. Even so, they would still like to do more business. The Fleet
Management application has been designed to provide solutions that will help them function more efficiently. A company can greatly increase its profits for relatively low investment in
these solutions.
Whether large or small, any business can find a fleet management software product on the
market that meets its needs.
We all know that it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the future. Generally, there are so
many different variables to consider, many of them very difficult to predict, that make the
whole exercise quite complex.
Predicting the future of fleet management is this type of exercise. If you think someone in the
world already knows how it will be, think twice. From truck manufacturers to telematics
companies, from large technology companies to fleet managers with 30 years of experience,
nobody knows for sure.
we added some cutting-edge technologies to this Fleet Management system. With that in mind,
we are in fact proposing a new future for fleet management. Or, at least, contributing to it.

Because of the integration of the information technology, educational environment has become more and more multiplied. Through the convenience of the networks, the communicating medium between teachers and students has also become two-way interactive model from the original one-way conveying model. Thus, no matter the purpose is on the network education or the communication between each other, “Education Blogs” has eventually become the imperative platform for teachers, students, and the parents. Not only setting the web page for a class helps the school convey the information and the announcement, but also does it achieve a marked effect within teachers, students, and the parents. The researcher found that whether the class web page can be promoted depend on the internet platform is friendly or not. According to the reference, the web page is almost one-way information conveying oriented and has less interaction with the users. Furthermore, the unfamiliarness to the web page editing software and the deficiency of software for designing internet pages are the reasons that hold back the teachers to set up a class internet page. In the age of Web 2.0, the rise of a blog becomes the most important characteristic. It emphasizes user-centered trait, in other word, the users can surf the web pages as ones pleases. In order to create a best two-way communicating model, teachers can use the blog as an educational platform to make their pedagogic career get half the results with twice the effort. The study aimed at solving the difficulties of managing a class blog for a teacher by operating a managing platform with the characteristics of Web 2.0. And the purpose of this research can be separated as three parts: First, to discuss and induce the meaning of classroom management so as to generalize classroom management strategies. Second, the purpose is to analyze the content of the class blog at intermediate information seed schools in Taipei County. The researcher will use questionnaires to examine the required items of a class web page to facilitate the connotative items for a class web page. And third, the researcher will adopt the pedagogic systemized model to reconstruct the managing platform for classroom management, assess the practicalness of the managing platform, and make progress on the development. By so doing, this can reduce the teachers’ stress from designing the class blog, and advance the effectiveness of the classroom management.

M.Com. (Business Management)Data and the use thereof, is considered to be a source of competitive advantage for organisations. In order to achieve this it needs to be managed appropriately, and existing literature considers enterprise information management (EIM) to be the foundation for organisations to manage information successfully. (For the purposes of this dissertation, data and information will be treated as analogous concepts.) Key contributing factors to the success of EIM have been identified as ensuring data governance is in place, and that there is a focus on data quality. Within EIM, a key set of data that must be managed effectively is customer data. In many organisations – including the financial services organisation that is the focus of this study – customer data is held in disparate systems across the organisation. Creating a single view of how customers interact with an organisation is deemed of crucial importance for future organisational growth, and the initiatives that organisations undertake to create this view is referred to in the literature as customer data integration (CDI). In order for CDI to be successful, master data management (MDM) needs to be addressed; this will ensure that core data is managed consistently across the disparate systems. This study sought to determine how the concepts of EIM, CDI and MDM were being applied in the organisation under review, and how closely this application matched the recommendations of the literature. In addition, the study sought to uncover additional factors that had an impact on customer data integration, and information management in general, in the organisation. What was found is that in the organisation in question, how information management is being addressed is consistent with the literature in some areas – primarily the importance of a single view of customer and the supporting roles of information governance and data quality – but divergent in others, the key area being that there is no EIM strategy in the organisation that drives a consolidated approach to information management. Organisational culture was also highlighted by the literature as being a critical influencer on how information is managed, and this was supported by the findings. Additional factors that were found to have a significant influence on data management – which were not highlighted by the literature – included the importance of processes, and especially for CDI the critical role played by legislation, in particular the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA). An additional crucial factor, again not highlighted by the literature, is the difficulty organisations have in placing an actual financial value on the use of information. Although intrinsically it is understood that information is valuable, the difficulty in ascribing an explicit value to it is a key inhibitor (in conjunction with organisational culture), to the organisation initiating data management projects at a strategic level, and instead having to address data management as a component of projects driven by individual business units.

Application of Knowledge Management on Performance Appraisal and Management System Abstract The goal of competitive strategy is to create competitive advantages and gain the maximum value. On the other hand, competitive advantage lies in differentiation which originates from exclusive “core competence and resource”. In fact, what so called “core competence and resource” tightly relates to “knowledge” because to compare with other resource, knowledge has the characteristics of being “scarce”, “difficult to imitate” “unable to copy”, and “granted with exclusive rights” (Hsu Shihchun, 2000) and these are the essential elements for a company to remain its competitive advantages. Thus, Knowledge Management (KM) determines powerfully the survival of a company. In terms of business management, the ultimate goal of Performance Management System is to enhance organization efficiency which is built on the integration and improvement of business operation. It is also an important system aiming for improving or strengthening the system of “core competence and resource” building. This coincides with the nature of knowledge management and benefits each other. Management activities such as production, marketing, R&D, accounting, purchasing, and human resource tie with “the import , capture , retrieval , access , use , sharing , creation of knowledge” and this evidently indicates the popularity and long existence of KM activities. This study attempted to use KM Process as the base to construct a case study model with theoretical and practical application through the application demand of Knowledge Technology (KT). Before constructing the model, this study first reviewed the previous literature and understood the definition of KM and Performance Appraisal and Management. With the help of diagnosis tool, Six Box Model (Weisbord, 1976), we improved the study model of Knowledge Based Performance Appraisal and Management System (KBPAMS). Meanwhile, we adopted dimensional elements to compile an ideal “Study Form for KBPAMS.” We also selected certain companies as the cases to examine the existing system and conducted one by one in-depth interviews with employees of chosen companies. Due to the limitations on study time and human resources, random sampling as well as convenience sampling were excluded; purposive sampling was chosen to understand the actual demand and opinions of workers. Next, Flow Chart and handling description were two methods of presentation to construct a simple “KBPAMS” case study model as the reference for future establishment of information system. In the end, we used the improvement of the “KBPAMS” case study model. To analyze the six dimensional elements of the “KBPAMS” and studied it by open-system-view. Four suggestions were offered for conclusion as follows: 1.Returning to the humanity; 2.Integrating business culture and creating business characteristics; 3.long-term Investing on KBPAMS; 4.Gaining full-support from the top-manager.

Today cancer is the first leading cause of death in Taiwan. It is a disease that can seriously jeopardize health condition. The risk of cancer treatment will cause suffering physically and mentally. Patients may even feel anxious and stressed before treatment because of those risky events. In result, the quality of life will be significantly affected. The Health Promotion Administration of Ministry of Health and Welfare has set the standard protocol to improve the quality of cancer treatment in cancer care and treatment. However, the risk management is not protocolized in cancer patient care. In ISO 31000 (International Organization for Standardization, ISO), risk management was one of it’s recommended standard. Risk management can help the organization to improve care quality and efficiency; It should be utilized into cancer patient care. Therefore, this study was raised to set a standard of risk management in cancer patient care. It will explore the rules and procedures of cancer case managers and try to find out the inadequacies of current protocols. The goal is to bring the cancer care quality to a better level through ISO 31000 international risk management standard. The study was begin from literature and ISO 31000 standard review. Through the review, a risk management draft of cancer case manager for cancer care can be built and a questionnaire can be generated. The questionnaire was structured. The Likert scale and Modified Delphi Method was used. A survey was carried by posting questionnaire to specialist. Finally, with the result of survey, a protocol of risk management can be formulated. It will be further verified in clinical practice. After verification, the risk management protocol can be incorporated in daily work of cancer case manager. With treatment-related risk can be reduced, the quality of cancer patient will be greatly improved.

In today’s challenging business environments, competitive advantage is of utmost
importance for organizations and there is a raising demand for profitable solutions that
allow organizations to gain competitive advantage. Two of such profitable solutions are
Project Management (PM) and Lean Thinking, recognized methodologies for
management and production processes. This dissertation proposes a framework to
accelerate the performance of projects through PM practices and lean principles.
To develop the framework, Project Management Officers (PMOs) of renowned
Portuguese companies are interviewed. In the first Stage, interviews are conducted aiming
to identify key pain points in PM. Resulting from the first set of interviews, lean principles
are applied to PM to remedy the identified pain points and develop a Lean Project
Management Framework. The interviews identify the most critical knowledge areas in
terms of pain points as Human Resources, Scope, and Procurement Management.
In the second stage, experts’ feedback is used to validate the developed framework on
four pillars: degree of understanding, alignment towards the major pain points, practical
applicability, and orientation towards the final result. All the respondents conceded that
the newly developed framework considered the major pain points and was oriented
towards the final result, projects success. Nevertheless, some respondents considered that
up-front lean knowledge is needed and suggested the development of a framework
dictionary to improve understanding and practical applicability.
The findings show that the use of traditional lean tools adapted to the PM context can
aid in the continuous improvement of processes and practices by conferring role clarity,
transparency, and reducing bottlenecks. The Lean Project Management Framework
provides a viable approach to overcome the shortcomings of traditional PM practices.Nos desafiantes ambientes de negócio atuais, a vantagem competitiva é essencial para as organizações, havendo uma constante necessidade de encontrar soluções que permitam às organizações obter vantagem competitiva. A Gestão de Projetos e o pensamento Lean são duas destas soluções, reconhecidas nas vertentes de gestão e de ambiente de produção. Esta dissertação propõe um modelo para alavancar o desempenho dos projetos através de práticas de Gestão de Projetos e princípios Lean. Para desenvolver o modelo, são entrevistados PMOs ("Project Management Officers") de empresas portuguesas reconhecidas. Numa primeira fase, as entrevistas visam identificar as principais dificuldades na gestão de projetos. Como resultado destas entrevistas, os princípios lean são aplicados à gestão de projetos para mitigar as dificuldades identificadas e desenvolver um modelo lean de gestão de projetos. As entrevistas identificaram as áreas de conhecimento de Recursos Humanos, Âmbito e Contratação, como as mais criticas em termos de dificuldades. Na segunda fase, a opinião de peritos é utilizada para validar o modelo em quatro pilares: nível de compreensão, principais dificuldades, aplicação prática e orientação ao resultado final. Todos os entrevistados concordaram que o modelo considera as principais dificuldades de gestão de projetos e tem orientação ao resultado final, o sucesso dos projetos. Contudo, alguns entrevistados consideram necessário haver conhecimentos prévios de princípios lean e sugerem o desenvolvimento de um dicionário para o modelo, para melhorar a sua compreensão e aplicação prática. Este estudo demonstra que o uso das ferramentas lean tradicionais adaptadas ao contexto de projetos pode auxiliar na melhoria continua de processos e práticas, conferindo clareza, transparência e reduzindo constrangimentos. O modelo lean de gestão de projetos - "Lean Project Management Framework" - fornece uma abordagem viável para superar as deficiências das práticas tradicionais de gestão de projetos.

Today’s software industry has been seeing the rapid development in recent decade with robust progress of national economy. Along with the constant developing of information technology, IT has been paid more and more enterprise’s attention. It is so exciting to find that a large number of IT projects in China have launched the implementation, but the actual results are often unsatisfactory. China’s 2006 statistics show that less than 48%of IT projects get success. Now, due to fast change on technology, competitions among enterprises grow more and more. With increasing scope and complexity, software projects are often dogged by not meeting customer real needs, huge cost overrun, or delay. How to control efficiently risks occurred during projects is now a major task for most software enterprises. Risk management is an important part of project management, which includes 9 knowledge areas. Through scientific and efficient risk management on software projects, potential risks can be identified clearly and applicable preventative actions will take accordingly. Therefore, risks can be prevented in advance or impacts on the project can be relieved in a certain degree. It's an efficient tool for enterprise to improve project efficiency, monitor project progress and control project costs. The basic theory for software project risk management was studied in this article, including risk identification, risk analysis, risk control planning, risk tracking, and risk response and control. The related concepts, methodology and processes for software project risk management were introduced. Then a case, Beijing Mobile Payment Platform System, was taken and the project status was analyzed. Detailed risk factors, which may impact on implementation of the project, were identified and analyzed one by one. Corresponding preventative action plan were made accordingly. Risk management was regarded as an efficient tool applied in the whole process during implementation of the software project management. It made the project achieved its scheduled targets successfully and made the project ended completely. Finally, study on risk management in this article was summarized and prospect for further development was also viewed.

In the recent years, influenced by the variations of the international environment, domestic enterprises cannot surpass in cost and quality anymore. In replacement, it’s “Speed” that turns to be the trend of new competition ability. Most present Product Data management systems ordinarily input files and data through known procedures to be automated. This method cannot satisfy the demands for production information in precision, clearness and customization. Consequently, only by using product structure oriented Product Data management to realize the ideal of Common Database and Concurrent Engineering can enterprises accelerate the speed of new product appearances on market. Therefore, this thesis advocates a system model of “Application of Product Development Management System in analog ICs Design Industry”. By using corresponding program techniques of internet, global information network and circuit simulation, aiming at the possible problems resulting from R&D process and the compatibility of customer products, etc. adding the system model in Product Development Management to reduce the rate of correction after the product design and production in order to meet customers’ demands. The Results of this study are： （1）The participating teams of strategic alliance can develop product with integrated enterprise subject to the respective product characteristics.（2） Provide Valatie information of product life cycle for customers to develop connected products.（3）Through the function of circuit simulation, the model can verify with customers’ product instantly to save time and cost and upgrade(increase) the design efficiency & quality.（4）Help customers to use new analog ICs products by building up learning courses.（5）Forecast customers’ demands and development trend and strengthen the communication with remote customers to create good customer relationship, get products into the international market easier and enhance competition ability. Therefore, for analog ICs design industry, different from the traditional way that reaches the product stability through long period of product testing after the product design, this customer communication & product simulation interface advocated in this thesis can carry out a better product quality, shorten product R&D period and eventually strengthen the competition ability.

To bridge the performance gap between disks and microprocessors, conventional operating systems employed memory cache in file systems and virtual memory management systems. However, since the system kernels do not know applications'' access patterns, the fixed memory-cache management scheme cannot meet all applications'' needs. Application performance and system throughout are thus degraded. This dissertation proposes a new virtual memory management system, the hipec system, to effectively increase the application performance and system throughout. Hipec partitions the conventional virtual memory management scheme into two levels: the kernel only handles the allocations of memory cache, while the user applications are responsible for managing the allocated cache. Hipec includes two major implementations. The first is the in-kernel strategy interpreter for supporting application-navigated virtual memory management. The strategy interpreter also protects the system from misbehaved or malicious applications. The second is the kernel page-frame allocation policy, which can fairly share page frames among all running applications. In addition, in order to help application designers to observe the application access patterns, two auxiliary tools are implemented. Application designers, therefore, can tune the caching strategies to meet applications'' specific needs. From empirical evaluations, hipec can improve the application performance and system throughput.
