Cho, Donghwan. "A Contingent Approach to Facilitating Conflict Resolution in Software Development Outsourcing Projects." Journal of Organizational and End User Computing 32, no. 2 (April 2020): 20–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.4018/joeuc.2020040102.
Full textAbstract:
With the wide spread of IT outsourcing, internal IT personnel have been required to change their roles from system development to organizational change agents such as securing software development outsourcing (SDO) success. Conflict resolution is critical to secure the SDO success, but the understanding of how IT personnel facilitate conflict resolution as change agents is limited. The purpose of this study is to understand the negative impact of conflicts on SDO outcomes and to investigate the moderating effect of IT personnel's conflict resolution facilitation (process facilitation, content facilitation) between conflicts and two SDO outcome dimensions (project efficiency and system effectiveness). In order to test the model, data was collected through a cross-sectional field survey using questionnaires, and a total of 144 SDO projects were used in the final analysis. Research results show that conflicts have a negative impact on both of the SDO outcome dimensions, and the effect of conflict resolution facilitation by IT personnel is contingent on the dimensions of SDO outcomes.

In modern conditions, the traditional manual manner of working with documents in business is replaced gradually by the most rational methods of conducting digital office using a personal computer. Nowadays in the software market there is a wide enough choice of various programs for personnel records management at the company. However, the best properly choice often has difficulties connected with the juridical status of the real consumer of the software, the purpose of its activities, computer literacy of workers and the current experience of using a particular software package. The relevance of the problem is due to the fact that the state character of the work and the specific legal framework of the state institution differ significantly from the one of doing business by commercial (private) enterprises, on which are mainly focused the majority of the human resources software applications. The situation of the issue of electronic personnel records management in state institutions was analyzed on the pat-tern of experience with personnel documentation established in the State Committee on Price Policy of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The main aspects of the paperless office work was studied, covering a variety of procedures and routine works with documents, as well as the software itself for dealing with documents of the personnel database of the institution. The article presents the results of studying indicators of electronic document administration and comparative analysis of options for professional personnel management programs. It was noted that at the moment the level of electronic personnel records management in the state institution does not yet fully meet the requirements of modern digital personnel documents management. It was concluded that the destination of further improving the activity of the state institution and raising work on personnel records administration and HR management to a higher level could be solved only if the digital document system for personnel records and accounting will be applied with an operatively updated package of legislative and regulatory framework.

Full textAbstract:
With increasing demands on software functions, software systems become more and more complex. This complexity is one of the most pervasive factors affecting software development productivity. Assessing the impact of software complexity on development productivity helps to provide effective strategies for development process and project management. Previous research literatures have suggested that development productivity declines exponentially with software complexity. Borrowing insights from cognitive learning psychology and behavior theory, the relationship between software complexity and development productivity was reexamined in this paper. This research identified that the relationship partially showed a U-shaped as well as an inverted U-shaped curvilinear tendency. Furthermore, the range of complexity level that is beneficial for productivity has been presented, in which, the lower bound denotes the minimum degree of complexity at which personnel can be motivated, while the upper bound shows the maximum extent of complexity that staff can endure. Based on our findings, some guidelines for improving personnel management of software industry have also been given.

Full textAbstract:
Bridge component inspection and repair information has been traditionally collected on paper forms by field personnel and stored in project files. Because of the industrywide use of computer-aided design and drafting technology in bridge rehabilitation design, digital information for bridge components is often available as a by-product of the design process. In addition, projects are becoming more sophisticated and, as a result, the construction field office is becoming more automated. It is now possible to automate field data collection and management procedures so that information can be captured in a digital format in the field and used throughout the construction documentation process. The available technology includes pen-based computers, pen-enabled database software, and digital color cameras, all of which can be integrated into systems that are easily used by field inspection personnel. By using databases and geographic information systems, inspectors and engineers can readily review component information and track the progress of repairs for large-scale rehabilitation projects.

Full textAbstract:
The study sought to examine factors affecting utilization of Computer Based Internet Technologies (CBIT) by extension personnel in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Relevant data were obtained from 180 respondents, while data analyses were achieved with the aid of descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Findings showed that 57.8 % of the respondents were male, 91.7% were married, with a mean age of 43years, while 62.8% respondents had no formal computer training. It was also revealed that, of the nine surveyed CBIT facilities and applications, only mobile phones were highly utilized, while I-pads/laptops and YouTube were the least utilized. It was also revealed that 62.8% respondents indicated that they had a low level of CBIT utilization, while level of CBIT utilisation was found to be influenced by financial, training, policy/personal barriers, social, technical and management factors. Results of tested hypotheses revealed that CBIT utilisation was not influenced by respondents’ personal characteristics, and no significant difference was observed in terms of level of CBIT utilization between field extension personnel (FEP) and supervisory extension personnel (SEP). It was concluded that extension personnel are constrained from using CBIT due to the prohibitive cost of CBIT software and maintenance, inappropriate infrastructure and lack of access to training opportunities. It is recommended, among others, that policy makers should facilitate the evolution of appropriate CBIT policies to enhance access to appropriate tools by extension personnel.

Full textAbstract:
At present, the economics and social developments show the characteristics of diversification, and the focus of social enterprise management is driven by the allocation of human resources. Human resource allocation is a way of appropriate allocation and reasonable placement of human resources. It means that, under the guidance of science, human resources can maintain the best combination with other resources at any time. Nevertheless, the irregularities in management teams and the balanced differences of talent quality have a great effect on the balanced development of an enterprise. Based on this, this paper studies the establishment of a recurrent neural network (RNN) model to realize the allocation of human resources and the balanced development of enterprise management. Firstly, a deep learning model, based on the recurrent neural network, is established. Then, the human resources data is analyzed to calculate the matching degree between the human resources and posts. Finally, personnel scheduling is carried out according to the matching degree score between the human resources and posts, to obtain the optimal balanced allocation result of the human resources. Experimental results show that our method can bring significant improvements to personnel position matching and effectively enhance the efficiency of human resource allocation based on the cloud environment.

AbstractObjectiveWe developed and validated a user-centered information system to support the local planning of public health continuity of operations for the Community Health Services Division, Public Health - Seattle & King County, Washington.MethodsThe Continuity of Operations Data Analysis (CODA) system was designed as a prototype developed using requirements identified through participatory design. CODA uses open-source software that links personnel contact and licensing information with needed skills and clinic locations for 821 employees at 14 public health clinics in Seattle and King County. Using a web-based interface, CODA can visualize locations of personnel in relationship to clinics to assist clinic managers in allocating public health personnel and resources under dynamic conditions.ResultsBased on user input, the CODA prototype was designed as a low-cost, user-friendly system to inventory and manage public health resources. In emergency conditions, the system can run on a stand-alone battery-powered laptop computer. A formative evaluation by managers of multiple public health centers confirmed the prototype design's usefulness. Emergency management administrators also provided positive feedback about the system during a separate demonstration.ConclusionsValidation of the CODA information design prototype by public health managers and emergency management administrators demonstrates the potential usefulness of building a resource management system using open-source technologies and participatory design principles.(Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2013;0:1–7)

This study examines mission statements and management effectiveness in “first generation” insurance companies in Nigeria. Content analysis method has been applied with the mission statements and data collected from annual reports (2013-2018) of six insurance companies. In terms of the data analysis, Pearson correlation and descriptive statistics have been employed. The results suggest that the mission statements’ components including the product/service, growth orientation, competences, public image and personnel are crucial for management effectiveness proxied by two ratios of return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA). The study, therefore, recommends that businesses must include in their mission statements, product/service, growth orientation, competences, public image and personnel mission statement components. The study drawback is the small sample size. The study has also proposed area for further research and managerial implications.

Extension personnel and growers need up-to-date information on crops to make sound management decisions. The Farmer's Bookshelf™, a hypermedia information system based on the software HyperCard®, was developed for Macintosh® computers. Since clientele who use IBM-compatible computers could not use the Macintosh version of the Farmer's Bookshelf, we looked into several DOS/Windows™ hypermedia software. Spinnaker PLUS™ (Spinnaker Software Corp.) suited our needs, primarily because it required a minimum of reprogramming. PLUS (Macintosh) converted HyperCard files into PLUS (Macintosh) files. Some programming, fonts, and icons required modifications. PLUS (Macintosh) files were then edited using PLUS (widows). Again, minor editing was necessary. Currently, the PLUS (Windows) files and a runtime version of PLUS (Windows) are distributed to clientele who use IBM-compatible computers. PLUS enables our supporting the Fanner's Bookshelf without having to develop a DOS or Windows version that requires completely new programming and extensive modifications. HyperCard files are readily converted to run under Windows, thus helping us to serve clientele who use either platform.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an eight-step procedure – transaction formalism protocol (TFP) – in the area of infrastructure management. The proposed TFP is developed from two perspectives: TFP Specification (conceptual) and TFP Tool (application). This paper introduces the TFP Specification and discusses the TFP Tool in detail. Design/methodology/approach To develop the proposed TFP Tool, a five-step methodology was used: identify and select existing standards, benchmark standards, link and build on these standards, develop the proposed TFP Tool and validate the protocol. Findings The TFP Specification defines each step as a function for which inputs, controls, mechanisms, tools/techniques and outputs are specified. The TFP Tool comprises a set of forms and guidance that the transaction development personnel, including transaction analysts, transaction designers, software developers, process modellers and industry experts, will use to define transactions in infrastructure management domain. Practical implications The proposed TFP Tool enables transaction development personnel to define transactions effectively and efficiently for information and communication technology (ICT)-based solutions through defining information in a structured, consistent and easy way. Originality/value The TFP Tool was built on existing standards incorporating their shortcomings, including lack of a step-by-step procedure to help guide the personnel what to do next, lack of transaction monitoring and improvement steps and lack of standardised forms to collect information in a prescribed format for implementation in ICT-based collaboration systems. The proposed Tool was evaluated and found to be feasible, usable and useful.

Full textAbstract:
This paperpresents the findings of research into the impact of computer aided software engineering (CASE) tools. It is based on a questionnaire survey of software developers in UK organizations. CASE had a positive effect on developer productivity and the quality of applications software. It particularly improved the reliability and accuracy of applications software, though this was sometimes offset by a deterioration in software efficiency. There was little evidence of productivity being ‘traded’ for quality, since developers citing productivity gains also tended to report quality improvements. The extent to which organizations were able to realize the benefits of CASE depended on the experience, competence and training of individual developers. This has significant implications for the selection and training of personnel and the use of consultants. Methodologically, the findings also serve to underline the importance of explicitly taking account of prior development environments, when using retrospective methods to evaluate different software technologies.

Nowadays, as the digital era proliferates, there are a number of traffic violation detection systems built using hardware and software to detect violation of traffic rules. This article proposes an integrated method for traffic analysis by detecting vehicles in the video and tracking their motion for multiple violation detection. The purpose of this integrated system is to provide a method to identify different types of traffic violations and to reduce the number of systems used to record violations. This method receives input from traffic surveillance camera and uses DNN to classify the vehicles to reduce the number of personnel needed to do this manually. The authors have implemented modules which are used to track vehicles and detect violations such as line crossing, lane changing, signal jumping, over-speeding and find illegally parked vehicles. The main purpose of this project is to convert manual traffic analysis into a smart traffic management system.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a step-by-step procedure, referred to as transaction formalism protocol (TFP) that the transaction development personnel will use to formalise transactions (communications) in the domain of infrastructure management. The protocol is developed at two levels of abstraction: TFP specification and TFP tool. This paper presents the TFP specification in detail and introduces the TFP tool briefly. The specific focus of this paper is on the development process of the protocol specification. Design/methodology/approach – A four-step approach is used to develop the TFP; including, identify and select existing standards, benchmark standards, link and build on these standards, and develop TFP. To develop the protocol, the function modelling standard, integration definition function modelling (IDEF0) is used. The IDEF0 treats each step of the protocol as a function. Findings – The TFP specification and TFP tool are developed using the proposed methodology. The TFP specification specifies inputs, controls, mechanisms, tools/techniques, and outputs required in each step, whereas the TFP tool defines forms for each step of the protocol that the transaction development personnel will use to define transactions in the domain of infrastructure management. Practical implications – The development of the TFP would enable the transaction development personnel (including transaction analysts, transaction designers, software developers, process modellers, and industry experts) to formalise transactions effectively and efficiently for the development of ICT-based collaboration systems. Originality/value – The proposed protocol incorporates shortcomings of existing standards. In contrast to other design standards that focus on either design or design cum implementation of the work processes and communications, the proposed TFP includes transaction monitoring and improvements in addition to the design and implementation of communications. Unlike other standards, the TFP is a detailed step-by-step procedure to ease its usability and understandability.

BackgroundUnusual biological events (UBEs) pose a distinct challenge for emergency preparedness. Not only are these events rare and difficult to detect, but they also pose clear hazards for both medical personnel and their families. Distinct skills include identifying UBEs and activating institutional and national response. Staff attendance and confidence in the health system play a vital role in effective management of UBEs. The Israeli Ministry of health conducts yearly drills on the personal, institutional, and national response to UBEs.AimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various educational tools and personnel characteristics on personnel skills, views, and compliance to participate in the management of UBEs.MethodsAs part of the preparations for an institutional drill in the Tel Aviv Medical Center, several educational methods were employed. These included e-mail notifications, computer-based self learning, publication of an institutional protocol, tabletop drills, personal briefings, and finally, a large scale exercise. Questionnaires regarding personnel characteristics, participation in pre-drill education, personal views, compliance, and familiarity of institutional protocols and selected diseases were distributed.ResultsAge, family status, and years of experience had no significant influence on personal views. Confidence in the health system increased with experience. Intensity of training had significant positive effect on personal confidence and compliance to attend work during a UBE, however it did not appear to significantly influence personal views or medical knowledge.ConclusionsComprehensive education and exercise of personnel is beneficial effect in terms of personal confidence and work attendance during UBEs. Specific educational tools, such as self-learning software, increase proficiency.

Full textAbstract:
The demand for complex and large-scale software systems is increasing rapidly. Therefore, the development of high-quality, reliable and low cost computer software has become critical issue in the enormous worldwide computer technology market. For developing these large and complex software small and independent modules are integrated which are tested independently during module testing phase of software development. In the process, testing resources such as time, testing personnel etc. are used. These resources are not infinitely large. Consequently, it is an important matter for the project manager to allocate these limited resources among the modules optimally during the testing process. Another major concern in software development is the cost. It is in fact, profit to the management if the cost of the software is less while meeting the costumer requirements. In this paper, we investigate an optimal resource allocation problem of minimizing the cost of software testing under limited amount of available resources, given a reliability constraint. To solve the optimization problem we present genetic algorithm which stands up as a powerful tool for solving search and optimization problems. The key objective of using genetic algorithm in the field of software reliability is its capability to give optimal results through learning from historical data. One numerical example has been discussed to illustrate the applicability of the approach.

Objective: Computer simulation models allow users to analyze problems and identify improvements. Human performance models (HPMs) are a type of computer simulation model that is used to study and evaluate complex operations involving humans completing tasks. This article describes the advantages that HPMs can have for those involved in emergency management.Design: IMPRINT Pro is an HPM software tool developed by the US Army Research Laboratory. It is a stochastic discrete-event network modeling tool. The modeling process includes defining tasks to be completed, the personnel responsible for performing the task, the success probability for each task and the operation as a whole, resource availability and limitations, and other features to evaluate scenarios. The results include easy-to-use task network diagrams and corresponding performance metrics. The models can be used as a preplanning and training tool to improve an organization’s performance.Setting: To demonstrate the benefits of simulation modeling for emergency management, a case study of a combined anthrax and bomb threat made at a university is presented. Data from first responders including police and fire departments and the procedures used are modeled.Results: The case study shows the complexity of many emergency management situations. Human performance modeling is a powerful tool that can provide insight to different possibilities in these complex situations and can predict outcomes without having to go through an actual emergency event or costly drills. Computer modeling saves money, time, and efforts for emergency managers and responders. These models serve as useful training and evaluation tools.

This paper describes an application of telepresence technology to the incident management domain. The system combines national guidelines for incident management with many aspects of collaborative virtual environments to enable effective communication between first responders in the field and remotely located command personnel. A brief overview of existing incident management systems is given, followed by a set of requirements for future systems. We then describe our virtual incident command center (VICC) prototype, explain how it addresses the requirements, and outline our future plans. Finally, we report feedback from ongoing demonstrations of the prototype system that supports our contention that VICC represents a unique solution to the incident management problem.

Full textAbstract:
Control of the radiation safety of workers is the one of the principal tasks of regulatory bodies responsible for the radiation safety and protection. This task is solved through the implementation of a set of organizational and technical measures, including:1) Organization and the execution of radiation monitoring; 2) Prediction of exposure doses to workers; 3) Selection of workers for the execution of radiation hazardous operations including emergency remedial works; 4) Planning of activities to implement the principle of the optimization of radiation protection; 6) Development and establishment of reference levels of exposure to radiation factors; 5) Organization of education and training of the personnel; 7) Continuous improvement of the occupational safety culture etc. The paper describes main actions of the management of radiation facilities aimed at the implementation of the above mentioned measures. Special attention is paid to the selection of the personnel of the required qualifications, possessing a sufficient reserve of an individual dose, to carry out radiation hazardous operations, to predict radiation doses to justify the development of the necessary protective measures and to plan actions to implement the principle of optimization of the radiation protection. The active use of the computer information and analytical system for the management of the protection from the occupational radiation is recommended. This system should include: 1. Database of individual occupational doses; 2. Database of radiation parameters characterizing the situation in workshops and at the industrial site of the radiation facility; 3. Software package for education and training of the personnel. The making of managerial decisions for the radiation protection of the personnel is aimed at increasing in the occupational reliability and, ultimately, improving the safety of radiation facilities, maintaining health and increasing the professional longevity of workers.

Full textAbstract:
Specialised knowledge is a key component of success in an organisational context that resides in the expertise of the organisation's personnel. To explore this situation, an ethnographic case study was chosen in which data was collected from a software development project. Extempore verbal exchanges occur through the interplay of project team members in weekly meetings, as the software was tested, analyzed, and altered in accordance with the customer's needs. Utilizing tacit knowledge from the project members as well as the group, new tacit knowledge surfaces and spirals, which allows it to build over time. Five extempore triggers surfaced during the research generated through explicit stimuli, allowing project members to share and create new knowledge. Through the use of ideas developed by Husserl and Heidegger, this study has cast some light on verbal exchanges that, through their interjection, allow significant learning to take place. The theoretical development places these learning triggers in an interpretive framework, which can add value to other software development projects.

Turnover of the personnel represents a serious issue for management of software projects. The buildup of competences and phasing in of the people into the project requires both time and effort. This paper presents a case study of a large in-house agile software development project. The research goal was to determine the effects that turnover has on the expert effort estimation. In order to do this, paper examines relations across empirical data on a studied project. Study findings are the following: a) it is necessary to distinguish types of turnover, b) the general and planned turnover do not necessarily have a negative effect on estimation accuracy, and c) the unplanned turnover can have a significant negative impact on the reliability of the estimates and therefore should be treated with special attention. Results suggest that these facts should be taken into account both by the management and human resources.

The article includes modeling of the automated system of personnel time recording with further development and implementation of it in the educational institution. Practice shows that when using automated time recording, more effective personnel management occurs, employee discipline is increased, and the wage fund is saved on 5–15%. Personalized personnel identification methods have been identified; the selection of technical equipment and software for data collection is justified; A work time model has been developed; Software for employee identification, recording and recording of working hours has been developed and introduced. To do this, special access control equipment was installed on the passageway. Employees have special cards that allow them to easily overcome these devices. If there are several checkpoints in the territory, it is advisable to use a computer network to transfer data to the server, where all data about employees are stored. Based on such data, accurate reports of misconduct can be generated, as well as a time sheet. User identification is an integral and important element for any information system. The identification system is one of the key elements of the infrastructure for protection against unauthorized access. The task of identification and authorization systems is to determine and verify the set of authority of the subject when accessing the information system. A barcode can also act as a unique person identifier. Each employee is ssued a card with a unique bar code, this code is fixed to the person in the database. A barcode scanner is installed on each pass point. This model with a developed algorithm for identifying a person and fixing the passage of control was ntroduced at the Kherson Polytechnic Vocational College of Odessa Polytechnic State University.

Today information and communication technologies are used in most branches of human activity, including production, education, transport and personnel management, etc. One of the representatives of the software exists to fulfill the information needs of the users are information systems, the effectiveness of which directly depends on the completion and relevance of the information stored in them. They provide the usage of local or distributed databases for the storage and processing of the information in order to create an automated workplace for the employee and improve the efficiency of the company or institution. The article focuses on the notion of "information system", "automated workplace", are analyzed software products that allow to control the working time of the employees of the enterprise, are determined their advantages and main features. It is revealed that analyzed software differs in its functionality at the price, but they all allow management to increase the efficiency of the company by controlling the employees' working time. The article reports on the development of the information system for the analysis of the employees of the company, which in a certain way will allow to correct the personnel policy of the enterprise. The structure of the MySQL database, which is a part of the information system, describes the main modules of the electronic resource, gives a brief user's instruction. With the help of the information system, which operates in the administrator and user mode, you can enable / disable the employee's session, create employee’s tasks, monitor the process of their work, communicate through the built-in chat. Each employee can look at the number of hours he has made a job, change the status of the task or, in general, refuse it with an indication of the reason. As a tool for the development of the information system, the PHP 5.0 programming language and the MySQL 5.0 database management system were used. For the correct operation of the information system, an Apache web server version 1.3 must be installed. The system is unpretentious to the resources of the computer, has a simple and understandable interface. It can be installed on a local or remote server. The information system is in free access and is used with various forms of ownership. It can also be used by company employees to organize their own work in working time while creating software products on the principles of flexible software development methodology.

The current methods of training medical personnel to provide emergency medical care have several important shortcomings. For example, in the training of wound debridement techniques, animal models are used to gain experience treating traumatic injuries. We propose an alternative approach by creating a three-dimensional, interactive computer model of the human body that can be used within a virtual environment to learn and practice wound debridement techniques and Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) procedures. As a first step, we have developed a computer model that represents the anatomy and physiology of a normal and injured lower limb. When visualized and manipulated in a virtual environment, this computer model will reduce the need for animals in the training of trauma management and potentially provide a superior training experience. This article describes the development choices that were made in implementing the preliminary system and the challenges that must be met to create an effective medical training environment.

An equipment status management and maintenance platform of an intelligent substation monitoring and control system is built in the Tai-Tam substation of the Taipower company. The real-time operating status of the equipment, such as the server, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) human–machine interface (HMI) software, switches, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), merging units (MUs), as well as the entire SCADA system, are evaluated comprehensively. First, the status information of all equipment is collected, and the theory of relative deterioration degree (RDD) and fuzzy theory (FT) are applied to calculate the fuzzy evaluation matrix of the equipment influencing factors. Then, the subjective analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the objective entropy method for weighting are combined to calculate the comprehensive weights of the equipment influencing factors. Finally, the result of the equipment status evaluation is obtained using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method and is presented at the equipment status management and maintenance platform. Such equipment status evaluation results can be used by the inspection and maintenance personnel to determine the priority for equipment maintenance and repair. The result of this study may serve as a valuable reference to utility companies when making maintenance plans.

ABSTRACT Controls must be changed when information systems are modified. Audit, assurance, and quality-control (AAQC) personnel must evaluate the reliability of controls in the new system versions. Based on Bunge (1977, 1979) and Wand and Weber (1989a, 1990), we describe a model and search-space algorithm that AAQC personnel can use to determine where required control changes are likely to be located in the new system version, thereby mitigating the need for an exhaustive evaluation of all controls. To use the model and algorithm, AAQC personnel must have (1) accurate and complete requirements specifications for the old and new versions of the system, (2) a controls specification for the old version that covers all errors and irregularities that might occur, (3) evidence to conclude all controls for the old version are in place, adequate, and working, and (4) specifications for the new version expressed as a level structure of systems and subsystems.

The continuous financial pressure on hospitals forces them to rethink various workflows. We focus on optimizing hospital transports, within the hospital, as they count up to 30% of the overall hospital cost. In this paper, we discuss a self-learning platform that learns the causes of transport delays, in order to avoid these kinds of delays in the future. We pay special attention to the explainability of the self-learning system, such that management understands the learned causes and remains in control over the automated process. This is achieved by providing the learned causes as sentences that can be understood by non-technical personnel and allowing these causes to first be supervised before the system takes them into account. Once approved, the system will calculate how much more time should be assigned to these transports in order to avoid future delays. As a result, the scheduling of patient transportation can be automatically optimized, while management remains in full control of the process.

Full textAbstract:
Dr. J. K. Suresh, Vice President and Principal Knowledge Manager at Infosys Limited (Infosys), pondered a question that continually needed to be addressed, but never could be truly answered. For a number of years, he had been responsible for overseeing the internal knowledge management (KM) activities of the large, global IT-services company, headquartered in Bangalore, India. The existing system was widely recognized—in case studies, articles and books—for its excellence. But the company, whose revenues for FY 2013 were in excess of $7 billion, was evolving rapidly in its business model. What changes to the KM system, if any, would improve the company’s ability to move its services to the next level? The particular challenge of greatest long term interest was presented by the company’s Products, Platforms, and Solutions (PP&S) operations, seen by many at Infosys as being crucial to the firm’s long term prosperity. Margins on the offshoring of support and routine development activities—the business that had been the bread-and-butter of Infosys as it grew—were becoming narrower, squeezed both by increasing competition and by rising personnel costs in countries like India. An important remedy to this pressure was to develop software products that the company could sell to its customers as part of a larger package, building an asset category that did go home every night. For KM to benefit these PP&S activities, however, a substantially different focus would likely be required. Traditionally, KM at Infosys had been inward focus, facilitating the exchange of code and experience between the company’s employees, currently numbering over 150,000. Where KM could be of greatest help to PP&S, would be in looking outward—e.g., identifying market trends and desirable features, capturing customer experiences, developing sales strategies, finding market niches. Could a system that was designed principally for internal use later be modified for these purposes? Or would it make more sense to build a new system from the ground up? And what might such as system look like?

With the development and application of information technology, the digitization of information management and the virtualization of physical models have become very important technical application fields in the world. The establishment of the 3D landscape model and the realization of the 3D geographic information system (GIS) are based on this, and there is not only a wide range of development prospects in many aspects such as urban planning and management, planning and design, local government construction, housing industry development, land monitoring and management, and environmental monitoring and evaluation. There are not only research studies and formulations but also a practical significance in other analysis, evaluation, decision making, and other departments. In recent years, the research of 3D city modeling has been developed rapidly, and most of the existing 2D-GIS can be transformed into 3D visual landscape. Based on the three-dimensional geographic information system and desktop drawing software AutoCAD, this paper takes the two-dimensional line drawing (DLG) of a residential district as the base map, expounds the design process of the three-dimensional simulation model of the urban community from the aspects of map preprocessing, building simulation model construction, texture mapping, and virtual visualization, and discusses the problems encountered in it. The main contributions of this paper are that this technology puts forward a new solution for the integrated corridor operation and maintenance management, greatly improves the intelligent management level of the integrated corridor operation and maintenance work, and simplifies the complex integrated corridor operation and maintenance management. It is helpful to improve the work efficiency of operation and maintenance, reduce the dependence of personnel, and respond to the long-term construction needs of the smart city at the same time.

Full textAbstract:
For many companies, investment in information systems (IS) is one of the largest expenditures in the firm's capital budget. An important goal of ex ante investment evaluation of an information system is to reasonably determine the return on investment (ROI) of the proposed information system. However, past research has shown that business managers have significant concerns about the soundness of ex ante ROI evaluations of information systems. This relates to the fact that several benefits of an IS are intangible and nonfinancial. In addition, it has long been recognized that, unlike many other capital projects, IS projects exhibit significant contextual interaction. Further, different professionals such as accountants and Information Technology (IT) personnel often use different approaches to evaluate a potential information system. This study develops a framework and methodology that integrates and accommodates the different perspectives of IT personnel, accountants, and business managers. We propose a flexible ex ante framework and methodology that integrates systems analysis, accounting, and strategy (SAAS). The framework evaluates financial and nonfinancial factors and uses analyses that consider investment approaches used by both IT and accounting personnel. The framework is evaluated in two different organizations and recommendations are made for both future research in this area and for the applied use of the framework by professionals.
