Abstract:
In today’s world, information and the associated Information Technology are critical assets for many organizations. Any information security breach, or compromise of these assets, can lead to serious implications for organizations that are heavily dependent on these assets. For such organizations, information security becomes vital. Organizations deploy an information security infrastructure for protecting their information assets. This infrastructure consists of policies and controls. Organizations also create an information security management system for managing information security in the organization. While some of the policies and controls are of a purely technical nature, many depend upon the actions of end-users. However, end-users are known to exhibit both compliant and noncompliant behaviours in respect of these information security policies and controls in the organization. Non-compliant information security behaviours of end-users have the potential to lead to information security breaches. Non-compliance thus needs to be controlled. The discipline of information security and its management have evolved over the years. However, the discipline has retained the technology-driven nature of its origin. In this context, the discipline has failed to adequately appreciate the role played by the end-users and the complexities of their behaviour, as it relates to information security policies and controls. The pervasive information security management philosophy is that of treating end-users as the enemy. Compliance is sought to be achieved through awareness programs, rewards, punishments and evermore strict policies and controls. This has led to a bureaucratic information security management approach. The philosophy of treating end-users as the enemy has had an adverse impact on information security in the organization. It can be said that rather than curbing non-compliance by end-users, the present-day bureaucratic approach to information security management has contributed to non-compliance. This thesis calls this the end-user crisis. This research aims at resolving this crisis by identifying an improved approach to information security management in the organization. This research has applied the service management approach to information security management. The resultant Information Security Service Management (ISSM) views end-users as assets and resources, and not as enemies. The central idea of ISSM is that the end-user is to be treated as a customer, whose needs are to be satisfied. This research presents ISSM. This research also presents the various components of ISSM to aid in its implementation in an organization.

Abstract:
Product Information Management (PIM) is a field that deals with the product master data management and combines into one base the experience and the principles of data integration and data quality. Product Information Management merges the specific attributes of products across all channels in the supply chain. By unification, centralization and standardization of product information into one platform, quality and timely information with added value can be achieved. The goal of the theoretical part of the thesis is to construct a picture of the PIM, to place the PIM into a broader context, to define and describe various parts of the PIM solution, to describe the main differences in characteristics between the product data and data about clients and to summarize the available information on the administration and management of knowledge bases of the PIM data quality relevant for solving practical problems. The practical part of the thesis focuses on designing the structure, the content and the method of filling the knowledge base of the Product Information Management solution in the environment of the DataFlux software tools from SAS Institute. The practical part of the thesis further incorporates the analysis of the real product data, the design of definitions and objects of the knowledge base, the creation of a reference database and the testing of the knowledge base with the help of specially designed web services.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to develop suitable information structures to sup port main processes of facilities management (FM). The approach chosen to create these structures was to develop a generic FM process model and a building product model. The research method used was a system analytical approach involving the definition of activity models and object-oriented conceptual schemas. The existing national construction classification system (the BSAB System) was an important point of departure in the research work.

The resulting models were evaluated through prototyping. Three different prototypes were developed,: the Klara prototype (a system for plantring, operation and maintenance of building services systems), the Blandaren prototype (an object oriented database system for FM) and the Kronoberg prototype (a GIS like system for facilities management information). All the prototypes used data from real facilities. The prototype systems demonstrated that the product model @S-model) fulfils the requirements of flexibility, stability, adaptability, com prehensibility and cost-effectiveness, which are discussed in this thesis. The ge neric process model, which was mainly tested in one of the prototypes, should provide better conditions for integration by capturing main aspects of the es sence of FM and by providing an overall structure for information handling within FM.

In parallel with the evaluation of the prototype work, a conceptual schema (the Spatial Arrangement Model) was developed. Tbis is based on experiences from the prototypes and done in collaboration with the standardisation work for building construction within the STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data) activity.

The overall result of the research provides basic prerequisites for the develop ment of commercial IT systems for FM as well as an input to international stan dardisation efforts

Sensor management may be defined as those stochastic control problems in which control values are selected to influence sensing parameters in order to maximize the utility of the resulting measurements for an underlying detection or estimation problem. While problems of this type can be formulated as a dynamic program, the state space of the program is in general infinite, and traditional solution techniques are inapplicable. Despite this fact, many authors have applied simple heuristics such as greedy or myopic controllers with great success. This thesis studies sensor management problems in which information theoretic quantities such as entropy are utilized to measure detection or estimation performance. The work has two emphases: Firstly, we seek performance bounds which guarantee performance of the greedy heuristic and derivatives thereof in certain classes of problems. Secondly, we seek to extend these basic heuristic controllers to nd algorithms that provide improved performance and are applicable in larger classes of problems for which the performance bounds do not apply. The primary problem of interest is multiple object tracking and identification; application areas include sensor network management and multifunction radar control.
(cont.) Utilizing the property of submodularity, as proposed for related problems by different authors, we show that the greedy heuristic applied to sequential selection problems with information theoretic objectives is guaranteed to achieve at least half of the optimal reward. Tighter guarantees are obtained for diffusive problems and for problems involving discounted rewards. Online computable guarantees also provide tighter bounds in specific problems. The basic result applies to open loop selections, where all decisions are made before any observation values are received; we also show that the closed loop greedy heuristic, which utilizes observations received in the interim in its subsequent decisions, possesses the same guarantee relative to the open loop optimal, and that no such guarantee exists relative to the optimal closed loop performance. The same mathematical property is utilized to obtain an algorithm that exploits the structure of selection problems involving multiple independent objects. The algorithm involves a sequence of integer programs which provide progressively tighter upper bounds to the true optimal reward. An auxiliary problem provides progressively tighter lower bounds, which can be used to terminate when a near-optimal solution has been found.
(cont.) The formulation involves an abstract resource consumption model, which allows observations that expend different amounts of available time. Finally, we present a heuristic approximation for an object tracking problem in a sensor network, which permits a direct trade-o between estimation performance and energy consumption. We approach the trade-o through a constrained optimization framework, seeking to either optimize estimation performance over a rolling horizon subject to a constraint on energy consumption, or to optimize energy consumption subject to a constraint on estimation performance. Lagrangian relaxation is used alongside a series of heuristic approximations to and a tractable solution that captures the essential structure in the problem.

Abstract:
Information System development involves various activities; the process of developing information systems is considered to be the production of a series of documents. The information derived from the activities of the life cycle needs to be stored in a way that will facilitate the carrying out of subsequent activities. That is, information must be stored with a consistent, semantically rich, flexible, and efficient structure that will make it accessible for use by various tools employed in carrying out the development process. In this research, knowledge base management system (KBMS) to manage the information created by the information system development process was designed and implemented. Several contemporary popular knowledge representation schemes can be managed conveniently by this KBMS, which utilized efficient database techniques to facilitate fast retrieval and traversal of the underlying semantic inheritance net and frame knowledge structure. Inference and logic deduction capability was made a part of the static knowledge structure to further extend the functionality of the KBMS. Furthermore, a specially designed relational database management system was implemented and interfaced with the KBMS to alleviate the possibility of a storage saturation problem and to facilitate the storage of detailed exclusive information of terms defined in the knowledge base. Models that are applicable to various information system development activities were identified and stored in the knowledge base. The aggregation of those models is, in fact, a conceptual non-procedural language that provides a concise descriptive framework to help the user gather and manage information derived from various activities during the information system development process. The knowledge base, the language, and several knowledge-base related tools were used by more than seventy graduate students in a case study for a system analysis and design course. An information system methodology specifically tailored for this knowledge base supported environment was proposed and applied in a simplified case to illustrate the process of how a database-centered information system can be derived from the initial strategic planning phase. The methodology explored and made use of the storage structure of the closely coupled knowledge base and database. Finally, future research direction was identified.

Mestrado em Desenvolvimento e Cooperação Internacional
This research considers the theoretical and practical link between long-term sustainable development and disaster management. The aim is to develop a theoretical framework and a methodology which allows the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to manage the related information. Literature review leads us to understand development and disaster management as part of a learning cycle. Within this context, a common approach to information management is suggested to support the decision-making process in a cost-effective manner. A “universal” GIS is proposed to integrate information management for development and disaster while exploring the interactions between projects and project and the related geography which is considered a complex reality full of synergies between space, ecosystem, society, culture and economy. Study of academic production, practical implementations, interviews and a limited GIS application (using ArcMap and QGis) are used to endorse the capabilities of this concept. These capabilities are limited by lack of free information and cost of data gathering, interoperability and other technical issues. Open-source and crowdsourcing may solve some limitations while others need further research.

Today’s level of society and economy development shows that for the effective functioning of an enterprise it is not enough to own only basic factors of production: resources, capital, labor. A modern enterprise has to own and effectively use the information factor for the stable and productive work. Information helps to simplify the process of production and sales, to set up networking with economic players, such as suppliers, customers, financial institutions, government, partners, etc.

Abstract:
The thesis is about an effort taken towards achieving context awareness by efficiently managing context information. The management of context spans from defining context attributes to triggering of actions resulting from a context state change. The design of the model is targeted towards creating a context aware environment for an adhoc users/services collaboration system. Contextual data are grouped and stored as profiles and database tuples depending on context themselves. The context management model gathers profile and preferences of mobile users and services and monitors changes that the entities undergo. These changes are reflected as actions on the related entities depending on the context change. The thesis proposes a design, which enables creating relationships between context attributes and deriving semantics out of them to describe a situation. Once the situation is resolved, the model identifies the tasks to be carried out in such situation and triggers relevant actions. The scope of context management model is restricted to entities that are present in a physical room. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Abstract:
The spread of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has transformed the way we deliver services, and has made them in general more efficient and more accessible to users. With these improvements however came new challenges. The extensive use of electronic services in our daily life, and the massive gathering of transactional data have led to serious privacy violations.
In this thesis we provide techniques to enhance users' privacy, and to give them greater control over their data. We propose a protocol allowing users to authorize access to their remotely-stored records, according to a self-chosen privacy policy, and without the storage server learning the access pattern to their records, or the index of the queried records. This prevents the storage server from linking the identity of the party retrieving a record to that of the record owner. In many applications, the association between the identity of the record retriever and that of the record owner represents sensitive information, and needs to be kept private. The proposed protocol is called Accredited Symmetrically Private Information Retrieval (ASPIR), and uses Brands's Anonymous Credentials [Bra00] and a Symmetrically Private Information Retrieval (SPIR) scheme by Lipmaa [Lip05], as building blocks.
Next, we extend the above ASPIR protocol to a setting where the stored records belong to multiple owners simultaneously. The new protocol, called Multi-Authorizer ASPIR, allows the owners of a record to authorize access to their data according to a self-chosen privacy policy, without the storage server learning the access pattern to their record. We present constructions for settings where the retrieving party has to provide authorizations either from all the owners of the target record, or from a subset of them of size greater that a certain threshold. We also consider the case of a General Access Structure, where the retrieval is allowed only if authorizations from certain pre-defined subsets of the owners are provided. The Multi-authorizer ASPIR protocol is more efficient than ASPIR, and can be built with any SPIR primitive.
Finally, we dedicate the last part of the thesis to applying privacy preserving techniques to a real world problem. In particular, we consider the area of e-health, and provide a privacy-preserving protocol for handling prescriptions in the Belgian healthcare system.
La prolifération des services électroniques a eu des retombées positives sur nos sociétés. Les technologies de l'information ont révolutionné divers domaines clé de notre vie, notamment les services gouvernementaux, les affaires, la santé, les transports, les communications et l'éducation. Souvent, le passage au numérique, a rendu les services plus accessibles, plus rapides, plus faciles à utiliser et socialement plus inclusifs. Cependant, avec ces améliorations sont apparus aussi de nouveaux problèmes. En effet, l'utilisation des services électroniques au quotidien, et la collecte massives de données transactionnelles sur les utilisateurs, ont conduit à l'établissement de ce qu'on appelle communément les "dossiers électroniques". Un dossier électronique est une compilation de données personnelles récoltées lorsqu'un individu effectue des transactions électroniques ou reçoit des services. Ces dossiers sont de plus en plus utilisés par le gouvernement et les corporations pour prendre des décisions importantes sur les individus, sans que ces derniers ne soient capables d'y participer.
Cette thèse présente des techniques pour protéger davantage la vie privée des citoyens et leur donner plus de contrôle sur leurs données. On propose, entre autres, un protocole pour permettre à des utilisateurs d'autoriser l'accès à leurs données, sauvegardées sur un serveur distant, sans que celui-ci n'apprenne d'informations sur la fréquence et la distribution des accès, ou même sur l'indice des données récupérées. Ceci empêche le serveur d'établir des liens entre l'identité d'un propriétaire de données, et celle de l'agent qui a demandé l'accès à ses données. On peut penser à une multitude de scénarios où la divulgation de l'existence d'un tel lien est non souhaitable. Le protocole qu'on propose est nommé ASPIR de l'Anglais (Accredited Symmetrically Private Information Retrieval), et utilise les systèmes de certification de Brands [Bra00], ainsi que le système SPIR de Lipmaa [Lip05].
Dans un deuxième temps, on généralise le protocole ASPIR initial à un environnement où les entrées appartiennent à plusieurs parties. Le nouveau protocole, nommé Multi-Authorizer ASPIR, permet aux propriétaires d'autoriser l'accès à leurs données selon une politique qu'ils ont eux même choisie, et sans que le serveur n'apprenne des informations sur la fréquence et la distribution des accès. On présente des constructions pour des scénarios où le demandeur de données doit fournir une autorisation de la part de tous les (respectivement une partie des) propriétaires. Le protocole, Multi-authorizer ASPIR, est plus performant, et peut être implanté avec n'importe quel système SPIR.
Enfin, la dernière partie de la thèse est dédiée à l'application des techniques de protection de la vie privée à un exemple concret de la vie courante. L'exemple qu'on traite appartient au domaine de la santé. On présente alors un protocole pour gérer les ordonnances médicales, qui est compatible avec le système de santé Belge. Le protocole proposé préserve la vie privée des patients et des médecins.

Abstract:
Bioinformatics, the discipline concerned with biological information management is essential in the post-genome era, where the complexity of data processing allows for contemporaneous multi level research including that at the genome level, transcriptome level, proteome level, the metabolome level, and the integration of these -omic studies towards gaining an understanding of biology at the systems level. This research is also having a major impact on disease research and drug discovery, particularly through pharmacogenomics studies. In this study innovative resources have been generated via the use of two case studies. One was of the Research & Development Genetics (RDG) department at AstraZeneca, Alderley Park and the other was of the Pharmacogenomics Group at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge UK. In the AstraZeneca case study senior scientists were interviewed using semi-structured interviews to determine information behaviour through the study scientific workflows. Document analysis was used to generate an understanding of the underpinning concepts and fonned one of the sources of context-dependent information on which the interview questions were based. The objectives of the Sanger Institute case study were slightly different as interviews were carried out with eight scientists together with the use of participation observation, to collect data to develop a database standard for one process of their Pharmacogenomics workflow. The results indicated that AstraZeneca would benefit through upgrading their data management solutions in the laboratory and by development of resources for the storage of data from larger scale projects such as whole genome scans. These studies will also generate very large amounts of data and the analysis of these will require more sophisticated statistical methods. At the Sanger Institute a minimum information standard was reported for the manual design of primers and included in a decision making tree developed for Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCRs). This tree also illustrates problems that can be encountered when designing primers along with procedures that can be taken to address such issues.

Abstract:
The way engineers and engineering companies do their work has significantly changed over the past twenty years. This is mainly due to the simultaneous development of computers (particularly personal computers) and software. Most engineers are likely to use several engineering application programs and mainstream software packages. Hence, information from one application must be capable of being transferred into other packages for further processing or analysing and reporting or documentation purposes. This thesis aims to investigate aspects of data management and applications integration in process engineering design. It proposes a new method and model for data storage, manipulation and representation, on which new process design environments may be based. Several aspects of integrated process design database systems are examined, including data models, data handling, program control and integration. A system called PREMIS has been developed which uses an object-oriented approach to data management. It utilises templates which mimic specification sheets used in process industry for defining objects in a design environment. The use of methods promotes a consistent look and feel to the tools in the environment. The application of PREMIS to a real process engineering design example illustrates the benefits of object-oriented techniques to the process systems and design community. Templates can be manipulated as entities. They are displayed on the screen where they serve as the data input device for design information. Data on the templates and stored in the database can be shared and accessed directly by design programs. The dynamic nature of the object definitions encourages experimentation with the new data types and methods. The system also aims to demonstrate the advantages of employing advanced integration features of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Em uma segunda etapa, através da análise de 10 entrevistas, são discutidas as técnicas que alguns profissionais de áreas gráficas aplicam para lidar com a informação digital em suas máquinas, como eles driblam alguns dos limites impostos pela interface gráfica e como eles alteram sua forma de trabalhar quando encontram limites que não podem ser transpostos. Os resultados apresentados poderão servir de subsídios para o desenvolvimento de futuras interfaces melhor adequadas às atividades dos profissionais que vivem da manipulação de imagens.

This thesis analyzes scalable information-sharing network management. It looks into one of the large problems in network management today: finding information across different network domains. Information-sharing network management is a method to solving the problem, though it is important to make it scalable. The solution proposed uses the Publish-Subscribe Internet Routing Paradigm (PSIRP) inter-domain design as the base structure. The design borrows from Border Gateway Protocol ideas and uses the Chord protocol as one of the key methods of finding information. The conclusion after analyzing the scalability of PSIRP is that its use of Chord gives it an advantage that allows a tradeoff between performance and distribution.

Engineering projects are rapidly growing in size and complexity. Computers have aided in managing project growth and solving the complexity issues to some extent. Engineering design has moved from drawing board design to computer aided design. But the process of design has changed minimally. There is still a potential for using computers to improve the design process. Engineering design projects are increasingly often being implemented by more than one firm; it is often beneficial and even necessary to collaborate. The collaboration between geographically distant branches/firms has to be achieved, as the required expertise is normally never found in one place. This research takes a look at using available computer technology for improving the engineering design collaboration and to improve the process of design. The research also takes a look the potential problems that will be encountered in a collaboration project and how to overcome them. The International Standards Organisation (ISO) procedures still insist on the complete documentation in the form of manuals or in electronic form. This documentation procedure has its advantages but the basic disadvantage lies with fact that the documentation and design are viewed as two separate processes. This research proposes a method to integrate them. This project demonstrates the feasibility of knowledge capture in the design process to aid the design engineer. The project also demonstrates rapid application prototyping using the JAVA language.

Abstract:
The recent global credit crunch? has brought sharply into focus the need for better understanding of what it takes for organisations to survive. This research seeks to help organisations maintain their viability? – the ability to maintain a separate existence and survive on their own. Whilst there are a multitude of factors that contribute to organisational viability, information can be viewed as the lifeblood of organisations. This research increases our understanding of how organisations can manage information effectively to help maintain their viability. The viable systems model (VSM) is an established modelling technique that enables the detailed analysis of organisational activity to examine how the structure and functions performed in an organisation contribute to its viability?. The VSM has been widely applied, in small/large companies, industries and governments. However, whilst the VSM concentrates on the structure and functions necessary for an organisation to be viable, it pays much less attention to information deployment in organisations. Indeed, the VSM is criticised in the literature for being unable to provide much help with detailed information and communication structures and new theories are called for to explore the way people interact and what information they need in the VSM. This research analyses qualitative data collected from four case studies to contribute to our understanding of the role that information plays in organisational viability, making three key contributions to the academic literature. In the information management literature, this research provides new insight into the roles that specific information plays in organisations. In the systems thinking literature, this research extends our understanding of the VSM and builds on its powerful diagnostic capability to provide further criteria to aid in the diagnosis of viable organisations. In the information systems literature, this research develops a framework that can be used to help organisations design more effective information systems.

Abstract:
More than 38% of the U.S. public workforce will likely retire by 2030, which may result in a labor shortage. Business leaders may adopt strategies to mitigate knowledge loss within their organizations by capturing knowledge in a knowledge management system (KMS). The purpose of this single case study was to explore strategies that information technology (IT) managers use to develop and implement a KMS. The target population consisted of IT managers in a small-sized organization located in northwestern Florida who had implemented a KMS successfully. The conceptual framework for this study was organizational knowledge creation theory. The collection of public documents, execution of semistructured interviews with 5 qualified participants, literature on the topic, and member checking formed the determination of the findings of the study. Using triangulation and coding the data for emergent themes, 6 themes emerged from the data analysis: (a) training, (b) customer focus, (c) policy and governance, (d) leadership and management support, (e) communication and marketing, and (f) business process management. The application of the findings may contribute to social change by identifying strategies that leaders and IT managers from communities and government agencies use in implementing a KMS that may facilitate transparency and open flow of information to citizens, and allow access to timely, civic, and potentially life-enhancing information.

Abstract:
As workplaces have become more digitalized and improvements constantly being made in order to optimize performance, it becomes pivotal for managers to understand how stress within organizations can be linked to the information- and communication technology within them. This thesis addresses the research gap of several studies existing regarding technology-related stress, but where a majority of them are quantitative in nature and overlooking the important aspect of organizational culture. The purpose of this thesis is to create an understanding regarding how managers perceive technostress in their organization, and how counterstrategies, if any, are applied. The added value of this research is that it highlights how poorly understood the problem of information overload is amongst certain managers, while highlighting the cultural aspects within organizations and their contributions to the problem. The results show that while many aspects related to information overload are noticed by managers and employees alike, very few – if any – counterstrategies exists in order to highlight and combat the problems that information overload entails. While individual practices existed, few could be realized at an organizational level without first addressing company culture.

Abstract:
As the usage of both BIM (Building Information Modelling) and 3D-GIS (Three-Dimensional Geographic Information Systems) has increased within the field of urban development and construction, so has the interest in connecting these two tools.  One possibility of integration is the potential of visualising BIM models together with other spatial data in 3D. Another is to be able to perform spatial 3D analyses on the models. Both of these can be achieved through use of GIS software. This study explores how integration of BIM and GIS could look. The goal was to perform typical GIS analyses in 3D on BIM models. Previous research points towards some success within the field through use of the indicated standard format for each tool – IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) for BIM and CityGML (City Geographic Markup Language) for GIS. Transformation between the formats took place through use of the BIM software Revit, the transformation tool FME and the GIS software ArcGIS. A couple of reviewed applications of GIS analyses were chosen for testing on the converted models – indoor network analysis, visibility analysis and spatial analysis for 3D buildings. The input data in the study was several BIM models, both models created for real-life usage and others that only function as sample data within the different software. From the results of the practical work it can be concluded that a simple, automated and full-scale integration does not seem to be within reach quite yet. Most transformations between IFC and CityGML failed to some extent, especially the more detailed and complex ones. In some test cases, the file could not be imported into ArcGIS and in others geometries were missing or existing even though they should not. There were also examples where geometries had been moved during the process. As a consequence of these problems, most analyses failed or did not give meaningful results. A few of the original analyses did give positive results. Combining (flawed) CityGML models with other spatial data for visualisation purposes worked rather well. Both the shadow volume and sightline analyses did also get reasonable results which indicates that there might be a future for those applications. The obstacles for a full-scale integration identified during the work were divided into four different categories. The first is BIM usage and routines where created models need to be of high quality if the final results are to be correct. The second are problems concerning the level of detail, especially the lack of common definitions for the amount of details and information. The third category concerns the connection between local and global coordinate systems where a solution in form of updates to IFC might already be in place. The fourth, and largest, category contains those surrounding the different formats and software used. Here, focus should lie on the transformation between IFC and CityGML. There are plenty of possible, future, work concerning these different problems. There is also potential in developing own tools for integration or performing different analyses than those chosen for this thesis.
I takt med den ökade användningen av både BIM och 3D-GIS inom samhällsbyggnadsprocessen har även intresset för att sammanföra de två verktygen blivit större. En möjlighet med integration är potentialen att visualisera BIM-modeller tillsammans med andra geografiska data i 3D. En annan är att kunna genomföra rumsliga 3D-analyser på modellerna. Båda dessa går att utföra med hjälp av GIS-programvara. Denna studie utforskar hur en integration mellan BIM och GIS kan se ut. Målet är att genomföra typiska GIS-analyser i 3D på BIM-modeller. Tidigare forskning pekar mot vissa framgångar inom området genom att arbeta med det utpekade standardformatet för respektive verktyg – IFC för BIM och CityGML för GIS. Transformation mellan formaten skedde med hjälp av programvarorna Revit, FME och ArcGIS. Ett par framhållna tillämpningar av GIS-analyser valdes ut för tester på de konverterade modellerna – nätverksanalyser inomhus, siktanalyser och rumsliga analyser för 3D-byggnader. Som indata användes flera olika BIM-modeller, både sådana som tillverkats för faktisk användning och modeller som skapats för att användas som exempeldata inom programvarorna. Utifrån resultaten från det praktiska arbetet kan konstateras att en enkel, automatiserad och fullskalig integration mellan verktygen verkar ligga en bit in i framtiden. De flesta transformationerna mellan IFC och CityGML misslyckades i någon aspekt, speciellt de mer detaljerade och komplexa. I vissa testfall kunde filen inte importeras i ArcGIS, i andra saknas eller existerar oväntade geometrier även om importen lyckats. Det finns också exempel där geometrier förflyttats. Som en konsekvens av dessa problem kunde de flesta 3D-analyser inte genomföras alls eller lyckades inte ge betydelsefulla resultat. Ett fåtal av de ursprungliga analyserna gav dock positiv utdelning. Att kombinera (felaktiga) CityGML-modeller med annan rumslig data fungerade förhållandevis väl ur ett visualiseringssyfte. Både skuggvolymsanalysen och framtagandet av siktlinjer från byggnaderna gav någorlunda korrekta resultat vilket indikerar att det kan finnas en framtid gällande de tillämpningarna. Hindren för en fullskalig integration som identifierades genom arbetet delades upp i fyra olika kategorier. Den första är BIM-användning där hög kvalitet på de skapade modellerna är viktigt för korrekta slutresultat. Den andra är detaljeringsgraden där avsaknaden av gemensamma definitioner för detaljeringsgraderna ställer till problem. Den tredje kategorin är koordinat- och referenssystem där en lösning på kopplingen mellan lokala och globala system redan kan finnas på plats i en av de senare utgåvorna av IFC-formatet. Den sista och största kategorin är problematiken kring just format och programvaror där mer arbete på översättningen mellan IFC och CityGML kommer att krävas. I framtiden finns det gott om arbete att göra med dessa olika problem. Det finns också potential att utveckla egna verktyg för integrationen eller att ägna sig åt att göra andra analyser än de som valdes ut i den här studien.

Abstract:
On the 50th anniversary of the creation of the first medicines information center, the core of this PhD Thesis offers an insider perspective and provides several examples of independent drug information, with a focus on new drugs. On the one hand, it provides an overview of the origins and challenges current medicines information centers within public healthcare organizations are experiencing. Several strategic lines aiming for information centers continue to meet drug information needs in the actual healthcare and economic context are presented. Additionally, various examples of independent drug information as a tool for medicines management are as well provided. First, the evaluation of the place in therapy of methylnaltrexone, the first peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist, licensed for opioid-induced constipation in patients with advanced illness. Second, the role of three novel opioid antagonists (methylnaltrexone, alvimopan and modified release naloxone) and four other agents (NKTR-118, TD-1211, ADL-7445 and ADL-5945), which are currently under different stages of clinical development, in the management of opioid-induced bowel dysfunction is discussed. The annexes compile two editorials, one on new drugs’ policies and a second on how should the pharmaceutical benefit scheme be reviewed in order to maximize its economic impact without compromising healthcare quality. For illustrative purposes, several drug information bulletins are enclosed, reviewing the place in therapy of other newly marketed drugs.
En el contexto del 50 aniversario de la creación del primer centro de información de medicamentos, esta tesis ofrece una perspectiva interna y varios ejemplos de actividades de información independiente, centrándose especialmente en los nuevos medicamentos. Por un lado, revisa los orígenes y retos a los que se enfrentan los centros de información de medicamentos de la sanidad pública hoy en día. En este sentido, se proponen varias líneas estratégicas para garantizar que éstos centros continúen respondiendo a las necesidades de información en el actual contexto económico y sanitario. Adicionalmente, se presentan varias actividades de información independiente que sirven de herramienta para la gestión del medicamento. En primer lugar, la evaluación del lugar en terapéutica de la metilnaltrexona, el primer antagonista periférico del receptor mu-opioide, indicado para el tratamiento del estreñimiento inducido por opioideis en pacientes con enfermedad avanzada. En segundo lugar, se revisa el papel de los nuevos antagonistas opioides (metilnaltrexona, alvimopan y naloxona de liberación prolongada) y de otros cuatro agentes (NKTR-118, TD-1211, ADL-7445 y ADL-5945), actualmente en diferentes fases de desarrollo clínico, en el manejo de la disfunción intestinal inducida por opioides. Los anexos compilan dos editoriales, una primera sobre las políticas de nuevos medicamentos y la segunda sobre cómo maximizar el impacto en la reducción de la oferta de medicamentos públicamente financiados sin comprometer la calidad asistencial. A modo ilustrativo, se incluyen varios boletines de información de medicamentos en los que se revisa el lugar en la terapéutica de otros nuevos medicamentos recientemente comercializados.

Abstract:

The construction industry is often accused of beingfragmented and inefficient in nature due to the lack ofcontinuity and repetitive behaviour in projects. For many yearsinformation technology has been put forward as a solution. But,despite the potentials, little gains have been harvested by thedevelopment of computerised information systems (IS). Theoverall aim of this research is to determine if a moreaccessible and clearly described housing development processcould be enabled by an information system, which in itself,could improve both individual and project (group) performance.Two research questions are being put forward; first, will aprocess-oriented IS positively impact on the performance ofproject managers and in particular on the performance ofproject groups? Second, how important is a process-orientedinformation management process for the success of the IS? Toanswer these questions an action research approach with largeinfluences of survey research has been adopted. The researchconsists of two phases; a process orientation within a largeSwedish housing development company and a survey of projectmanagers¡¦ attitudes towards a new process-orientedIS also including a study of dependencies found among variablesof information system success (ISS). To enable a verificationof the success of the IS an assessment instrument - hypothesismodel - for evaluating ISS was developed. The assessmentinstrument was built on DeLone and McLean's (1992) ISS modeland extended to include measures of information managementprocess quality (process quality). The hypothesis model wasthen tested empirically with a questionnaire survey. Astatistical test was also performed to test the hypothesisedrelationships of the augmented ISS model. In summarising thefindings of the data analysis, it is evident that the new ISreceived unexpected support from the respondents. The findingsalso indicate that the collected and analysed data show supportfor numerous of the hypothesised relationships of ISS.Conclusions are drawn that confirm the presence of a processquality measure for assessing ISS. From a practitioner'sperspective, this research suggests a course of action forprocess oriented organisational development. It also indicatesbeneficiary useof a process focus in IS development.

Abstract:
Information security has significant role in Healthcare organizations. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) with patient’s information is considered as very sensitive in Healthcare organization. Sensitive information of patients in healthcare has to be managed such that it is safe and secure from unauthorized access. The high-level quality care to patients is possible if healthcare management system is able to provide right information in right time to right place. Availability and accessibility are significant aspects of information security, where applicable information needs to be available and accessible for user within the healthcare organization as well as across organizational borders. At the same time, it is essentials to protect the patient security from unauthorized access and maintain the appropriate level in health care regarding information security. The aim of this thesis is to explore current management of information security in terms of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and how these are protected from possible security threats and risks in healthcare, when the sensitive information has to be communicated among different actors in healthcare as well as across borders. The Blekinge health care system was investigated through case study with conduction of several interviews to discover possible issues, concerning security threats to management of healthcare. The theoretical work was the framework and support for possible solutions of identified security risks and threats in Blekinge healthcare. At the end after mapping, the whole process possible guidelines and suggestions were recommended for healthcare in order to prevent the sensitive information from unauthorized access and maintain information security. The management of technical and administrative bodies was explored for security problems. It has main role to healthcare and in general, whole business is the responsibility of this management to manage the sensitive information of patients. Consequently, Blekinge healthcare was investigated for possible issues and some possible guidelines and suggestions in order to improve the current information security with prevention of necessary risks to healthcare sensitive information.
