Abstract:

The process of analyzing the requirements for information security management systems is considered. The obligation to comply with the requirements of the international standard ISO/IEC 27001 is shown. This provides confidence to stakeholders in the proper management of information security risks with an acceptable level. This is due to the internal and external circumstances of influencing the goal and achieving the expected results of organizations. In addition, the identification of stakeholders, their needs and expectations from the development of information security management systems are also considered. It is established that now the main focus is on taking into account the requirements for the process of developing these systems or to ensure information security in organizations. The transformation of the needs, expectations and related constraints of stakeholders into an appropriate systemic solution has been overlooked. These limitations have been overcome through the method of analyzing the requirements for information security management systems. Its use allows, based on the needs, expectations and related constraints of stakeholders, to identify relevant statements in established syntactic forms. There is need to check each of them for correctness of formulation and compliance with the characteristics of both the individual requirement and the set of requirements. For their systematization, establishment of relations the graphic notation SysML is applied. In view of this, the requirement is considered as a stereotype of a class with properties and constraints. Relationships are used to establish relationships between requirements. Their combination is represented by a diagram in the graphical notation SysML and, as a result, allows you to specify the requirements for information security management systems. In the prospects of further research, it is planned to develop its logical structure on the basis of the proposed method.

Abstract:

Information technology (IT) development often suffers from requirements uncertainty as in many cases only preliminary information is available. Wrong decisions may lead to rework that wastes resources and delays the project. Coping with preliminary information is thus an important aspect of project management. The authors apply a case study approach to analyze how IT professionals react to preliminary information and why they do so. The authors base their study on a concurrent engineering research study that provides guidelines how the downstream process (implementation) should react if the upstream process (analysis) is not able to provide all information. According to the authors' results, IT professionals predominantly apply these proposed reactions. Nevertheless, it is often unclear why they react the chosen way. They recommend IT professionals to invest effort to more systematically consider multiple reactions. Future research should focus on how the upstream process should react when the downstream process needs to make a decision.

Abstract:

As technical communication gains the technology to deliver dynamic custom documents, the importance of audience analysis increases. As a major factor in supporting dynamic adjustment of document content, the audience analysis must clearly capture the range of user goals and information needs in a flexible manner. Replacing a linear audience analysis model with a multidimensional model provides one method of achieving that flexibility. With a minimum of three separate dimensions to capture topic knowledge, detail required, and user cognitive ability, this model provides the writer a means of connecting content with information requirements and ensuring the dynamic document fits varying audience needs.

Abstract:

Background: Studies have shown that newly diagnosed diabetic patients need a lot of information about medical examinations, checkups, tests and precautions for its control besides its disastrous effects on heart, kidneys, eyes, foot and nerves. Patients in Saudi Arabia are generally not aware of most of the information they may need which is one the major reasons for its increasing number of patients. Past studies conducted are based on clinical data of hospitals and healthcare centers only discussed its effects. Methods: Present research was conducted through a survey questionnaire in the Arabic language from Type 1 and Type 2 patients to establish if they knew about this disease and its criticality in the day to day activities and were they being provided sufficient information about its requirements. Data for checkups, tests, management by food and nutrition and physical activity education were collected for this purpose. Approximately 25% female and 33% male patients reported that diabetes affected their day to day activities. Results: Analysis of results showed that awareness of importance of tests including blood glucose level test HbA1c was only among 50% patients, 51% Type 1 did not have cholesterol test, 31% Type 1 and 16% Type 2 % never had eye test, 97% Type 1 and 60% Type 2 were unaware of barefoot examination, 34% Type 1 and 70% Type 2 never went to a dietician to ascertain their nutrition needs, 24% Type 2 did not know importance of exercise for diabetes control. Conclusion: It was concluded that Saudi patients suffering from diabetes seriously lacked information about its monitoring, control and treatment in form of tests to be conducted and requirements of diet control and physical activities. Therefore, a national level awareness campaign for providing this information could be considered as a key requirement.

Abstract:

Human needs to meet their needs cannot be separated from the role of information technology (IT) to provide data and information needs. In the education sector, the need for application of IT is carried out as an effort to support learning activities. One of application for education is a learning management system. Through this research, it will explain the system requirements for an authentic assessment information system based on web application. When conducting an authentic assessment, the teacher will assess the aspects of attitudes, knowledge and skills of student for vocational high school levels. The assessment tools for authentic assessments can be through by performance, writing, projects and portfolios assessments. The software development method used is the waterfall method, where for the needs analysis stage have used user requirement analysis and PIECES table. Meanwhile, for the design stage, we will use design tools by unified modeling language (UML). From the analysis and design of an authentic assessment information system based on web application, it is hoped that it can be one of the recommendations in building a learning management system media that is made in accordance with the assessment guidelines in the 2013 Curriculum.

Abstract:

SummaryBackground: Many informatics studies use content analysis to generate functional requirements for system development. Explication of this translational process from qualitative data to functional requirements can strengthen the understanding and scientific rigor when applying content analysis in informatics studies.Objectives: To describe a user-centered approach transforming emergent themes derived from focus group data into functional requirements for informatics solutions and to illustrate these methods to the development of an antibiotic clinical decision support system (CDS).Methods: The approach consisted of five steps: 1) identify unmet therapeutic planning information needs via Focus Group Study-I, 2) develop a coding framework of therapeutic planning themes to refine the domain scope to antibiotic therapeutic planning, 3) identify functional requirements of an antibiotic CDS system via Focus Group Study-II, 4) discover informatics solutions and functional requirements from coded data, and 5) determine the types of information needed to support the antibiotic CDS system and link with the identified informatics solutions and functional requirements.Results: The coding framework for Focus Group Study-I revealed unmet therapeutic planning needs. Twelve subthemes emerged and were clustered into four themes; analysis indicated a need for an antibiotic CDS intervention. Focus Group Study-II included five types of information needs. Comments from the Barrier/Challenge to information access and Function/Feature themes produced three informatics solutions and 13 functional requirements of an antibiotic CDS system. Comments from the Patient, Institution, and Domain themes generated required data elements for each informatics solution.Conclusions: This study presents one example explicating content analysis of focus group data and the analysis process to functional requirements from narrative data. Illustration of this 5-step method was used to develop an antibiotic CDS system, resolving unmet antibiotic prescribing needs. As a reusable approach, these techniques can be refined and applied to resolve unmet information needs with informatics interventions in additional domains.Citation: Bright TJ.

Abstract:

Adequate product cost economic management is not possible at present without economic software application. Based on the analysis of the current state of enterprise information systems in agriculture, we define basic methods of automatic processing of economic trials and this on the enterprise management level and in-plant level. For product cost management enhancement, we recommend managerial information system application, which introduces extension of enterprise information system and allow real time cost analyse with multidimensional disintegration. We also introduce requirements that economic software suitable for information management needs should ensure.

Abstract:

Covid-Pandemin i början av 2020 har på ett eller annat sätt påverkat och begränsat hur anställda arbetar. Flera förändringar har skett som att företag med förutsättningarna förlagt arbetet till de anställdas hem. Detta har bidragit till att spontana interaktioner minskat, nya arbetsmetoder har formats och nya verktyg lanserats. Denna nya situation har medfört en rad utmaningar och möjligheter kring hur anställda samarbetar och delar kunskap kring kundbehov. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka hur mjukvaruföretag har anpassat metoder, aktiviteter och arbetsprocesser vid utvecklingsarbetet av mjukvara. Syftet besvaras genom att utreda processerna vid krav och behovsanalys samt till att kartlägga samarbetsverktyg, arbetssituationen hemifrån, interaktioner inom projektgruppen samt vilka möjligheter och hinder som finns vid kontakt med kunder. En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomfördes på två mjukvaruföretag med sex informanter inom olika roller i en projektgrupp med tre krav: att de arbetat på distans under pandemin, att de har kundkontakt samt är involverade i utveckling av mjukvara. Resultatet visar att distansen leder till möjligheter i kombinationen arbets- och privatliv exempelvis ingen restid, lättare att planera in aktiviteter som barnlämning och hämtning. Vidare pekar resultatet på utmaningar och svårigheter i digitala interaktioner mellan arbetskollegor och kunder som att det exempelvis är svårt att tolka kroppsspråk, ansiktsuttryck och tystnad samt att spontana interaktioner minskat. Utmaningarna leder till att det kan bli svårt att uppfatta tyst kunskap vilket kan påverka arbetet med kravanalys och i sin tur slutprodukten. Resultatet analyserades genom att betrakta hur kunskap kring kundbehov skapas exempelvis vilka metoder som används samt vilka förutsättningar som projektgruppen lever upp till för framgångsrik kunskapsdelning på distans. Analysen visar att den ökade användningen av digitala verktyg har skapat en social acceptans för digitala möten vilket resulterat i frekvent kontakt med kund samt skapande av mer underlag som exempelvis inspelade möten. När arbetet sker uteslutande via digitala verktyg kan fler roller involveras tidigare i utvecklingsprocessen. Då kommunikationen sker digitalt kan en minskning i förståelse för kundens behov upplevas då exempelvis informella möten inte längre sker samt att metoder som observationer inte längre används. Projektgrupper bör anpassa sig för att möta utmaningarna som distansen medför genom att exempelvis minst en gång om dagen träffa kollegorna i digitala träffar i syfte att ingen ska känna sig ensam och för att stärka samhörigheten. Digitala intervjuer och återkoppling med kund sker oftare och leder till ökad mängd lagrad data som exempelvis inspelningar och mötesanteckningar. Ökningen behöver hanteras i syfte att den blir lättillgänglig för projektmedlemmar. Vidare försöker projektgrupper anpassa sig till minskningen av fysiska interaktioner genom att aktiviteter som observationer och workshops inte längre används.
The Covid-Pandemic at the beginning of 2020 has in one way or another affected and limited how employees work. Changes such as companies with the possibility relocating the work to the employees' homes, changes in spontaneous interactions, new working methods have been formed and new tools have been launched. This new situation has led to several challenges and opportunities regarding how employees collaborate and share knowledge about customer needs. The purpose of the thesis has been to investigate how software companies have adapted methods, activities and work processes. The purpose is answered by investigating the processes for requirements and needs analysis and for mapping collaboration tools, the work situation from home, interactions within the project group and the opportunities and obstacles that exist in contact with customers. A qualitative interview study was conducted at two software companies with six informants in different roles with three requirements: that they worked remotely during the pandemic, that they have customer contact and are involved in software development. The results show that distance work leads to opportunities in the combination of work and private life, for example no travel time and easier planning of picking up children from school. Furthermore, the results point to challenges and difficulties in digital interactions between work colleagues and customers in that, for example, it is difficult to interpret body language, facial expressions and silence and that spontaneous interactions have decreased. The challenges lead to becoming difficult to perceive tacit knowledge, which can affect the work with requirements analysis and in turn the product. The results were analysed by considering how knowledge about customer needs is created, for example which methods are used and which conditions the project group lives up to for successful knowledge sharing at a distance. The analysis shows that the increased use of digital tools has created a social acceptance for digital meetings, which has resulted in frequent contact with customers and the creation of more data in the form of, for example, recorded meetings. When the work is done exclusively with digital tools, more roles can be involved earlier in the development process. When communication takes place digitally, a reduction in understanding of the customer's needs can be experienced when, for example, informal meetings no longer take place and methods such as observations are no longer used. Project groups should adapt to meet the challenges posed by the distance by, for example, meeting colleagues in digital meetings at least once a day for no one to feel alone and to strengthen cohesion. Digital interviews and customer feedback take place more often and lead to an increased amount of stored data in the form of, for example, recordings and meeting notes. The increase in data needs to be managed for it to be easily accessible to project members. Furthermore, project groups try to adapt to the reduction in understanding and perception of tacit knowledge by no longer using activities such as observations and workshops.

Abstract:

This study aims to evaluate the use of the method Information Demand Analysis (henceforth IDA) against an analysis tool. To gain empirical understanding of IDA, the method will be applied to a cooperation process between two business organisations. The research questions of the study are to investigate what can be required of a method, to identify the information demand for the above mentioned cooperation process, and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the use of IDA.

Based on a literature study an evaluation framework, which describes what can be required of a method, was developed. The evaluation framework resulted in an analysis tool, which consists of the elements: method content, method user, method context, method validation, the method creator’s requirements, and the wishes and expectations of the business organisations. The use of IDA implied scoping to delimit the problem situation and a workshop to identify the information demand. In order to gain an understanding of the use of the method IDA, and to identify the information demand, the method was applied to a cooperation process between Steel AB and Wood AB. The information demand was later represented in Extended Enterprise Modelling Language (henceforth EEML). Finally, we analysed if and how the elements in the analysis tool were reflected in IDA and identified the strengths and weaknesses of the use of the method.

The strengths of IDA are that it is general and applicable on different types of business organisations. Furthermore, it has well defined concepts and the possibility of selecting appropriate concepts ensures that it is applicable on different problem situations. The business organisations, which participated in the workshop, found that IDA resulted in a holistic view and increased the understanding for each other. The weaknesses of IDA are lack of documentation of explicitly defined steps, the implications for selecting certain concepts, guidance, and explicitly described notations. Concerning the involved roles, in IDA, we request a description of them, their responsibilities, and the needed knowledge sets and skills for using the method. Since IDA still is under development we had difficulties understanding how our outcome of the method should fulfil the purpose of IDA.

Abstract:

The technology revolution has transformed the way in which many organisations do their business. The resultant information systems have increased the decision making powers of executives, leading to increased effectiveness and ultimately to improved product delivery. The process of information systems development is, however, complex. Furthermore, it has a poor track record in terms of on-time and within-budget delivery, but more significantly in terms of low user acceptance frequently attributable to poor user requirements specification. Consequently, much attention has been given to the process of requirements elicitation, with both researchers and businessmen seeking new, innovative and effective methods. These methods usually involve large numbers of participants who are drawn from within the client and developer organisations. This is a financially costly characteristic of the requirements elicitation process. Besides information systems, the technology revolution has also brought sophisticated communication technologies into the marketplace. These communication technologies allow people to communicate with one another in a variety of different time and space scenarios. An important spin-off of this is the ability for people located in significantly different geographical locations to work collaboratively on a project. It is claimed that this approach to work has significant cost and productivity advantages. This study draws the requirements elicitation process into the realm of collaborative work. Important project management, communication, and collaborative working principles are examined in detail, and a model is developed which represents these issues as they pertain to the requirements elicitation process. An empirical study (conducted in South Africa) is performed in order to examine the principles of the model and the relationships between its constituent elements. A model of geographically distributed requirements elicitation (GDRE) is developed on the basis of the findings of this investigation. The model of GDRE is presented as a 3-phased approach to requirements elicitation, namely planning, implementation, and termination. Significantly, the model suggests the use of interviews, structured workshops, and prototyping as the chief requirements elicitation methods to be adopted in appropriate conditions. Although a detailed study of communications technology was not performed, this thesis suggests that each individual GDRE implementation requires a different mix of communication technologies to support its implementation.

Abstract:

This thesis develops a methodology for situated requirements determination in information systems analysis. The thesis challenges convention and adds to the body of knowledge in this area since the methods of the methodology are more usually associated with the social sciences. The role of the systems analyst and the nature of information systems as a distinct discipline form a major part of the thesis and the scope of this investigation includes an exposition of information systems methodologies in general and 'soft' methodologies in particular. A major element of the thesis is the empirical work carried out in which the researcher has undertaken two 'live' systems analysis studies using the methodology which has been developed in action supported by computer software for qualitative data analysis The results from the study are presented in terms of learning and are analysed to help answer the questions relating to the appropriateness of the methodology and the usefulness of the methodology for practising systems analysts. The research methodology used is action case and the appropriateness of this is examined in depth since studies of this type raise a number of questions relating to the validity of this type of research and the role of the researcher. The thesis draws together the different problems and questions that arise in order to produce a coherent, consistent and academically worthy account based upon the literature and empirical findings. In short the thesis addresses the basic issue that motivated its production, namely, how systems analysts faced with organisational complexity really find out what is going on. The outcomes of the research argue for a new role for the systems analyst as postmodern 'bricoleue and tentatively propose the usefulness of social science methods in information systems practice.

Abstract:

Within any ecosystem, information needs are shared to be fulfilled and to support the ecosystem in a way or another. They are vital for designing appropriate information systems that will provide those needs. In this thesis, the gravel road ecosystem is studied, where efficient information sharing is not enabled due to the lack of appropriate information systems. Thus,when focusing on the gravel roads ecosystem, information plays a crucial role regarding the maintenance acts upon these roads. Moreover, not enough literature investigates theinformation needs of gravel roads stakeholders with the aim to improve the maintenance ofthese roads. Therefore, this thesis intends to elicit information needs of gravel road stakeholders by performing an exploratory case study. The case study forms a part of an ongoing project with the goal to build a cloud-based information system for a sustainable gravel road maintenance. Data were collected through telephone- and online-based interviews with several key stakeholders in Sweden and were thereafter structured through template analysis. The major findings were a set of information needs and several needed sensors within the pre-mentioned information system. This thesis concluded that the future cloud-based information system in the ongoing project is a useful system for sharing vital information among future gravel roads stakeholders, considering the variety of needed information that affects the maintenance of the gravel roads.

Abstract:

With widespread of harmful attacks against enterprises' electronic services, information security readiness of these enterprises is becoming of increasing importance for establishing the required safe environment for such services. Various approaches are proposed to manage enterprise information security risks and to assess its information security readiness. These approaches are, however, not adequate to manage information security risks, as all required information security components of its structural and procedural dimensions have not considered. In addition, current assessment approaches lack numerical indicators in assessing enterprise information security readiness. Furthermore, there is no standard approach for analysing cost versus benefit in selecting recommended protection measures. This thesis aims at contributing to the knowledge by developing comprehensive Enterprise Information Security Risk Management (EISRM) framework that integrates typical approaches for information security risk management, and incorporates main components of key risk management methodologies. In addition, for supporting phases of the proposed EISRM framework, analytical models for enterprise information security readiness assessment and cost-benefit analysis are developed. The practical evaluation, using the proposed enterprise information security readiness assessment model has been performed depending on a developed investigation form that used to investigate nine enterprises inside Saudi Arabia. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in assessing and comparing enterprises information security readiness at all levels of the model, using numerical indicators and graphical representations. The EISRM framework and the analytical models presented in this research can be used by enterprises as single point of reference for assessing and cost effectively improving their information security readiness.

Abstract:

AbstractWith the implementation of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a new wave of globalization is taking shape, promoting the growth of international service requirements, which requires pre-deployment of international infrastructure. The construction of international communications infrastructure is an important guarantee for China’s major international activities, external communication activities, and the normal operation of global and regional economies. International Communication Accesses is an important part of international infrastructure. The development and construction of international accesses is not an intrinsic mode, which involves many factors. It needs long-term planning and local adaptation; it relies on both the policy environment and basic network resources; it should consider both return on investment and convenience services. This document puts forward the future construction route of international communication accesses based on the analysis of factors including macro policies, geographical environments, service requirements, circuit quality improvement, transmission resources, fund support, and security assurance.

Abstract:

AbstractThe quantity of images generated at the edge of the Cloud is growing year-on-year, which puts an increasing strain on existing telecommunications infrastructure. There is also an associated increased cost for transmission bandwidth and storage of video images in the Cloud. In our modern society we tend to accumulate data, and are reluctant to throw it away, without asking “what is the value of this data?” and “do we need it?”. One of the major sources of video streams are the increasing number of traffic cameras, used to maintain the efficient flow of vehicles on our roads. In this work we focus on images taken from road traffic cameras, and show how their transmission bandwidth and storage requirements can be reduced. By analysing video feeds on a simulated edge device, we have shown that it is possible to extract objects of interest from the image, and discard or dramatically reduce irrelevant information in the content. Our technique also generates associated metadata, in the form of JSON-LD, which annotates the original image and maintains its semantic fidelity and provenance after compression. Our technique is compatible with conventional compression techniques, and thus the potential bandwidth savings would be incremental. We present the potential savings that can be made in the transmission and storage of unstructured data, as well as some of the challenges still to be overcome.

Abstract:

AbstractSoftware requirements specifications (SRS) serve as an important source of information for a variety of roles involved in software engineering (SE) projects. This situation poses a challenge to requirements engineers: Different information needs have to be addressed, which are strongly dependent on the particular role(s) that SRS stakeholders have within a project. This chapter summarizes the contributions of a thesis that aimed to address and reduce role-specific defects in SRS that negatively influence the efficient usage and acceptance of these documents. To achieve this goal, we collected empirical data about role-specific information needs in a series of empirical studies that served as a baseline for a secondary analysis toward the definition of role-specific views. Moreover, we realized a proof-of-concept implementation that is capable of generating role-specific views on SRS. The results of a case study revealed that role-specific views have the potential to efficiently support SRS consumers during the analysis of a given SRS. Besides conducting further empirical studies in industry, future work aims to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and requirements communication, especially in agile teams. Thereby, we are exploring synergy potential with best practices from non-SE disciplines.

Abstract:

AbstractWith the mass application of virtualization, micro-services, and cloud-native technologies, the interaction between service entities through APIs has become a norm. Many platforms are still maintaining a large number of old APIs due to business needs. At the same time, many new APIs are gradually going online. Both of these statuses put forward higher requirements for API security. Focusing on old APIs’ security protection and other issues, this article starts from the process of asset discovery, vulnerability detection, and security auditing. Aiming at the problem of API asset discovery, this article summarizes the technical methods of automatically clustering unowned API assets using the characteristics of various commonly used APIs. Aiming at new API vulnerability detection, a security analysis method based on finite state machine is proposed. For the first time, the cross-network communication taint propagation based on dynamic taint analysis technology and system-level simulation technology is realized, enabling sensitive data flow tracing in API communication become feasible. We designed a flowbased API security audit system to improve automated API protection. Finally, We analyzed technical opportunities and challenges of API security in detail and prospected for API security research’s next direction and development trend.

Abstract:

The design of complex systems is based on the needs and expectations of multiple stakeholders. Analysing such elements and transforming them into a rigorous system specification is a long and demanding task. This research is interested in supporting engineers and other stakeholders in the specification of system requirements with a focus on requirement analysis. The paper presents an approach to conduct analysis of non-functional requirements in a way that benefits both the engineers involved in the development of the current system, and those who will need to make improvements to it. The approach includes suggestions towards a tool, a representation, and a method. The tool is a software tool that specialises in capturing decision rationale known as Decision Rationale editor (DRed); the representation is adopted from the IBIS notation; the method is based on a model synthesised from literature on requirement analysis.

Abstract:

Materials, and therefore material selections, influence the sustainable impact of a product from beginning to end-of-life. With improved access to material information, product designers can attain newfound insight into the sustainability implications of their design decisions. Insight to lifecycle tradeoffs requires access to both upstream and downstream information at design time. This access can be facilitated by information transparency between the different information representations assumed by a product throughout its lifecycle. A well-constructed Material Information Model (MIM) can provide the necessary access, and therefore the desired insight. In this paper we present an initial set of requirements that a MIM for sustainability must support to provide the desired design-time information access. Using these requirements as guidelines, we then analyze several information representations currently available for information management at various stages of the lifecycle. We compare and contrast the extent to which these representations meet the information needs of the MIM, using example implementations as guidelines. We discuss the level to which information synthesis may be achieved given the varying degrees to which the MIM requirements are met. Finally, we introduce where synthesis challenges lie and the steps required to overcome them.

Abstract:

In today's society, "phubbers" are flooding the corners of society. Phubbers are people who nowadays "look down at the screen" whenever and wherever they are, trying to fill up their fragmented time by staring at the screen. The increasing popularity of smartphones has made them an indispensable tool in the lives of phubbers, who rely on them to bring them a variety of needs to meet. The news of traffic accidents caused by immersion in cell phones is common. This is no longer an individual encounter, but a group rule, and phubbers do have visual information barriers in traffic scenarios. In addition, prolonged daily exposure to cell phones and over-stimulation of the brain can make concentration incomplete. The limit of forward flexion (the state where the chin touches the sternum) can only be 45° when the head is bowed. If the forward flexion reaches 30°, it can affect the cervical spine. If the cervical spine is in an abnormal stable state of extreme forward flexion for a long time, it can cause damage to the cervical spine. Therefore, it is of practical significance to propose corresponding design strategies for the safety hazards and visual information barriers that exist in the traffic scenes of the phubbers.This thesis adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, firstly, based on the AEIOU analysis model and user behavior process, a specific analysis model is constructed for the behavior of phubbers crossing the road. It can make a more comprehensive analysis of the whole process of each contact point and crowd state and behavior in the scene, and the corresponding functional modules are derived. The functional modules mainly include the behavioral level, the physical and spiritual social level, and the environmental level. Among them, the behavioral level includes intersection reminder module, auditory reminder, remaining time reminder, and visual reminder within the line of sight of head down playing cell phone; the material and spiritual social level includes anxiety relief module, relief of unstable emotions, and personal safety module; the environmental level includes safe waiting area division, and obvious dynamic change stimulation. The Kano model was further applied to prioritize the functional modules, and the statistical analysis was used to determine the user-perceived importance and ranking of the listed functions, which finally led to the functional requirements of barrier-free crossing for phubbers. It provides a reference for future research on visual information accessibility design for phubbers and the development of accessible design for public transportation.

Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the requirement to be able to exchange or share data about assembly mating conditions between different computer systems. The challenge is that although drawing and solid model data can be exchanged between different systems, there are currently no methods of exchanging data about assembly mating conditions. A brief assessment of existing data exchange technologies is presented, the benefits of a canonical representation for mating conditions are discussed, and some of the information requirements that need to be satisfied are detailed. The requirement for a canonical representation is illustrated with a data model that satisfies the information requirements. An example of the use of the data model to describe a mating condition is presented.

Abstract:

The problems of creating and managing urban areas according to the approach called “intelligent’ are undoubtly one of leading challenges in contemporary world. A major part of published research from this range is focused on particular tasks of ‘environmental origin’, like sustainability, green economy, reverse economy or the “classic’ problem of protecting urban areas against various sorts of pollutions (air, water, soil, acoustic noise). But in the analysis of the literature sources authors of this paper have noticed that the problems of management is not enough often considered, especially in the context of collecting and processing ‘environmental’ data, obtainability of such data and - last but not least - using the information based on such data in procedures of managing the urban areas. In the introductory part of the papers the above mentioned problems are briefly presented as a background for further consideration. Next, the needs of environmental information in managing urban areas are identified as well as obtainability of such information. Authors have based the contents of this part of the paper on their own experiences from their project ‘Smart City: A Holistic Approach’ as well as on results of surveys carried out on a representative sample of Polish cities. Applying the developed by them model of stakeholder groups in Smart City, the authors presents in the third part of the paper some detailed proposals concerning both the requirements and manner of using the environmental information by various participants of Smart City projects. A special attention is paid on the meaning of environmental information in educational efforts. In the summary part of the paper, some perspectives for further research are briefly presented.

Abstract:

Introduction. Grief and bereavement include cognitive, affective and physical dimensions. Pre- and post-grief manifest at different times of coping with loss and bereavement. Contextualisation of information behaviour studies and comprehension of contextual components e.g. temporal and spatial factors, progression and phenomenal contexts of grief is essential for information interventions. Although agreement on the meaning of context might continue to escape information behaviour researchers, widely cited interpretations of context might be used to analyse a selective body of literature to direct grief and bereavement information behaviour studies. Method. Interpretations of context and situation by Savolainen (temporal and spatial factors), Fourie (multiplicity) and Dunne (person-in-progressive-situation) are, selectively applied to a thematic content analysis of papers on grief and bereavement. Phenomenal context is analysed in more detail. Analysis. A thematic content analysis matrix was developed. Results. The analysis revealed a minimum of ten contextual components to consider in information behaviour studies of grief and bereavement. Conclusion. Information behaviour studies on grief and bereavement should acknowledge the diversity of contexts and contextual components that impact on information needs, unique requirements for information such as memorabilia, information processing and sharing of information.

This paper focuses on the second step of a three-step design concept selection procedure: (step 1) identification and structuring of customer needs and constraints, (step 2) setting target product requirements using decision analysis, and (step 3) design concept selection using target product requirements as selection criteria. Particularly, this paper models and analyzes a decision problem of setting target product requirements by utilizing an influence diagram and a decision tree. Once the target product requirements are identified, engineers evaluate different design concepts in terms of how each concept satisfies the target product requirements. The next generation linear particle accelerator serves as an illustrative example.

Abstract:

In the past twenty years, a number of resources and tools to support inclusive design have been developed. However, the impact of these resources and tools on industry is not evident — few industrialists have been using them in practice. Investigations into industry have identified unmet needs, for example, the lack of appropriate user data relating to inclusive design. The fundamental problem is that few resources and tools have been developed based on rigorous requirements capture. In fact, many of them were developed only because the developers think the information could be useful. It is essential to prepare a detailed requirements list when clarifying the task at the product planning stage. This is also true for developing resources and tools for inclusive design. Requirements capture plays an important role in identifying real needs from users and developing appropriate methods of support for them. This paper starts with a survey of available resources and tools for inclusive design, and a discussion on their merits and deficiencies in respect to industry application. A number of methods are employed for the requirements capture for an inclusive design toolkit, which leads to a consistent result. An outline of the toolkit is also presented.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper identifies key requirements for an advanced engineering design information management system. With the advent of information management technology and design automation, the definition of Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems has evolved beyond the realm of geometric data to include support for a very wide range of activities of an intelligent design agent — such as definition, manipulation and analyses of complex information models of a product. These information models represent not only conventional product data associated with typical CAD applications (FEM, NC, Geometric models, etc.), but also design information characterizing correlations between the requirements, function, behavior and form dimensions of the design. The new generation of CAD systems are expected to provide the designer with capabilities for defining, manipulating and reasoning with such models. These new functionalities are important to individual designers, as well as organizations as the need to manage information as a corporate asset is becoming a a critical facet of corporate strategies. This paper explores these needs using design scenarios that trace the conceptual phases of design as well as the organization relevance to the design process. The first scenario deals with the innovative design of drilling applications for lunar environments, while the second scenario deals with the routine design of computer peripherals in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. These scenarios are used to elicit high level requirements, and subsequently the development of prototype systems. Preliminary results from the prototypes are presented herein.

Abstract:

This technical note (TN) will outline a framework to identify beneficial and cost-effective coastal beneficial use of dredged sediment (BUDS) projects. Creation of a BUDS framework that can be applied at scale will promote sustainable BUDS practices, facilitating the delivery of flood risk management, social, and environmental benefits while still fulfilling the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) navigation mission. This proactive forecasting approach uses multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and optimization tools to balance tradeoffs between navigation dredging and BUDS goals over project-scale timespans. The proposed framework utilizes available tools to quantify ecological system evolution and current and future dredging needs to develop a systems-level approach to BUDS. Required data include current and future information on (1) existing and planned natural and created aquatic ecological systems, which may include natural and nature-based features (NNBFs), (2) dredging requirements and costs, and (3) aquatic system physical and environmental data.

Abstract:

Swift changes in society, related to sciences technicians’ development, technologies, by the increase of general volume of information, pull out new requirements for maintenance, structure, and quality of education. It requires teachers to diversify a tool in the direction of the increase in possibilities of the use of mobile technologies and computer systems. Lately in the world, more attention spared to the use of mobile learning, which in obedience to «Recommendations of UNESCO on the questions of a policy in the area of mobile learning» foresees the use of mobile technology, both separate and together with other by informational computer technologies. [1]. Mobile learning allows using the open informational systems, global educational networks, unique digital resources which belong to different educational establishments and co-operate with each other. The use of existent educational resources and creation of own, based on the academic resources from informative space, allows to promote the interest of students to the study of physics, to take into account the individual features, and also features of region and framework of society of the country. During the last years in Ukraine competency-based approach to the organization of studies certainly one of basic. The new Education Act addresses the key competencies that every modern person needs for a successful life, including mathematical competence; competence in natural sciences, engineering, and technology; innovation; information and communication competence [2]. This further emphasizes the importance of providing students with quality physical education and the problems associated with it. Using mobile technology in professional teaching work, the teacher has the opportunity to implement the basic principles of the competence approach in teaching physics. An analysis of the data provided in the official reports of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment showed that the number of students making an external independent assessment in physics and choosing a future profession related to physics has decreased significantly. This is due to the loss of students' interest in physics and the complexity of the content of the subject, as well as the increase in the amount of information that students need to absorb. In this article, we explore the possibilities of mobile technology as a means of teaching physics students and give our own experience of using mobile technology in the process of teaching physics (for example, the optics section in primary school).

Abstract:

The NIJ Technology Working Group’s Operational Requirements (TWG ORs) for Fire and Arson Investigation have included several scientific research needs that require knowledge of the thermophysical properties of materials that are common in the built environment, and therefore likely to be involved in a fire scene. The specific areas of research include: adequate materials property data inputs for accurate computer models, understanding the effect of materials properties on the development and interpretation of fire patterns, and evaluation of incident heat flux profiles to walls and neighboring items in support of fire model validation. These topics certainly address, in a concise way, many of the gaps that limit the analysis capability of fire investigators and engineers. Each of the three aforementioned research topics rely, in part, on accurate knowledge of the physical conditions of a material prior to the fire, how the material will respond to the exposure of heat, and how it will perform once it has ignited. This general information is required to visually assess a fire scene. The same information is needed by investigators to estimate the evolution and consequences of a fire incident using a computer model. Data sources that are currently most commonly used to determine the required properties and model inputs are outdated and incomplete. This report includes the literature review used to provide a technical approach to developing a materials database for use in fire investigations and computational fire models. A summary of the input from the project technical panel is presented which guided the initial selection of materials to be included in the database as well as the selection of test measurements.

Abstract:

In FY 2021, the 22 federal agencies that reported did not add or rescind any GUS in lieu of VCS, therefore there remains a total of 80 previously reported GUS in lieu of VCS still in use. This analysis does not reflect the use of standards by the Department of Defense (DoD) or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as they report their use of GUS on a categorical basis via a different reporting mechanism. Agencies demonstrate the effectiveness of the NTTAA and Circular A-119 by their continuous review of opportunities to rescind GUS in favor of using VCS, and their involvement with the private sector through the VCS process. These activities suggest that federal agencies are cognizant of the benefits of meeting their mission needs by actively seeking to use VCS developed by the private sector. In accordance with its coordination role as defined in the NTTAA and OMB A-119, NIST continues to assist federal agencies and their stakeholders with standards and conformity assessment information, program support, guidance, and policy concerns. NIST hosts http://standards.gov, which offers ongoing practical guidance and information needed by agencies to implement the NTTAA successfully and report standards activities as required by the NTTAA and OMB Circular A-119. This report fulfills the annual reporting requirements of both the NTTAA and OMB Circular A-119.
