Tsurkan, Vasyl. "REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS METHOD OF INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS." Cybersecurity: Education, Science, Technique 1, no. 9 (2020): 149–58. http://dx.doi.org/10.28925/2663-4023.2020.9.149158.
Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
World wide the importance of Information Security Governance is demanding the attention of senior management. This is due to the ever-changing threat landscape requiring that organisations adopt a focussed approach towards the protection of information assets. Any successful approach towards Information Security Governance is dependant on the availability of relevant and timely research outputs. The research community working on Information Security Governance are diverse and appears to be mis-aligned with the needs of the business community. The problem that this paper addresses is twofold. Firstly, it addresses the confusion regarding the meaning of Information Security Governance. Secondly, it assesses the gap between research and business communities from an Information Security Governance perspective. This article analyses the requirements from the business community and mapped it against current research outputs. Findings clearly indicate that the two worlds are not entirely aligned and that in some cases minimum effort is being spent on the topics deemed important by the business community. Information Security Governance in general can benefit from an improved alignment between the needs of business and the outputs of the research community.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to elaborate the picture of the motivators for information behaviour by examining the nature of information need as a trigger and driver of information seeking. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual analysis was made by focussing on the ways in which researchers have conceptualised information need in models for human information behaviour (HIB). The study draws on conceptual analysis of 26 key studies focussing on the above topic. Findings Researchers have employed two main approaches to conceptualise information needs in the HIB models. First, information need is approached as a root factor which motivates people to identify and access information sources. Second, information need is approached as a secondary trigger or driver determined by more fundamental factors, for example, the information requirements of task performance. The former approach conceptualises information need as a trigger providing an initial impetus to information seeking, while the latter approach also depicts information need as a driver that keeps the information-seeking process in motion. The latter approach is particularly characteristic of models depicting information seeking as a cyclic process. Research limitations/implications As the study focusses on information need, no attention is devoted to related constructs such as anomalous state of knowledge and uncertainty. Originality/value The study pioneers by providing an in-depth analysis of the nature of information need as a trigger and driver of information seeking. The findings refine the picture of motivators for information behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
An attempt is made in this paper to clarify some of the ambiguities surrounding the topic of information requirements. Whereas current systems analysis practice is mainly concerned with determining the current and future information needs of the 'users' of the proposed information system, this study points out that the requirements process should begin much earlier - information requirements should indeed be derived from the overall strategic business plan of the organization. If an information system is to be successful over the longer term, it is not so much the needs of the user that should be determined, but rather the needs of the organization. For this purpose, strategic information system planning is indispensable. In effect this means that the development life-cycle of an information system starts earlier than indicated in current models. The consequences of this broader view of requirements definition for, inter alia, systems analysis are reviewed.

Full textAbstract:
As an organic whole with certain external connection and internal structure, information demand is restricted by social factors as well as individual factors because of its special stipulation. Under the combined action of different factors, the structure of information demand presents a dynamic changing process and various basic states. Different forms of information interaction style model and information requirement model are determined. According to this complex representation, a three-dimensional structure model is presented. On the basis of this model, the correlation among information requirement process stage, cognition and emotion is studied. The experimental results show that information requirement is excessive. The reliability and validity of the model are very high among process stage, cognition and emotion, and the result of the model is compared with the result of expert evaluation. The result of analysis is almost the same as that of expert analysis, which indicates that the three-dimensional structure model of teachers' information needs with different information interaction styles has certain application performance.

Based on the concept of market sharing, the author has developed Internet technology-based logistics distribution data exchange to control the cost of shipping to benefit the transfer for new types of management and operations. Investigate the needs of export shipments, such as external management responsibilities, requirements of management responsibilities, data recovery, and data recovery requirements, based on the current state of the shared platform model integration, and determine the business model. Based on this, three types of IoT cloud, such as single-center multiterminal, multicenter multiterminal, and data and application layer, can be completed and the Internet of Things can be defined by education. About the use of the cost of distribution, the transportation contract is to identify the needs of Internet technology-based logistics distributions and complete the construction of Internet technology-based logistics distribution information exchange platform. The results of the experiment showed that the results recorded in the test group did not differ from the actual results only twice, the level of difference was small, and the mean error was less than 1%. In terms of logistics distribution exposure, the average level of the assessment group is significantly higher than that of the management group, with a minimum collection rate of 90.07%, while the minimum value of the control group is as low as 76.32%. Compared with blockchain-based integration, Internet of Things technology-enabled sharing platforms can capture real-time data, transfer data, monitor shipping costs, and improve management and operations.

Full textAbstract:
Summary Objective : To elicit and analyze information needs of patients and primary care physicians (GPs) regarding the information services (static and functional) that a GP's practice website should provide. Methods : To find candidate information services, we conducted a literature search and examined primary care physicians' websites, especially Dutch websites. Semi-structured depth interviews with the stakeholders, Dutch patients and GPs, were done to arrive at a final checklist. We then conducted a survey to elicit the level of importance associated with each service on the checklist. The data underwent statistical analysis and relevant requirements were formulated. The requirements were then validated by interviews. General website quality and usability aspects were elicited from the literature. Results : The research resulted in a checklist of 38 selected information services including their priority ratings for patients and GPs; a discrepancy list between GP and patient priorities; and a requirements document containing information services (14 static and 6 functional), and general quality and usability aspects (8 and 5). Conclusion : The following items occurred in the top 10 of both user groups: general practice information, information of local public health institutions, self-help information, repeat prescription, links to health websites. At the bottom on both priority lists were: links to journals, tests and forums. Dutch GPs are much more selective in terms of which information services to provide on-line. Discrepancy between the two groups concerns on-line services that seem to require a change to the GP's workflow, or those services that are not recognized for reimbursing the GP. Although the Dutch patients' requirements seem to generalize to other patients, the conflict list might depend on the primary care system.

Some of the fundamental activities of the software development process are related to the discipline of Requirements Engineering. Their objectives are to discover, analyze, document, and verify the system’s requirements. The requirements are the conditions or capabilities that software needs to have or fulfill to meet its users’ needs, and problems in its identification can mean the failure of a software project. This study is part of the research that is being developed to propose a model based on Knowledge Organization Systems to be used in the Requirements engineering process. This article aims to present the results of an analysis on a set of Knowledge Organization Systems to identify whether they are likely to be applied in the Requirements engineering process and identify at which stage of this process each one of them can be implemented. The Knowledge Organization Systems analyzed were the authority files, gazetteers, glossaries, subject headings, classification systems, thesauri, semantic networks, and ontologies. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to conclude that the Knowledge Organization Systems analyzed can be used in the Requirements engineering process and, consequently, contribute to increasing the software requirements’ quality.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a conceptual model for improving the organization of user needs information in the big data environment. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual model of the organization of user needs information based on Linked Data techniques is constructed. This model has three layers: the Data Layer, the Semantic Layer and the Application Layer. Findings Requirements for organizing user needs information in the big data environment are identified as follows: improving the intelligence level, establishing standards and guidelines for the description of user needs information, enabling the interconnection of user needs information and considering individual privacy in the organization and analysis of user needs. Practical implications This Web of Needs model could be used to improve knowledge services by matching user needs information with increasing semantic knowledge resources more effectively and efficiently in the big data environment. Originality/value This study proposes a conceptual model, the Web of Needs model, to organize and interconnect user needs. Compared with existing methods, the Web of Needs model satisfies the requirements for the organization of user needs information in the big data environment with regard to four aspects: providing the basis and conditions for intelligent processing of user needs information, using RDF as a description norm, enabling the interconnection of user needs information and setting various protocols to protect user privacy.

ABSTRACT The ever dynamic nature of business environment, global competition and increasing requests for more quality products by stakeholders have caused organizations to understand that the only way of survival in the market is to deliver better quality products to meet stakeholders’ needs. Many organizations, therefore, spend considerable amounts of their funds in activities related to improving products and services. This study in its qualitative nature employs a phenomenological approach to explore how requirements engineering can be successfully and sustainably attained through critical understanding of stakeholders’ needs, wants and preferences. The phenomenological approach provides an introductory background on the consequences of poor requirements engineering and management and why its importance cannot be over emphasized for twenty first century business organizations operating in an hyper competitive environment. The review of literature through desk research further provides insights on various definitions of conceptualization of requirements engineering and management. Stakeholder theory was adopted as the underpinning theory since stakeholders are the principal contributors and creators of requirements within the development of a product. The study concludes that stakeholders are the basis for requirements engineering. Hence, the study recommends involvement of stakeholders early on, to elicit desires, information and feedback from them, and to satisfy their information and communication needs. This is to ensure smooth development and efficient requirements engineering process. Keywords: Requirements, Engineering, Management, Stakeholder, Strategy, Products

The industrial control system (ICS) inherits the attributes of the traditional information system, but because it has its own characteristics that availability of triad (CIA) of information security should be a top priority, it needs to be set differently from the traditional information security requirements. In response to the issue, TTAK.KO-12.0307 (Standard for Industrial Control System Information Security Requirements) proposed by the National Security Research Institute (NSRI) and established by the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) is being used. However, it is difficult to apply security requirements of TTAK.KO-12.0307 uniformly because of the reason that the characteristics of the ICS in each layer are different. There is also a limit to invest the security resources with equivalent priority for all requirements and ICS layers. It is still unresolved in the previous research studies which are related to information security resources, for example, Choi (2013), Ko et al. (2013), and Nah et al.’s (2016) studies. Therefore, this study tried to focus on what a top priority of information security requirements by the ICS in each layer is, using the analytic hierarchy process. As a result, we derived that the top priority requirement in the operation layer is “Identification Authentication Access Control,” in the control layer is “Event Response,” and in the field device layer is “Physical Interface Protection” with the highest importance. The results of this study can be utilized as a guideline for the security strategy and policy design by determining security requirements that should be prioritized in each layer of the ICS.

Full textAbstract:
User satisfaction with a product plays a direct role in the purchasing decisions. With the enrichment of material life and the growth of individual requirements, this satisfaction is derived from the requirement for functionality to aesthetics. Conventional product design methods normally focus on achieving the required functions where its design specifications are mainly related to certain functional or usability requirements. In recent years, researchers have made efforts to develop methods for supporting aesthetic design activities during the product conceptual design phase. However, most of these methods hardly consider product aesthetics or the consumers’ emotional needs. Therefore, this study proposed a user-driven conceptual design specification integrating functional reasoning with aesthetic information analysis. The method consisted of two tasks, the construction of a mapping model and the implementation of the mapping model. Firstly, the mapping model was constructed for capturing the relationships between initial design specifications and user experience (UX). Secondly, the proposed design specifications were selected, refined, and optimized based on the mapping model. A case study on digital camera design was carried out to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results showed that, compared with the initial design specification candidates, the UX was enhanced by applying the improved design specifications.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to indicate which information originating in accounting is important for ensuring the information transparency of bankruptcy proceedings. Methodology: Based on the literature review and the analysis of international legal acts, we determined priority types of information from accounting used in bankruptcy court proceedings. These types included information on the costs of insolvency proceedings, the assumption in the financial statements that there was no going concern, and the book value of assets. A survey was then conducted on a group of specialists in the field of bankruptcy. Findings: Respondents indicated information on the costs of bankruptcy proceedings as the most important. However, other accounting information under study also received a high assessment from insolvency specialists. The obtained assessments of individual quality features are characterized by high reliability confirmed by low standard errors. Research implications: Accounting evolves as a response to the information needs of accounting information users. Therefore, knowing these needs may contribute to changes in the requirements regarding the scope of information from accounting that is used in bankruptcy proceedings. Originality/value: In-depth knowledge of various aspects of the economic side of the bankruptcy phenomenon is part of the current trend in minimizing the negative effects of bankruptcy.

Full textAbstract:
According to the global growth of the “Blue economy”, coastal zones are under pressure from both land and marine side economic activities. The fragmentation of sectorial interests and legislation along the coasts has led to the need for bridging knowledge (data/information and methods/tools) and governance (decision-makers at every level) in order to ensure sustainable economic development and social and ecosystem resilience. This poses the need for an interaction process that associates user needs to the European and national legislative framework to create a policy-oriented demand of Copernicus Earth Observation services in coastal areas. Such goals need a strong and effective system to monitor compliance and to assess the progress of the legislation. This study aims at identifying potential gaps in the current Copernicus product offer for the monitoring of the coastal sector through the elicitation of stakeholder requirements. The methodology is applied to the Italian landscape of users, but it is scalable at European level. The results provide a clear overview of the coastal user requirements, highlighting the common need of integrated information for the management, and represents the basis for defining the coastal services.

Requirements elicitation is a key concern in information technology (IT) projects. Busi-ness intelligence systems (BI) have emerged and are now used widely in organizations. These systems are designed to support manager's decision-making in their business performance moni-toring activities and their requirements are very different from those of transactional systems. But past research did not consider these differences. Therefore, this paper relies on a comparative approach to assess differences in the level of use and perceived effectiveness of requirements analysis techniques in both business intelligence and transactional contexts. An exploratory quali-tative study was conducted with two phases of semi-structured interviews with experienced practitioners. Our results show that 28% of the techniques differ in their level of use or perceived effectiveness, thus demonstrating the specificity of decision makers' needs. Our results reveal the importance of using techniques appropriate to the context to adequately define requirements and improve projects’ success.

Purpose There are differing views and results in the literature regarding whether the user’s participation has a positive or negative impact, if any, on the success of an information system (IS) project. The purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive model with four main hypotheses to test the relationships between seven constructs using survey data conducted in the USA. Design/methodology/approach The authors develop a structural equation model (SEM) with four constructs defining the activities the user participates in and three constructs defining user satisfaction as a measure of project success. As such, the proposed SEM is the most comprehensive among the models offered in the literature to date, and includes, for the first time, a presentation requirement construct as a specific system requirement for possible user participation. Findings The authors find that a business user’s participation in functional requirements benefits project outcome, whereas business users should not participate in gathering presentation requirements unless they are experienced middle managers. Research limitations/implications This study surveyed many industries across the USA and provided a solid statistical base for analysis. Future research should consider exploring IS projects in other countries since various cultures can differ in how they approach to such projects. Additionally, industries are known to have dissimilar needs; therefore, a study exploring specific industries would add to the available research. Practical implications The authors find that when the general business user participates in certain activities that relate to presentation of the system, his/her involvement negatively impacts the project success. However, if that business user is a middle manager, he/she has a positive impact on the project success. Similarly, when the business user participates in managing the projects, that involvement negatively impacts the project outcome (although the amount of negative impact is relatively small). These results should have an influence on the way the IS project managers allocate business resources to activities, and their decisions regarding whether and where the business users participate. Social implications The authors expect higher levels of business user satisfaction on IS projects if they are allocated to a limited subset of project activities that has a positive impact on project outcomes. Originality/value The authors believe these findings contribute to this research domain considerably since they are based on a large sample size on a new comprehensive model of business users that can be generalized across industries. The separation of business requirements into functional and presentation requirements has suggested that there are differing impacts to the project depending on the type of business user involved.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The roles recommendation systems play in health care have become crucial in achieving effective care and in meeting the needs of modern care giving. As a result, efforts have been geared toward using recommendation systems in the management of chronic diseases. Effectiveness of these systems is determined by evaluation following implementation and before deployment, using certain metrics and criteria. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether consideration of criteria during the design of a recommendation system can increase acceptance and usefulness of the recommendation system. Design/methodology/approach Using survey-style requirements gathering method, the specific health and technology needs of people living with chronic diseases were gathered. The result was analyzed using quantitative method. Sets of harmonized criteria and metrics were used along with requirements gathered from stakeholders to establish relationship among the criteria and the requirements. A matching matrix was used to isolate requirements for prioritization. These requirements were used in the design of a mobile app. Findings Matching criteria against requirements highlights three possible matches, namely, exact, inferential and zero matches. In any of these matches, no requirement was discarded. This allows priority features of the system to be isolated and accorded high priority during the design. This study highlights the possibility of increasing the acceptance rate and usefulness of a recommendation system by using metrics and criteria as a guide during the design process of recommendation systems in health care. This approach was applied in the design of a mobile app called Recommendations Sharing Community for Aged and Chronically Ill People. The result has shown that with this method, it is possible to increase acceptance rate, robustness and usefulness of the product. Research limitations/implications Inability to know the evaluation criteria beforehand, inability to do functional analysis of requirements, lack of well-defined requirements and often poor cooperation from people living with chronic diseases during requirements gathering for fear of stigmatization, confidentiality and privacy breaches are possible limitations to this study. Practical implications The result has shown that with this method, it is possible to isolate more important features of the system and use them during the design process, thereby speeding up the design and increasing acceptance rate, robustness and usefulness of the system. It also helps to see in advance the likely features of the system that will enhance its usefulness and acceptance, thereby increasing the confidence of the developers in their ability to deliver a system that will meet users’ needs. As a result, developers know beforehand where to concentrate their efforts during system development to ascertain the possibility of increasing usefulness and acceptance rate of a recommendation system. In addition, it will also save time and cost. Originality/value This paper demonstrates originality by highlighting and testing the possibility of using evaluation criteria and metrics during the design of a recommender system with a view to increasing acceptance and enhancing usefulness. It also shows the possibility of using the metrics and criteria in system’s development process for an exercise other than evaluation.

Attendance is an important factor in maintaining the quality of an employee's performance in a company. With technological advances such as nowadays, the ease of attendance can also be carried out easily, the use of the old attendance system is also considered less effective in today's era, employees need efficiency in the absent process, as implemented by Indosurya Finance's Solo Baru branch which has left the old system attendance , where the previous abscess system used the signature system, the block card system, and the fingerprint system. In this old system, the majority of employees worked not only in the office having difficulty meeting clients outside the office at any time, because they had to come to the office if they wanted to be absent. Therefore the company replaced it with a new system, namely using an application called Great Day HR. With a modern employee attendance system like this, it can help companies make arrangements for existing human resources and the purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of an attendance system using Great Day HR for the future. The method in this research is through observation, interview, documentation, and literature study. The system design is made with context diagrams, HIPO, DAD, input output design, hardware requirements analysis, software requirements analysis. By using this online attendance system employees can perform attendance efficiently and effectively according to the needs of each employee. The final result of this online attendance system is an attendance recap data from each user owned by Indosurya Finance employees.

Analysis using the Vegetation Sampling Protocol (VSP) pilot data collected in the Lake Simcoe watershed (2011) was done to assess the protocol's effectiveness in supporting natural heritage monitoring for the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP). The VSP data was analyzed and assessed in the context of information needs for forest management and conservation. Specific information needs to support forest management are used as a criterion for stand analysis. While a variety of inventory approaches and methods are used in the Lake Simcoe watershed, most are done for specific purposes or lack necessary stand-level, compositional and structural information to inform biodiversity reporting, monitoring, and other management objectives of the LSPP. The study has shown that VSP plot data can be used to meet the requirements of the LSPP and further support the requisite information for active forest management. Stand analyses provide insight into the varying conditions of the Lake Simcoe watershed forests and can steer future analysis and comparisons.

Full textAbstract:
Elasticity in an imprecise requirement needs to be captured to enable the trade-off analysis of conflicting requirements. One of the most important issues in the trade-off analysis of conflicting requirements is to understand their priorities. Requirement analysts need to know not only the relative ordering of requirements based on their importance but also how much a requirement is more important than another requirement in order to achieve an effective trade-off between conflicting requirements. Existing formal methods for requirement engineering are limited in addressing these issues. This paper presents a formal methodology for reasoning about their priority by analyzing the customer’s trade-off preference among imprecise conflicting requirements. The elasticity in imprecise requirements is captured using fuzzy logic. Conflicting and cooperative relationships are classified to detect the conflicts between requirements. Multiple requirements are combined based fuzzy multi-criteria decision making techniques. We have also developed a possibilistic reasoning framework for inferring the lower bound of relative priority from case analysis. Consistency and nonredundancy criteria are established to facilitate the aggregation of possibilistic statement on the lower bounds of relative priority. Finally, we describe a process for transforming the lower bounds of relative priority into weights of importance so that they can be used in the aggregation of conflicting requirements to resolve conflicts.

In the modern world, one of the most urgent tasks in the field of improving the efficiency of the workflow is to automate the activities of various structural divisions in the organization. Automation of activities leads to a reduction in paper document flow, reduction of errors in work related to the human factor, reduction of time to search for the necessary information, as well as an increase in the efficiency of employees. Information systems serve as the optimal mechanism for automating the above-mentioned needs. In addition, information systems allow you to quickly get up-to-date data from various departments in the organization and use the information obtained for management purposes, as well as store large amounts of information and data. Automation of work with information also allows you to conduct analytical work, in particular on the study of the psychological state of employees of the organization, monitoring of cognitive processes. The basis for the development of an information system for recording employee data was a detailed study of the modern business community, as well as offers on the software market in the field of automation of personnel service employees. The identified basic needs for information and data when informatizing the activities of employees in various organizations or companies allowed the authors to develop an information system that meets all modern requirements.

The act of classifying information created by accounting practices is ubiquitous in the accounting process; from recording to reporting, it has almost become second nature. The classification has to correspond to the requirements and demands of the changing environment in which it is practised. Evidence suggests that the current classification of items in financial statements is not keeping pace with the needs of users and the new financial constructs generated by the industry. This study addresses the issue of classification in two ways: by means of a critical analysis of classification theory and practices and by means of a questionnaire that was developed and sent to compilers and users of financial statements. A new classification framework for accounting information in the balance sheet and income statement is proposed.

With recent advancements of technologies such as Internet of Things and cloud computing, security of information systems has emerged as a critical issue. This has created a need for elicitation and analysis of the security requirements at an early stage of system development. These requirements should also be expressed using visual notations that can encapsulate the vision of different stakeholders related to security. While business process management notation (version 2.0.2) is a widely used graphical representation for business requirements and makes it easier to define and communicate business processes between different stakeholders of the system. Moreover, extension mechanisms are available to model the specific needs of an organization. Due to its flexible structure for defining new extensions, it can be adapted to model security requirements in the information system (IS). Towards this, we propose a threat profile security framework to define the security requirements of manufacturing systems for businesses, which are at a stage of infancy to adapt or evolve the IS with the changing needs of a business environment. In particular, the framework is modeled by extending Business Process Management Notation and is applied in a manufacturing industry process at the shop floor level. We show through a case study example that the threat goal-based framework is broader and, hence, covers a majority of security concerns of organizations.

This study purpose has been to identify the character of teachers’ information addresses to the sources of the State Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPSTL SB RAS) and Novosibirsk State Regional Scientific Library (NSRSL).The analysis of teachers’ information needs, based on job responsibilities and knowledge requirements according to the Unified Qualification Directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees, has divided them into three categories: doctors of sciences, candidates of sciences and teachers without a scientific degree. The analysis of SPSTL SB RAS statistics has shown that among teachers who signed up for the library in the period 2016–2021, the share of candidates of sciences is 47,9%, doctors of sciences among teachers – users of the library is 9,6%. If considered by specialty, readers-teachers are mainly representatives of humanitarian (43%), technical (16%) and economic (11%) ones.The analysis of demands has shown that teachers’ information needs are satisfied with the help of book publications, among which textbooks especially stand out. About 30,5% of circulation are books published before 1991. Need for information in their subject area is one of the basic factors that bring teachers into libraries. The analysis of statistics has shown that candidates of sciences most often turn to electronic resources, and this category of teachers also has the highest demand for exhibitions, open funds, references, xerocopying and the Internet class services.In the whole, we can ascertain a comparatively high level of information needs satisfaction in the subject area. The average level of satisfaction is the need for information about teaching the subject methodology and information of a general pedagogical nature. Low level of satisfaction are needs for information related to the organization of the educational system.

Full textAbstract:
Authors represent analysis of the methods of structural synthesis and customization of the information system software. It is indicated that modern methods do not satisfy the requirements for effective adaptation of software for time-varying end-user requirements. It is shown that when developing formal graph models of software architecture using existing methods, evolutionary changes in end-user requirements are usually not considered, which leads to difficulties in solving the problem of customization. The mismatch betweenthe capabilities of existing design technologies and the practical needs to adapt software leads to the problem of developing effective formal approaches to customization. The analysis of the methods confirms the relevance of solving the problem of developing effective formal approaches to customization of software, taking into accountthe specifics of a particular enterprise and a particular workplace by using tier-parallel graph models of softwarearchitecture.
