Texto completoResumen
Modern society receives a relatively big part of information using information communication devices. Information search possibilities are rapidly growing. On the other hand, the amount of information itself is expanding. One of the quickest ways of finding information is using internet search engines, e.g., “Google”, “Yahoo”, “AltaVista” and others. Their usage undoubtedly makes big influence on education. Pupils’ ability to find the necessary information is highly relevant. Thus, information search literacy is an inseparable component of general education. It is not enough only to find information, it is necessary to use it in the most effective way. Seeking to improve pupils’ information skills, it is necessary to know current position of an analysed question. The object of this research is information search using ICT. The aim of the research is to analyse how comprehensive school upper class students use ICT for information search. It has been ascertained by a research what additional information sources pupils use, where and how they get necessary literature, what information search engines and what electronic information sources they use most frequently. At least a few times per week apart from textbooks respondents use other literature as well (books, dictionaries, handbooks) for learning purposes. They use encyclopaedias very seldom or don’t use them at all. Pupils usually read books and newspapers which they have at home. They also use internet and library service; however, it is not popular to borrow books from friends or buy them. Pupils use internet daily both for leisure and learning. Girls more often than boys use internet for learning and for leisure – they use it equally. Respondents usually search information through Google search engine, less frequently – through Delfi. The other search engines and catalogues mentioned in the questionnaire are used very seldom, especially HotBot, Penki, On.lt and others. Both girls and boys, town and region pupils equally use search engines and catalogues. From electronic information sources respondents most frequently use internet encyclopaedia Wikipedia. Internet books and e magazines are read once a month on average, virtual library is scarcely used. It is absolutely not popular to use such sources as Nerandu.lt, tingiu.lt, Speros.lt. Key words: comprehensive school, electronic information sources, ICT, information search.

Research into service management has revealed concepts and ideas which may be usefully applied in other management settings. In order to evaluate their potential relevance to managing information technology (IT), several aspects of service management are explored, including the nature of service products, customer-supplier contact, the design of service delivery systems, and measuring and achieving service quality. Some ideas have already been applied to IT, but others could also be relevant. These include examining contacts between users and IT specialists, using process flow charts to design IT services, and employing service quality measures in IT management. A general model is proposed for managing IT service quality; the application of this model at the strategic level of firms is examined.

Information system is one of the most important things that can help every companies to improve the performance of their company. The Directorate Generate of the Treasury is one of the government agencies that already use information systems to support their performance to handle the entire transaction of state budgeting and also they provides information systems to serve their users. That system must have a priority of the security and reliability. To ensure that the system has both of the priority, it is necessary to holding of the information systems auditing to ensure that capability level of their governance. The author doing the audit of information system using framework of COBIT 5.0 and doing measurements with Capability Level. EDM 01 (Ensure Governance Framework Setting and Maintenance) and EDM 02 (Ensure Benefits Delivery) are the two main processes of that government needs to do an audit, because they want to make sure that the system can running well and can deliver every benefits to their users. Based on the measurements that have been done using a capability level, both of the main processes are stalled on level 4 and could not reach the level of target on level 5 because there are some activities that cannot going well and can be inhibit the others process to reach their goals.

The importance of information technology and technology is felt to be important to empower villages. So that it is expected to be able to maximize the use of cross-sectoral development ranging from the economy, health, education, to local government management. Information Technology has been widely used to support business processes that occur in companies, both in the economic and banking fields. With the presence of applications and services for e-business, e-commerce, e-banking and others. The need for time and cost efficiency causes every business person to feel the need to apply information technology in the work environment. In agricultural economics, farm yields, crop yields, or very often abbreviated as yields, are quantities that describe the amount of agricultural harvested products obtained in one area of land in one production cycle.

Paradoxes of using technology imply phenomena where the same option of a particular technological device both improves and undermines the well-being of people. In this paper, we deal with the present-absent paradox, which is related to the freed-enslaved paradox. The phenomenon of absent presence is examined in contemporary research through two constructs: technoference and phubbing. The general model of the effects of using information and communication technology on the relationships assumes that disrupting interactions leads to conflict; conflict lowers relational well-being, also lowering personal well-being. At the same time, the person becomes attached to the device, usually the telephone, and is “enslaved.” Specific models are also offered as part of the phubbing test. The paper also summarizes the results of empirical research on the two phenomena to illustrate specific, confirmed effects the use of ICT devices has on the relationship with others and personal wellbeing. Conscious use of technology could significantly reduce the repercussions, but this also seems a kind of paradox.

Technology plays a major role in the development of the economy of a country and in general in organizations. It is known that it is used in the massive media, the Internet, known by society, which favors all, in this case banking, which allows its users facilities as the constant development of technology and easy setup supports, and also neglecting safety. In addition to the vulnerabilities in the configuration, technology, humans, applications, platforms, among others; exploited by Cybercriminals organizations operating at an international level, causing incalculable losses to the banking system, the worrying thing is that is growing. However, some banks are required to meet minimum safety standards, there will always be risks, in this way it won´t be possible to achieve information security one hundred percent.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis aims to study Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a General Purpose Technology (GPT) and their role in the labor productivity evolution in the United States and Europe during recent decades. This thesis is organized in three parts corresponding to the fundamental GPT features: the wide possibilities for development, the ubiquity of the technology and the ability to create large technological opportunities. The first part depicts, at first, the innovation in ICT, beginning with a short historical review of ICT inventions followed by the analysis of current data on innovation in this field. In particular, it shows how the US was better than the European countries in inventing ICT until now. Second, this first part makes an inventory of measurement difficulties due to the rate and the nature of the change created by such technologies. The second part of the thesis deals with the ubiquitous nature of ICT. It first describes the ICT diffusion across countries and industries and reviews the economic literature on the direct contribution of ICT on labor productivity growth in the US and Europe. The next chapter studies the factor demand's behaviour in sectors that are either ICT producers or ICT intensive users. The third part focuses on the ICT ability to create opportunities for complementarity innovations. Firstly, it identifies the nature of ICT complementary innovations and the corresponding efforts. It shows, then, that national accounts must be improved in order to take these efforts into account as investments. Secondly, this part shows that, among the eleven European countries studied, the problem is highly concentrated in a few countries that invest less both in ICT and in innovative assets and that these two types of effort are complementary.

Ilharco, Fernando. "Information technology as ontology : a phenomenological investigation into information technology and strategy in-the-world". Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2002. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/299/.
Texto completoResumen
This dissertation offers a phenomenological approach to the comprehension of Information Technology (IT) and Strategy, and of the relationships between these two phenomena. We argue that in order thoughtfully to understand the manifold connections between IT and Strategy, their contradictions, shortcomings, and possibilities, one has to rely on the essence of each of these phenomena. The rationale of this approach implied the need to make explicit the ontological assumptions on which the investigation relies. An essential uncovering of that which IT and Strategy are can only take place as long as we lay bare a primary position on the nature of that which is. Martin Heidegger's Being and Time and, to a lesser extent, the theory of autopoiesis are the foundations of this investigation. We claim that these theories are paradigmatically consistent and show relevant complementarities, namely in what concerns the issues of action information, and knowledge. The matching of these two theories provides the ontological and epistemological grounds of the investigation. Within this fundamental setting we argue that IT and Strategy will only essentially show up as long as they are accessed in-the-world in which they are. The research applies the phenomenological method of investigation in its original form as developed by Edmund Husserl. However we extend the Husserlian formulation in a last phase by using the arguments of Heidegger on the opening up of possible concealed meanings of phenomena. The method sets the boundaries of the research. IT and strategy are phenomenological analysed not as empirical objects, event, or states of affairs, but as intentional objects of consciousness. These are formally indicated from the outset of the investigation as the ITness of IT and the Strategyness of Strategy. The central conclusions of the investigation are that (1) IT is an ontological phenomenon substantively penetrating the being-in-the-world we, ourselves, are; and, (2) Strategy, essentially choosing to choose, has been unfolding throughout History guided by the concealed meaning of a striving for an authentic identity. These essential notions uncover a complex set of relationships between the phenomena. Those relationships are thus described and characterised. We also show that although phenomenology is not empirical its results have many important implications for the empirical world.

New information technology (IT) developments continue to have a significant impact on the Architectural/Engineering/Construction (A/E/C) industry. However, the issue of whether A/E/C organizations are receiving adequate returns from their IT investments remains an important managerial concern. Recently, Pefia-Mora, Vadhavkar, Perkins, and Weber introduced a strategic IT planning framework for construction companies, which is composed of four steps: environmental scan, internal scrutiny, IT diffusion analysis, and IT investment modeling. It analyzes the external and internal IT conditions of a firm, defines the diffusion stage of IT in a firm and finally, evaluates the effects of investments on IT projects. This thesis examines the validity of applying the above-mentioned framework to the Japanese construction industry and in greater detail to Japanese general contractors, using the Kajima Corporation, one of the largest general contractors in Japan, as a case study. The Kajima Corporation is currently developing an IT project called Linkage of Information for a New Construction System (henceforth LINCS). This synthetic information network system connects design with construction work. By using the strategic IT planning framework, I evaluate LINCS in terms of its strategy and the effects of Kajima's investment on this system.

Texto completoResumen
This study proposes a new model for the assessment of information technology (IT) use in public and private companies, which is called ITMEM- Information Technology Management Enhancement Model. This model aims to assist decision making processes in information technology management. For this purpose, a tool is developed to explore strengths and weaknesses of a company in IT use. The model was developed upon a three-folded structure including (1) academic studies in technology management, (2) best practices which are developed for control over operations and processes including COBIT, CMMI and ITIL, and (3) standards about IT management and IT security. The conceptual framework of ITMEM is based on technology management process assessment model of M.J. Gregory. Methodological triangulation approach is adopted for the model for retrieving valid and reliable results. Triangulation consists of (1) semi structured interview, (2) presented company documents and (3) questionnaire developed upon relevant academic researches, best practices and standards. ITMEM was practiced on ten domestic and experienced companies in software &development and manufacturing industries which were appraised in or in progress of being appraised in CMMI. The study revealed the benefits and deficiencies of IT use in the company. It also provided information for decision makers about IT value within companies, and demonstrated the effects of best practices and standards over IT use.The reported findings should be valuable assets to researchers studying on IT management and IT use in organizations.

Zhu, Ping. "Quantifying information flow with constraints". Thesis, City University London, 2010. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/12101/.
Texto completoResumen
Quantifying flow of information in a program involves calculating how much information (e.g. about secret inputs) can be leaked by observing the program's public outputs. Recently this field has attracted a lot of research interest, most of which makes use of Shannon's information theory, e.g. mutual information, conditional entropy, etc. Computability entails that any automated analysis of information is necessarily incomplete. Thus quantitative flow of analyses aim to compute upper bounds on the sizes of the flows in a program. Virtually all the current quantitative analyses treat program variables independently, which significantly limits the potential for deriving tight upper bounds. Our work is motivated by the intuition that knowledge of the dependencies between program variables should allow the derivation of more precise upper bounds on the size of flows, and that classical abstract interpretation provides an effective mechanism for determining such dependencies in the form of linear constraints. Our approach is then to view the problem as one of constrained optimization (maximum entropy), allowing us to apply the standard technique of Lagrange multiplier method. Application of this technique turns out to require development of some novel methods due to the essential use of non-linear (entropy) constraints, in conjunction with the linear dependency constraints. Using these methods we obtain more precise upper bounds on the size of information flows than is possible with existing analysis techniques.

Cette thèse a pour objet l'étude des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (TIC) en tant que Technologie Générique (TG) ainsi que leur rôle dans l'évolution de la productivité du travail aux Etats-Unis et en Europe durant les dernières décennies. La thèse est constituée de trois parties axées chacune sur l'une des trois propriétés fondamentales des TG: le progrès rapide de la technologie, l'ubiquité de la technologie et la capacité à créer des opportunités technologiques. La première partie décrit, dans un premier chapitre, l'innovation dans le domaine des TIC, en commençant par un bref historique de ces technologies, suivie d'une analyse des données contemporaines sur l'innovation dans ce domaine. Elle montre en particulier comment les Etats-Unis ont été, jusqu'à présent, plus performants que les pays Européens dans le développement des TIC. Dans un deuxième chapitre, cette première partie inventorie les difficultés de mesures induites par la vitesse et la nature du changement généré par ces technologies. La seconde partie de la thèse traite de la nature ubiquitaire des TIC. Elle décrit d'abord la diffusion des TIC au cours du temps à travers les pays et les secteurs économiques, puis, établit une revue de la littérature sur la contribution directe de la diffusion des TIC à la croissance de la productivité du travail aux US et en Europe. Le second chapitre de cette partie s'intéresse au comportement de demande de facteurs de production dans les secteurs producteurs de TIC ou intensifs en utilisation des TIC. Enfin, la troisième partie de la thèse se concentre sur la capacité des TIC à générer des opportunités d'innovation. Pour cela elle identifie d'abord la nature des innovations complémentaires et les efforts menant à ces innovations. Elle montre alors la nécessité d'améliorer la comptabilité nationale afin de prendre en compte ces efforts comme des investissements. Cette partie révèle ensuite que, dans les onze pays européens étudiés, le problème est particulièrement concentré sur quelques pays qui investissent peu en TIC et en actifs innovants et que ces deux types d'efforts sont complémentairesThis thesis aims to study Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a General Purpose Technology (GPT) and their role in the labor productivity evolution in the United States and Europe during recent decades.

Texto completoResumen
When a computer program requires legitimate access to confidential data, the question arises whether such a program may reveal sensitive information to an unauthorised observer. There is therefore a need to ensure that a program, which processes confidential data, is free of unwanted information flow. This thesis presents a formal framework for the analysis and enforcement of secure information flow in computational systems such as computer programs. An important aspect of the problem of secure information flow is the development of policies by which we can express intended information release. For this reason information lattices and maps on these lattices are presented as models, which capture intuitive notions about information and information flow. A definition of security is given, based on the lattice formalisation of information and information flow, that exploits the partial order of the information lattice. The lattice formalisation gives us a uniform way to enforce information security policies under various qualitative and quantitative representations of information. An input-output relational model, which describes how a system transforms its input to publicly observable outputs with respect to a given attacker model, is presented as a primitive for the study of secure information flow. By using the relational model, various representations of information, which are shown to fit into the lattice model of information, are derived for the analysis of information flow under deterministic and nondeterministic system models. A systematic technique to derive the relational model of a system, under a given attacker model, from the operational semantics in a language-based setting, is also presented. This allows the development of information flow analyses parametrised by chosen attacker models. A flow-sensitive and termination-sensitive static analysis calculus is presented for the analysis of information flow in programs written in a deterministic While language with outputs. The analysis is shown to be correct with respect to an attacker model that is able to observe all program outputs and which can determine the termination or nontermination of program execution. The static analysis also detects certain disjunctive information release. A termination-sensitive dependency analysis is developed which demonstrates how, by employing abstract interpretation techniques, other less precise but possibly more efficient information flow analysis may be obtained. The thesis concludes with further examples to highlight various aspects of the information flow analysis and enforcement framework developed.

Texto completoResumen
The main goal for IS/IT projects is the successful and timely delivery which meets their planned performance and objectives. However, IS/IT projects frequently fail. It has been reported that, on average, IS systems are delivered one year behind schedule, only I% of projects finish on time and within budget. This highlights the need for a model capable of determining the state of readiness of organisations prior to their implementation of an IS/IT project. This model should be able to show the way of improving organizational readiness to increase the likelihood of a successful implementation of such a project. In spite of the recognition of the main factors which can affect the success of IS/IT, tools do not exist that addresses those factors in an integrated manner. The primary aim of this research is to produce a general practitioner measurement tool that assists organisations in identifying the readiness gap before the initiation of a new ISAT project, and suggests guidelines for improvements. This research is also concerned with the establishment of an evaluation framework for ISAT. This framework presents a measurement of the success of IS/IT projects at the business level. Both the evaluation framework and the general practitioner model would help organizations to predict the level of success of IS/IT projects in meeting their business objectives. In order to achieve the aims and objectives of this research a thorough review of previous related literature from different disciplines was carried out in order to first build the IS/IT evaluation framework. The literature covered fields such as IS/IT success literature, organisational effectiveness, strategic planning, communication thcories, marketing, maturity models and ISAT measurement. The framework was then verified and modified by an exploratory field work in nine organisations from which the general practitioner model was established. To verify and test the model, qualitative non-experimental approach was conducted using in-depth case studies in four different organisations utilising triangulation of data collection methods that uses observation, structured interviews, unstructured interviews, historical data collection, and document review.

Texto completoResumen
The management of adverse events within organisations has become a pressing issue as the perceptions of risk continue to heighten. However the basic need for developing secure information systems has remained unfulfilled. This is because the focus has been on the means of delivery of information, i.e. the technology, rather than on the various contextual factors related to information processing. The overall aim of this research is to increase understanding of the issues and concerns in the management of information systems security. The study is conducted by reviewing the analysis, design and management of computer based information in two large organisations - A British national Health Service Hospital Trust and a Borough Council. The research methodology adopts an interpretive mode of inquiry. The management of information systems security is evaluated in terms of the business environment, organisational culture, expectations and obligations of different roles, meanings of different actions and the related patterns of behaviour. Findings from the two case studies show that an inappropriate analysis, design and management of computer based information systems affects the integrity and wholeness of an organisation. As a result, the probability of occurrence of adverse events increases. In such an environment there is a strong likelihood that security measures may either be ignored or are inappropriate to the real needs of an organisation. Therefore what is needed is coherence between the computer based information systems and the business environment in which they are embedded. In conclusion, this study shows that to resolve the problem of managing information systems security, we need to understand the deep seated pragmatic aspects of an organisation. Solutions to the problem of security can be provided by interpreting the behavioural patterns of the people involved.

AbstractIn recent years, the rapid development of GIS, remote sensing, big data and other spatial information technologies have provided a huge driving force for the information construction and development of many industries. As an important branch of transportation field, inland water transportation also has great development opportunities in information construction. Since the second National Inland Waterway Census, great changes have taken place in the current situation of China’s inland waterway. It is urgent to carry out a new round of National Inland Waterway Census and comprehensively find out the current situation of China’s inland waterway. This paper comprehensively discusses the current situation of the application of spatial information technology in the general census of resources in typical industries. This paper also summarizes the basic situation of Inland Waterway Census in China, and analyzes the key and difficult points of the application of spatial information technology in Waterway Census data acquisition, working base map compilation, application achievement display and so on. It initially puts forward the technical scheme of channel resources census based on information means and online system. Compared with the traditional offline census, the technical scheme proposed in this study has achieved a breakthrough in improving the efficiency of census and ensuring the quality of census results. The research can provide technical reserves and experience for the general survey of channel resources for the whole country and all the provinces.

Abstract The basic premise of this book is that information technology can and does produce value for the organization. Firms rarely reduce their stock of technology; they continually add new applications. Occasionally an organization replaces and updates existing applications, but in general the amount of technology in firms is constantly increasing. While an estimated 50 percent of capital spending in the United States is for technology, the total stock of IT is estimated at about 2 percent to 5 percent of all assets. If you add the cost of software, telecommunications, and other office equipment, the total gets to almost 12 percent of assets (Gibbs 1997). Many of the companies discussed in this book find technology to be a pervasive element in their operations. Firms like VeriFone, Calyx and Corolla, Chrysler, and many others depend on the technology to operate.

In Part I of this book, by reporting on our own research and reflecting on the writings of others, we offer evidence of the changes that the professions are facing. In these opening chapters, however, we do not provide an explanation of why this transformation is taking place. That is our purpose now, in Part II of the book. Our aim is to provide a more general and systematic account of what is going on. We advance a variety of theories and models that explain the evidence we have uncovered and suggest how these may help us predict what is yet to unfold. Our initial focus in this chapter is on what we call the ‘information substructure’ of society, and how this influences the way that human beings have shared practical expertise in the past and are likely to do so in the future. Then we turn to technology, and talk about the worth of making predictions. Our conclusions here help us to identify what we regard as the four most important sets of future developments in technology. In concluding this chapter, we present a fifty-year overview of the changing impact of technology on the professions. This then sets us up for Chapter 5, where we discuss the nature of knowledge, the evolution of professional work, and the models for the production and distribution of practical expertise that will displace the traditional working practices of professionals. In everyday conversation, people often now use the terms ‘technology’ or ‘tech’ more often than ‘information technology’ and ‘IT’. This emphasis on the technical angle is understandable, because the technological accomplishments that underpin our everyday devices are remarkable. The technology can be mesmerizing, both in its power and design, and we justifiably marvel at the genius and ingenuity of those who contribute to its development. But to focus exclusively on the ‘T’ rather than on the ‘I’, to neglect the ‘information’ in our wonder at the ‘technology’, runs the risk of failing to grasp the role and value of information—in our world generally, and especially in the professions.

Every interaction and all coordination in economic processes is based upon communication. The exchange of information necessarily requires both the sender and receiver of a message to use a mutual language or set of communications standards. Communications standards can be generally defined as rules which provide the basis for interaction between actors (man, as well as machine). These rules must be known or determined ex ante, i.e. before communication begins. If n actors bilaterally agree to a set of communications standards, then n•(n-1)/2 rules must be defined. Such a Babylonian cacophony of languages rarely leads to an efficient exchange of information, however. The uniqueness of communications standards lies in their solely bilateral functionality; they work only when both the sender and the receiver of a message use identical or at least compatible standards. This basic principle for the use of communications standards applies to natural languages as well as to EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for the electronic transfer of business documents or to network protocols like TCP/IP, for example. Thus, the decision to implement a standard is necessarily tied to the standardization decision of the communications partners. The user’s benefit from a given standard generally increases with the number of other users. This phenomenon— the increase of utility derived from a good as the number of users increases—is known as a positive network effect, or demand-side economies of scale, in economic terms. See for example Katz & Shapiro (1985) or Farrell & Saloner (1988). Network effects lead to the interdependence of decisions regarding communications standards by otherwise completely independent actors. This interdependence results in coordination problems because actors, such as firms, do not know in advance when which standards will be implemented by other firms, if at all. Our research focuses on the examination of alternative forms of coordination and their impact on the selection of communications standards. We have developed two models for evaluating different coordination designs, differentiating between centralized and decentralized coordination of standardization decisions. These models can also be used to analyze and evaluate further cooperation forms between participants in communication networks. We based the economic parameters of the models and the discussion of their implications on empirical research. To gain information about the use of software standards in enterprises, we conducted a comprehensive empirical survey, both in Germany and the U.S.A. It focuses on the corporate adoption and use of various Information Technology (IT) standards, including Internet and electronic commerce standards, business software and EDI.

This chapter describes a general software-based approach to conducting online Web research through the development of a custom research tool. Specifically, the tool is an Internet Explorer-like Web browser that can be designed to deliver experimental treatments and to collect experimental data with great precision and flexibility. The purpose of the manuscript is to introduce this approach to Web-based research, and to discuss the most salient issues, techniques, and problems that are involved in the development and use of such a research instrument. Programming custom event handlers, for a preexisting software object called the WebBrowser Control, constitutes a major part of the research approach. Event handling techniques having to do with downloading and navigation, with browser interface emulation, and with window and session control are presented. Other relevant issues such as cache management, keyboard handling, and accessing HTML page elements through the Document Object Model are also presented.

In this study, I examine the adoption, penetration and impacts of the adoption of leading-edge information technologies in American local governments. I also discuss future trends with respect to these technologies. Data for this study come from three nationwide surveys of information technology in local governments and a series of case studies in US cities about the adoption of leading-edge information technologies. My principal findings are that American local governments have adopted a range of these technologies and can be expected to do so in coming years. This is especially true of the adoption of electronic government. Local government characteristics associated with adoption include principally local government size as measured by population. Other characteristics include type and form of government, region of the country, and metropolitan status. Additionally, local governments adopt leading-edge information technologies for both general reasons (e.g., to improve efficiency and effectiveness) and to solve specific problems (e.g., the adoption of automated fingerprint identification systems to solve crimes).

As a result of the widespread popularity of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) (OMG, 2003-1), many companies have invested in introducing a UML-based methodology. There are many general purpose UML-based methodologies on the market today; among the most popular are UP (Jacobson, Booch & Rumbaugh, 1999), RUP (Kruchten, 2000), Catalysis (D’Souza & Wills, 1998), Select Perspective (Allen & Frost, 1998), and KOBRA (Atkinson et al., 2001). Typically, these general purpose software system development methodologies do not immediately fulfill a company’s need. Aiming to provide methodologies that may be applied in many domains and for many purposes, these general purpose methodologies typically become extensive and are perceived as overwhelming. At the same time they typically lack support for the more exclusive needs that the companies and domains encounter. Thereby, introducing a general purpose methodology in an organization commonly implies two particular challenges that at first sight seems to be contradictory. On one hand there is a problem that the general purpose methodology provides/prescribes far too much and encounters too many situations. On the other hand the general purpose methodology does not support specific modeling concepts, mechanisms, and techniques wanted by the particular company or development group. Thus, in that respect the general purpose methodology actually covers too little. This state of affairs is why lots of consultants, researchers, and others are in the business of helping companies to introduce these methodologies, as well as customizing general purpose methodologies to be appropriate for the actual company and purpose. The customization is typically tuned based on different criteria such as domain, kind of customers, quality demands, size of the company, and size of the software development teams. A common way of customizing a general purpose methodology is by removing, adding, and/or merging prescribed tasks, phases, roles, and models/artifacts of the methodology. However, even if introduction of a general purpose methodology almost always requires a customization effort, there does not seem to be any standard and formalized way of doing it.

As computer capacities and simulation technologies advance, simulation has become the method of choice for modeling and analysis. The fundamental advantage of simulation is that it can tolerate far less restrictive modeling assumptions, leading to an underlying model that is more reflective of reality and thus more valid, leading to better decisions. Simulation studies are typically preceded by transforming in a more or less complicated way of a sequence of numbers between 0 and 1 produced by a pseudorandom generator into an observation of the measure of interest. Random numbers are a fundamental resource in science and technology. A facility for generating sequences of pseudorandom numbers is a fundamental part of computer simulation systems. Furthermore, random number generators also play an important role in cryptography and in the blockchain ecosystem. All samples of the sequence are generated independently of each other, and the value of the next sample in the sequence cannot be predicted, regardless of how many samples have already been produced.

As organizations must continually drive down costs of software-driven projects, they need to evaluate the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and other software-based design methodologies. These methodologies include looking at software-based alternatives that could save a significant amount of money by reducing the amount of proprietary software. This chapter explores the use and integration of Open Source Software (OSS) in software-driven projects to include in enterprise organizations. Additionally, the legalities of the GNU General Public License (GPL), Lesser General Public License (LGPL), Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), and Creative Commons are explored with the integration of these OSS solutions into organizations. Lastly, the chapter covers the software assurance and cyber security controls to associate with OSS to deploy a hardened product that meets the needs of today's dynamically evolving global business enterprise.

Education barriers in communication based on information technology (IT) could be caused by differences in students’ previous knowledge, teaching communication quality and personality of teachers, quality of textbooks and foreign literature, students’ interest for specific curriculum content, demographic potential of educational institution, as well as a quality of family support for a student. Teaching communication can be studied in terms of pedagogical and psychological theory, and on the other side in terms of informational and communicational theory. New forms of education barriers, caused by information technology and internet as a source of knowledge, are detected in all models of classical teaching communication. Based on analysis of numerous studies, education barriers could be classified as media, linguistic, psychological, sociological, technological, demographical, economic and other barriers. In our research we define education barriers as communicational obstacles in IT based learning which cause students’ poor achievement in all educational levels. The sample includes students from: higher grades of elementary schools, gymnasiums and vocational schools and higher educational institutions. All examinees are from the Republic of Serbia. Additional to teaching, psychological and IT experts, examinees’ parents also made a contribution to the research process. The focus of this paper is on language barriers of lower intensity which are present in all other educational barriers. Language barriers refer to foreign words and phrases, technical terms, abbreviations, and English as general language in communication within information technology users. Obtained data were course to statistical methods. For determining the relation between variables we applied the multiple-regression factor analysis according to Guttman-Kaiser criterion.

In this paper we propose a general method for making process parameter decisions in the development of a rapid manufacturing system. Given a level of demand, the designer can use our method to select the appropriate type of rapid prototyping machine, the number of machines, the batch size, and other process parameters (layer thickness, road width, etc.) in order to achieve an ideal cost, throughput, and quality. We illustrate our method through the application of Stratasys’ Fused Deposition Modeling technology to rapidly manufacture customized hearing aid shells. We close with a look ahead to a larger problem: the use of our method to select the proper rapid prototyping technology for use in rapid manufacturing.

Abstract Contemporary Group Technology (GT) methods apply coding schemes as a popular method for capturing the design and manufacturing information pertinent to the parts to be grouped. Coding schemes are very popular and many different coding systems are commercially available. The main disadvantage of current coding systems, however, is their generality and lack of informative representation of the parts. This paper presents a new methodology for coding parts using fuzzy codes. The methodology is general and applies to attributes that have a crisp value (e.g. “length”, “ratio of length to diameter”), an interval value (e.g. “tolerance”, “surface roughness”) or a fuzzy value (e g. “primary shape”). The methodology considers the range of attributes relevant for the grouping, and therefore is tuned and adjusted to the specific collection of parts of interest This method creates a more informative coding scheme which leads to improved variant process planning methods, scheduling and inventory control as well as other manufacturing functions that utilize GT.

Background: On the Internet today, we can come across numerous fraudulent technologies that are considered electronic crimes. One of the cyber fraud subspecies, information fraud, is not only undefined in Ukrainian legislation but is generally little studied in the domestic scientific discourse. The lack of scientific research and the legislative framework is one of the reasons for the prevalence of this phenomenon in Ukrainian society, which brings serious harm to citizens, especially during the war in Ukraine. Purpose: To consider information fraud in terms of its impact on civil society in Ukraine. Methods: In the course of the work, general scientific methods were used: analysis for a detailed study of the scientists works on the selected topic and synthesis to determine the essence of the concept of “information fraud” and its features. The classification method was used to organize and structure information. Results: Information fraud can be interpreted as manipulative socio-political Internet technology, as online fraudsters, using certain manipulation strategies and tactics, sell information that has no practical value. In our opinion, during the war in Ukraine, this kind of fraudster is a big problem for society, on par with other widespread cybercrimes, because they can lead to various negative social consequences and even the death of a person. Conclusion: Positive tendencies in the development of Ukraine's civil society may be seen in the public's engagement and the population's response to the issue of information fraud. On the other hand, one of the obstacles to the creation of such a society is the pervasiveness of information fraud and cybercrime in general. Keywords: cyber fraud, information fraud, socio-political Internet technology, civil society, manipulation

Abstract National and regional economies have become increasingly bound to a global economy with the availability of advanced communication, information and transportation technologies among others, while the advancement of science and technology in general has served as a driving engine for economic and industrial development of local and national economies, and subsequently for those of regional and global economies with substantial time lags in the past millennium. The globalization has given a significant impact on each society by accelerating instant and/or speedy flows of information, money, commodity, energy and human beings, and thus has provided increasingly equal opportunities to societies around the globe for the development of business and technology. Nevertheless, characteristics and specific boundary conditions of local areas, nations and regions still characterize the business and technological opportunities for specific communities. The global constraints such as limitation in natural resources and energy, and the global environmental issues have driven human beings to challenge a huge task for the new and renewable energy development, environmental protection, and development and utilization of space and other frontiers such as deep underground and deep seas, on a global scale of competition and cooperation. Under these circumstances, we will need to manage the risk and development of our business and technology increasingly from global perspectives, with due consideration on the global constraints and specific characteristics of the focused local societies. This paper is intended to set scene and raise issues for discussion at the subject symposium of ours.

Design is an uncertain human activity involving decisions with uncertain outcomes. Sources of uncertainty in product design include uncertainty in modeling methods, market preferences, and performance levels of subsystem technologies, among many others. The performance of a technology evolves over time, typically exhibiting improving performance. As the performance of a technology in the future is uncertain, quantifying the evolution of these technologies poses a challenge in making long-term design decisions. Here, we focus on how to make decisions using formal models of technology evolution. The scenario of a wind turbine energy company deciding which technology to invest in demonstrates a new technology evolution modeling technique and decision making method. The design of wind turbine arrays is a complex problem involving decisions such as location and turbine model selection. Wind turbines, like many other technologies, are currently evolving as the research and development efforts push the performance limits. In this research, the development of technology performance is modeled as an S-curve; slowly at first, quickly during heavy research and development effort, and slowly again as the performance approaches its limits. The S-curve model typically represents the evolution of just one performance attribute, but designers generally deal with problems involving multiple important attributes. Pareto frontiers representing the set of optimal solutions that the decision maker can select from at any point in time allow for modeling the evolution of technologies with multiple attributes. As the performance of a technology develops, the Pareto frontier shifts to a new location. The assumed S-curve form of technology development allows the designer to apply the uncertainty of technology development directly to the S-curve evolution model rather than applying the uncertainty to the future performance, giving a more focused application of uncertainty in the problem. The multi-attribute technology evolution modeling technique applied in decision-making gives designers greater insight when making long-term decisions involving technologies that evolve.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract The Ocean Data Platform project was initiated initiated since 2020 to support our aspiration to become the guardian of the Ocean. PTTEP (‘the Company’) aspires to take part in providing of marine science data around our offshore operation to the general public, as there is currently no offshore information available from Thailand. The data will be beneficial to ocean scientists, authorities, and could lead to the development of various ocean conservation programs and prediction model. This Ocean Data Platform is designed to collect the up-to-date and real-time offshore ocean health and biodiversity data in Gulf of Thailand (GoT) by leveraging our offshore location strengths, knowledge, and innovative technologies. To establish the real-time offshore data in our operation, met-ocean monitoring station and underwater camera are installed to automatically perform oceanographic measurements to identify biodiversity, species, and aquatic life. This platform will connect our offshore data with other nearshore and midshore data from other entities. They also have alert function to detect abnormal activity so they can investigate and notify relevant parties to take action if necessary. The Ocean Data Platform will be published to stakeholders and interested parties for further research through the websie (reference 4). This platform comprises of 3 main parts of oceanographic monitoring, Ocean for life initiatives and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) events such as offshore microplastic monitoring, underwater biodiversity around offshore platform, coral bleaching baseline, the His Thai Majesty's Ship (H.T.M.S) underwater learning site. This information allows us to mornitor the state of the ocean health in various aspects and analyze the causes of various phenomena such as, impact of greenhouse gases on the ocean, change in ocean water temperature, wave height in monsoon season, ocean acidity, and base of ocean water, etc. We could also use this information to design offshore facilities to optimize CAPEX costs in the future. In addition, this platform is also regarded as the starting point for consolidating all marine-related information into one platform to support Thailand ocean conservation program. This is the first development in Thailand that integrates offshore data with others to complete ocean data in a holistic manner and allows researchers interested in the ocean to effectively use this type of data in their research.

Nash, Susan Smith. "Offshore Co-Produced Critical Minerals and Geothermal Energy Generation". En Offshore Technology Conference. OTC, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4043/31981-ms.
Texto completoResumen
Abstract Scope This paper presents the results of a study to determine the potential for coproduced critical minerals and geothermal energy generation in offshore production. The objective was to focus on high temperature produced water in locations likely to contain critical minerals such as lithium, rare earth elements (REEs), platinum group metals, arsenic, and others. The scope is global, and the offshore locations graded to prioritize in terms of geothermal energy and concentration of critical minerals. Method The method involved studying the tectonic history of the offshore production of the world and conducting reconnaissance basin analysis to create general maps of heat and location of critical minerals. A study of all publications that included information about the geochemical composition of reservoir fluids as well as samples / cores was also incorporated. Where available, geothermal information was gained by collecting the bottomhole temperatures of producing and test wells. Results The preliminary results indicate that some offshore production does have the potential to be converted to producers of geothermal energy, to be consumed locally, depending on needs and infrastructure. In some cases, platforms can be converted to battery charging stations. With respect to critical minerals, preliminary results have identified offshore producing fields with a potentially commercial concentration of critical minerals in the produced brine / reservoir fluids. Further study is being conducted to define the type and concentration of critical minerals, and to recommend the ideal production method for each high-ranking prospect. Novel Information Certain offshore reservoirs have the potential to coproduce geothermal energy and reservoir fluids. Further, there are locations in offshore basins that may have commercially producible levels of critical minerals. Novel methods of producing and concentrating brine will be necessary offshore to work within the constraints of the locally generated energy, and to preserve and protect the environment.

Through its specific multiple uses, the electronic information technology constitutes an authentic current teaching means, producing a new revolution in education, compared to the one achieved by the invention of printing. Its apparition suggests a reconsideration of the didactic methods and strategies, of teaching style, of the projection and development of the instructive-educational act for the Physical Education in higher education. This is all the more evident if we take into consideration the combination: computer (means: information technology) - course in an electronic format (method) - individual activity (type of organization). When we are referring to the first way of inserting the computer in the curriculum, it is strictly associated to the notion of means; ulteriorly, it becomes a didactic strategy, being combined with other elements. The theoretical course model suggested in this paper constitutes an electronic document, with properties that are imposed by the current standards and demands of the IT users. In this sense, the electronic format desired for the structuring, accessibility, use, and management of the curricular content has been chosen according to the following criteria:  accessible and viable presentation;  immediate accessibility;  ease of use;  accessible Internet presence;  easy to find and encapsulate the content;  modularization and an arborescent structure of information. For this, the format Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) has been chosen, which is very popular, very accessible, and tested over a long period of time by thousands of users. One of its main elements is the navigation tree (the arborescent structure - of dependencies) of the information (contents), called in the Reader: Bookmarks. Also, another main element in the presentation of information is the presentation panel for the actual content of the electronic course, allowing the specification of various attributes for the personalization of the e-course: page rolling, the physical position inside the e-course (the number of the current page, and the total number of pages), the visualizing format (the number of pages presented simultaneously). The concretion of the ideas presented above has been done through the creation of such a model of theoretical course: "The General Bases of Association Football," accessible at: http://cadredidactice.ub.ro/balintgheorghe/files/2012/12/bazele-generale-ale-fotbalului-3.pdf.

Texto completoResumen
Nuclear energy projects continue to evoke strong emotional responses from the general public throughout the world. High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) technology offers improved safety and performance characteristics that should enhance public acceptance but is burdened with demonstrating a different set of safety principles. This paper summarizes key issues impacting public acceptance and discusses the importance of openly engaging the public in the early stages of new HTGR projects. The public gets information about new technologies through schools and universities, news and entertainment media, the internet, and other forms of information exchange. Development of open public forums, access to information in understandable formats, participation of universities in preparing and distributing educational materials, and other measures will be needed to support widespread public confidence in the improved safety and performance characteristics of HTGR technology. This confidence will become more important as real projects evolve and participants from outside the nuclear industry begin to evaluate the real and perceived risks, including potential impacts on public relations, branding, and shareholder value when projects are announced. Public acceptance and support will rely on an informed understanding of the issues and benefits associated with HTGR technology. Major issues of public concern include nuclear safety, avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions, depletion of natural gas resources, energy security, nuclear waste management, local employment and economic development, energy prices, and nuclear proliferation. Universities, the media, private industry, government entities, and other organizations will all have roles that impact public acceptance, which will likely play a critical role in the future markets, siting, and permitting of HTGR projects.

At the present stage, digital information technologies create a new education system focused on the global educational space. In general education schools, in connection with the adoption of the updated program, the section Geoinformatics and cartography provides for the use of developing a map-scheme, modeling and conducting small studies on the topic under study. As a result, digital technology has a place in geographical education. This is due to significant changes in the pedagogical and methodological approach in teaching geography and other disciplines. As a result, the education system has changed, the content of education has been updated, a new approach has appeared, a new attitude to geoinformation technologies in schools. The article discusses the importance of computer technologies in the education system, including the effectiveness and necessity of using geoinformation technologies. The article substantiates the relevance of the use of geoinformation technologies in the teaching of geography.

The world is facing a rapid increase of air conditioning of buildings. It is the motivation of Annex 80 to develop, assess and communicate solutions of resilient cooling and overheating protection. Resilient Cooling is used to denote low energy and low carbon cooling solutions that strengthen the ability of individuals and our community to withstand, and prevent, thermal and other impacts of changes in global and local climates. This report offers a collection of 16 technologies, well suited to form a part of Resilient Cooling solutions of Buildings. It is meant as a package of information for those who are in the position to draw decisions upon building-design, both retrofit and new constructions. The 16 technologies are structured in four main sections, which represent the four general approaches to making a building resilient against heat: - Reducing heat loads to people and indoor environments - Removing heat from indoor environments (production, emission and combined) - Increasing personal comfort apart from space cooling - Removing latent heat from indoor environments Each technology is described in a concise manner, sub structured in the chapters: Description, Key Technical Properties, Performance and Application and Further Reading

Texto completoResumen
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).

(CIEH), Chartered Institute of Environmental Health. Online display of food hygiene ratings by food businesses in Wales. Food Standards Agency, junio de 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.46756/sci.fsa.lvn877.
Texto completoResumen
The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) was commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to facilitate a workshop to explore regulators views about proposals to introduce mandatory online display of food hygiene ratings by food businesses in Wales. This report details the findings. Participants were supportive of the FSA’s proposals and welcomed the opportunity for engagement at an early stage. They were unanimous in their views that mandating the display of food hygiene ratings online by businesses would represent a natural progression of the current scheme which has evolved over time, reflecting changes in the landscape whereby online food sales have increased dramatically. A gradual approach to introducing any new requirements for food businesses was favoured with voluntary online display by pathfinder businesses initially, followed by phased implementation of a statutory scheme. The likely IT challenges associated with implementation, particularly for small food businesses was highlighted as a concern by participants who welcomed the prospect of a potential technological solution which would automatically update business websites and social media accounts with up-to-date ratings. The resource implications for already stretched local authorities associated with verifying business compliance was highlighted, but the opportunity for this surveillance to be done remotely by the FSA or others was identified, with LAs only needing to be notified in the event of a problem or non-compliance being identified for potential enforcement action. Investment in technology was identified as key to the success of this initiative as there was a general feeling that whilst the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) has developed over time, the technology supporting it has not. Participants suggested that a mobile app should be developed to provide consumers with quick, easy to access up-to-date ratings information. A mobile app would also enable other benefits to be realised. Early engagement about proposals with aggregators and identification of pathfinder food businesses were identified as potential next steps for the FSA, together with continuation of work to explore technological fixes to reduce potential burdens on businesses and regulators associated with implementation of the Scheme.

Ukrainian primary schools are undergoing significant changes as for Reform ‘New Ukrainian School’, it reflects rapid updating information technology and high level of children’ informational activity. Primary schools are basically focused on development subject knowledge and general study skills. One of the ways of their developing is to use tools and apps. There are the examples of using interactive tools and apps for teaching Math for young learners by teachers-to-be in the article. The article presents as well the experimental data about training teachers-to-be to use tools and apps. Interactive tools and apps provide real task variability, uniqueness of exercises, operative assessment of correction, adjustment of task difficulty, a shade of competitiveness and gaming to the exercises. To create their own apps teachers-to be use the tools that are the part of the integrated Microsoft Office package using designing environments, and other simple and convenient programs. The article presents experimental data about the results of training teachers-to-be to create apps. A set of criteria for creation apps was made and checked at the experimental research such as ability to develop apps, knowledge and understanding the functional capabilities of apps, knowledge of tools for creating apps and their functional capabilities, ability to select and formulate tasks for young learners, ability to assess adequately the quality of the developed apps.

The Research Chair in the Generational Digital Divide undertakes activities aimed at furthering knowledge about the causes, consequences and solutions to the digital divides caused by age gaps. This report shows the research project carried out in 2021 to learn more about how the digital divide affects over 54s living in the Valencia Region, by province, with a focus on intergenerational relationships. To this end, an exploratory survey targeted at over 54s years old and over 39s years old in the Valencia Region, based on primary sources and combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, has been conducted. The data reveals that, while a large percentage of over 54s declare that they have access to and are users of new technologies, much remains to be done for access and usage to become universal, especially at older ages. The report analyses how technology is used, considering its purpose and context, according to age and other significant variables. Differences in technology usage have been found across age groups and between women and men. The report contains information on, among other relevant aspects, online services, and especially on e-banking, the healthcare system and e-administration. Differences between age groups have been found for all indicators, shedding light on intergenerational relationships within the family that are crucial for older people. The Research Chair is an initiative by the Valencia Region Government’s Directorate General for the Fight Against the Digital Divide and stems from the collaboration between the Regional Department for Innovation, Science, Universities and Digital Society and the University of Alicante.

McGarrigle, M. Embedding Building Information Modelling into Construction Technology and Documentation Courses. Unitec ePress, noviembre de 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.34074/rsrp.005.
Texto completoResumen
The aim of this research is to generate a resource to assist construction lecturers in identifying opportunities where Building Information Modelling [BIM] could be employed to augment the delivery of subject content within individual courses on construction technology programmes. The methodology involved a detailed analysis of the learning objectives and underpinning knowledge of the course content by topic area, within the residential Construction Systems 1 course presently delivered at Unitec on the National Diplomas in Architectural Technology[NDAT], Construction Management [NDCM] and Quantity Surveying [NDQS]. The objective is to aid students’ understanding of specific aspects such as planning controls or sub-floor framing by using BIM models, and investigate how these could enhance delivery modes using image,animation and interactive student activity. A framework maps the BIM teaching opportunities against each topic area highlighting where these could be embedded into construction course delivery. This template also records software options and could be used in similar analyses of other courses within similar programmes to assist with embedding BIM in subject delivery.
