TP311.5; This paper deals with the goals and visions of a consortium inJapan, named Cons ortium for Business Object Promotion (CBOP), discussing its background, activiti es, and basic technical ...approaches to share and exchanging various types of Busi ness Objects. Especially, Object Pattern Technologies used in CBOP should be di scussed.
This article, in view of disadvantages of the project management of current electric power enterprise, in reference to the relevant literature, investigates the management mode of existing electric ...power enterprise and then makes analyses and summaries, and puts forward improvement from organization, responsibility, business area and comprehensive evaluation according to the actual situation of the given project department management mode, strengthens the project management level and achieves positive results. The application is proved in practical. Through using the project management mode on the construction of JIADING Power Supply company's HUISHAN 110 kV substation, expounds the important role of the project owner in 110 kV substation construction by researching data, tracking and analyzing.
Data collection can be enhanced with the use of computers. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that the data collected have a purpose and meet either the quality assessment needs or business ...functions of the transfusion service. Required data elements are frequently in several data repositories and must be merged to obtain needed information. Effective data collection may be hindered by several factors, including a lack of data elements in the computer systems, data retention limitations, and changes in the computer system or collection needs. Personal computers with commonly available spreadsheet and database management software are useful in preparing summarized reports. An ideal report is legibly printed on one side of a sheet of paper and includes graphs and charts that enhance data presentation and facilitate trend analysis.

The business impact analysis for business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) planning is one of the most critical aspects of the plan. Understanding the impact various threats and disruptions ...may have on the business and developing methods to systematically reduce risk and mitigate impact are the outcome from the business impact analysis phase. Reviewing threat sources, likelihood of occurrence, and potential impact create the foundation of an effective BC/DR plan. Understanding which risks to address and which to accept, developing an impact report, and gaining acceptance from key business leaders are critical to managing risk and addressing DR requirements.
Drawing on evidence on the home furnishing sectors in Italy during the XX century, the aim is to understand the instituted processes that facilitated the translation of design know-how from being ...project-specific to becoming relevant to broader remits. The paper contributes to the debate on industry evolution by incorporating the institutional dimension to the organisational and technological changes taking place at both firm and industry level.
Since its beginnings in the late 1960s, the IT services industry has signed long-term (10 to 20 year) contracts to maintain software and operate a system for a fixed decreasing price. The motivation ...for this paper stems from forty years of watching software maintenance artifacts and operations artifacts continue to diverge down two separate paths filled with duplication and unused information. Occasionally, a well-annotated simulation model has been used effectively to bring these two artifact-paths together and efficiently maintain the software and operate the system within contracted performance goals, called service level agreements. This paper proposes an architecture simulation model hybrid, built from existing software development artifacts and operations artifacts, which can endure for the operational life of a system (an average of eighteen years). In order to show the relevance of the hybrid approach, the complete development and maintenance lifecycle of a large-scale customer order system case is studied. The services industry case high-lights the gaps contained in current simulation models and presents modeling extensions to fill the breaches.
Many papers proposed in the software engineering and information systems literature are dedicated to analysis of software projects missing their schedules, exceeding their budgets, delivering ...software products with poor quality and in some cases even wrong functionality. The expression ldquosoftware crisisldquo has been coined since the late 60's to illustrate this phenomenon. Various solutions has been proposed by academics and practitioners in order to deal with the software crisis, counter these trends and improve productivity and software quality. Such solutions recommend software process improvement as the best way to build software products needed by modern organizations. Among the well-known solutions, many are based either on software development tools or on software development approaches, methods, processes, and notations. Nevertheless, the scope of these solutions seems to be limited and the improvements they provide are often not significant. We think that since software artifacts are accumulation of knowledge owned by organizational stakeholders, the software crisis is due to a knowledge gap resulting from the discrepancy between the knowledge integrated in software systems and the knowledge owned by organizational actors. In particular, integrating knowledge management in software development process permits reducing the knowledge gap through building software products which reflect at least partly the organization's know-how. In this paper, we propose a framework which provides a definition of knowledge based on information systems architecture and describes a knowledge-oriented software development process to help organizations in reducing the software crisis impacts.
