Domain Modeling in the Context of Ontology

Abstract The domain knowledge represented by ontology should be widely used in the design process of information system. The aim of the paper is to outline a systematic approach of developing a CIM model (domain model, precisely) on the basis of a selected domain ontology. There are presented some hints how ontology concepts can be expressed in domain model. Elaborated example realizes some difficulties in proposed approach, e.g. the domain knowledge is spread over many ontologies, some facts are defined at very general level (their interpretation is more difficult), ontology may contain many irrelevant elements. Nevertheless, we are believed that applying ontology in conscious way can help to achieve higher compliance of the domain model with the application domain.

Privacy-Preserving Design of Data Processing Systems in the Public Transport Context

The public transport network of a region inhabited by more than 4 million people is run by a complex interplay of public and private actors. Large amounts of data are generated by travellers, buying and using various forms of tickets and passes. Analysing the data is of paramount importance for the governance and sustainability of the system. This manuscript reports the early results of the privacy analysis which is being undertaken as part of the analysis of the clearing process in the Emilia-Romagna region, in Italy, which will compute the compensations for tickets bought from one operator and used with another. In the manuscript it is shown by means of examples that the clearing data may be used to violate various privacy aspects regarding users, as well as (technically equivalent) trade secrets regarding operators. The ensuing discussion has a twofold goal. First, it shows that after researching possible existing solutions, both by reviewing the literature on general privacy-preserving techniques, and by analysing similar scenarios that are being discussed in various cities across the world, the former are found exhibiting structural effectiveness deficiencies, while the latter are found of limited applicability, typically involving less demanding requirements. Second, it traces a research path towards a more effective approach to privacy-preserving data management in the specific context of public transport, both by refinement of current sanitization techniques and by application of the privacy by design approach.

Development and Research of Management Information System Based on Multilayer Structure

In the whole process of developing the management information system, people give priority to application of new technology and instrument such as the newly developed instrument Visual Studio from Microsoft. Connected with SQL Server 2000 data base, VB.NET, ASP.NET and ADO.NET technology are able to make the structure of softwares more reasonable, convenient and pragmatic, largely increasing the overall property of the software system. According to the steps of engineering design, this passage is to illustrate the entire system in an all-around way in terms of demand analysis, integrated design, data base design, safety design as well as report design. This passage is to illustrate a design process of a management information system based on C/S and B/S multilayer structure.

The evaluation of hospital laboratory information management systems based on the standards of the American National Standard Institute.

Introduction:Nowadays, modern laboratories are faced with a huge volume of information. One of the goals of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is to assist in the management of the information generated in the laboratory. This study intends to evaluate the LIMS based on the standards of the American National Standard Institute (ANSI).Materials and Methods:This research is a descriptive–analytical study, which had been conducted in 2011, on the LIMSs in use, in the teaching and private hospitals in Isfahan. The data collecting instrument was a checklist, which was made by evaluating three groups of information components namely: ‘System capabilities’, ‘work list functions,’ and ‘reporting’ based on LIS8-A. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 20. Data were analyzed using (relative) frequency, percentage. To compare the data the following statistical tests were used: Leven test, t-test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).Results:The results of the study indicated that the LIMS had a low conformity (30%) with LIS8-A (P = 0.001), with no difference between teaching and private hospitals (P = 0.806). The ANOVA revealed that in terms of conformity with the LIS8-A standard, there was a significant difference between the systems produced by different vendors (P = 0.023). According to the results, a Kowsar system with more than %57 conformity in the three groups of information components had a better conformity to the standard, compared to the other systems.Conclusions:This study indicated that none of the LIMSs had a good conformity to the standard. It seems that system providers did not pay sufficient attention to many of the information components required by the standards when designing and developing their systems. It was suggested that standards from certified organizations and institutions be followed in the design and development process of health information systems.

Triangulating System Requirements for Users with Severe Motor Disabilities

By giving a voice to users in the design process of information systems, they often feel more empowered and engaged. The inclusion of users with disabilities in the design process, however, can be markedly more difficult. User profiling allows a user's preferences and interests to be captured and represented. However, for a user with severe motor disabilities, information related to his or her user profile must be obtained through a variety of means. Because feedback from a person with a severe motor disability may be limited and, at times, unreliable, system requirements must be triangulated using multiple sources to help ensure that an accurate representation of the user's input is obtained. A process for triangulating system requirements is presented, which starts with identifying the user and people closely related to the user, then interviewing the user, recording interactions with the user, interviewing others, and finally confirming captured preferences through a questionnaire.

The Interplay between Practitioners and Technological Experts in the Design Process of an Archaeology Information System

This case describes the design and development process of a computer-based information system for the management of archaeological finds and related documents. Adaptive Structuration Theory is used as the conceptual framework to analyse the role and actions of different people involved in the design and development process, during the different stages of the case. The case addresses key issues, such as an initiative taking place in an organizational context where users show different needs, profiles and levels of information technology literacy. It focuses primarily on the interactions between practitioners and technological experts during the design and development process. Another matter of interest comes from the fact that, in this sector, no other information system for finds management was already available. Moreover, this case targets the domain of archaeology that has not received so much attention by Information Systems literature to date.

Modeling stakeholders for information systems design processes

In the software engineering area, stakeholders play a significant role in requirements elicitation and validation. Moreover, all the project management is integrally affected by stakeholders’ perspectives and their participation. This effect is strengthened when projects involve several organizations. Thus, a clear and explicit representation of the stakeholders and their attributes is required in order to achieve their effective management. The integration of this representation with other models capturing the knowledge of engineering design processes can be of great utility in software development projects. In this sense, this article describes the construction of an integrated model for representing stakeholders in information systems design processes. This proposal considers diverse attributes related to stakeholders and gives information for performing quantitative calculations about their interest and influence over the project. Thus, more inclusive experiences of the information systems development can be supported, even more if contexts with the participation of several organizations are considered.

RAMSES: A Method for the Design Process of Interactive Information Systems

This work presents a method that aims at structuring the design process of interactive information systems (IIS). This method, which takes parts of its ground in the joint cognitive systems approach, formalizes the integration of usage data in the design process of IIS. Data are generated by using methods of activity analysis. The assumption is that for integrating usage data successfully, they must be represented in a formalism close to the development language, while maintaining the formalization language accessible to each domain specialist involved in the design process. The method can be split up into in five steps: (a) data collection of users' needs in different contexts, (b) representation of the collected data, (c) modeling of corresponding knowledge in an implementation formalism, (d) specification of the IIS, and (e) validation of the model by a functional specification aid tool. A functional specification design tool has been developed according to the presented approach, and has been applied to the design of a traveler information system.

User-centered requirements engineering in health information systems: A study in the hemophilia field

The use of sophisticated information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the health care domain is a way to improve the quality of services. However, there are also hazards associated with the introduction of ICTs in this domain and a great number of projects have failed due to the lack of systematic consideration of human and other non-technology issues throughout the design or implementation process, particularly in the requirements engineering process.This paper presents the methodological approach followed in the design process of a web-based information system (WbIS) for managing the clinical information in hemophilia care, which integrates the values and practices of user-centered design (UCD) activities into the principles of software engineering, particularly in the phase of requirements engineering (RE). This process followed a paradigm that combines a grounded theory for data collection with an evolutionary design based on constant development and refinement of the generic domain model using three well-known methodological approaches: (a) object-oriented system analysis; (b) task analysis; and, (c) prototyping, in a triangulation work. This approach seems to be a good solution for the requirements engineering process in this particular case of the health care domain, since the inherent weaknesses of individual methods are reduced, and emergent requirements are easier to elicit. Moreover, the requirements triangulation matrix gives the opportunity to look across the results of all used methods and decide what requirements are critical for the system success.

Design process of interactive information systems

In this work we study and experiment the integration of usage data in the design process of an interactive information system IIS, specially in the scope of an IIS dedicated to decision-aid. Data have been generated by using methods of activity analysis. We make the assumption that for integrating usage data successfully, they must be represented in a formalism close to the development language. First a generic scheme of information flow in a IIS is defined. Each components of this scheme is then characterized. Data representing user's needs are then collected, analyzed and represented in an adapted knowledge representation scheme. We build a formal model of the knowledge, which has been collected, and then define a users needs matching function for linking the usage activity to the resources the IIS. For each identified problem corresponding to a specific users needs, the function brings out the building of a solution. The approach has been tested by a functional specification design tool developed for the specification of a traveller information system for aiding users of a public transportation network in the choice of the best transportation mode according to the network functioning conditions. It is built in three steps: 1 the construction of a method for collecting users needs data in different use cases; 2 the object-oriented modelling of corresponding knowledge and its transcription into the UML formalism; 3 the validation of the approach by implementing a tool for functional specification aid.

Applying the Multiview Analysis and Design Methodology in a Non Governmental Organisation in Bangladesh

This article describes the preliminary Information Systems analysis and design process of the Multiview methodology in a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) in Bangladesh. The project, sponsored by an international donor agency, was intended to provide Technical Assistance (TA) for the NGO in a variety of areas including livelihoods, data analysis, impact monitoring and the development of Management Information Systems (MIS). The central research question being addressed is: can the initial stage of Multiview be presented to and, if found to be of value, be adopted by NGO staff in the Bangladesh context? The article describes how the Multiview methodology as originally devised by Avison and Wood-Harper was applied and partially adapted to meet the needs of the Impact Monitoring Agency (IMA) of the NGO in order to assist with Impact Assessment. Arising issues of the relevance of the methodology, the role of researchers and the sustainability of IS projects are discussed. Actual names of agencies have been made anonymous throughout this paper in order to respect the sensitivities of all parties.

Integrating Scientific with Indigenous Knowledge: Constructing Knowledge Alliances for Land Management in India

Information systems design and development processes by their very nature involve a multiplicity of knowledge systems, including the technology itself, the methodologies for system development, and knowledge relating to the application domain. When an information system is used to advance socio-economic development in less developed countries (LDCs), there are additional sources contributing to this multiplicity. In the case of land management applications, it is important to consider the knowledge that communities have of the land they inhabit. This paper stresses the importance of constructing knowledge alliances between these multiple knowledge systems in order to support more effective IS development and implementation. The term knowledge alliance refers not merely to the material characteristics of the knowledge inscribed in technology, but also to the indigenous knowledge of the various communities involved. This includes the social setting that has shaped the practices which are responsible for the communities' production, articulation, and use of knowledge. Two key theoretical concepts, namely boundary objects and participation, are drawn upon both to understand the multiplicity of knowledge systems and to suggest possible approaches to the creation of effective knowledge alliances. The empirical setting for this analysis is a study of the use of geographical information systems for land management in India. This research is not of merely theoretical significance, but also carries important practical implications for scientists and administrators involved in the development of IS, particularly in LDCs.

Success and Failure Factors in the Regional Health Information System Design Process

To identify success and failure factors in the design process of a regional health information system. A constructive evaluation study including interviews, observations, usability study and document analysis. Modelling was found to be a key element for the successful implementation of a health information system. The developed service chain model helped to define use cases and to implement seamless service chains. User participation in the design process was a success factor resulting in good user acceptance and signs of positive impacts on work practices. Evaluation study also helped system developers to guide the system's further development. An important failure factor identified was the lack of semantic interoperability of the system components. The results emphasize the socio-technical nature of health information systems. The starting point for development should be thorough insight into the health care work practices where the information systems are to be used. Successful system design should start from modelling of work processes, data and information flows and definition of concepts and their relations. Health informatics as a scientific discipline provides theories and models for the design and development process.

Client‐Led Information System Creation (CLIC): navigating the gap

Abstract. This paper offers a new framework to facilitate an interpretive approach to client‐led information system development, referred to as CLIC (Client‐Led Information System Creation). The challenge of moving seamlessly through a process of information systems (IS) design is still the subject of much research in the IS field. Attempts to address the difficulties of ‘bridging the gap’ between a client's business needs and an information system definition have hitherto not provided a coherent and practical approach. Rather than attempting to bridge the gap, this paper describes an approach to managing this gap by facilitating the clients’ navigating through the information system design process (or inquiry process) in a coherent manner. The framework has been developed through practice, and the paper provides an example of navigating through the design phase taken from an Action Research field study in a major UK bank.

The design and development of a project-oriented information system

In this paper, the idea of building a project-oriented information system based upon a specialized information database was discussed. It attempts to provide tools for helping researchers use Internet resources effectively in the course of their research. Based on this idea, a web-based project-oriented information system was constructed. The paper systematically expounds the design and development process of the project-oriented information system. Furthermore, examples of utilizing the project-oriented information system to obtain useful information and suggestions for specific projects were described. According to our discussion and utilization of the system, we believe that building a project-oriented information system can help researchers with their research projects.
