An Exploratory Research on the Improvement of Agricultural Food-related Public Organizations’ Information Service : Based on the example of Okdab.kr’s information service improvement strategy

Development, availability and users’ participation in the information service of agricultural food sector is slower than that of other sectors in Korea. This phenomenon comes from the lack of development strategies and comparative analyses with other sectors, as well as the agricultural food industry’s own characteristics which is developed based on the offline market. In this research, we will discuss about how to improve the public information service of agricultural food sector based on the example of establishing service improvement strategy by the most representative Okdab. In this research, we have drawn the following implications for development strategy of Okdab service based on three core keywords derived from benchmarking KOSIS. Three core subjects for upgrading public information service are ‘analysis information with expertise and differentiation,’ ‘user cooperation-oriented platform,’ and ‘intuitive nd effective UX,’ and to strength B.I. as an integrated information service of agricultural food sector, we need to identify the users’ satisfaction and needs for the existing service, establish an optimized operating strategy on a short-term, mid-term and long term bases, and implement them in a positive way. Based on this positive action, it can become a trustworthy information service for the users, and we can expect the improvement of the users’ recognition for its consistent usability and efficiency.

Model of an integrated air passenger information system and its adaptation to Budapest Airport

Air passengers use several functions of passenger information systems during their journeys. Inadequate information management may generate uncertainties. Experience shows that the quality of information provision can be improved by the integration of data sources and information services. Development of increasingly integrated solutions requires the use of more abstract modelling methods. Nevertheless, these complex methods have only been partially elaborated and are yet to be adequately published. Therefore, our aim was to develop several methods for analysis and modelling. We applied an approach, where organisations, functions, data groups, and information terminals (interfaces) have been considered. All model components, service functions and their correspondences have been identified and visualised in matrix format. Finally, our method is applied for the case of Budapest Airport. Based on this research, useful subsystems, most notably integrated passenger mobile applications, may be developed in the future.

A user-centred collaborative framework for integrated information services in China

Purpose – The paper aims to propose a user-centred collaborative framework for providing integrated information services (IIS) to corporate users in China. The framework is conceptualized based on a literature review of IIS models and a case study. The authors provide suggestions with regard to the implementation of effective and efficient information services for corporate users based on the proposed framework. Design/methodology/approach – This paper reviews the efforts of investigating appropriate models for integrated information services (IIS) and proposes a user-centred collaborative framework for providing IIS for corporate users. It is organized as follows: first is an overview through a review of the related literature of the current status of information resource services in China. Then, a case study of IIS in Hubei Province is analysed. Next, a user-centred collaborative IIS framework is presented that aims to address the needs of corporate users. The paper concludes with a summary and suggestions for future study to build effective and efficient IIS systems. Findings – Through an exploratory survey conducted in 2009, it was discovered that, in general, corporate users need all kinds of information, not only scientific publications but also business and market information. Their channel to obtain needed information was mainly the Internet. Books and domain-specific databases were also used by most of the participants. The major challenges for corporate users to obtain needed information included the high cost of purchasing or leasing desired information resources, the low quality of information on the Internet, limited information workers or their skills and the quality of high-level information services. Research limitations/implications – The survey served as a tool to gather primitive information on user needs. It was an incomplete, unsystematic exploration. However, the authors could still gain some insights on the users’ information needs and directions for future IIS. The results showed that Hubei Science and Technology Information Sharing Service, which was an implementation of the agency collaboration-based IIS model, satisfied the needs of less than 30 per cent of the participants. It has much room for improvement. Practical implications – This paper proposes a user-centred collaborative integrated information services (UCIIS) framework. The UCIIS framework takes the idea of the user-centred integrated information service (IIS) model that the construction of IIS should start from understanding the users of the services, but it also takes important characteristics from the agency collaboration-based IIS model. Originality/value – The discussion in this paper is basically on the macro level, leaving a lot of interesting future work to design, develop and evaluate IIS systems based on the proposed framework. Specifically, interest is in developing user models through systematic and comprehensive investigation of corporate information users’ needs, and examining current library and information science curricula to produce qualified information professionals who can carry out user experience studies, and high-level knowledge discovery tasks using various advanced computational technologies.

A UI-Centric Approach for the End-User Development of Multidevice Mashups

In recent years, models, composition paradigms, and tools for mashup development have been proposed to support the integration of information sources, services and APIs available on the Web. The challenge is to provide a gate to a “programmable Web,” where end users are allowed to construct easily composite applications that merge content and functions so as to satisfy the long tail of their specific needs. The approaches proposed so far do not fully accommodate this vision. This article, therefore, proposes a mashup development framework that is oriented toward the End-User Development. Given the fundamental role of user interfaces (UIs) as a medium easily understandable by the end users, the proposed approach is characterized by UI-centric models able to support a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) specification of data integration and service orchestration. It, therefore, contributes to the definition of adequate abstractions that, by hiding the technology and implementation complexity, can be adopted by the end users in a kind of “democratic” paradigm for mashup development. This article also shows how model-to-code generative techniques translate models into application schemas, which in turn guide the dynamic instantiation of the composite applications at runtime. This is achieved through lightweight execution environments that can be deployed on the Web and on mobile devices to support the pervasive use of the created applications.

Autonomous Network-Based Integration Architecture for Multi-Agent Systems under Dynamic and Heterogeneous Environment

Multi-agent systems fit nicely into domains that are naturally distributed and require artificial intelligence technology. The autonomous network-based information services integration architecture has been designed to satisfy the multiservice utilization in rapidly changing environments. However, the increase in the total number of user requests and changes lead to the unbalancing load in the system and the overload in the locality. This paper proposes a new strategy to solve such problem. Autonomous load distribution can be achieved through the integrated access method, which reduces the total load of the system for the number of Pull-MAs sent to the system decrease. In addition, the information structure of integrated service area is effective to improve the ratio of the satisfaction of Pull-MAs with joint request on one node. As a result, the homogeneous distribution of the separated services requests and correlated services requests is guaranteed autonomously. The simulation witnesses the success of the proposed mechanism.

Data-source interoperability service for heterogeneous information integration in ubiquitous enterprises

In a ubiquitous environment, various enterprise information systems (EISs) are used for supporting daily operations. Besides, with the support with Auto-ID technology, enterprises are able to collect real-time operation data but these data are continuously pushed to different EISs. Data without processing are meaningless and not able to support managerial decision-makings. The wide use of EISs and Auto-ID devices within an enterprise increases the difficulties in data interoperability among difficult data sources. Since data sources from applications and devices are characterized by multiple types of heterogeneities, such as communication protocols, blinding methods, and developing environments, the difficulty in managing heterogeneous data sources is highly raised. Information integration in ubiquitous enterprises is critical because it has a significant influence on the efficiency and effectiveness of decisions. This article presents an innovative Data-Source Interoperability Service (DSIS) that serves as a middleware for providing a querying and information integration service for heterogeneous data sources. The DSIS applies software agent technology that is capable of accomplishing tasks in an autonomous way without human intervention. Operations provided by DSIS Agent are converted into standard web services. The agent-based services are managed by DSIS Universal Description, Discovery and Integration registry (DSIS-UDDI) which facilitates collaboration among agents. Additionally, the DSIS platform also provides set of visual tools for users to manage and (re)configure different data sources within enterprises.
