Analysis of the State and Characteristics of the Development Potential of Strategic Planning Tools in the Digital Transformation Conditions of the Economy and Management

Purpose:the purpose of the study is to determine the main directions and conceptual approaches to modernizing analytical and computer support for the planning of strategic development of socio-economic systems on a national scale in the framework of improving the methodology of strategic planning in a digital transformation of the economy and management.Methods:the issues of improving the tools of strategic planning of socio-economic development are studied in the framework of a system approach to analyzing the construction and functioning of the state management mechanism in the context of active formation of the information society infrastructure and to evaluating of the impact of digital technologies on the content of management tasks in the process of co-evolution of objects and subjects of management in large-scale organizational systems.Results:the article deals with current problems and key tasks of modernization of scientific and methodological, informational and analytical support of state strategic management of socio-economic development. The trends of the evolution of objects and subjects of management in the conditions of the digital transformation of the information society are investigated. The institutional bases for the construction and operation of the strategic planning system of the Russian Federation are characterized. A block diagram of a complex of heterogeneous models of strategic planning of socio-economic development is given. Design solutions are proposed for building the architecture and developing a prototype of the computer support system for the scenario modeling technology when developing multi-level strategic decisions for planning socio-economic development in the emerging infrastructure of the digital economy is presented.Conclusions and Relevance:the study showed the importance and relevance of modernization of the methodological and analytical support of the strategic planning system of the Russian Federation, which takes into account the main consequences and requirements of the creation and distribution of digital technologies in various areas of society. The most important characteristics of innovative changes in the structure and content of strategic planning tasks, the solution of which is associated with the unification of the format of quantitative and qualitative assessments in the digital development management environment, are identified. Standardization of technologies for collecting, transmitting, storing and processing large amounts of data allows you to build computer software for the multi-level system of state strategic planning based on an open service-oriented architecture. The main direction of further research and development in the creation of an analytical platform to support strategic planning of socio-economic development can be the creation of a mathematical apparatus and software products for processing and analyzing large amounts of personalized information about the functioning of economic and social agents to identify and assess their potentials and priorities. This will allow to increase the degree of justification and consistency of planned decisions and regulatory measures developed by the state in the field of planning socio-economic development and ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation.

A Japanese case of breast cancer with BRCA1 mutation

s / The Breast 20 (2011) S12–S55 S27 burden, and slower transfer of new discoveries and technologies into clinical practice. Methods: The objective of INTEGRATE, a European Commission funded project involving six European partners, is to build a data-sharing platform for all forms of data generated from clinical trials. The dynamic environment will collect, manage and provide secure and compliant access to complex and novel datasets for the biomedical community, including basic scientists, translational, and clinical researchers as well as the pharmaceutical industry to enhance cooperative research. It will be specifically designed to manage complex genomic data that can be used for molecular screening of patients for clinical trials as well as for analysis of clinical, pathology and imaging data. INTEGRATE will involve reuse and adaptation of existing openly available services and tools, as well as development of new technologies and analysis tools specifically for this data sharing environment. The INTEGRATE platform will initially be tested using data generated in neoadjuvant breast cancer clinical trials run by the Breast International Group (BIG). This will subsequently be expanded to include the setting of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer and potentially other forms of cancer as well. Results: Experts from multiple disciplines, such as medical oncology, knowledge engineering, IT, basic bioscience, and ethical bodies have collaborated to define the scope of the platform. To ensure semantic interoperability and support reuse, the semantics of the domain will be captured in a core dataset using standardised terminologies such as SNOMED CT, ICD-O and LOINC, defined in collaboration with the end-user research community. The INTEGRATE platform will also support the development, preservation and sharing of multi-scale predictive models. The technical INTEGRATE environment will be based on an open serviceoriented architecture. An effort will be made to ensure that INTEGRATE is compatible with other similar existing platforms, and that the highest standards of data security and privacy are adopted. Conclusions: INTEGRATE will develop a standards-based environment that will support co-ordinated and collaborative biomedical research by allowing optimal exploitation of breast cancer clinical trial data, and thus potentially contribute to significant advancements in cancer research.

An Open and Service-Oriented Architecture to Support the Automation of Learning Scenarios

The specifications of automated learning scenarios can lead to advantages for virtual learning environments and important benefits for organizations, although research in this e-learning area has not addressed this issue. To achieve this goal, one requirement is to have an infrastructure able to support the execution of specifications of learning scenarios. This paper presents an open service-oriented architecture based on the Open Services Interface Definition (OSID) specifications proposed by the Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) and other normative specifications. The architecture is used as a technological infrastructure in a virtual learning environment with more than 40,000 students enrolled and has been tested as the infrastructure of a tool to automate specifications of learning scenarios. A case study has been used to test the suitability of the architecture and describe such a tool for the future.

Open service-oriented architecture for transport protocols

The accelerated progress in internet technologies has widely increased by one hand the diversity of distributed multimedia applications (i.e., IPTV, VoIP, VoD, video-conferencing, etc.) and by the other hand the available network services (i.e., high speed, wireless, mobile, etc.). This important evolution of application and network layers has deeply impacted the role of the traditional transport layer. Moreover, continuous enhancements and new developments of transport protocols have made quite complex for applications the selection of the adequate service for a particular network environment. Furthermore, most of new transport developments have not followed well-known software engineering approaches aimed at facilitating code reusability, integration and interoperability. This paper proposes the Open-Service Oriented Architecture for Transport Protocols (OSOATP) aimed at making easier for applications the selection of the adequate transport services. OSOATP is built following service-oriented and service-component architecture approaches in order to allow smooth integration and dynamic composition of reusable transport components. Studies intended to illustrate the benefits of this architecture are also presented.
