Opportunity determination for office information systems

Identifying information technology opportunities is crucial for an effective information strategy. Office information systems, that integrate a variety of information handling methods, require a specific approach. However, current opportunity determination techniques mainly address the narrower spectrum of data processing applications. On the other hand, information requirements analysis techniques specifically aimed at the office environment do not significantly support opportunity determination. This paper proposes a method of determining organizational requirements of office information systems and integrating them into the information requirements. Organizations are considered as a network of interchange that associates agents, organizational products and information processes. Organizational requirements arise from an assessment of change in products and interaction. Information requirements are identified and prioritized according to their potential contribution to improve the value and cost of products and interaction.

Experimental techniques for information requirements analysis

Techniques are needed to improve the communication between user and analyst in the elicitation of information requirements. In particular, techniques are needed to enable them to work together in formulating and developing a model for the analysis of problems characterized by unclear statement of requirements. Hence, the need for an experimental approach to systems development. This paper describes some techniques and discusses the rationale for their application to the process of information requirements analysis in the context of an experimental strategy. Guidelines to support strategy formulation are provided.

Specifying the system

Software components of microprocessor systems now consume a major part of development costs. This has meant that there is a growing trend for software to be designed with a view to future extension, which places constraints on the structure of the design if any extension is to be achieved with a minimum of restructuring. Software validation — verifying each function of the system against performance requirements — is also becoming increasingly important. These requirements must be made explicit at the start of the design process. This article considers the requirements analysis techniques and design methodologies which should be applied to system design to allow the production of software that carries out the specified functions while being amenable to future extension without completely redesigning the system.

System requirements analysis: A management tool

Most of the equipment performance and data problems experienced on recent aerospace programs suggest inadequate consideration of performance and data requirements and the absence of a discipline to assure complete definition of system hardware and software elements. A system requirements analysis (SRA) technique is described which is a discipline for complete system definition and also provides a medium for effective program management. To demonstrate by example how this SRA technique provides thorough consideration of all program objectives, data management is considered as a unique system element relative to its influence on the definition of operational equipment and procedures. This includes assumption of scientific data objectives, as initiated by a principal investigator (PI).
