Research on image quality in decision management system and information system framework

With the continuous development of society and the rapid advancement of science and technology, all walks of life are increasingly required to effectively manage their projects or affairs. Decision-making is the basis of project management, and the formation of decisions determines the formulation of corresponding programs, organizations and businesses. Decision-making is generated by decision makers based on the multi-faceted information they have, so decision management systems and information systems are inseparable in the management of projects and transactions. At present, research on decision management systems emphasizes management and decisions, and few researchers combine decision management and related information. In view of the current research deficiencies, and taking into account the needs of various industries for image applications, this paper introduces image quality evaluation methods, and systematically studies the decision management system and information system framework. The experiment part takes the intelligent image recognition and prevention system of citrus pests and diseases as an example, and the role of image quality in decision management system and information system from the perspective of practice. The results show that through the image quality evaluation system, in the identification and prevention of citrus pests and diseases, it can combine various aspects of information to make effective prevention and control decisions. The results show that the introduction of image quality evaluation can improve the comprehensiveness of information system. On this basis, decision-making system can help decision makers make correct decisions quickly and effectively.

Effectiveness of optimization strategies to improve productivity and safety in open pit mines: protocol for a systematic review

Mining industry importance stems from the fact that it forms the basis of all materials used by humankind, including the agro-industrial sector, where products such as phosphates are behind a significant part of all modern agriculture. Despite its high economic importance, the constraints of its activity make it be considered one of the most challenging and dangerous industries. The main optimization problems in open pit mining design consist on the determination of the ultimate pit limit for exploitation, and mining block sequences for the production schedule, where safety management decision system needs to be integrated.

The inability to prevent and counteract the negative effects of external and internal threats to financial and economic activity for a long time remains a problem for the domestic business entities functioning concerning the full range of risks and threats to the environment.The purpose of the study is to outline the perspective directions of modeling the financial and economic security managing mechanism for the professional participants in the financial market, taking into account the state’s influence on this process. In this article the elements of the architectonics of financial and economic security management mechanism for financial institutions are specified. They are proposed to include such components as organizational support, financial support, information provision, planning of security-oriented measures, tools for implementing protection measures, means for monitoring and control of the results, a system of security-oriented management decisions that are taken as a result of the protective measures application. The possibilities of national regulators influencing the process of financial institutions economic security management are described. The positive effects of state regulators intervention in the process of financial intermediaries financial and economic security management are forecasted for the institutions themselves, their owners and their clients. The peculiarities of managing the financial and economic security provision of various types of professional participants in the financial market are established taking into account the specific features of the purpose of their creation and strategic guidelines for conducting financial and economic activity.Possibilities of the national regulators influence on the process of financial institutions economic security management consist in the ability of the latter to organize and implement the process of financial and economic security monitoring by financial intermediaries. The intermediaries allow to identify in a timely manner financial institution inclining to the bankruptcies and further to prevent social tensions and negative consequences for the financial security of the state in general, which will have place as a result of financial intermediaries’ liquidation and non-fulfillment of their financial obligations.

Индикаторы устойчивого социально-экономического развития в принятии управленческих решений на уровне муниципальных районов (на примере Воронежской области)

The article analyzes the issues of improving the system of management decisions in key areas of regional policy at the level of municipal districts. On the example of the Voronezh region, management problems are identified in the economy, the social sphere, environmental management, and the activities of local governments. Social and economic restrictions in the management of the development of municipal areas are revealed: imperfection of the financial and budgetary sphere, contradictory legal documents, demographic tension expressed by depopulation, long migration outflow, reduced quality of life, etc. In order to improve the management of the development of the territory, it is proposed to use indicators of sustainable economic, social and environmental development of municipalities, allowing establishing and evaluating trends in the functioning of local government entities. The advantage of using indicators of sustainable development is an individual approach to identifying competitive advantages and disadvantages of municipal districts. Based on this, the author carried out a typology of municipal districts of the Voronezh region, which reflected the central-peripheral model and significant destructiveness in the socio-economic sphere. It is these circumstances that must be considered when developing regional policy at the municipal level.

Reflecting upon PAS

By now, the PAS design decision method is familiar and it is known that: 1 The Preference-Based Design procedure could be adapted and implemented into an accommodation strategy formation project so that it can be used at real estate portfolio level in CRE alignment process (see chapter 4); 2 The stakeholders were able to perform all PAS design decision steps and accepted the outcome (see chapter 5 and 6); 3 The facilitator and the systems engineers were able to represent the pilots in mathematical decision models (see chapter 7), and; 4 The stakeholders evaluated PAS design decision method positively (see chapter 8). In paragraph 9.1 it is shown that the PAS design decision method can be used as add-on to current CRE alignment management models. However, using the PAS method as add-on in these models creates managerial and methodical difficulties. The structure of these models is often not congruent with the structure of the PAS method (see chapter 2). An add-on of the PAS method in an alignment model does not fit well. To avoid these difficulties in the pilot studies a specific CRE alignment management system is set up which is congruent with the PAS design decision system: the PAS design decision management system. The PAS design decision method has been structured from a decision making perspective around Kickert’s three rationalities (components) (in De Leeuw, 2002). To complete PAS, PAS is described solely as design method in paragraph 9.2. In paragraph 9.3 the PAS management system is structured from a systems’ management perspective. From this perspective the three components can be described from the organizations’ point of view as well as the CRE manager and facilitator that executes PAS. Management as such is seen as steering in this thesis as is explained in chapter 3. PAS management system is defined based on a systems perspective as following the chosen basic concepts and definitions as explained in paragraph 3.1.14 and 3.1.15.

Knowledge Based Recommender System for Academia Using Machine Learning: A Case Study on Higher Education Landscape of Pakistan

Allocation of courses and research students based on faculty's subject specialization and area of interest has always remained a challenging task for university administration due to the presence of academics' cross-domain interests, stale faculty resumes at university portals and changing the skill set demands from the industry. Collaborative filtering and content-based recommender systems have already been in use by the industry for recommending things, such as movies, news, restaurants, and shopping items to the users, and however, no one has utilized these off-the-shelf models for enhancing the student experience and improving the quality of higher education in academia. This paper presents a case study showcasing the use of probabilistic topic models for generating recommendations to users in academia through appropriate course allocation and supervisor assignment. The proposed system coined as ScholarLite harnesses the power of machine learning to extract research themes from faculty members' past publications, mines research interests from their resumes, and combines it with their educational background to generate recommendations for course teaching, research supervision, and industry-academia collaboration. We have shown the recommendation results on real-world data gathered from the higher education commission of the country and demonstrated that the proposed techniques are scalable across various programs offered by the universities and could be deployed in a small budget by universities for automating course and supervisor allocation procedures. The experiments confirm our performance expectation by showing good relevance and objectivity in results, thus making this decision management system more appealing for large-scale deployment and use by academia.

An Event-Based Data Warehouse to Support Decisions in Multi-Channel, Multi-Service Contact Centers

Multi-channel contact centers are an increasingly important component of today's business world. They serve as a primary customer-facing channel for firms in many different industries, and employ millions of operators across the globe. During their operation, they generate vast amounts of data, ranging from automatically registered logs to handwritten notes and voice recordings. Unfortunately, in most firms, data of interest is unstructured, and stored in several databases, making their exploitation very hard. This article presents a decision support system for a multi-channel, multi-service contact center for front office business process outsourcing, along with its prospective extension to a decision management system. Its core is an enterprise-wide data warehouse, based on the general concept of an event. The proposed system supports a broad new set of advanced analysis tasks, ranging from operator performance assessment to call-flow simulation and data mining, providing operational and management staff the basis for taking effective operative and strategic decisions.

A multimodal 3D framework for fire characteristics estimation

In the last decade we have witnessed an increasing interest in using computer vision and image processing in forest fire research. Image processing techniques have been successfully used in different fire analysis areas such as early detection, monitoring, modeling and fire front characteristics estimation. While the majority of the work deals with the use of 2D visible spectrum images, recent work has introduced the use of 3D vision in this field. This work proposes a new multimodal vision framework permitting the extraction of the three-dimensional geometrical characteristics of fires captured by multiple 3D vision systems. The 3D system is a multispectral stereo system operating in both the visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectral bands. The framework supports the use of multiple stereo pairs positioned so as to capture complementary views of the fire front during its propagation. Multimodal registration is conducted using the captured views in order to build a complete 3D model of the fire front. The registration process is achieved using multisensory fusion based on visual data (2D and NIR images), GPS positions and IMU inertial data. Experiments were conducted outdoors in order to show the performance of the proposed framework. The obtained results are promising and show the potential of using the proposed framework in operational scenarios for wildland fire research and as a decision management system in fighting.

Introduction. Modern market relations are the most productive form of entrepreneurial activity, characterized by globalization of economic processes and competitive environment. This leads to changes in incentive programs for employees working in the main place of work. The introduction of innovative approaches in the long-term production relationship between employee and employer helps the latter to implement a positive social policy in terms of increasing remuneration for work, which is the main source of income and incentive to improve economic efficiency. In the management system, the cost of employee remuneration is one of the most difficult to regulate and coordinate the elements of enterprise costs, as they change in real terms. There is a need to determine the role and place of costs for remuneration of employees in the system of analysis, accounting and management accounting in the enterprise. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to reveal conceptual approaches to the construction of accounting and analysis of remuneration of employees to develop a typology of such costs and their identification in the objects of accounting from the standpoint of forms of payments and relationships in the process of enterprise activities that differentiate accounting and analytical procedures at the level of the business entity. Materials and methods. The materials of the study are: 1) regulatory and legal support for the regulation of costs for the payment of remuneration to employees of the enterprise; 2) works of domestic and foreign authors conducting their scientific and practical research in the field of accounting and analysis, in particular on the cost of remuneration to employees of the enterprise. In the process of research the following scientific methods were used: theoretical generalization and grouping (to characterize the components of the accounting process and accounting functions for the cost of employee remuneration as an object of accounting, as well as determining the composition of remuneration for employees for analysis, accounting and management accounting); formalization, analysis and synthesis (to build a scheme of formation of accounting information on the cost of remuneration of employees in the financial and economic system of the enterprise); logical generalization of results (formulation of conclusions). Results. The scientific article reveals the sequence of formation of accounting and analytical information on the cost of remuneration of employees in the financial and economic system of the enterprise. The components of the accounting process and the functions of accounting for the cost of employee remuneration as an information base for the analysis of such costs are identified. The place of expenses for remuneration of employees among the objects of accounting is found out. The proposed composition of the costs of remuneration of employees of the enterprise will help build a rational system of accounts of analytical accounting and increase the accuracy and objectivity of information support for the needs of analysis, which is formed in the system of management decisions. Information on employee remuneration costs, their composition, structure and distribution efficiency plays an important role for the company's management, as it can identify potentially dangerous incentives for compensatory risk strategies in the field of remuneration, use of funds for indirect compensation, identify operational deviations that will affect to make management decisions. Discussion. In further research it is proposed to focus on the order of documentation and reflection in the accounts and in the reporting of expenses for remuneration of employees of the enterprise, as well as the development of appropriate methods of their analysis. This will improve the methodology and organization of accounting and cost analysis of employees.

An Autonomous Override System to Prevent Airborne Loss of Control

Loss of Control (LOC) is the most common precursor to aircraft accidents. This paper presents a Flight Safety Assessment and Management (FSAM) decision system to reduce in-flight LOC risk. FSAM nominally serves as a monitor to detect conditions that pose LOC risk, automatically activating the appropriate control authority if necessary to prevent LOC and restore a safe operational state. This paper contributes an efficient Markov Decision Process (MDP) formulation for FSAM. The state features capture risk associated with aircraft dynamics, configuration, health, pilot behavior and weather. The reward function trades cost of inaction against the cost of overriding the current control authority. A sparse sampling algorithm obtains a near-optimal solution for the MDP online. This approach enables the FSAM MDP to incorporate dynamically changing flight envelope and environment constraints into decision-making. Case studies based on realworld aviation incidents are presented.
