Abstract During the layout design process, the spatial arrangement of components in an engineering system is developed in order to meet design goals and constraints. Proper organization of the information involved in this process enhances the quality of layout designs. The organization of information is accomplished through the use of the techniques and methods existing in the information management field. Using the object-oriented technique, a method was developed to guide the design of information management systems that support the layout design process. The method was developed in a case study involving the layout design of automobile engine bay components.

Hoy en día, en todas las organizaciones se utilizan sistemas de gestión de la información para dar soporte a todos sus procesos. Las instituciones de nivel superior, en un ámbito competitivo y globalizado, no son la excepción; por las exigencias de este entorno, se encuentran sometidas a constantes procesos de evaluación, acreditación y certificación, con el fin de garantizar a la sociedad, a quien brinda su servicio, una educación pertinente y de calidad, que además sea reconocida por los diferentes sectores. La calidad no solo se evalúa por el ámbito académico sino también por la calidad en los procesos de apoyo y de servicios. Como una solución que permite dar soporte a todos los procesos institucionales en un contexto de mejora continua, aseguramiento de la calidad y pertinencia, se presenta el Sistema de Gestión de la Información llamado “SISCE”. Today, all organizations use information management systems to support all of their processes. Higher-level institutions, in a competitive and globalized environment, are no exception; by the demands of this environment, are subject to constant evaluation, accreditation and certification processes, in order to guarantee to the society, to whom it provides its service, a relevant and quality education, which is also recognized by the different sectors. Quality is not only assessed by the academic field but also by the quality of the support processes and services. As a solution to support all institutional processes in a context of continuous improvement, quality assurance and relevance, the Information Management System called "SISCE" is presented.

Ontologies are important components of health information management systems. As such, the quality of their content is of paramount importance. It has been proven to be practical to develop quality assurance (QA) methodologies based on automated identification of sets of concepts expected to have higher likelihood of errors. Four kinds of such sets (called QA-sets) organized around the themes of complex and uncommonly modeled concepts are introduced. A survey of different methodologies based on these QA-sets and the results of applying them to various ontologies are presented. Overall, following these approaches leads to higher QA yields and better utilization of QA personnel. The formulation of additional QA-set methodologies will further enhance the suite of available ontology QA tools.

Objective: To assess the progress made towards the actualization of the 80% reduction in incident cases, monitor trends and to assess the quality of GWM TB surveillance data from 2012 to 2016.Design: The study was descriptive secondary data analysisData Source: Tuberculosis cases recorded in the District Health Information Management Systems (DHIMS) and municipal TB registers. The Municipal TB Coordinator was interviewed for clarification on the data. A TB patient was defined as one who coughed persistently for two weeks or more.Main outcome measure: Trend of TB cases in Ga West MunicipalityResults: A total of 441 TB cases were registered of which 68.9% were smear positive. Males were (67%). Age group 35-44 years were the most affected (28.6%). The incidence rose from 21.5 (2012) to 41.6 (2015). The 2016 incidence was 40.7 (± 5.63) per 100,000 population. This is significantly different from the current national incidence of 156 (p < 0.05). Data was 95% complete. Discrepancies existed between data in registers compared to the DHIMS but were not statistically significant.Conclusion: The 80% reduction in incident cases target may not be attained by the GWM due to the rising number of incident cases. However, data quality is good.Keywords: Tuberculosis, data analysis, DHIMS 2, tuberculosis, incident casesFunding: The study was funded by the authors

Multi-agent distributed systems are characterized by autonomous entities that interact with each other to provide, and/or request, different kinds of services. In several contexts, especially when a reward is offered according to the quality of service, individual agents (or coordinated groups) may act in a selfish way. To prevent such behaviours, distributed Reputation Management Systems (RMSs) provide every agent with the capability of computing the reputation of the others according to direct past interactions, as well as indirect opinions reported by their neighbourhood. This last point introduces a weakness on gossiped information that makes RMSs vulnerable to malicious agents’ intent on disseminating false reputation values. Given the variety of application scenarios in which RMSs can be adopted, as well as the multitude of behaviours that agents can implement, designers need RMS evaluation tools that allow them to predict the robustness of the system to security attacks, before its actual deployment. To this aim, we present a simulation software for the vulnerability evaluation of RMSs and illustrate three case studies in which this tool was effectively used to model and assess state-of-the-art RMSs.
