Abstract In analyzing design and manufacturing tasks and their mutual interactions, it appears that the underlying information of these tasks is of the utmost importance. If this information is managed on an integral level, in a formalized, structured way, it can serve as a basis for the control of design and manufacturing processes. The ontological description that is used for this purpose is elaborated upon. It is indicated how an ontological description of the information content can govern design and manufacturing processes, and support their execution with all required information and functionality of resources. Moreover, it is expound how the ontological description can serve as the basis for integrating information that, in industry, is often dispersedly managed in separate coexisting data management systems. Furthermore, a framework is proposed for the implementation of an Information Management system as well as for the additional applications that utilize its functionality. Finally, a pilot implementation at a large Dutch industrial company is discussed concerning the aspect of integrating dispersedly managed information. This implementation is also compared to some currently available commercial solutions in this area that were tested at the company as well.

Background The use of electronic charge vouchers in anesthesia practice is limited, and the effects on practice management are unreported. The authors hypothesized that the new billing technology would improve the effectiveness of the billing interface and enhance financial practice management measures. Methods A custom application was created to extract billing elements from the anesthesia information management system. The application incorporates business rules to determine whether individual cases have all required elements for a complete and compliant bill. The metrics of charge lag and days in accounts receivable were assessed before and after the implementation of the electronic charge voucher system. Results The average charge lag decreased by 7.3 days after full implementation. The total days in accounts receivable, controlling for fee schedule changes and credit balances, decreased by 10.1 days after implementation, representing a one-time revenue gain equivalent to 3.0% of total annual receipts. There are additional ongoing cost savings related to reduction of personnel and expenses related to paper charge voucher handling. Conclusions Anesthesia information management systems yield financial and operational benefits by speeding up the revenue cycle and by reducing direct costs and compliance risks related to the billing and collection processes. The observed reductions in charge lag and days in accounts receivable may be of benefit in calculating the return on investment that is attributable to the adoption of anesthesia information management systems and electronic charge transmission.

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, it has been widely used in various fields. IoT device as an information collection unit can be built into an information management system with an information processing and storage unit composed of multiple servers. However, a large amount of sensitive data contained in IoT devices is transmitted in the system under the actual wireless network environment will cause a series of security issues and will become inefficient in the scenario where a large number of devices are concurrently accessed. If each device is individually authenticated, the authentication overhead is huge, and the network burden is excessive. Aiming at these problems, we propose a protocol that is efficient authentication for Internet of Things devices in information management systems. In the proposed scheme, aggregated certificateless signcryption is used to complete mutual authentication and encrypted transmission of data, and a cloud server is introduced to ensure service continuity and stability. This scheme is suitable for scenarios where large-scale IoT terminal devices are simultaneously connected to the information management system. It not only reduces the authentication overhead but also ensures the user privacy and data integrity. Through the experimental results and security analysis, it is indicated that the proposed scheme is suitable for information management systems.

In the following work the authors attempt to find the best way to design a dynamic structural model of information management system of moving objects. This structural model allows organizing various management systems of moving objects, considering the spatial and time dependencies between the key components or parameters of the said management system. An example of such system may be a group of UAVs.

The calibration wells laboratory is an important experimental system of petroleum logging instrument. There is a large of calibration wells information need manage, so it is very difficult to manage the calibration wells information. In this paper, computer information management system is applied to the calibration wells information management. It is necessary to manage the large of the calibration wells information. Because the calibration wells have the similar shape, it is difficult to detect the calibration wells in the laboratory. Therefore, the mobile phone platform and QR two-dimensional bar code technology are introduced to strengthen the management of calibration wells information. These will greatly improve the efficiency of management. The QR bar code and the zBar technology are used in the information system. The design of calibration wells group information management system is implemented based on QR code. The mobile platform is used to collect and display information. The experiments show the good performance of the information management systems.

Increasingly more enterprises are intending to deploy data management systems in the cloud. However, the complexity of software development significantly increases both time and learning costs of data management system development. In this paper, we investigate the coding-free construction of a data management system based on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) architecture, in which a practical application platform and a set of construction methods are proposed. Specifically, by extracting the common features of data management systems, we design a universal web platform to quickly generate and publish customized system instances. Then, we propose a method to develop a lightweight data management system using a specific requirements table in a spreadsheet. The corresponding platform maps the requirements table into a system instance by parsing the table model and implementing the objective system in the running stage. Finally, we implement the proposed framework and deploy it on the web. The empirical results demonstrate the feasibility and availability of the coding-free method for developing lightweight web data management systems.
