This paper presents a functional analysis of the information needs of a chemical company for its response to hazardous material spills. An information system model, which formed the framework for this analysis, is presented. The analysis identified data requirements to support decision making and functional requirements to support communication of these decisions to the involved people and agencies. These requirements were compared to the existing system to identify current limitations. Potential solutions for overcoming these limitations are discussed.

Дан обзор систем сейсмометрического мониторинга зданий и сооружений, приведено описание инженерносейсмометрического метода оценки их технического состояния. Разработаны модель и структура информационной системы сейсмометрического мониторинга плотин ГЭС, отвечающие заданным функциональным требованиям. Описаны процессы сбора, обработки, хранения и анализа данных для регистрации сейсмических событий и контроля технического состояния. На основе модели системы и технологии анализа данных сейсмометрического мониторинга разработаны и запущены в эксплуатацию автоматизированные системы сейсмометрического контроля технического состояния Красноярской и Зейской ГЭС. Системы обеспечивают регистрацию сейсмических событий интенсивностью выше двух баллов по шкале MSK64 на плотине и плановопериодическую регистрацию микросейсмических колебаний плотины в режиме штатной эксплуатации оборудования. The purpose of this study is to create information system for seismometric monitoring of the technical condition of hydroelectric dams. To achieve this, the authors of the article used modern methods and principles for designing software and technical systems. The methodological basis of this system is the engineeringseismometric method. The registered vibrations determine the dynamic and elastic characteristics of the structure. Analyzing their variations and taking into account the influence of factors of external influences, it is possible to estimate the technical condition of the structure. The authors provide a survey of seismometric monitoring systems for buildings and structures, defined main technical and functional requirements, which a monitoring system should provide. A model and a structure of the information system for seismometric monitoring of hydroelectric dams were developed using structural analysis technique. The paper describes the processes of collecting, processing, storing and analyzing data for seismic events recording and monitoring the technical condition. Based on the system model and the technology for seismometric monitoring data, automated systems for seismometric monitoring for the dams of Krasnoyarsk and Zeya hydroelectric stations were developed and put into operation. The systems provide registration of seismic events with an intensity of more than 2 points on the MSK64 scale on the dam and scheduled periodic recording of microseismic dam oscillations in the normal operation of equipment for monitoring the technical condition.

Monitoring Information

One of the final requirements in academic education for students is to conduct scientific research as outlined in the form of a final thesis. The large number of students taking research courses, makes the Accounting Study Program of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Mercu Buana University difficult to monitor the implementation of the thesis in every semester. With this problem, the researcher aims to build an information system to monitor the thesis that can record all the processes from the beginning of choosing the topic, taking the thesis exam and the graduation done by students. The urgent need for the development of a thesis monitoring information system is the reason for choosing a method of developing Rapid Application Development (RAD), so that the wishes of the Head of Accounting Department of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Mercu Buana University can be fulfilled immediately. The RAD stage that has been carried out is the requirement gathering stage which covers the needs of the operational environment, functional requirements, information needs, and interface requirements. The design phase consists of conceptual schema design, database design and interface design. The result of this research is a thesis monitoring system which has been tested and applied to the Accounting Study Program at Mercu Buana University. This system helps for both students in thesis consultation and the head of accounting in monitoring thesis students effectively and efficiently.

In 1997, the ASHS Board of Directors established ASHS HortBase as a Standing Committee of the Society. The ASHS HortBase Committee, a six-member Standing Committee and Chair, is charged to implement and maintain ASHS HortBase. The members of the ASHS HortBase Committee will be chair and chair-elect of the three HortBase Task Forces: 1) Finance and Marketing; 2) Standards—authoring, reviewing, and publishing; and 3) Technology. ASHS HortBase is a dispersed, dynamic horticultural information system (network) on the WWW comprised of peer—reviewed, concise, interlinked information modules to meet the information needs of instructors and students, gardeners and growers. A strong advantage and distinguishing characteristic of ASHS HortBase is our dynamic pool of potential authors, reviewers, and users (ASHS Extension, Industry, and Teaching membership) to continually evolve and update the peer-reviewed information in HortBase. We have the scholastic international standing to provide peer review and validation of the information and to recognition to the authors, coupled with the marketing to stimulate wide use of their information modules. ASHS HortBase is a dispersed system (dispersed development and server costs). The “dispersed cost” for information file development and updating and delivery on the respective authors' dispersed servers disperses the major costs of the HortBase information system. Additional information on ASHS HortBase and the papers presented at the 4-h Colloquium on HortBase at ASHS-97 can be found at http://[email protected] or contact me ([email protected], phone 541.737.5452, fax 541.737.3479).

A useful Information System is difficult to conceive and develop. Research on technology has revealed that end-user likes or dislikes may matter towards the success or failure of information system (IS). A highly complicated system in which developers have put lots of development efforts may fail if the end-user dislikes it after its initial installation. In software engineering literature it is claimed that system rejection is mostly caused by not meeting the non-functional requirements. In this paper, a study is being done on ‘turnitin®’ as technology and its acceptance to a group of students in order to find out confirmation of result as claimed by TAM while it is a post implementation research activity for technology acceptance.

Purpose This paper presents the results of a qualitative study that involved students of an interdisciplinary PhD program. The study objective was to gather requirements to create a knowledge graph information system. The purpose of this study was to determine information-seeking practices and information needs of this community, to inform the functionalities of a proposed system, intended to help students with relevant resource discovery and decision-making. Design/methodology/approach The study design included semi-structured interviews with eight members of the community, followed by a website usability study with the same student participants. Findings Two main information-seeking styles are recognized and reported through user personas of international and domestic (USA) students. The findings show that the useful information resides within the community and not so much on the program website. Students rely on peer communication, although they report lack of opportunities to connect. Students’ information needs and information seeking are dependent on their progress through the program, as well as their motivation and the projected timeline. Practical implications Considering the current information needs and practices, a knowledge graph hosting both information on social networks and the knowledge produced by the activities of the community members would be useful. By recording data on their activities (for example, collaboration with professors and coursework), students would reveal further useful system functionalities and facilitate transfer of tacit knowledge. Originality/value Aside from the practical value of this research that is directly influencing the design of a system, it contributes to the body of knowledge on interdisciplinary PhD programs.

AbstractNatural language (NL) is pervasive in software requirements specifications (SRSs). However, despite its popularity and widespread use, NL is highly prone to quality issues such as vagueness, ambiguity, and incompleteness. Controlled natural languages (CNLs) have been proposed as a way to prevent quality problems in requirements documents, while maintaining the flexibility to write and communicate requirements in an intuitive and universally understood manner. In collaboration with an industrial partner from the financial domain, we systematically develop and evaluate a CNL, named Rimay, intended at helping analysts write functional requirements. We rely on Grounded Theory for building Rimay and follow well-known guidelines for conducting and reporting industrial case study research. Our main contributions are: (1) a qualitative methodology to systematically define a CNL for functional requirements; this methodology is intended to be general for use across information-system domains, (2) a CNL grammar to represent functional requirements; this grammar is derived from our experience in the financial domain, but should be applicable, possibly with adaptations, to other information-system domains, and (3) an empirical evaluation of our CNL (Rimay) through an industrial case study. Our contributions draw on 15 representative SRSs, collectively containing 3215 NL requirements statements from the financial domain. Our evaluation shows that Rimay is expressive enough to capture, on average, 88% (405 out of 460) of the NL requirements statements in four previously unseen SRSs from the financial domain.
