Maintenance of railway permanent way infrastructure plays a vital role in protecting the safety of railway transport. The infrastructure management of railway permanent way rarely involves effective information technology, causing the lack of supplies basis and the difficulty in tracking the relevant information of materials when problems arise in the facilities performance. This article introduced the concept of life-cycle management into the management of maintenance-of-way infrastructure and studied the information coding work on various stages of the life cycle. Simultaneously, the paper discussed how to integrate the resource of facilities and materials with the information management of maintenance-of-way infrastructure in the light of this theory.

Infrastructure has to be adequately planned, designed, executed and maintained to keep its structural performance over respective requirements throughout its life-cycle. However, infrastructure suffering from serious deterioration in structural members and subsequent loss in performance have been often found due to various reasons. To meet these facts, it is extremely important to pursue coordination of engineering work in the stages of design, execution and maintenance. The infrastructure management including the concepts of the life-cycle management and the asset management is an organized system to support engineering-based decision making for ensuring sufficient structural performance and long life of a structure at the design, execution, maintenance, and all related work during its life-cycle. This paper deals with infrastructure management system and an example of its application for a road bridge from seriously deteriorated.

The management of the information technology in a virtual medical service centre is subject to different requirements than the IT-management of a hospital resembling more a closed shop. Building a virtual centre calls for performance of an open shop principle, because the entire treatment chain cannot be mapped within one single institution, but requires integrated cooperation in order to manage a patient’s clinical pathway. Not only the spatial displacement, but also the unavoidable higher process orientation within a virtual cooperation deserves particular consideration. Additionally, the information management is challenged by the fact that the provision of relevant information in standardised form is an indispensable element of a virtual centre. In this context, the question about potential structural assembling, and organisational principles and elements of virtual medical service centres has to be answered in order to conclude on the basic requirements of data management and the appropriate solution approaches. This shall be presented partly using the example of the virtual oncological medical centre in Tyrol.

The People

We now switch to another crucial topic within a net-centric environment, and that is to address the digital storage needs within a global distributed environment. We address the need for greater storage; provide information as to how to determine storage requirements. We introduce the concept of storage life cycle management and discuss information management stages. A review of storage architecture is then provided which defines DAS, SAN and NAS. We go on to provide enterprise storage architecture design guidelines, and discuss the choices of centralized storage vs. distributed storage, vs. hybrid storage. We provide storage questions to consider for the enterprise and the net-centric challenges that lie ahead. We also discuss the people and processes and the dependency on network and communications.
