Common Understanding

Modern information systems are becoming increasingly complex due to the need to combine heterogeneous software. A common understanding of interoperability issues is not a trivial task since complex systems may contain many independent software components. This work presents a Conceptual frAmework for Pragmatic InTeroperAbiLity (CAPITAL) to enhance a pragmatic interoperability unified definition. We evaluate our framework through a modeling and coding guide, a controlled experiment, and applying CAPITAL in the Cloud Computing domain. Results suggest that CAPITAL positively influences the understanding, modeling, and codification of pragmatic interoperability solutions, facilitating pragmatic interoperability standardization opportunities.

The Relationship

In 2007, cloud computing was introduced to the IT dictionary. The theme is attracting growing interest from both the IT world and the business players who need to enhance information systems agility, reduced costs, or reduce dependence on internal IT teams when they are judged too slow. However, the fact that cloud computing, as presented by providers, increases the agility is unclear. Business managers, IT professional, and academics are querying the relationship between cloud computing and IT agility. This chapter aims to understand cloud computing's role in improving IT agility by introducing recent studies in the IS and IT management literature. This chapter argues that cloud computing impact IS performance by organizational capabilities (agility). The authors also propose a conceptual framework to improve IS agility by cloud computing based on DevOps. One of the primary motivations of this research is the lack of fieldwork when considering how cloud computing improves information systems agility.

Abstract Modern information systems are built fron a complex composition of networks, infrastructure, devices, services, and applications, interconnected by data flows that are often private and financially sensitive. The 5G networks, which can create hyperlocalized services, have highlighted many of the deficiencies of current practices in use today to create and operate information systems. Emerging cloud computing techniques, such as Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and elastic computing, o↵er a path for a future re-imagining of how we create, deploy, secure, operate, and retire information systems. In this paper, we articulate the position that a comprehensive new approach is needed for all OSI layers from layer 2 up to applications that are built on underlying principles that include reproducibility, continuous integration/continuous delivery, auditability, and versioning. There are obvious needs to redesign and optimize the protocols from the network layer to the application layer. Our vision seeks to augment existing Cloud Computing and Networking solutions with support for multiple cloud infrastructures and seamless integration of cloud-based microservices. To address these issues, we propose an approach named Open Infrastructure as Code (OpenIaC), which is an attempt to provide a common open forum to integrate and build on advances in cloud computing and blockchain to address the needs of modern information architectures. The main mission of our OpenIaC approach is to provide services based on the principles of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) among the federation of connected resources based on Decentralized Identity (DID). Our objectives include the creation of an open-source hub with fine-grained access control for an open and connected infrastructure of shared resources (sensing, storage, computing, 3D printing, etc.) managed by blockchains and federations. Our proposed approach has the potential to provide a path for developing new platforms, business models, and a modernized information ecosystem necessary for 5G networks.

The purpose – The purpose of the article was an attempt to assess the significance of two spheres connected with the functioning of DMOs, i.e. internet marketing and the development of modern technologies and information systems. Design – The study covers theoretical issues connected with the essence of destination management organizations as the basic organizational structures in the tourism sector, and with the significance of the Internet and modern information technologies in the activities of these organizations. The second part of the study covers the empirical issues of the problem analyzed. Approach and methodology – Apart from theoretical deliberations, it provides the review of previous research. Moreover, the results of the author’s research were used with the aid of the diagnostic survey technique. The results from 53 DMOs that represent 19 European states were obtained. Findings – The quantity of expenditures on information technologies was defined in the structure of the total expenditures on the part of DMOs. The average value for all the organizations under analysis was 10.9%. Owing to the application of the point grading method (Likert scale), it was demonstrated that internet marketing and the development of modern technologies and information systems are becoming increasingly more important areas of the activities. Originality of the research – The originality is evident in the insights it provides about use of modern information technologies and the Internet in the activities of DMO. The empirical deliberations presented in this article should become an important point of reference for many DMOs and should emphasize the growing significance of information technologies.

Subject. The article addresses a simulation in the structured query language (SQL) for the Bloomberg information base, the scientifically grounded tools for measuring emotions in markets in the face of financial and pandemic crisis and market imbalances, in addition to classic financial indicators, the creation of analytical tools based on state-of-the-art software tools that integrate the latest advances in behavioral finance and in financial and coefficient analysis, machine learning technologies, and open financial market data. Objectives. The aim is to create a usable toolkit for balanced evaluation of financial and economic situation of companies, based on the analysis of the main Russian and foreign modern means to measure emotions. Methods. The study employs methods of induction, deduction, and modeling. It demonstrates the link between methods and methodologies with new technical means of modern information systems. Results. The paper studies the effect of the heuristics of insufficient reaction and heuristics of excessive self-confidence, using the examples of market drawdown. I developed and implemented a model, using the behavioral finance tools as a factor in stabilizing financial decisions. Conclusions. New software and hardware tools enabled to identify and measure the actions of the heuristics of financial market participants. Financial analysts, when applying the new capabilities of modern information systems for programming and creating user models with required parameters and extensive database, will have new opportunities in the described models. The procedure for collecting and processing the original information required for valuation is simplified.

Cloud computing services mature both economically and technologically and play a more and more extensive role in the domain of software and information systems engineering. SaaS offers advantage for both service providers and consumers. SaaS is faced with the question of appropriate techniques applying at early phase of Requirements engineering of producing system. The paper highlights two traditional methods namely i* and VORD belonging respectively to Goal oriented Requirements Engineering and Viewpoints approaches. The approach proposed try to dealing with the requirements elicitation in the context of Software-as-a-service SaaS. So, the approach benefits from strengths of both VORD and i* models and propose a combination of them in a new approach namely VORDi*.
