Download or read book Real World Decision Support Systems written by Jason Papathanasiou and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents real-world decision support systems, i.e., systems that have been running for some time and as such have been tested in real environments and complex situations; the cases are from various application domains and highlight the best practices in each stage of the system’s life cycle, from the initial requirements analysis and design phases to the final stages of the project. Each chapter provides decision-makers with recommendations and insights into lessons learned so that failures can be avoided and successes repeated. For this reason unsuccessful cases, which at some point of their life cycle were deemed as failures for one reason or another, are also included. All decision support systems are presented in a constructive, coherent and deductive manner to enhance the learning effect. It complements the many works that focus on theoretical aspects or individual module design and development by offering ‘good’ and ‘bad’ practices when developing and using decision support systems. Combining high-quality research with real-world implementations, it is of interest to researchers and professionals in industry alike.

Download or read book Business Intelligence written by Rimvydas Skyrius and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the managerial dimensions of business intelligence (BI) systems. It develops a set of guidelines for value creation by implementing business intelligence systems and technologies. In particular the book looks at BI as a process – driven by a mix of human and technological capabilities – to serve complex information needs in building insights and providing aid in decision making. After an introduction to the key concepts of BI and neighboring areas of information processing, the book looks at the complexity and multidimensionality of BI. It tackles both data integration and information integration issues. Bodies of knowledge and other widely accepted collections of experience are presented and turned into lessons learned. Following a straightforward introduction to the processes and technologies of BI the book embarks on BI maturity and agility, the components, drivers and inhibitors of BI culture and soft BI factors like attention, sense and trust. Eventually the book attempts to provide a holistic view on business intelligence, possible structures and tradeoffs and embarks to provide an outlook on possible developments in BI and analytics.
Download or read book Advancing Research in Information and Communication Technology written by Michael Goedicke and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 60 years the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) has been advancing research in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This book looks into both past experiences and future perspectives using the core of IFIP's competence, its Technical Committees (TCs) and Working Groups (WGs). Soon after IFIP was founded, it established TCs and related WGs to foster the exchange and development of the scientific and technical aspects of information processing. IFIP TCs are as diverse as the different aspects of information processing, but they share the following aims: To establish and maintain liaison with national and international organizations with allied interests and to foster cooperative action, collaborative research, and information exchange. To identify subjects and priorities for research, to stimulate theoretical work on fundamental issues, and to foster fundamental research which will underpin future development. To provide a forum for professionals with a view to promoting the study, collection, exchange, and dissemination of ideas, information, and research findings and thereby to promote the state of the art. To seek and use the most effective ways of disseminating information about IFIP’s work including the organization of conferences, workshops and symposia and the timely production of relevant publications. To have special regard for the needs of developing countries and to seek practicable ways of working with them. To encourage communication and to promote interaction between users, practitioners, and researchers. To foster interdisciplinary work and – in particular – to collaborate with other Technical Committees and Working Groups. The 17 contributions in this book describe the scientific, technical, and further work in TCs and WGs and in many cases also assess the future consequences of the work’s results. These contributions explore the developments of IFIP and the ICT profession now and over the next 60 years. The contributions are arranged per TC and conclude with the chapter on the IFIP code of ethics and conduct.

Download or read book Organizing for the Digital World written by Federico Cabitza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that “organizing” is a broader term than managing, as it entails understanding how people and machines interact with each other; how resources, data, goods are exchanged in complex and intertwined value chains; and how lines of action and activities can be articulated using flexible protocols and often ad-hoc processes in situated practices of use and production. The book presents a collection of research papers shedding new light on these phenomena and related practices from both academic and professional perspectives. Given the plurality of views that it offers, the book makes a relevant contribution to the understanding and appreciation of the complexity of the digital world at various levels of granularity. It focuses on how individuals, communities and the coopetitive societies of our new, global and hyperconnected world produce value and pursue their objectives and ideals in mutually dependent ways. The content of the book is based on a selection of the best papers - original double-blind peer-reviewed contributions - presented at the annual conference of the Italian chapter of the AIS, which was held in Milan, Italy in October 2017.

Download or read book Computer Supported Collaborative Decision Making written by Florin Gheorghe Filip and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about how management and control decisions are made by persons who collaborate and possibly use the support of an information system. The decision is the result of human conscious activities aiming at choosing a course of action for attaining a certain objective (or a set of objectives). The act of collaboration implies that several entities who work together and share responsibilities to jointly plan, implement and evaluate a program of activities to achieve the common goals. The book is intended to present a balanced view of the domain to include both well-established concepts and a selection of new results in the domains of methods and key technologies. It is meant to answer several questions, such as: a) “How are evolving the business models towards the ever more collaborative schemes?”; b) “What is the role of the decision-maker in the new context?” c) “What are the basic attributes and trends in the domain of decision-supporting information systems?”; d) “Which are the basic methods to aggregate the individual preferences?” e)“What is the impact of modern information and communication technologies on the design and usage of decision support systems for groups of people?”.
Download or read book Business Information Needs and Satisfaction written by Rimvydas Skyrius and published by Informing Science. This book was released on with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamic and turbulent second half of the 20th century, as well as the beginning of the 21st century, have been and still are accompanied by factors relating to information in one or other way: information technologies (IT), information systems (IS), information society, information economy and others. The technical foundation of these factors – the contemporary information technologies – became widely adopted, accessible to many users, and keep being perfected in terms of their functions and performance. IT developments have been followed by substantial value expectations that largely drive the IT industry as one of the most dynamic industries in the world. It is hard to underestimate the value created by IT applications, especially when an insightful use of IT has provided its users with opportunities that had been unheard of just a short time ago. On the other hand, the history of IT use brings out numerous cases that are not too successful, and from the time perspective, we can state that a wide application of IT does not automatically guarantee the creation of more value or efficient activities, regardless of proven potential. Apart from this, the role of IT in the life of contemporary society develops some controversial features: considering that information activities demand more and more time and attention that are rather scarce resources in the activities of a society member, the use of said resources is far from efficient. It has to be noted that this book discusses information needs and the role of information technologies in satisfying them. Although information issues are often discussed in relation to knowledge issues, and many sources point out that the two are closely related, this book does not discuss either the definition of knowledge or knowledge management, with the exception of several inevitable touch points. Business information activities and information functions often are considered secondary to the main activities, but actually they are a vital binding environment for any rational activities. Information has been important for all activities and at all times; nevertheless, its role received deeper and more focused research only with the proliferation of computer information technologies. The area of IT use and servicing of information needs is rather complicated and requires substantial knowledge and competence. The amount of experience accumulated in the field is huge; however, part of it has a short life cycle due to the rapid advance of information technologies. It is no easy task to search the kaleidoscopic variety of IT application problems for solid reference points that would hold over time. The monograph presents an assumption that the search for such reference points should start in the area of user information needs. The area of satisfying information needs, and business information needs in particular, has merited research interest for a long time and in many aspects. A number of important sub-areas has developed over time: management information systems, data and information management, information strategy, decision support, business intelligence, information economy, etc. It is worth noting that in the area of satisfying complex information needs, for some time principal attention has been given to the topics of decision support, decision modeling, and expert systems. Over time, other topics came in to replace them, namely, business intelligence, although it would be fair to note that current research in business intelligence and related fields largely owes to the previous foundation work of decision support researchers. Regardless of the vast number of research publications, the research space lacks work that is centered around an information user (a person, a group, an entire organization) and the projection of user information needs into the potential of information technologies and systems.
