However, despite an accumulating IT planning literature, empirical knowledge about the conduct of IT planning remains quite limited. The authors empirically examine a number of key issues associated with managing the conduct of IT planning within a single large enterprise. A central premise of this research is that IT planning processes are affected by forces in the environmental and organizational contexts. Thus, success in IT planning requires the selection of systems that will elicit the actions and behaviors necessary for dealing with these contexts. This underlying logic is used to develop a conceptual model for research.

There is no established infrastructure to deal with these data in a consistent and successful fashion. This thesis presents a new informatics platform capable of supporting a large subsection of the experimental methods found in modem biology. A consistent data definition strategy is outlined that can handle gel electrophoresis, microarray, fluorescence activated cell sorting, mass spectrometry, and microscopy within a single coherent set of information object definitions. A key issue for interoperability is that common attributes are made truly identical between the different methods. This dramatically decreases the overhead of separate and distinct classes for each method, and reserves the uniqueness for attributes that are different between the methods. Thus, at least one higher level of integration is obtained. The thesis shows that rich object-oriented modeling together with object-relational database features and the uniform treatment of data and metadata is an ideal candidate for complex experimental information integration tasks. This claim is substantiated by elaborating on the coherent set of information object definitions and testing the corresponded database using real experimental data. A first implementation of this work--ExperiBase--is an integrated software platform to store and query data generated by the leading experimental protocols used in biology within a single database. It provides: comprehensive database features for searching and classifying; web-based client interfaces; web services; data import and export capabilities to accommodate other data repositories; and direct support for metadata produced by analysis programs. Using JDBC, Java Servlets and Java Server Pages, SOAP, XML, and IIOP/CORBA's technologies, the information architecture is portable and platform independent. The thesis develops an ExperiBase XML according to the single coherent set of information object definitions, and also presents a new way of database federation--translating heterogeneous database schemas into the common ExperiBase XML schema and then merging the output: XML messages to get data federated. ExperiBase has become a reference implementation of the I3C Life Science Object Ontologies group.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29efd8b0dc408989948c5364cdafe6338/p_ansell}, keywords = {Mechanical Engineering} } @article{zeigler1977, title = {Constructs for the specifications of models and experimental frames}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Bernard P.

The authors see the future as a developing web of people and organizations, bound together in a dynamic and unpredictable way, creating smart outcomes from quickly (re-) configuring links between actors. The question is: What should be done to make the outcomes of such a network 'smart', that is, just a little better than that of your competitor? More agile, with less pain, with more return to all the members of the network, now and over time? The technical answer is to create a 'business operating system' that should run business processes on different organizational platforms. Business processes would become portable: The end-to-end management of processes running across many different organizations in many different forms would become possible. This article presents an energizing discussion of smart business networks and the research challenges ahead.

Expectations that lsquohardrsquo (quantitative) systems analysis would lead to better answers to policy problems have largely been disappointed. Yet systems theory has itself moved on, to embrace the concept of autopoiesis and a variety of soft systems methodologies. Collectively, these theories offer a way of analysing policy quite distinct from the institutionalist approaches which tend to dominate the theory and practice of policy-making. Rather than selecting instruments to fit a particular kind of policy problem (the conventional approach to policy design) systems analysis suggests that the nature of the problem cannot be understood separately from its solution. For policy problems characterised by complexity (such as those concerned with environmental management and regulation, and urban re-development) using systems concepts offers a way of rationalising aspects of existing practice and of suggesting directions for improvement.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/286934deb12627b6b96559f704803d5d8/p_ansell}, keywords = {imported} }
