Constructing global view with an ontology-based method for information sharing in the virtual organization

The problem of constructing global view of heterogeneous information sources for information sharing is becoming more and more important due to the availability of multiple information sources within the virtual organization. Global view is defined to provide a unified representation of the information in the different sources by analyzing concept schemas associated with them and resolving possible semantic heterogeneity. An ontology-based method for global view construction is proposed. In the method, （ 1 ） Based on the formal ontologies, the concept of semantic affinity is introduced to assess the level of semantic relationship between information classes from different information sources; （2） Information classes are classified by semantic affinity levels using clustering procedures so that their different representations can be analyzed for unification; （3） Global view is constructed starting from selected clusters by unifying representation of their elements. The application example of using the method in the joint-aerial defense organization is illustrated and the result shows that the proposed method is feasible.

Virtual Organization Information Systems and its Reengineering for Agile Manufacturing

It is now possible to organize globally while worki ng locally: Information technologies like e-mail, the Internet, and video confere ncing to the desktop permit tight coordination of geographically dispersed worke rs across time zones and cultures. Companies are not limited to physical locatio ns for providing products and services. Networked information systems are allowi ng companies to coordinate their geographically distributed capabilities as virt ual organizations. In order for organizations to succeed, they must be able to r espond with agility in a geographically dispersed environment. The core for a vi rtual organization to increase the utilization rate of resources to the maxi mum and to make full use of the transient market opportunities lies in how to br ing the potential of information technology into play. Based on the philosophy o f agile manufacturing, this paper analyses the basic concepts and connotation of Virtual Organization Information systems(VOIS). VOIS is an information system composed of some independent information subsystems that are autonomous, collab orative and belong to umpty organizations respectively. VOIS support the operati on of virtual organization, and automate the information flow across organizatio nal boundaries. Such systems have capabilities as rapid construction, quick oper ation, and agile reengineering and swift adaptability. Differences between VOIS and traditional enterprise information systems are analyzed. On the basis of ana lyzing the structure of VOIS, an abstract hierarchical structure of VOIS is prop osed using object-oriented method. Reengineering ideology and methods of VOIS a re also explored in light of the three layers structure.

The Dynamic Modeling Algorithm of Information Organization and Allocation Problem on Internet Communications

With the frequent information accesses from users to the Internet, it is important to organize and allocate information resources properly on different web servers. This paper considers the following problem; Due to the capacity limitation of each single web server, it is impossible to put all information resources on one web server. Hence it is an important problem to put them on several different servers such as: (1) the amount of information resources assigned on any server is less than its capacity; (2) the access bottleneck can be avoided. In order to solve the problem in which the access frequency is variable, this paper proposes a dynamic optimal modeling. Based on the computational complexity results, the paper further focuses on the genetic algorithm for solving the dynamic problem. Finally we give the simulation results and conclusions.

Significance of the astrocyte domain organization for qualitative information structuring in the brain

Astrocytes, the dominant glial cell type, modulate synaptic information transmission. Each astrocyte is organized in non-overlapping domains. Here, a formally based model of the possible significance of astrocyte domain organization is proposed. It is hypothesized that each astrocyte contacting n neurons with m synapses via its processes generates dynamic domains of synaptic interactions based on qualitative criteria so that it exerts a structuring of neuronal information processing. The formalism (morpho-grammatics) describes the combinatorics of the various astrocytic receptor types for occupancy with cognate neurotransmitters. Astrocytic processes are able both to contact synapses and retract from them. Rhythmic oscillations of the astrocyte may program the domain organization, where clock genes may play a role in rhythm generation. For the interpretation of a domain organization a player of a string instrument is used as a paradigm. Since astrocytes form networks (syncytia), the interactions between astrocyte domains may be comparable to the improvisations in a jazz ensemble. Given the fact of a high combinational complexity of an astrocyte domain organization, which is formally demonstrable, and an uncomputable complexity of a network of astrocyte domains, the model proposed may not be testable in biological brains, but robotics could be a real alternative.

Model Analysis of the Relationship Between Strategic Organization Knowledge and the Use of Information Systems in Firm Performance in Brazil

Information Technology （IT） consolidates as an essential element to support the business strategies to survive and rapidly adapts to changes in the competitive environment. This paper examines the impact of the use of information systems （IS） and strategic organization knowledge （SOK） on firm performance in 150 Brazilian companies. The study uses partial least squares structural equation modeling （PLS-SEM） and establishes models to express the relationship among the constructs examined. The study identifies that the direct influence of 1S use on performance is moderately significant. However, when mediated by orientation strategy, the total effect of IS use on firm performance is demonstrated to be highly significant. The model explains 54% of the variability of firm performance and confirms IS use as a fundamental resource to support strategic business processes.

Research on Ubiquitous Map Information Organization Oriented to Location-Based Aggregation

In the era of information and communication technology (ICT) and big data, the map gradually shows a new qualitative feature of “spatiotemporal ubiquitous” due to the extension of its object space and the geographic information it contains, which brings new challenges to map information organization. This paper analyzes the concept and information characteristics of the ubiquitous map. Based on that, it proposes a ubiquitous map information organization model oriented to location-based aggregation. This new model includes three parts as “ubiquitous map instance”, “location-based aggregation mode” and “map scene”. This paper focuses on the “map scene” part which is the core of the model and contains two mutually mapped aspects as “content scene” and “representation scene”. And both aspects are divided into three levels as “features” ←→ “elements” ←→ “scenes” according to ubiquitous map information characteristics and location-based aggregation mode. With cases of map decomposition, the application of the model is explained to illustrate its effectiveness. The model is expected to provide powerful data organization and management capabilities for ubiquitous map production and use.

An Examination on the Support of Library Information to the Construction of National Research Organizations

The country’s economic development determines the political and cultural status.At the present time,China’s rapid economic development has greatly improved the country’s international prominence.Although China has high economic and political achievements,China’s cultural soft power is still in a weak position.Cultural soft power is of great significance in improving the country’s overall national strength and international competitiveness.Research organizations are an important part of the country’s soft power and are of great significance to the strengthening of national soft power.Research organizations are the“peripheral brain”in the decision-making process of the government.National government agencies need democratic science in making decisions,and the adopted policy methods must have positive and effective outcomes on the people.Therefore,the national government agencies cannot achieve this without the help of research organizations.This resulted in the development and rising construction of research organizations.With the comprehensive development and construction of research organizations,whilst making progress,has also exposed several shortcomings.The construction of China’s research organizations requires various supports;especially the intelligence agencies and access to library information,which has a unique advantage in promoting the construction of research organizations[1].This paper first introduces the definition,classification and characteristics of a research organization.It will also provide a preliminary understanding of research organizations.The paper will then highlight and analyze the problems encountered by the research organization.Finally,through the grasp of the advantages of the library and intelligence agencies,a solution is proposed.

Applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in Information Technology System to Evaluate the Adoption of Decision Support System

With the beginning of the information systems’ spreading, people started thinking about using them for making business decisions. Computer technology solutions, such as the Decision Support System, make the decision-making process less complex and simpler for problem-solving. In order to make a high-quality business decision, managers need to have a great deal of appropriate information. Nonetheless, this complicates the process of making appropriate decisions. In a situation like that, the possibility of using DSS is quite logical. The aim of this paper is to find out the intended use of DSS for medium and large business organizations in USA by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Different models were developed in order to understand and predict the use of information systems, but the information systems community mostly used TAM to ensure this issue. The purpose of the research model is to determine the elements of analysis that contribute to these results.

River Water Quality Model Based on Remote Sensing Information Methods——A Case Study of Lijing River in Guilin City

River water quality models based on remote sensing information models are superior to pure water quality models because they combine the inevitability and risk of geographical phenomena and can take complex geographical characteristics into account. A water quality model for forecasting COD has been established with remote sensing in- formation modeling methods by monitoring and analyzing water quantity and water quality of the Lijing River reach which flows through a complicated Karst mountain area. This model provides a good tool to predict water quality of complex rivers. It is validated by simulating contaminant concentrations of the study area. The results show that remote sensing information models are suitable for complex geography. It is not only a combined model of inevitability and risk of the geographical phenomena, but also a semi-theoretical and semi-empirical formula, providing a good tool to study organic contaminants in complicated rivers. The coefficients and indices obtained have limited value and the model is not suitable for all situations. Some improvements are required.

Time-Neutrality of Natural Laws Challenged: Time Is Not an Illusion but Ongoing Energy-Driven Information Loss

It is shown that the time of entropy increase, here called action time, is caused by a dynamically understood energy. It drives time by decreasing its presence per state, that is by abandoning order, information, and creating entropy. This mechanism can be derived from basic principles via the Lagrange-Euler formalism, just considering the properties of really experienced, oriented time and thus abandoning the paradigm of time neutrality. It describes nature driven by a dynamically understood principle of least action, which is identified as manifestation of fundamental irreversibility in nature. This readily explains the second law of thermodynamics and also yields the entropy law for non-linear irreversible thermodynamics: maximum entropy production within the restraints of the system. Dynamic energy-driven time, action time, and time asymmetry is generated via the process of erasing information and liberating its energy irreversibly as heat. It is not an illusion but information-based reality. It is the loss of information to the past and different from clock-time, which is just an artificial scale, using information for tracking real time, action time. Energy-driven fundamental irreversibility of nature can better describe experienced reality and opens the way to understand and finally imitate the self-organizing creativity in nature. It also draws far reaching consequences for understanding quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology as well as biology. From the point of view of irreversibility, nature turns out to be more elegant, simpler and rationally understandable. For the first time, it can be explained in a few words what energy and nature basically represent and why it must have been information, which has started the universe.

Digital humanities affect: The evolution and revolution of spatial information organization in science fiction

The spatial information of literature refers to the representation of physical or conscious space in literary works,including position,shape,structure,features,and relationships.The spatial information organization and its method are essential to the whole process of literature production,circulation,acceptance,and reproduction,which is conducive to a deeper exploration of the aesthetic essence of literature in the information era.Taking the organization of spatial information in science fiction as an example,this paper investigates the way of interaction between informatics and literature,explores the function of spatial information in the narrative of science fiction,and discovers digital humanistic laws of literary information organization.This study finds that the spatial information of early science fiction is organized in horizontal,vertical,axial,and causal modes;in the era of digital humanities,influenced by information technology such as the internet,virtual reality,and artificial intelligence,literary space has experienced revolutions characteristic of time-space integration,boundary dissolution,dimensional change,and virtualization;the spatial information organization of contemporary science fiction adopts nested,reticulated,parallel,interactive,and reverse patterns;on the whole,it is featured with fluidity,chaos,correlation,and mutation,creating a unique digital humanistic spectacle.

A Private Organization Utilizes the Best Value Approach on an Enterprise Resource Planning System

The Best Value Approach(BVA)is a new project delivery method that has been developed at Arizona State University.It has been documented to increase performance and value on projects by the identification and utilization of expertise instead of management,direction,and control(MDC).It utilizes perfomance information that is simple,observable,and countable.It allows the expert vendor to know what the client proj-ect requires,why they can achieve success and what they will do before they do it.The tracking of the project cost and time deviation requires an initial plan and method to tack it.Preliminary results of the BVA have shown a 90%decrease in effort by client organizations,98%customed satisfaction and has led to 1%vendor cost and time deviation rate.It ap-plies to construction,services/TT projects,and any long-term service.In 2014,a large private organization having dificulty delivering information technology(T)and construction/facility services identified the BVA as a potential solution.This paper will summarize a major IT Enterprise Resource Planming case study that the large private organization used the BVA on and identify the full results.
