The alignment of data mining and business would bring benefits to the organization＇s management. The study investigated the adoption of data mining technologies in managerial accounting system, concentrating on the challenges and opportunities. The research showed that with the technology adoption, managerial functions could be improved and current information system could be upgraded. Since the technical progresses are reshaping the world of business and accountancy, it is significant for accountants and finance professionals to exploit information technologies.展开更多

The system is based on integration of data from earth observation satellites and in-situ networks with other types of data, including numerical weather prediction model outputs, climate model outputs, geographical infor- mation, and socio-economic data. The system builds on the water and energy budget distributed hydrological model （WEB-DHM） that was adapted for specific conditions of studied basins, in particular snow and glacier phenomena and equipped with other functions such as dam operation optimization scheme and a set of tools for climate change impact assess- ment to be able to generate relevant information for policy and decision makers. In situ data were archived for 18 selected ba- sins at the Data Integration and Analysis System （DIAS） of Japan and demonstration projects were carded out showing poten- tial of the new system. It included climate change impact assessment on hydrological regimes, which is presently a critical step for sound management decisions. Results of such three case studies in Pakistan, Philippines, and Vietnam are provided here.展开更多
