IT Project Evaluation and Investment Decision

There are many kinds of real options,which are valuable,in each phase of the lifetime of an information technology(IT)project.However,in the current IT investment decision theory,real options that embedded in IT projects are not considered. In this paper, the process of IT project decision and implementation is fully analyzed, the real options that may be embedded in an IT project are identified, and a real option analysis (ROA) method is proposed for evaluation of an IT project under uncertain business environment. ROA employs Black-Scholes expansion model and cancels the assumption that the cost of project is certain. The numerical example manifests that the ROA can better evaluate IT project and select the IT investment alternative. Finally, a road map is provided to help selecting the suitable evaluation method to make IT investment decision.

An Information Systems Project Management Course Using a Service-Learning Model

This paper describes the implementation of an Information Systems （IS） capstone project management course that is a requirement for graduating seniors in an undergraduate Computer Information Systems （CIS） program at a regional university. The description provides a model which includes the culmination of students＇ academic training in an IS curriculum which is part of a Bachelor of Business Administration （BBA） program in an accredited college of business. The course requires an application of technical and business skills, as well as systems development and project management skills--while students are working on an actual IS project for an external sponsoring organization. Rationale for implementing this type of course includes the benefits it provides to the students, the project sponsors, and the IS department providing the course. Feedback from the course is used as integral part of the C1S curriculum assessment process used for accreditation purposes.

Investigation of Enterprise Informationization Project Risk

The enterprise informationization （El） project has already become modernization level and synthesis power of the enterprise. However, information project risk. In order to reduce the El project risk, it is necessary to adopt reasonable incentive and constraint effectively and to structure perfect market environment. an urgent work to raise the asymmetry increases the EI investment mode, to carry on incentive and constraint effectively and to structure perfect market environment.

Gold Projects of China's Electronic Information Industry

The news that China’s electronicinformation industry would carryout the Three Gold Projects received astrong response around the world,especially from the transnationalcompanies engaged intelecommunications, computers andinformation networks. IBM, Unisys, Visa,Siemens, Intel, AT＆T, Bell, Dell, NTT,NEC, 3COM and Fujitsu came to Chinato hold talks with potential clients andshowed their products with a view totaking a share in this big market. With the emergence of the country’selectronic in formation industry in the early1980s, the national electronic computerand large integrated circuit leading

Monitoring Information 3D Visualization for Super-Filling Loess Project

The construction of high-filled loess project has some engineering and technical challenges, such as excavation of earth and backfilling of earth are both large, complex construction environment, variety of influence factors. According to this situation, this paper presents a dynamic 3D visualization method for high-filled project based on volume rendering. Through comparative analysis and visual analysis, realized at different times of the Loess fill internal detection data visualization and analysis presented. The results show that this visualization method can directly and accurately display the construction process, help decision makers master construction information and process.

Text-mining analysis using national R&D project data of South Korea to investigate innovation in graphene environment technology

This study investigates the possibilities offered by the development of graphene environment technology that can contribute to new and effective approaches for the transition to an ecologically benign ecosystem.To analyze the research and development progress in graphene environment technology,graphene environment technology research trends of South Korea for the years 2009e2020 are investigated by acquiring information pertaining to national research and development projects related to graphene environment technology from the National Science and Technology Information Service.Both structured and unstructured data are analyzed using diverse text-mining methods,such as keyword frequency analysis,association rule mining,and topic modelling.The results indicate that graphene research in South Korea is focused primarily on graphene use in batteries and energy-storage devices,such as solar cells,fuel cells,and secondary batteries.This study can help understand the manner by which the South Korean government has been investing in the research and development of graphene environment technology;additionally,it discusses the future applications and prospects of graphene for the next decade.

Dazu Rock Earrings

The steep hillsides in Dazu County in Chongqing MuniciPality, southwest China, contain an outstanding collection of rock carvings dating back to the ninth century. The large carvings and written historical materials within the heritage site show the great changes and development of cave temple art and reli gious beliefs in China during that period.

Verification and Validation for data marketplaces via a blockchain and smart contracts

Actual challenges with data in physical infrastructure include:1)the adversity of its velocity based on access and retrieval,thus integration;2)its value as its intrinsic quality;3)its extensive volume with a limited variety in terms of systems;and finally,4)its veracity,as data can be modified to obtain an economical advantage.Physical infrastructure design based on Agile project management and minimum viable products provides benefits against the traditional waterfall method.Agile supports an early return on investment that promotes circular reinvesting while making the product more adaptable to variable social-economical environments.However,Agile also presents inherent issues due to its iterative approach.Furthermore,project information requires an efficient record of the aims,requirements,and governance not only for the investors,owners,or users but also to keep evidence in future health&safety and other statutory compliance.In order to address these issues,this article presents a Validation and Verification(V&V)model for data marketplaces with a hierarchical process;each data V&V stage provides a layer of data abstraction,value-added services,and authenticity based on Artificial Intelligence(AI).In addition,this proposed solution applies Distributed Ledger Technology(DLT)for a decentralised approach where each user keeps and maintains the data within a ledger.The presented model is validated in real data marketplace applications:1)live data for the Newcastle Urban Observatory Smart City Project,where data are collected from sensors embedded within the smart city via APIs;2)static data for University College London(UCL)—Real Estate—PEARL Project,where different project users and stakeholders introduce data into a Project Information Model(PIM).
