The concept of earned value has been widely used in project management to measure and control the achievement of time and cost objectives. However, no such equivalent concept has ever been devised to assess and monitor the quality of a project. The goal of the paper is to propose a multiattribute utility theory approach that enables project managers to measure and estimate the monetary value of a project's accumulated quality attributes. To that effect the concept of earned quality has been devised as a tool for assessing and controlling quality throughout a project's life cycle.

The paper examines the procedures, tool, and standards which comprise the field of systems engineering. The design, development, and implementation of integrated information and telecommunication solutions is a complex and extensive process requiring the involvement of numerous subject matter experts throughout all phases of the process. These experts represent a variety of disciplines, including software engineering, configuration management, network architecture, facility design, operations, procurement, software design, development, and coding, and database management. The discipline of systems engineering provides a systematic approach for applying procedures, tools, and standards to an information-oriented problem for the purpose of defining, designing, managing, and implementing an effective integrated information technology solution. The paper identifies the major phases of the system engineering process and it highlights the tools which enable large disparate organizations to work effectively in the design, development and implementation of complex integrated information and telecommunication solutions.

This paper discusses some of the assumptions underlying the management of virtual organizations. In particular the issue of control within the virtual organization will be examined. A number of limitations to the process of controlling virtual organizations are identified and discussed. A preliminary conclusion is that virtual organizations are more likely to be successful where information, control and coordination requirements are relatively minimal.

Projects act as a process carefully combined of lower level processes. Disturbances can cause this process to act unpredictably. None of the reasons that initiate disturbances can be foreseen. The object model of project organization is presented. The adoptable object model can be used to simulate a software engineering project management plan. The simulation can give us significant insight into the dynamics of processes and inter-process relations. It can also highlight some problems encountered during execution of the software engineering project plan.

New information technologies provide tremendous leverage to research, especially as practiced in a traditional teaching university seeking to become a research institution. The paper reports several applications of fax machines, teleconferencing combined with taping and transcription databases, and the Internet as powerful and inexpensive tools for achieving greater research output with minimal increases in resources. A survey on ISO 9000 implementation conducted via fax machine generated a 74% response rate and required only a $300 budget. Other examples of using information technology to leverage research productivity are offered.

To engineers the democratic political process is emotional, irrational, and offers only superficial adherence to systems approaches. Yet, the political process is profoundly affecting our livelihoods, future prospects for technology advances, and nations' ability to maintain economic growth in an increasingly complex global environment. The engineering approach to problem-solving can be useful in the political process, but it requires the engagement of engineers in that process. In leaving policy development to lawyers, engineers are implicitly permitting rational problem-solving approaches to be avoided because vigorous advocacy in their behalf has been absent. There are numerous ways for IEEE to use its resources to engage engineers in policy development.

While many attempts have been made to research and improve the academic achievements of minorities, results have been disappointing. The paper takes a unique sociotechnical systems analytical approach to identify important social, technical, and environmental variables. This research has implications for the use of cyberspace for organizational learning; for involving industry virtually in the upstream development of human resources, and for redesigning the overall support system for minorities.

The presentation is intended for business architects and executives with vision and fortitude, who seek to reengineer their operations for competitive advantage and leadership, while repositioning their enterprises to leverage the new world of NAFTA, GATT and global commerce for prosperity and growth. It will deal with: phase I-preparation; phase II-implementation; and phase III-management. You will be rewarded with information that is vital for your personal and business success. When you are finished, you will be left with the knowledge that there truly is a light at the end of the tunnel, a straight path to arrive there, and a treasure awaiting the one who collects it first.

We reconsider the notion of value in the context of information technology (IT), and show how the introduction of new IT can change values in organisations. Subsequently we introduce the notion of intelligent software agents (ISAs) as autonomous, social, reactive, proactive and subservient software computer systems. We further look at how the introduction of ISAs to knowledge intensive industries can help human agents in their understanding of the development of new values, while the new IT is taking place in their workplaces, and how the already existing values in the organisation can be dealt with at the same time.

The constituent-driven political process, where research and development performers provide the most vocal advocacy for federal R&D, is unable to create programs that can survive the scrutiny of critics and maintain bipartisan support during extreme budget pressure. The political process can be supplemented during program conception by introducing models that relate finding inputs to desired public outcomes. Game technologies developed by companies for strategic planning and the military for war simulation can be used to predict behaviors of those affected by science and technology policies.
