The adoption of IT governance (ITG) frameworks in organizations worldwide, along with the subsequent need to comply with regulations and standards, has placed ITG implementation decisions firmly with the boards and executives of organizations. With diverse board and executive level cultures evident in various parts of the world, the adoption of ITG frameworks depends on the ITG practices followed in each cultural context. Through an online survey, this study thus examines the existing ITG practices through the structures, processes and relational mechanisms (SPR) practices model, followed by senior management in the GCC region. In this respect, this study evaluates effective baseline ITG practices at the board and executive levels and suggests ITG structures, processes, and relational mechanisms that ITG consultants in the Gulf Co-operation Council region can follow for effective ITG implementation.
IT治理(ITG)框架在全球组织中的采用,以及随之而来的遵守法规和标准的需要,已经将ITG实现决策与组织的董事会和执行人员紧密联系在一起。由于世界各地的董事会和执行层文化明显不同,采用ITG框架取决于在每种文化背景下遵循的ITG实践。通过一项在线调查,本研究通过结构、过程和关系机制(SPR)实践模型对现有的ITG实践进行了检查,随后由海湾合作委员会地区的高级管理人员进行了调查。在这方面,本研究评估了董事会和执行层面的有效基线ITG实践,并建议ITG结构、流程和关系机制,海湾合作委员会地区的ITG顾问可以遵循这些结构、流程和关系机制,以有效实施ITG。

Non-functional requirements (NFRs) demonstrate how the software system works, though functional requirements represent the tasks of the system (software system). It does not indicate that the latter is more significant, but a majority of requirement collecting approaches emphasis on functional requirements. Therefore, due to the subjective nature and complexity of NFRs, it is relatively impractical to focus on each NFRs. The primary objective of this article is to model NFRs in the form of a Soft Goal Interdependency Digraph (SID). The SID is based on the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique which in turn employs the Matrices Impacts Cruise's Multiplication Applique a UN Casement (MICMAC) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) techniques for the identification of significant NFRs. Therefore, the proposed method allows the analysts and developers to monitor and select best possible trade off selections between NFRs. To evaluate the significance of the proposed technique over others, Analysis of variance (ANOVA) based significance testing is also implemented.
非功能需求(nfr)演示了软件系统是如何工作的,尽管功能需求表示了系统(软件系统)的任务。它并不表明后者更重要,但是大多数需求收集方法都强调功能需求。因此,由于NFRs的主观性和复杂性,对每个NFRs进行集中研究是比较不现实的。本文的主要目标是以软目标相互依赖图(SID)的形式对nfr进行建模。SID基于解释结构建模(ISM)技术,该技术反过来采用矩阵影响巡航的乘法贴合窗(MICMAC)和层次分析法(AHP)技术来识别重要的NFRs。因此,建议的方法允许分析人员和开发人员监视并在nfr之间选择最佳可能的折衷选择。为了评估所提出的技术相对于其他技术的重要性,还实施了基于方差分析(ANOVA)的显著性检验。

The domain of context aware recommender approaches has made substantial advancement over the last decade, but many applications still do not include contextual information while providing recommendations. Contextual information is crucial for various application areas and should not be ignored. There are generally three algorithms which can be used to include context and those are: pre-filter approach, post-filter approach, and contextual modeling. Each of the algorithms has their own drawbacks. The proposed approach modifies the post filter approach to rectify its shortcomings and combines it with the pre-filter approach based on the importance of contextual attribute provided by the user. The results of experimental setup also demonstrate that the proposed system improves the precision and ranking of the recommendations provided to user. With the help of this hybrid approach, the proposed system eliminates the problem of sparsity which is present in the pre-filter algorithm, and has performance improvement over the traditional post-filter approach.
上下文感知推荐方法领域在过去十年中取得了实质性进展,但许多应用程序在提供推荐时仍然没有包含上下文信息。上下文信息对于各种应用领域都是至关重要的,不应该被忽视。通常有三种算法可用于包含上下文,它们是:预过滤方法,后过滤方法和上下文建模。每种算法都有自己的缺点。该方法对后过滤方法进行了改进,并根据用户提供的上下文属性的重要性将后过滤方法与预过滤方法相结合。实验结果表明,该系统提高了用户推荐的精度和排序。这种混合方法消除了预滤波算法存在的稀疏性问题,并且比传统的后滤波方法有了性能上的提高。

Project managers have a main role in all kinds of projects, and information systems (IS) projects are not an exception. In order to perform their activities well, project managers need to develop several complementary competences, including technical, contextual and behavioral competences. In literature we find important references on the project managers' general competences as, for instance, the ICB from IPMA. However, very little attention has been paid to the eventually distinctive features of IS project managers. In order to identify the most important competences of these project managers, we carried out a questionnaire-based survey. The results show that the top 12 competences are: communication; engagement and motivation; project requirements and objectives; leadership; reliability; results orientation; conflict and crisis; project orientation; teamwork; interested parties; resilience (emerging as a new competence); and ethics. Furthermore, results indicated that the project management bodies of knowledge are suitable to characterize the IS project manager's competences.
项目经理在各种项目中都扮演着重要的角色,信息系统(IS)项目也不例外。为了很好地执行他们的活动,项目经理需要发展一些互补的能力,包括技术、环境和行为能力。在文献中,我们发现了项目经理一般能力的重要参考,例如,来自IPMA的ICB。然而,很少有人注意到信息系统项目经理最终的独特特征。为了确定这些项目经理最重要的能力,我们进行了一项基于问卷的调查。结果表明,排名前12位的能力分别是:沟通能力;参与和动机;项目要求和目标;领导力;可靠性;结果导向;冲突和危机;项目定位;团队合作;感兴趣的;弹性(作为一种新的能力出现);和道德规范。此外,研究结果表明,项目管理知识体系适合于描述信息系统项目经理的能力。

Whilst a broad range of project portfolio management (PPM) tools is developed to enable and automate the PPM processes, there is a limited understanding of the factors affecting their adoption and deployment in organizations. This research presents a systematic approach that integrates the topic modeling with technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework to identify the salient factors affecting the adoption of PPM software from online software reviews. The proposed approach consists of four main steps: reviews collection and preprocessing, factors prediction, factors ranking, and factors integration into TOE framework. The online software reviews used in this study were gathered from Gartner and included 877 reviews for 13 widely used PPM software tools. The results of this research revealed that several factors could affect the adoption decision of PPM software in organizations. These results provide several theoretical and practical implications, and thus should help both researchers and practitioners in the deployment of more user-accepted PPM software and practices.
虽然开发了广泛的项目组合管理(PPM)工具来启用和自动化PPM过程,但是对影响它们在组织中采用和部署的因素的理解是有限的。本研究提出了一种系统的方法,将主题建模与技术-组织-环境(TOE)框架相结合,从在线软件评论中识别影响PPM软件采用的显着因素。该方法包括四个主要步骤:评论收集和预处理、因素预测、因素排序和因素集成到TOE框架中。本研究中使用的在线软件评论是从Gartner收集的,包括13个广泛使用的PPM软件工具的877条评论。本研究的结果揭示了几个因素可以影响企业采用PPM软件的决策。这些结果提供了一些理论和实践意义,因此应该帮助研究人员和实践者部署更多用户接受的PPM软件和实践。

With the huge proliferation of Big Data, combined with the increasing demand for analytics-driven decision-making, the data analytics and visualization (DAV) ecosystem is increasingly becoming a trending practice that many enterprises are adopting to gain actionable insights from corporate data for effective decision-making. Although DAV platforms have tremendous benefits, extant research has paid insufficient attention to the investigation of the critical success factors (CSFs) underpinning their successful implementation in enterprises. In order to bridge this knowledge gap, this study presents an integrative framework synthesizing a set of CSFs for implementing DAV platforms in enterprises. A qualitative research methodology, comprising semi-structured interviews with IT and business analysts, was conducted to collect and analyze the interview data. Analysis of results revealed that the CSFs of DAV implementation exist in various dimensions composed of organizational, technological, process, and people perspectives. This study provides several theoretical and practical implications.
随着大数据的激增,加上对分析驱动决策的需求不断增长,数据分析和可视化(DAV)生态系统正日益成为一种趋势实践,许多企业正在采用从企业数据中获得可操作的见解,以实现有效的决策。尽管DAV平台具有巨大的优势,但现有的研究对其在企业中成功实施的关键成功因素(CSFs)的调查关注不足。为了弥合这一知识鸿沟,本研究提出了一个综合框架,综合了一组用于在企业中实现DAV平台的csf。我们采用质性研究方法,包括与资讯科技及业务分析师进行半结构化访谈,以收集和分析访谈数据。分析结果表明,DAV实施的csf存在于组织、技术、过程和人员等多个维度。本研究提供了几个理论和实践意义。

Two scheduling practices are commonly used depending on the availability of resources. When resources are not expensive, activities are scheduled and then resources are allocated until the available resources are exhausted. Then, iterative adjustments are applied to the resource allocation plan and the activities sequence to reach a feasible solution. Conversely, when expensive resources are involved, a resource allocation plan based on the economics of the resource is established and then activities are scheduled accordingly. However, Resource Constrained Scheduling Problems (RCSP) are not solved efficiently with either of these approaches. To find the optimal solution, activity scheduling and resource allocation should be formulated as an integrated optimization problem. Such models become numerically cumbersome for practical size problems and difficult to solve. In this article, a novel mathematical formulation and an efficient solution algorithm are proposed for solving RCSPs. Then, this framework is used for solving a practical problem in the context of the construction industry.
根据资源的可用性,通常使用两种调度实践。当资源不昂贵时,会安排活动,然后分配资源,直到可用资源耗尽为止。然后,对资源分配计划和活动顺序进行迭代调整,得到可行的解决方案。相反,当涉及到昂贵的资源时,则建立基于资源经济性的资源分配计划,然后相应地安排活动。然而,这两种方法都不能有效地解决资源约束调度问题。为了找到最优解,应将活动调度和资源分配制定为一个综合优化问题。对于实际的尺寸问题,这种模型在数值上变得很麻烦,难以解决。本文提出了求解rcsp的一种新的数学公式和一种有效的求解算法。然后,将该框架用于解决建筑业背景下的一个实际问题。

The critical nature of information flow as a precursor to project success has been affirmed by both scholars and project management professionals. The data analyzed in this study represent the perceptions of 91 IT project professionals regarding the importance of 18 different aspects of project communication to project success. The relationship of these data vis-a-vis project manager demographics and project/organizational characteristics is explored. Despite a relatively high level of agreement across the respondents regarding which communications are perceived critical to project success, there are clear project and stakeholder circumstances that warrant consideration. The data reveal both statistical and practical dimensions of communication that attribute importance to project success differently for internal as compared to external communication. Furthermore, the emergence of average project duration as a consistently strong correlate of perceived importance of communication to project success is an area of research deserving greater attention.

The lack of professional skills in project teams is one of the most important factors contributing to the high failure rate of Information Technology (IT) projects. Therefore, preparing students for increasingly complex IT projects has been an important learning objective in information sciences and technology programs. This article investigates the relationships between face-to-face students' self-efficacy of managing project tasks through online processes and their attitudes toward teamwork. The relationships among student engagement in learning experiences related to teamwork, self-efficacy of technology-mediated teamwork, and attitudes towards teamwork are investigated using confirmatory factor analysis on a data set with 344 participants. The analysis shows that self-efficacy of technology-mediated teamwork mediates the effect of learning engagement on attitudes toward teamwork. Therefore, the article postulates that mastering technology-mediated teamwork skills helps face-to-face students develop positive attitudes toward teamwork, which can be transferred to the workplace.
项目团队缺乏专业技能是导致信息技术(IT)项目高失败率的最重要因素之一。因此,让学生为日益复杂的IT项目做好准备已经成为信息科学和技术课程的重要学习目标。本研究旨在探讨面对面学生透过线上流程管理专案任务的自我效能感与团队合作态度之间的关系。采用验证性因子分析对344名学生的团队合作学习经历投入、技术中介团队合作自我效能感和团队合作态度之间的关系进行了研究。研究发现,技术中介团队合作的自我效能感在学习投入对团队合作态度的影响中起中介作用。因此,本文假设掌握技术介导的团队合作技能有助于面对面的学生培养积极的团队合作态度,这种态度可以转移到工作场所。

Therefore, the article postulates that mastering technology-mediated teamwork skills helps face-to-face students develop positive attitudes toward teamwork, which can be transferred to the workplace.","PeriodicalId":375999,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The progress in the digital single market (DSM) has been acknowledged as one of the 10 political priorities by the European Commission since 2015. It could contribute € 415 billion per year (GDP) to the economy of the 28 EU Member States and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs. Nowadays, the ICT sector and the European Digital Agenda have declared it as one of the seven pillars of the Europe 2020 strategy. In order to speed up the development of new information technology and its commercialisation, it is necessary to increase software quality aimed at accelerating and improving technology transfer, taking into account process quality management. The aim of this article is to give an overview of a new approach to producing an additional value of the software development projects to improve the technology transfer process.
自2015年以来,数字单一市场(DSM)的进展已被欧盟委员会确认为十大政治优先事项之一。它每年可以为28个欧盟成员国的经济贡献4150亿欧元(GDP),并创造数十万个新的就业机会。如今,信息通信技术部门和欧洲数字议程已将其宣布为欧洲2020战略的七大支柱之一。为了加快新信息技术的发展及其商业化,有必要在考虑过程质量管理的情况下,提高旨在加速和改进技术转让的软件质量。本文的目的是概述一种新方法,以产生软件开发项目的附加价值,从而改进技术转移过程。
