Information systems are able to support the operational activities and provide useful information for users. In fact almost every large companies implementing information systems, but controlling the information system needs additional efforts, one of which is the audit of information systems. Audit is believed to be able to identify risks and evaluate the adequacy of the important controls on information...
A key challenge in nowadays machinery applications is to guaranty availability and to increase productivity while reducing production costs. Companies, which are able to use their produced data (e.g., process values) to overcome this challenge, will have a significant competitive advantage. This paper shows how data-analytics approaches can be used to realize predictive maintenance solutions, taking...
The basis for the fourth industrial revolution is the availability of accessing all relevant information in real time by connecting all instances involved in the value chain. The ultimate goal is to manage the entire value chain process, improving efficiencies in the production process and coming up with better products and services. The essence of vertical networking comes from the use of cyber-physical...
In this Globalized world, the Call Centers and BPOsare increasing at an exponential rate. There is stiff competitionamong various companies and every company wants to have itsclients happy and satisfied with the resolution of the problems. For this purpose, Agent Quality Monitoring is an importantrequirement. Since in a typical Call Centre, thousands of calls aremade by agents in a single day, it...
Global software development (GSD) is increasingly the norm. As firms expand into new markets overseas, acquire companies in different countries, and recruit talented developers in new locations, projects become distributed by necessity. As projects become increasingly distributed, and include external participants such as outsourcing vendors, conventional top-down management oversight and control...
This paper presents MONO, a tool to support interdisciplinary and geographically dispersed teams. MONO supports the definition, execution, and monitoring of collaborative processes to allow development engineers to interact with musicians, designers, and producers, to create digital contents such as video games or animated short films. MONO supports geographically distributed teams, involved in digital...
Nowadays, the use of agile methodologies (AM) in Global Software Development (GSD) -- known as AGSD -- is increasingly common. However, AM and GSD are not completely compatible. On the one hand, in AM people interactions (face-to-face) are preferred over document-based communications to share knowledge. On the other hand, in GSD knowledge sharing is conducted through documents to minimize the effect...
This paper describes the implementation of a manufacturing monitoring system using RFID, wireless, and plug-and-play technologies. The system gathered information about time and work in process (WIP), enabling process waste identification, production according to takt time, activity balance, and production capacity assessment. The method comprises the development of an RFID reader, a middleware, a...
With the rapid development of regional economy in Shandong Province, the demand of electric power increases rapidly. So, the development of the substation construction and its status information detection system has led to the massive power equipment status information data, which needs to be sorted out and standardized work. In this paper, the MapReduce technology is used for the degradation processing...
In today's knowledge society data plays a central role. Large parts of an organization's critical data currently resides in databases which makes them an attractive target for cyber-attacker. The increasing digitization and interconnection of organizations combined with growing complexity of IT systems led to increased attack surface of most organizations. At the same time cyber-adversaries increased...
Stray voltages have always been a concern to utility companies and customers. But methods to troubleshoot and monitor nonroutine stray voltage problems are very limited. This paper presents a passive, measurement-based method to identify the contributors to the common cause of stray voltages, the neutral-to-earth voltage (NEV) rise at the service entrance point. The paper shows that the NEV can be...
It is possible to streamline corporate Environment, Health, and Safety (EH&S) duties through the use of workflow management technology. This approach requires a specification of workflow models that among others are composed of activities. A domain-specific workflow meta data model is proposed. The model consists of modelling concepts for the detection of failures of EH&S activities that already...
In Brazil there are several small software companies with only one developer (solo developer). In a survey conducted by Secretaria de Política de Informática of Ministério de Ciência e Tecnologia has been indicated that about 60% of market consolidated software companies started their activities with a single developer. The majority of these developers does not formally make use of a software process...
In 1997 cooperation began between the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the power company CEZ on a joint project that involved monitoring selected voltage quality parameters. Over the course of several years measurements were carried out at 59 points of the distribution system at a low voltage (LV) level and their power supply nodes at medium voltage (MV) and high voltage...
It is possible to streamline Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) duties through the use of workflow management technology. This approach requires to specify workflow models which among others consist of activities. In order to meet given safety regulations these activities are to be completed correctly and within given deadlines. Otherwise, activity failures emerge which may lead to breaches...
This proposed research questions the assumption that strategic performance measurement systems (SPMS) define strategic goals at the individual job level, reducing role ambiguity and ensuring desired employee outcomes. Through qualitative research of both white-collar and blue-collar jobs, we seek to determine the types of jobs most amenable to SPMS guidance.
This paper elaborates the stages of ERP implementation in terms of critical success factors in small and medium-sized enterprises in Croatia. These stages and their associated success factors were evaluated by company executives, implementation managers and advanced users. The implementation is an extremely critical process especially in small companies which have limited resources, particularly human...
As the union of information technology and financial reporting, the corporate information disclosure based internet brings the revolutionary transformation to the accounting reporting mode. In China, the construction of internet corporate information disclosure is one of the eight core patterns of China's accounting reform. Which risk is Corporate information disclosure facing? What kind of regulatory...
In Indonesia, the uses of Machine to Machine (M2M) solutions continue to grow in various sectors of industry which were supported by the increasing of mobile technology usage. The number of electricity customers in Indonesia especially residential customers was 92.81% and became the highest compared to other customer groups. Since the market potential of residential customers group was quite high,...
According to the statistics from the last five years users purchasing new personal computers (PCs) give preference to mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) that has its effect on its use in business. The problem is in methods and means of ensuring the security and confidentiality which are described at the top level and do not consider the specifics of the Mobile Corporate Networks (MCN). Authors...
