The current study applied cloud computing technology and smart mobile devices combined with a streaming server for parking lots to plan a city parking integration system. It is also equipped with a parking search system, parking navigation system, parking reservation service, and car retrieval service. With this system, users can quickly find…

Recent surveys of information technology management professionals show that understanding business domains in terms of business productivity and cost reduction potential, knowledge of different vertical industry segments and their information requirements, understanding of business processes and client-facing skills are more critical for…

Describes the motivating reasons for a systematic approach to the specification, design, and development of information systems, and surveys some of the methods developed to assist software specification and design. Ways that system development organizations can create and use such techniques are emphasized. (Author/FM)

This document first outlines considerations relative to a systems approach to evaluation, and then argues for such an approach to the evaluation of information retrieval systems (ISR). The criterion of such evaluations should be the utility of the information retrieved to the user, and the ISR ought to be regarded as one of three interrelated…

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS CAN BE APPLIED TO THE PLANNING AND DELIVERY OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THE MODELS PRESENTED SHOW HOW A SYSTEMS APPROACH CAN BE USED TO ANSWER SOME OF THE KEY QUESTIONS IN PLANNING, ORGANIZING, AND EVALUATING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE PROGRAMS. MODEL 1 APPROACHES THE TASK OF DEFINING AND CATEGORIZING MENTAL HEALTH AND RELATED PROBLEMS.…

A computer based planning and budgeting system aids decisionmakers in planning for allocation of limited resources. (RA)

The four papers included in this document are: (1) "Preparing Management for MIS" presented at the GUIDE-32 Meeting, May, 1971; (2) "Training Management for MIS" presented on March 17, 1970, to the Central New York Chapter of the Association for Systems Management; (3) "How to Unlock the Computer's Profit Potential" presented at the 1969 Spring…

Describes systems management, the coordination of information flows among the functional areas of business as an aid in the decision-making process. (Author)

The two words, "communication"--defined as the sharing of experience--and "process"--referred to as the movement of interrelated events or actions toward an identifiable goal--may be usefully viewed together as the goal-oriented combination of variables designed to produce at least a single communicative event. In an organizational setting, the…

Beginning January 1, 1969, Systems Research Group (SRG) undertook a project to develop operational cost simulation models of three of the colleges of applied arts and technology in Ontario. These models, and the data needed to feed them, have been developed and are now operating. SRG describes their progress to date and identifies the remaining…

This bibliography describes the contents of selected publications considered relevant for the study of systems analysis in educational planning. The citations and their annotations, in both English and French, are organized into (1) the uses of systems analysis in educational planning, (2) selected systems analysis techniques applied to education,…

This report describes the major projects undertaken by the Institute for Policy Analysis of the University of Toronto. It includes a list of the publications that are now available and those that will become available during the next few months.

The authors argue that recent events have given rise to a need for a new class of information related to strategic decisionmaking. They describe some of the characteristics of "ideal" systems to meet this need and suggest a program for building sophisticated systems that will develop toward that ideal. (Author)

Designed to focus attention on the design process in such computer science activities as information systems design, database design, and expert systems design, this paper examines three main phases of the design process: understanding the context of the problem, identifying the problem, and finding a solution. The processes that these phases…

This article discusses tools developed to aid the systems analysis process (program evaluation and review technique, Gantt charts, organizational charts, decision tables, flowcharts, hierarchy plus input-process-output). Similarities and differences among techniques, library applications of analysis, structured systems analysis, and the data flow…
