Information Technology Governance Design in DevOps-Based E-Marketplace Companies Using COBIT 2019 Framework

The E-Marketplace system is a digital place where sellers and buyers meet virtually, and transactions can be processed safely. E-Marketplace companies are oriented toward consumer-centric products and services and operate and have 24/7 non-stop transaction activities. E-Marketplace system development has become the digital transformation in Information Technology (IT) governance that meets the requirements of a system-based automated control with the application of DevOps principles. This study uses a mixed method approach through questionnaires, interviews, expert judgment, and relevant literature reviews related to the e-Marketplace system and IT governance concepts using the COBIT 2019 framework, which has 11 design factors with 40 IT processes to obtain the most appropriate governance model for e-Marketplace companies. The results were obtained in the form of 6 (six) methods in the IT governance model using the DevOps approach, namely the APO03 – Managed Enterprise Architecture, APO04 – Managed Innovation, BAI04 – Managed Availability and Capacity, BAI06 – Managed IT Changes, BAI11 – Managed Projects, and DSS03 – Managed Problems with a score ≥ 75 and the capability level target is at level 4.The E-Marketplace system is a digital place where sellers and buyers meet virtually, and transactions can be processed safely.

An Interactive Performance-Based Expert System for Daylighting Design

Architects are increasingly using digital tools during the design process, particularly as they approach complex problems such as designing for successful daylighting performance. However, while simulation tools may provide the designer with valuable information, they do not necessarily guide the user towards design changes which will improve performance. This paper proposes an interactive, goal-based expert system for daylighting design, intended for use during the early design phase. The expert system consists of two major components: a daylighting knowledge-base which contains information regarding the effects of a variety of design conditions on resultant daylighting performance, and a fuzzy rule-based decision-making logic which is used to determine those design changes most likely to improve performance for a given design. The system gives the user the ability to input an initial model and a set of daylighting performance goals in the form of illuminance and daylighting-specific glare metrics. The system acts as a “virtual daylighting consultant,” guiding the user towards improved performance while maintaining the integrity of the original design and of the design process itself

The Use of a Geographical Information System (GIS) as a Spatial Decision Support System: Processing Planning Applications in Hilly Areas

Decision-making pertaining to development control has been increasingly complex as urbanization extends into environmentally sensitive hilly areas. Coupled to that, the traditional data analysis method of sieving maps is very cumbersome and inefficient for processing planning applications. Here a Geographical Information System [GIS] is seen as the ideal tool of the information age to improve the current inadequacies of the present planning system. Henceforth, the study aimed to adapt GIS as a decision support tool for processing planning applications specifically, in hilly areas. The study methodology basically involved the identification of a problem statement, formulation of goal and objectives, literature review on the application of GIS in local planning, the development of a planning data model and the design of a planning expert system. The planning data model consolidated relevant data for processing potential development in hilly areas. Hence, it was structured into common groups namely town planning, administration, utilities, environment and transportation. The principle object behind data analysis was to query site suitability and to determine whether the detailed proposals conformed to planning requirements. To aid decision-making, the decision support system employed a planning expert system. The knowledge base rules of the planning expert system incorporated planning guidelines development in hilly areas. An inference engine consisted of various scripts based on Boolean argument was designed to enable comparative assessment between detail proposals and planning parameters and provided technical advice to support or reject an application. A customised pull-down menu was designed to simplify data query and data retrieval. The study found that although GIS was effective at data analysis, for the moment, it would be of limited success in processing planning applications because there are many types of planning issues to consider. This would require further development of GIS analytical techniques before it could comprehensively process planning applications. The expert system while effective, depended on a standard format to process layout plans. Overlaying regularly used for data analysis but proved more effective when combined with other techniques e.g. buffering or spatial analysis. Although planning criteria were available, they had to be reviewed to weed out ambiguous terminologies. Attributes tables were vital to ensure the expert system worked because the inference engine is critical where data are kept. Since GIS was in various stages of implementation, it was concluded GIS could serve as a decision support system for processing planning applications in hilly areas. Further research was still required to develop new planning expert systems in various sectoral studies e.g. transportation planning. This included the development of digital supporting database, expansion in the scope and depth of data analysis, development of planning design models, fine-tuning planning criteria and the establishment a uniform digital format for the preparation of layout plans

The Validity and Legibility of Digital Literacy-Based Reproductive System Flipbook to Improve The Critical Thinking Skills of Grade 11Th High School Students

21st century education has an important role to equip students with how to process and use information critically. This can be realized by developing digital literacy-based learning media, one of them is flipbook. The development of the flipbook in this study was applied to reproductive system material because the basic competence of the material requires analysis of information from various sources. The aim of this study was to produce a valid flipbook of reproductive system which had an appropriate level of legibility. The study used Hannafin and Peck development model which consisted of the needs analysis, design, and development phases. The measured parameters included the validation and legibility level of the flipbook. Validation was done by education expert lecturer, reproductive system expert lecturer, and Biology teacher based on the appropriateness of content, presentation, language, and critical thinking components. while the level of legibility of the flipbook was measured using the Fry formulation by analyzed 100 words in each section. The results of the validation showed very valid categories in each component with the average percentage of the presentation was 87.5%, content eligibility 96.3%, linguistic 91.7% , and critical thinking 98.3%. The validation components got 93.5% average percentage with a very valid category. The level of legibility of the flipbook showed level 11 with the appropriate category for high school students. Based on the results of the study, the developed flipbook was declared to be very valid and had an appropriate level of legibility for high school students.

An interactive performance-based expert system for daylighting in architectural design

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2011.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 223-233).Design practitioners are increasingly using digital tools during the design process; however, building performance simulation continues to be more commonly utilized for analysis rather than as a design aid. Additionally, while simulation tools provide the user with valuable information, they do not necessarily guide the designer towards changes which may improve performance. For designing with daylighting, it is essential that the designer consider performance during the early design stage, as this is the stage when the most critical design decisions are made, such as the overall building geometry and faqade elements. This thesis proposes an interactive, goal-based expert system for daylighting design, intended for use during the early design phase. The system gives the user the ability to input an initial model and a set of daylighting performance goals. Performance areas considered are illuminance and glare risk from daylighting. The system acts as a "virtual daylighting consultant," guiding the user towards improved performance while maintaining the integrity of the original design and of the design process itself. This thesis consists of three major parts: development of the expert system, implementation of the system including a user interface, and performance assessment. The two major components of the expert system are a daylighting-specific database, which contains information about the effects of a variety of design conditions on resultant daylighting performance, and a fuzzy rule-based decision-making logic, which is used to determine those design changes most likely to improve performance for a given design. The expert system has been implemented within Google SketchUp along with a user interface which allows a designer to fully participate in the design process. Performance assessment is done in two ways: first by comparing the effectiveness of the system to a genetic algorithm, a known optimization method, and second by evaluating the success of the user interactivity of the tool, its use within the design process, and its potential to improve the daylighting performance of early stage designs.by Jaime M.

Integrated Flight Path Planning System and Flight Control System for Unmanned Helicopters

This paper focuses on the design of an integrated navigation and guidance system for unmanned helicopters. The integrated navigation system comprises two systems: the Flight Path Planning System (FPPS) and the Flight Control System (FCS). The FPPS finds the shortest flight path by the A-Star (A*) algorithm in an adaptive manner for different flight conditions, and the FPPS can add a forbidden zone to stop the unmanned helicopter from crossing over into dangerous areas. In this paper, the FPPS computation time is reduced by the multi-resolution scheme, and the flight path quality is improved by the path smoothing methods. Meanwhile, the FCS includes the fuzzy inference systems (FISs) based on the fuzzy logic. By using expert knowledge and experience to train the FIS, the controller can operate the unmanned helicopter without dynamic models. The integrated system of the FPPS and the FCS is aimed at providing navigation and guidance to the mission destination and it is implemented by coupling the flight simulation software, X-Plane, and the computing software, MATLAB. Simulations are performed and shown in real time three-dimensional animations. Finally, the integrated system is demonstrated to work successfully in controlling the unmanned helicopter to operate in various terrains of a digital elevation model (DEM)

Optimisation-driven design to explore and exploit the process–structure–property–performance linkages in digital manufacturing

An intelligent manufacturing paradigm requires material systems, manufacturing systems, and design engineering to be better connected. Surrogate models are used to couple product-design choices with manufacturing process variables and material systems, hence, to connect and capture knowledge and embed intelligence in the system. Later, optimisation-driven design provides the ability to enhance the human cognitive abilities in decision-making in complex systems. This research proposes a multidisciplinary design optimisation problem to explore and exploit the interactions between different engineering disciplines using a socket prosthetic device as a case study. The originality of this research is in the conceptualisation of a computer-aided expert system capable of exploring process–structure–property–performance linkages in digital manufacturing. Thus, trade-off exploration and optimisation are enabled of competing objectives, including prosthetic socket mass, manufacturing time, and performance-tailored socket stiffness for patient comfort. The material system is modelled by experimental characterisation—the manufacturing time by computer simulations, and the product-design subsystem is simulated using a finite element analysis (FEA) surrogate model. We used polynomial surface response-based surrogate models and a Bayesian Network for design space exploration at the embodiment design stage. Next, at detail design, a gradient descent algorithm-based optimisation exploits the results using desirability functions to isolate Pareto non-dominated solutions. This work demonstrates how advanced engineering design synthesis methods can enhance designers’ cognitive ability to explore and exploit multiple disciplines concurrently and improve overall system performance, thus paving the way for the next generation of computer systems with highly intertwined material, digital design and manufacturing workflows.
