Conceptual bases of creation of a system of information projects electronic management

Запропоновано використовувати електронний проектний менеджмент (е-РМ) для управління проектами створення та надання інформаційних ресурсів. Проаналізовано сучасні дослідження е-РМ в світі. Показано, що на сьогодні існують як наукові так і комерційні розробки е-РМ. Автором статті пропонуються свій погляд на електронний проектний менеджмент. Надані основні поняття та визначання e-PM. Визначено, що для реалізації технології електронного проектного менеджменту необхідно застосувати електронний менеджер проектів (е-М), який є програмно-інформаційною системою, що реалізує процес управління проектами в e-PM в автоматичному режимі. Показані методи реалізації е-М, до яких відносяться моделі управляння, розрахунок термінів та управління трудовими ресурсами проекту створення та надання інформаційних ресурсів.In practice not all projects are successfully completed. This is due to the negative impact of human factors on the project process. To reduce this effect, the author proposed to use an electronic project management (e-PM), which is used for projects of creation and provision of information resources management. It was analyzed current e-PM research in the world. It was shown that today there are both scientific and commercial development of e-PM. The author of the article offers his view of the electronic project management. It was provided basic concepts and determining of e-PM. It was noted that the creation and implementation of electronic project management is only possible when the management processes will be based on computer methods of data collection, processing and use of information for executing decision-making. Therefore, to implement the technology of electronic project management it is need to apply an electronic project manager, which is a program-information system that implements project management process in e-PM automatically. It was shown methods for implementing electronic project manager, which include management models, terms calculation and workforce management of project of creation and provision of information resources. Also electronic project manager functions that used as part of organization and methodological measures of project-oriented enterprise in project activity realization was defined. It was determined that for applied use of e-PM it is necessary to develop a knowledge models for project management of creation and provision of information resources through the electronic project management

Fault management and service provisioning process model of next generation access networks

Network operators are nowadays upgrading their access networks to cope with the increasing number of users and the increasing bandwidth required by services. However, cost plays a crucial factor. In order to decide which next generation access network will be implemented, an accurate cost evaluation should be performed. This evaluation requires a total cost of ownership model including a detailed model of the most costly operational processes: fault management and customer provisioning. These models help identifying the most costly sub-processes, where network providers should improve their cost efficiency. This paper presents detailed models for these operational processes and gives an approach to use them for estimating future operational costs

Team-oriented process programming

Team-oriented process programming promises to provide significant support for the planning, directing, and controlling of software engineering projects. In this paper we apply process programming to software engineering teams and show how this can provide powerful new capabilities for the management of software projects. We identify key issues which must be addressed to apply process programming to teams, and present our vision for team-oriented process programming

The uses of process modeling : a framework for understanding modeling formalisms

There is wide-spread recognition of the urgent need to improve software processes in order to improve the performance of software organizations. Process models are essential in achieving understanding and visibility of processes and are important for other uses including the analysis of processes for improvement. It has been increasingly difficult to compare and evaluate the variety of process modeling formalisms that have appeared in recent years without a clear understanding of precisely for what they will be used. The contribution of this paper is to provide an understanding and a fairly comprehensive catalog of the applications of process modeling for which formalisms may be used. The primary mechanism for doing this is a guided tour of the literature on process modeling supplemented by recent industrial experience. In the paper, basic definitions concerning processes, process descriptions and process modeling are reviewed and then uses of process modeling are surveyed under the following headings: communication among process participants, construction of new processes, control of processes, process· analysis, and process support by automation. Comments are offered on paradigms for process modeling formalisms and directions for future work to permit evolution of a discipline of process engineering are given

A Model-Driven Approach for Business Process Management

The Business Process Management is a common mechanism recommended by a high number of standards for the management of companies and organizations. In software companies this practice is every day more accepted and companies have to assume it, if they want to be competitive. However, the effective definition of these processes and mainly their maintenance and execution are not always easy tasks. This paper presents an approach based on the Model-Driven paradigm for Business Process Management in software companies. This solution offers a suitable mechanism that was implemented successfully in different companies with a tool case named NDTQ-Framework.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2010-20057-C03-02Junta de Andalucía TIC-578

Planning and Resource Management in an Intelligent Automated Power Management System

Power system management is a process of guiding a power system towards the objective of continuous supply of electrical power to a set of loads. Spacecraft power system management requires planning and scheduling, since electrical power is a scarce resource in space. The automation of power system management for future spacecraft has been recognized as an important R&D goal. Several automation technologies have emerged including the use of expert systems for automating human problem solving capabilities such as rule based expert system for fault diagnosis and load scheduling. It is questionable whether current generation expert system technology is applicable for power system management in space. The objective of the ADEPTS (ADvanced Electrical Power management Techniques for Space systems) is to study new techniques for power management automation. These techniques involve integrating current expert system technology with that of parallel and distributed computing, as well as a distributed, object-oriented approach to software design. The focus of the current study is the integration of new procedures for automatically planning and scheduling loads with procedures for performing fault diagnosis and control. The objective is the concurrent execution of both sets of tasks on separate transputer processors, thus adding parallelism to the overall management process
