Information systems planning and management in New Zealand tertiary education institutions : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Computer Science at Massey University

The strategic use of information systems for competitive advantage is a subject of current information systems research. This thesis examines the application of this view of the organisation on tertiary education institutions in New Zealand, and its impact on their information systems planning process. Recent changes in the legislation governing the tertiary education sector are reviewed, and their effects on New Zealand tertiary institutions are examined. A number of models of information systems development are summarised and used as a framework to position the current state of information systems in tertiary institutions. The results of a survey, which gathered information about the information systems planning in New Zealand's tertiary education institutions, are presented. Several models of information systems planning are examined and their applicability to the organisations involved in tertiary education is determined. A suggested development of information systems planning within tertiary institutions is presented

A Review of Trip Planning Systems.

This report reviews current information provision in all modes of transport and assesses the needs for and benefits of trip planning systems. The feasibility of trip planning systems is discussed given the current state of technology and information availability and supply. The review was stimulated by technological developments in telecommunications and information technology which are providing the possibility of a greatly enhanced quality of information to aid trip planning decisions. Amongst the conclusions reached were the following: Current information provision is considered deficient in many respects. Travellers are often unaware of alternative routes or services and many are unable to acquire adequate information from one source especially for multi-modal journeys. In addition, there is a lack of providing real time information where it is required (bus stops and train stations) and of effective interaction of static and real time information. Most of the projects, which integrate static and dynamic data, are single mode systems. Therefore there is a need for an integrated trip planning system which can inform and guide on all aspects of transport. Trip planning systems can provide assistance in trip planning (before and during the journey) using one or a number of modes of travel, taking into account travellers preferences and constraints, and effectively integrating static and dynamic data. Trip planning systems could adversely affect traffic demand as people who become aware of new opportunities might be encouraged to make more journeys. It could also affect travellers choice as a result of over-saturation of information, over-reaction to predictive information, and concentration on the same 'best' routes. However, it can be argued, based on existing evidence, that such a system can benefit travellers, and transport operators as well as the public sector responsible for executing transport policies. Travellers can benefit by obtaining adequate information to help them in making optimal decisions and reducing uncertainty and stress associated with travel. Public transport operators can benefit by making their services known to customers, leading to increased patronage. Public transport authorities can use the supply of information to execute their transport policies and exercise more control over traffic management

Information Systems for Multiregional Planning

This paper is the first of a set of background papers and research papers on information systems for regional planning. Information systems contain structured data on real-world phenomena, their properties, and their mutual links. Frequently, however, information systems are oriented to the national level or to specific factors. The geographical dimension of information systems as a decision aid in regional development planning has too often been neglected. Therefore, much more attention should be paid to the design and development of information systems reflecting socio-economic processes so as to arrive at a better representation of regional systems and a better adaptation to the needs of regional planners. The major aim of the current study is to provide in a systematic way a set of guidelines and considerations to be taken into account in the design and use of information systems for regional planning. In addition to the conceptual framework, regional accounting, integrated statistical information systems, regional modeling, and qualitative information may also be addressed in this study. The present paper outlines some important aspects and attributes of information systems for multiregional planning. It provides a frame of reference for more specific contributions to information systems for particular regional planning fields

Evaluation of strategic information systems planning (SISP) techniques: Driver perspective

Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) literature reviews with a focus on the global dimension are considered in this research. The paper counters the evaluation of SISP techniques through information system (IS) strategic drivers. These techniques can be vital contributors in the IS strategy (ISS) designing process. Therefore, categorisation of the techniques of ISS planning will be developed. Keeping in mind the global dimension, the planning team needs to identify how it can cluster an organization’s ISS drivers. This may be achieved by analysing the drivers that can have an effect on IS for the organization, which may support categorisation of drivers against techniques being classified to understand which are needed to fit specific drivers. The contribution of this research is the taxonomy of SISP techniques, with a case study for X international airlines. This classification can benefit evaluation of the ISS planning processes to support decision-makers through the planning process

Motion Planning for Optimal Information Gathering in Opportunistic Navigation Systems

Motion planning for optimal information gathering in an opportunistic navigation (OpNav) environment is considered. An OpNav environment can be thought of as a radio frequency signal landscape within which a receiver locates itself in space and time by extracting information from ambient signals of opportunity (SOPs). The receiver is assumed to draw only pseudorange-type observations from the SOPs, and such observations are fused through an estimator to produce an estimate of the receiver’s own states. Since not all SOP states in the OpNav environment may be known a priori, the receiver must estimate the unknown SOP states of interest simultaneously with its own states. In this work, the following problem is studied. A receiver with no a priori knowledge about its own states is dropped in an unknown, yet observable, OpNav environment. Assuming that the receiver can prescribe its own trajectory, what motion planning strategy should the receiver adopt in order to build a high-fidelity map of the OpNav signal landscape, while simultaneously localizing itself within this map in space and time? To answer this question, first, the minimum conditions under which the OpNav environment is fully observable are established, and the need for receiver maneuvering to achieve full observability is highlighted. Then, motivated by the fact that not all trajectories a receiver may take in the environment are equally beneficial from an information gathering point of view, a strategy for planning the motion of the receiver is proposed. The strategy is formulated in a coupled estimation and optimal control framework of a gradually identified system, where optimality is defined through various information-theoretic measures. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the improvements gained from adopting the proposed strategy over random and pre-defined receiver trajectories.Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanic

Extending the use of plateau-escaping macro-actions in planning

Many fully automated planning systems use a single, domain independent heuristic to guide search and no other problem specific guidance. While these systems exhibit excellent performance, they are often out-performed by systems which are either given extra human-encoded search information, or spend time learning additional search control information offline. The benefit of systems which do not require human intervention is that they are much closer to the ideal of autonomy. This document discusses a system which learns additional control knowledge, in the form of macro-actions, during planning, without the additional time required for an online learning step. The results of various techniques for managing the collection of macro-actions generated are also discussed. Finally, an explanation of the extension of the techniques to other planning systems is presented
