Organization of verification and testing in France

A presentation of planned certification organization in France is made. This organization takes into account the European frame as well as tendencies in other countries of the world. Differentiation is made between certification and validation and different schemes give the mechanisms of processes.     

Software validation: A government-imposed challenge to the state-of-the-art in certification

Software certification can well be a problem when the products to be certified are:

1. i) implemented differently by different manufacturers;

2. ii) only functionally equivalent for a subset of their outputs;

3. iii) validated by a single, public institution.

The paper presents a case of this type and describes the efforts made by the working group responsible for performing the validation task.     

Elucidating the role of IT/IS assessment and resource allocation in IT/IS performance in hospitals

Although similar to firms in other industries that strive to increase their operational efficiency by implementing IT/IS, hospitals face difficulties in obtaining the corresponding benefits of investing in IT/IS. This study investigates the relations among IT/IS performance, IT maturity, IT/IS assessment, IT/IS resource allocation, and user satisfaction in hospitals. IT/IS performance in hospitals is evaluated using a designed questionnaire, along with a case study undertaken to discuss IT/IS assessment and the effect of IT/IS on hospital procedures. The analysis results indicate that hospitals have a higher IT maturity, stronger intention to implement IT/IS assessment, and better IT/IS resource allocation capabilities than firms in other industries. Moreover, both IT/IS assessment and user satisfaction affect IT/IS performance in hospitals.

The standardization of RTL/2

This paper describes the problems encountered during the standardization of RTL/2. It is presented as an object lesson to illustrate the care needed when first defining a programming language to ensure that the loopholes are few. As well as describing the minor alterations made to the definition of RTL/2, this paper serves as a historical record of some of the other possible changes which were considered and rejected.     

Managing culture creep: Toward a strategic model of user IT culture

This article describes a framework of IT user culture that has implications for organizational IT strategy. The research was conducted in multiple settings with a grounded theory approach. The resulting framework is anchored to nine archetypal IT user profiles and encompasses their inter-group dynamics. By adopting a cultural perspective on IT usage, the framework can inform IT adoption and usage strategy with possible cultural antecedents and determinants of usage constructs common in IS research. The proposed framework suggests how management can influence the migration of IT user culture (culture creep). This framework can also enrich other acceptance models in order to more fully consider the human factor during IT implementation and adoption. The results underscore the importance of culture-customizing organizational IT socialization, training and evolution programs.     

Vertical IS standards deployment and integration: A study of antecedents and benefits

We drew on institutional and learning theories to develop a research model assessing how organizations influence standards deployment and integration by creating institutional pressures and learning opportunities. We also examined how standards deployment and integration differentially influenced operational and strategic benefits. Survey data was collected from organizations in China who have implemented RosettaNet. Overall, the study extended research on standards adoption by examining how the learning perspective complemented institutional pressures, generating an integrated view of how pressures and learning from other organizations influence standards deployment and integration as important dimensions of standards use, as well as the benefits arising from their use.     

一种基于主色外观图的彩色图像分割算法

在对三维传统的颜色直方图(CCH)作出了一系列改进的基础上,提出了一种基于主色外观图(DCG)的新的彩色图像分割方法.首先根据改进后的颜色直方图确立彩色图像的近似主色成分,然后再利用CIE-1976色差公式分别计算出其每个像素与主色之间的距离,并据此建立相应图像的颜色距离直方图(CDH),它精确地反映了图像像素与参考色之间的色彩相似度.为了证实CDH在彩色图像分割中的效用性,又通过进一步地扩展得到了CDH集,或可称为主色外观图.实验结果表明,就精确性、鲁棒性和计算的复杂度而言,基于DCG的分割方法能够得到比传统阈值法和聚类法更好的分割效果.

Empirical analysis of risk-taking behavior in IT platform migration decisions

Information technology (IT) platform migration incurs a great deal of risk because of the massive rewriting of legacy systems and a wide range of new technology adoptions. Therefore IT platform decisions need to be made in a mindful manner because of the high degree of investment risk. However, more aggressive migrations, compared to the global trend, to an open system have been observed in Korean organizations. This phenomenon defies the common understanding of IT investment risk and encourages the investigation of the elusive characteristics underlying IT investment decisions. The effect of IT decision-makers’ perceptions and risk propensity on their IT platform migration decisions is examined in the context of risky decisions. In addition to risk perception, decision-makers’ risk propensity also has a significant effect on IT investment decisions. By observing the monarchical IT governance and IT-biased careers of decision-makers, some implications of large-scale IT investment decisions are derived.     

An empirical examination of a process-oriented IT business success model

The value of information technology (IT) to modern organizations is almost undeniable. However, the determination of that value has been elusive in research and practice. We used a process-oriented research model developed using two streams of IT research to examine the value of IT in business organizations. One stream is characterized by examining how IT and non-IT variables affect other so-called IT success variables. The second stream is commonly referred to as IT business value, defined as the contribution of IT to firm performance. The resulting research model is referred to in our paper as the IT business success model. Data was collected from 225 top IS executives in fairly large organizations to empirically examine several hypotheses derived from theory concerning the causal nature of the IT business success model. A set of measures for the IT business success model was developed through an intense investigation of the IT literature. The measures were tested for validity and reliability using confirmatory factor analysis. The hypotheses that resulted from past research and conceptually illustrated in the research model were assessed using structural equation analysis. The implications of these findings and the limitations of the study are discussed in an effort to contribute to building a process-oriented theory base for IT business success at the organizational level of analysis.

Exploring IT Dependence and IT Governance

The purpose of this study is to identify the IT governance mechanisms that are used at different levels of IT dependence (defensive or offensive IT modes) and to compare the degree of their use between these IT modes. The results of a survey suggest that the degree of use of IT governance mechanisms varies by IT mode, and it is greater when a firm is in offensive versus defensive IT mode.     

The IT Value Hierarchy: Using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a Metaphor for Gauging the Maturity Level of Information Technology Use within Competitive Organizations

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a hierarchy of progressive IT maturity using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a metaphor for articulating the increasing value that can be derived by the application of Information Technology within competitive organizations. The authors refer to this maturity model as the IT Value Hierarchy. Each level of the IT Value Hierarchy is described using examples and comparisons to Maslow's Hierarchy. The model can be used by IT executives as a framework for better explaining and discussing the value of increasingly sophisticated Information Technology use within the enterprise.
