The role of goal awareness and information technology self-efficacy on job satisfaction of healthcare system users

This paper investigates the influence of goal awareness and IT self-efficacy on job satisfaction based on the motivation sequence model, goal-setting theory, and social cognitive theory. Using a large-scale field survey of healthcare enterprise resource planning (ERP) system users (n?=?352), this study investigates these relationships and provides important insight to healthcare ERP system researchers and managers. Both goal awareness and IT self-efficacy influence positive job satisfaction of healthcare ERP system users, as expected. Furthermore, the influence of goal awareness is stronger when the role of ERP systems is highly perceived for decision-making of the job. There was no interaction effect between goal awareness and IT self-efficacy in the post hoc analysis. The model is significantly supported by the empirical test with the large number of field data from healthcare ERP system users in the healthcare company. Practical and academic implications are discussed in the paper.     

On event design in event-triggered feedback systems

This paper studies event design in event-triggered feedback systems. A novel event-triggering scheme is presented to ensure exponential stability of the resulting sampled-data system. The scheme postpones the triggering of events over previously proposed methods and therefore enlarges the intersampling period. The resulting intersampling periods and deadlines are bounded strictly away from zero when the continuous time system is input-to-state stable with respect to measurement errors.     

Model reduction of multi-scale chemical Langevin equations

This paper addresses the model reduction problem for a class of stiff chemical Langevin equations that arise as models of biomolecular networks with fast and slow reactions and can be described as continuous Markov processes. Initially, a coordinate transformation is sought that allows the decoupling of fast and slow variables in the model equations. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for such a linear transformation to exist, along with an explicit change of variables which achieves the desired decoupling. For the systems for which this step is applicable, the method of adiabatic elimination is applied to determine a representation of the slow dynamics. Theoretical concepts and results are illustrated with simple examples.     

Admission control for a responsive distributed middleware using decision trees to model run-time parameters

The software in modern systems has become too complex to make accurate predictions about their performance under different configurations. Real-time or even responsiveness requirements cannot be met because it is not possible to perform admission control for new or changing tasks if we cannot tell how their execution affects the other tasks already running. Previously, we proposed a resource-allocation middleware that manages the execution of tasks in a complex distributed system with real-time requirements. The middleware behavior can be modeled depending on the configuration of the tasks running, so that the performance of any given configuration can be calculated. This makes it possible to have admission control in such a system, but the model requires knowledge of run-time parameters. We propose the utilization of machine-learning algorithms to obtain the model parameters, and be able to predict the system performance under any configuration, so that we can provide a full admission control mechanism for complex software systems. In this paper, we present such an admission control mechanism, we measure its accuracy in estimating the parameters of the model, and we evaluate its performance to determine its suitability for a real-time or responsive system.

Performance Analysis of Periodic Control for l1 and l∞ Disturbance Rejection

This paper presents a performance analysis of discrete time periodically time varying controllers for the rejection of l_p specific and uniform disturbances. Earlier results on l₂ performance are extended to l₁ and l_∞ performance to present a unified treatment of l_p performance for all p ε [1, ∞]. For a given linear time varying periodic controller, a linear time invariant controller is constructed and necessary and sufficient conditions are presented under which the linear time invariant controller gives strictly better l_p disturbance rejection performance than the time varying periodic controller.
