Furthermore, existing guidance specifying a static list of products may detract from the creation of those products critical to system success. Therefore, using a unique combination of systems architecture, decision analysis, and scheduling heuristics, we analyzed the value of individual products and established associated goals for their development. A key observation from this research was the fact that the stakeholder values attributed to various products did not necessarily align with existing DoD guidance. The resulting insight enables decision-makers to more effectively guide the development and sequencing of specific products.","PeriodicalId":328811,"journal":{"name":"2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117097870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A model representing buses and bus stops is created, and the paper considers whether the model is feasible on the physical level. It does this by simulating packets sent over the area, and determining how often nodes are used, as well as how often collisions occur. In addition, because bus stops are not ideally spaced, a method for adding additional nodes is discussed. These tests are run with varying bandwidth values and ranges to determine which current wireless technologies could be considered for such a system.","PeriodicalId":328811,"journal":{"name":"2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130834429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on this framework, future research aims at developing both a generic, conceptual modeling language, and support tools to design and evaluate model-driven DSS.","PeriodicalId":328811,"journal":{"name":"2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132533103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of any future pandemic is likely to be greatest in developing countries as a result of their limited surveillance and healthcare resources. eHealth facilitates the detection and reporting of potential pandemic strains by using digital data transmitted, sorted and retrieved electronically both at the local site and at a distance. The implementation of eHealth is resource costly but developing countries have limited financial and technical resources. This adversely affects access to eHealth applications. Mobile communication technologies hold great promise in improving access to and affordability of eHealth services even to the poorest areas. This paper illustrates how a mobile phone SMS-based application can be applied to mHealth, potentially facilitating influenza pandemic surveillance in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":328811,"journal":{"name":"2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"2012 22","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114126558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, knowledge sharing is still a delicate process because the willingness to share knowledge might be hindered by the lack of favorable cultural antecedents or functional and geographic distances between the persons involved. Existing studies concerning knowledge cultures have discovered isolated cultural values favorable for individual knowledge sharing. However, studies taking cultural elements and boundary spanning knowledge sharing into consideration are still missing. To close this gap, a qualitative and inductive study has been conducted in an Austrian engineering company. We researched cultural antecedents for knowledge sharing between project teams. The results provided by the analysis technique of GABEK indicate that there are several cultural elements that foster knowledge sharing across boundaries as well as starting points for managers and employees to develop a knowledge culture.","PeriodicalId":328811,"journal":{"name":"2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130125703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, merely organizing such a committee in itself might not ensure good investment performance, owing to conflicts of interest or discord among its members. In this study, it was reviewed which characteristics of members are required for IT Investment Committee to have effective decision-making, by setting up a hypothesis based on Bounded Rationality Model and Politics Model which have been widely adopted in the strategic decision-making area and then conducting a survey on 152 companies. We found that Procedural Rationality and Political Behavior have statistically significant impact on the effectiveness of strategic decision-making on IT investment. Furthermore, degree of shared knowledge between business members and IT members participating in decision-making process and degree of two types of heterogeneity among them lead to higher level of Procedural Rationality and Political Behavior. These findings have a number of practical and theoretical implications.","PeriodicalId":328811,"journal":{"name":"2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117177732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We base our preliminary analysis of case data on the conceptualization of authority within this perspective and discuss significant case events using CCO constructs such as agency, precedence, identity, and the extension of local interactions in time and space.
