Designing A Prototype For Analytical Model Selection And Execution To Support Self-Service Bi, Greg Schymik, David Schuff, Karen Corral, Robert St. Louis

IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations

This paper presents a prototype of a modeling tool specifically designed for business analysts with little modeling experience. The proposed tool has an interactive user interface for a dimensional data store that contains a library of analytical models that business analysts can evaluate and use to create models they can run on their own data sets. Using a design science approach, we review the relevant literature in self-efficacy and feedforward to provide a kernel theory that informs the design criteria met by our proof of concept prototype. Specifically, we demonstrate the prototype’s user interface with a prediction problem faced by …


Automatically Detecting The Resonance Of Terrorist Movement Frames On The Web, Ugochukwu O. Etudo 2017 Virginia Commonwealth University

Automatically Detecting The Resonance Of Terrorist Movement Frames On The Web, Ugochukwu O. Etudo

Theses and Dissertations

The ever-increasing use of the internet by terrorist groups as a platform for the dissemination of radical, violent ideologies is well documented. The internet has, in this way, become a breeding ground for potential lone-wolf terrorists; that is, individuals who commit acts of terror inspired by the ideological rhetoric emitted by terrorist organizations. These individuals are characterized by their lack of formal affiliation with terror organizations, making them difficult to intercept with traditional intelligence techniques. The radicalization of individuals on the internet poses a considerable threat to law enforcement and national security officials. This new medium of radicalization, however, also …

Improving It Requirement Accountability, George Powell 2017 Wright State University - Main Campus

Improving It Requirement Accountability, George Powell

Master of Information Systems Capstone Executive Summary

The Communication & Information (SC) Directorate has centralized the collection and management of Information Technology (IT) requirements used by the center to request, acquire, and install IT related items using a Government Off The Shelf (GOTS) application called the Information Technology Requirements Database (ITRDB). While the ITRDB works sufficiently, a decision was made to pursue ways to increase accountability within the tool for requirements that request: hardware renewals, software renewals, and requirements that stop having forward progress in the process.

Key Performance Indicators In An Agile Supply Chain, Jacob Langston 2017 Wright State University - Main Campus

Key Performance Indicators In An Agile Supply Chain, Jacob Langston

Master of Information Systems Capstone Executive Summary

Agile supply chains offer the flexibility required to support customers who require a “quick response” to demand requirements. Coupled with lean process improvements and integrated solutions, cost-effective supply chains can be established that provide the infrastructure needed to support the agility needed to meet customer demands; ultimately increasing market share and continued growth. While Emerson’s mission to remain an industry leader in the HVAC&R Industry aligns with these aspects of supply chain management, current system infrastructure does not support such flexibility. Multiple execution tools, processes and one-off solutions make it difficult to standardize reporting methodologies for performance metrics. This leads …

Measuring Actual Behaviors In Hci Research – A Call To Action And An Example, Parker A. Williams, Jeffrey L. Jenkins, Joseph S. Valacich, Michael D. Byrd 2017 University of Arizona

Measuring Actual Behaviors In Hci Research – A Call To Action And An Example, Parker A. Williams, Jeffrey L. Jenkins, Joseph S. Valacich, Michael D. Byrd

Faculty Publications

There have been repeated calls for studies in behavioral science and human-computer interaction (HCI) research to measure participants’ actual behaviors. HCI research studies often use multiple constructs as perceived measures of behavior, which are captured using participants’ self-reports on surveys. Response biases, however, are a widespread threat to the validity of self-report measures. To mitigate this threat to validity, we propose that studies in HCI measure actual behaviors in appropriate contexts rather than solely perceptions. We report an example of using movements that reflect both actual behavior and behavioral changes measured within a health care IS usage context, specifically the …

How Multinational Corporations Use Information Technology To Manage Global Operations, Jonathan W. Whitaker, Peter Ekman, Steven M. Thompson 2017 University of Richmond

How Multinational Corporations Use Information Technology To Manage Global Operations, Jonathan W. Whitaker, Peter Ekman, Steven M. Thompson

Management Faculty Publications

Despite a generally-acknowledged importance of information technology (IT) in enabling global strategy and a broad understanding of the manner in which IT enhances coordination and reduces cost, few studies have focused precisely on how multinational corporations (MNCs) use IT to facilitate globalization. To address this gap in the literature, we conduct a case study across four large MNCs, and use primary data to develop theoretical propositions on the characteristics of products, processes and customers that impact the ways in which MNCs use IT to manage their global operations.


Usability Modeling Of Academic Search User Interface, Tsangyao Chen, Melissa Gross 2017 Missouri University of Science and Technology

Usability Modeling Of Academic Search User Interface, Tsangyao Chen, Melissa Gross

Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works

Usability is a core concept in HCI and is a common quality attribute for the design and evaluation of interactive systems. However, usability is a fluid construct and requires context-specific frameworks to be clearly defined and operationalized. Academic search user interfaces (SUIs) include the search portals of academic and research libraries, digital data repositories, academic data aggregators, and commercial publishers. In addition to information lookup, academic SUIs serve scientific information seeking in learning, exploration, and problem-solving. Researchers in library and information science (LIS) have intensively studied information seeking behavior. In recent years, exploratory search has gained attention from LIS researchers …

Blown To Bits Project, David Schmidt

Informatics Open Educational Resources

The book, Blown to Bits, uncovers the many ways that the new digital world has changed and is changing our whole environment. Some changes are incremental but others are more revolutionary. Some of the changes that we welcome are slowly eroding our privacy and are changing the rules of ownership. This book illuminates the complexities of these changes. I have attempted to capture the central points in selected chapters, and in some cases I have added new material or new examples to replace dated material. I picked chapters to summarize that address the following topics (and more). There are many …

A Systems View Of Is Governance And It Governance: A Case Study Of The Virginia Department Of Transportation, Bernard Farkas 2017 Virginia Commonwealth University

A Systems View Of Is Governance And It Governance: A Case Study Of The Virginia Department Of Transportation, Bernard Farkas

Theses and Dissertations

A review of the research related to Information Technology (IT) governance reveals that researchers have yet to use systems theory directly as a basis for understanding IT governance; however, analysis of these researchers’ various definitions of IT governance shows a concurrence between these definitions and the characteristics of a system. This case study research adopts a systems imagination to observe IS and IT governance in the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), which has a budget of over $5 billion and over 7,500 employees and has recently conducted a strategic assessment of its IT organization - including IS and IT governance. …
