TL;DR: An execution architecture, a development architecture and an operations architecture for a netcentric computing system are described in this paper, where the purpose of the development environment is to support the tasks involved in the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of business systems, as well as the associated management processes.
Abstract: An execution architecture, a development architecture and an operations architecture for a netcentric computing system. The execution architecture contains common, run-time services required when an application executes in the netcentric computing system. The development architecture is the production environment for one or several systems development projects as well as for maintenance efforts. The purpose of the development environment is to support the tasks involved in the analysis, design, construction, and maintenance of business systems, as well as the associated management processes. It is important to note that the environment should adequately support all the development tasks, not just the code/compile/test/debug cycle. The operations architecture is a combination of tools and support services required to keep a production system up and running efficiently.
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to better define the IT infrastructure flexibility construct and to develop a valid, reliable measurement instrument for this construct, and to explore the instrument's predictive validity with possible antecedent and consequent variables.
Abstract: Researchers and practitioners alike have taken note of the potential value of an organization's IT infrastructure. IT infrastructure expenditures account for over 58 percent of an organization's IT budget and the percentage is growing at 11 percent a year. Some even have called IT infrastructure the new competitive weapon and see it as being crucial in developing a sustained competitive advantage. Unique characteristics of an IT infrastructure determine the value of that infrastructure to an organization. One characteristic, IT infrastructure flexibility, has captured the attention of researchers and practitioners. In fact, in most recent surveys featuring issues of most importance to IT executives, the development of a flexible and responsive IT infrastructure and related topics are always at or near the top of the responses. Although the importance of IT infrastructure flexibility has been established, the development of a valid, reliable instrument to measure this construct has not been reported in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to better define the IT infrastructure flexibility construct and to develop a valid, reliable measurement instrument for this construct. In addition to the definition and operationalization of the IT infrastructure flexibility construct, this study explores the instrument's predictive validity with possible antecedent and consequent variables.
TL;DR: A framework for identifying the types of behavioral assumptions typically made in analytical OM models is developed and this framework is used to organize the results of prior behavioral research and identify future research opportunities.
TL;DR: In this article, a data warehouse computing system (20) including a server connected with a client, a software distribution tool, a configuration and asset management, a fault management and recovery management tool, capacity planning, a performance management tool and a license management tool is presented.
Abstract: A data warehouse computing system (20) including a server connected to a client (26), a data warehouse architecture (40), metadata management (130), a population architecture (140), an end-user access architecture (110), an operations architecture (78), and a development architecture (50). The operations architecture includes a server connected with a client, a software distribution tool, a configuration and asset management tool, a fault management and recovery management tool, a capacity planning tool, a performance management tool, a license management tool, a remote management tool, an event management tool, a systems monitoring and tuning tool, a security tool, a user administration tool, a production control application set, and a help desk tool. The development architecture includes a process management tool, a personal productivity tool, a quality management tool, a system building tool, an environment management tool, a program and project management tool, a personal productivity tool and an information management tool.
