By linking a cost driver framework with engineering theory, and using geographic information systems methodology, it has been possible to demonstrate that the physical geological environment has a significant effect on the cost of highway maintenance activity.
Briefly, candidate variables were identified from the literature and were generated using geographic information systems methodology and a combination of census, land use, retail, and public services data.
The generic conclusions are that prescriptive information systems methodologies are unlikely to cope well with strategic uncertainty, user communication or staff development.
Over the last three decades, several analyses in Information Science, in Information Systems Theory, Methodology, Analysis and Design, in Information (Systems) Management, in Database Design and in Decision Theory have adopted a General Definition of Information (GDI) in terms of data + meaning.
This has led to an increasing interest in the use of spatial data and geographic information systems (GIS) methodology in assessing visual attributes of the landscape.
Advances in geographic information systems, statistical methodology, and availability of high-resolution, geographically referenced health and environmental quality data have created unprecedented new opportunities to investigate environmental and other factors in explaining local geographic variations in disease.
Technology maturity is defined by four indicators: networks, information systems, computing methodologies, and security and privacy, according to the ACM Computing Classification System (CCS 2014), which is well accepted in the computer science society.
The aim of this paper is to fill this gap with developing an adaptable, geographical information system-based methodology and implement it in a study area where the previously mentioned conditions are highly observable.
We adapted Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) methodology to develop the Proxy-Reported Pulmonary Outcomes Scale (PRPOS).
We adapted Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) methodology, a widely recognized system of instrument item selection and refinement for patient-reported outcomes [ 13- 18], to develop a parsimonious Proxy-Reported Pulmonary Outcomes Scale (PRPOS).
The information systems risk management methodology was developed with an eye to guiding the design and the management of security of an information system within the framework of an organization.
