A Possible Architecture for a Company’s Management Information System Resolving Problem Situations
Abstract
Purpose: Monolithic information management systems of companies do not readily enhance their functionality, responding too slowly to the changes in the material system. One of the ways to resolve this problem is choosing integrated information systems. However, the known approaches do not allow us to rapidly integrate a new application into the information system, creating problems for the automation of management actions in unusual situations. Purpose: We need to develop a theoretical basis in order to build an integrated information system architecture which can be easily configured to resolve a difficult situation. Results: It is proposed to endow an information system with the property of behavior. The behavior of a system is a process of targeted changes in the system status with time. A behavior function of an information system appears when a problem situation arises in the material system, without any experience of solving such a problem. When designing systems with behavior, a system should be endowed with new functions without changing its architecture. We have given a set-theoretic description of company activity using a system of indicators and a metamodel of the problem situation. We have developed an algorithm of search for the data which are necessary for information support of a problem situation. A possible architecture is proposed for an integrated information system based on a multi-layered data bus.Published
