This chapter discusses information management technologies and systems. It covers learning objectives about the role of information and common technologies. The document outlines criteria for valuing information, key technologies like the internet and intranets, and how information needs have evolved from data to decisions. It also discusses information requirements by decision level, stages of systems development, implementation factors, and ten commandments of computer ethics.

Whether you have ever wondered about the perfect mix of Java frameworks and technologies, you should care since the combination can significantly affect the likelihood of system crash and has a material impact on the business.
CAST Research Labs (CRL) has a repository of static analysis data on Java business applications with different framework and database combinations, and we analyzed 496 applications with 152 million lines of code to provide data that can create a better vision for future Java application development.
This research shows the impact of frameworks on application structural quality, including identifying the frameworks with the highest and lowest quality scores, and how other languages and technologies affect Java application reliability.

Software Measurement for Lean Application ManagementCAST
Learn how the Lean practices pioneered in the Toyota Production System apply to the Application Development and Maintenance (ADM) of business software. Applying Lean to ADM decreases total cost of ownership and improves business responsiveness and operational dependability.
7 Steps to Pay Down the Interest on Your IT Technical DebtCAST
Dr. Bill Curtis - Dr. Bill Curtis, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist with CAST - lays out the “Technical Debt Management Cycle”, a 7-step process for analyzing and measuring Technical Debt so you can relate executive business priorities to strategic quality priorities for reducing business risk and IT cost. It includes a formula to benchmark your Technical Debt against industry data, or adjust the parameters to best fit your organization’s own maintenance and structural quality objectives, experiences, and costs.
BDIx (initially introduced in \cite{Ioannou2020}) is a BDI agent that is extended to utilise in Beliefs any other AI/ML techniques (e.g., Fuzzy Logic, Deep Learning Neural Networks, etc.) that gives, among others, to the agent a better understanding of the surrounding environment and the ability to prioritise the order the Desires will be executed. More specifically, as some Desires must conclude before the execution of others (i.e., because the output of one Desire can be an input to another), we allow the Desires to be assigned with priority values, ranging from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest).
In our DAI framework which utilises BDIx agents, this priority value is estimated by using fuzzy logic (as shown in Figure \ref{fig:flowchart}) considering in its "IF-THEN" rules the current Beliefs, the values measured by the sensors of the D2D Device, any raised events (e.g., see Table \ref{Events}) and cases where the pre-specified threshold values (e.g., Data Rate Drop less than 60\%, Signal Quality Drop less than 30\%) are exceeded. Based on the assigned priority value, Desires become Intentions which are adopted for active pursuit by the agent (referred as a Goal). When the Intention is accomplished, the priority value of the associated Desire is set to zero. In addition, a Desire that will become an Intention can have multiple plans associated with it and the Desire can select an appropriate plan based on a utility function. For simplicity, but without loss of generality, in our DAI Framework we consider each Desire, and indirectly each Intention, to be associated with only one plan. It is also important to highlight here that the Beliefs and the Desires of the BDIx agent comprising the DAI framework have been extracted from the D2D Requirements/Challenges that should be realised in order to implement 5G D2D communication.

CA CTO, inventor of SV and author John Michelsen's presentation at Oracle OpenWorld #OOW 2012. To truly achieve Agile development, enterprises need a "virtual world" to avoid constraints in software development. Service Virtualization is a new technology and practice of simulating and modeling any service or system dependency needed by teams throughout development, integration, functional and performance testing activities. Other industries from avionics to pharma already understand the power of simulation and virtual "wind tunnels" throughout design and development, and now it's time for software and IT innovation to follow this route to more consistent quality and innovation speed with SV.

Talk di Luca Zurlo (Jaspersoft) | Drupal Day Roma 2011
Si analizzerà l'importanza di uno dei principi cardine della filosofia Open Source, la collaborazione, spiegando con esempi pratici come Jaspersoft e Drupal collaborano lavorando insieme grazie ad uno specifico progetto sviluppato dalla nostra "community". Grazie alla presentazione di Luca Zurlo inoltre potrete vedere come la tecnologia di Jaspersoft può aiutare gli utenti di Drupal ad ottimizzare lo studio ed l'analisi dei propri dati migliorando qualitativamente i dati e le informazioni della propria organizzazione.

Although the lungs are one of the most vital organs in the body, they are vulnerable to infection and injury. COVID-19 has put the entire world in an unprecedented difficult situation, bringing life to a halt and claiming thousands of lives all across the world. Medical imaging, such as X-rays and computed tomography (CT), is essential in the global fight against COVID-19, and newly emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are boosting the power of imaging tools and assisting medical specialists. AI can improve job efficiency by precisely identifying infections in X-ray and CT images and allowing further measurement. We focus on the integration of AI with X-ray and CT, both of which are routinely used in frontline hospitals, to reflect the most recent progress in medical imaging and radiology combating COVID-19.
