Benefits include increased availability while challenges involve technological issues adapting DSS for the web and economic questions around new payment models.
Using Modelling and Simulation for Policy Decision Support in Identity Manage...gueste4e93e3
The process of making IT (security) policy decisions, within organizations, is complex: it involves reaching consensus between a set of stakeholders (key decision makers, e.g. CISOs/CIOs, domain experts, etc.) who might have different views, opinions and biased perceptions of how policies need to be shaped. This involves multiple negotiations and interactions between stakeholders. This suggests two roles for policy decision support tools and methods: firstly to help an individual stakeholder test and refine their understanding of the situation and, secondly, to support the formation of consensus by helping stakeholders to share their assumptions and conclusions. We argue that an approach based on modeling and simulation can help with both these aspects, moreover we show that it is possible to integrate the assumptions made so that they can be directly contrasted and discussed. We consider, as a significant example, an Identity and Access Management (IAM) scenario: we focus on the provisioning process of user accounts on enterprise applications and services, a key IAM feature that has an impact on security, compliance and business outcomes. Whilst security and compliance experts might worry that ineffective policies for provisioning could fuel security and legal threats, business experts might be against policies that dictate overly strong or bureaucratic processes as they could have a negative impact on productivity. We explore the associated policy decision making process from these different perspectives and show how our systems modeling approach can provide consistent or comparable data, explanations, “what-if” predictions and analysis at different levels of abstractions. We discuss the implications that this has on the actual IT (security) policy decision making process.
This document provides an overview of decision support systems (DSS). It discusses the history and evolution of DSS from the 1950s to present day.

The Systems Development Life Cycle Moderate and large firms with uni.pdfarwholesalelors
The Systems Development Life Cycle Moderate and large firms with unique information needs
often develop information systems in-house. That is to say that information technology (IT)
professional within the firm design and program the systems. A greater number of smaller
companies and large firms with relatively standardized information needs opt to purchase
information systems from software vendors. Both approaches represent significant financial and
operational risks. a model for reducing this risk through careful planning, execution, control, and
documentation of key activities.
The five phases of this model are:
1) Business Needs and Strategy
Systems Strategy –Assess Strategic Information Needs –Develop a Strategic Systems Plan
–Create an Action Plan
2) Project Initiation –
Systems Analysis –Conceptualization of Alternative Designs –Systems Evaluation and Selection
3.) In-House Systems Development –Construct the System –Deliver the System
4). Commercial Packages –Trends in Commercial Packages –Choosing a Package
5) Maintenance and Support
The participants in systems development can be classified into three broad groups: systems
professionals, end users, and stakeholders. Systems professionals are systems analysts, systems
designers, and programmers. These individuals actually build the system. They gather facts
about problems with the current system, analyze these facts, and formulate a solution to solve the
problems. The product of their efforts is a new system. End users are those for whom the system
is built. Many users exist at all levels in an organization. These include managers, operations
personnel, accountants, and internal auditors. In some organizations, it is difficult to find
someone who is not a user. During systems development, systems professionals work with the
primary users to obtain an understanding of the users’ problems and a clear statement of their
needs. As defined in Chapter 1, stakeholders are individuals either within or outside the
organization who have an interest in the system but are not end users. These include accountants,
internal auditors, external auditors, and the internal steering committee that oversees systems
development.
Cost/Time Analysis:
As stated before, the cost/time analysis is an attempt to calculate to what degree the project and
system will meet the objectives. The SDLC must address two topics in its support of this area:

the analysis should be expressed in quantitative terms wherever possible. Qualitative or
intangible benefits usually are reflections of poorly analyzed tangible benefits. The SDLC should
support the process of quantifying all benefits. On the costs side, the SDLC must address
development costs, installation costs and ongoing operational costs. In doing these calculations it
should differentiate between capital costs and expense costs. Cost/Benefit Algorithm The method

Shaping Tomorrow is the world’s first, multi-award winning, and only AI-driven, systems thinking model that delivers strategic foresight and anticipatory thinking in real-time.
This document discusses cognitive computing capabilities and their potential to change how people live and work. It outlines three areas of cognitive capability: engagement, discovery, and decision. Engagement capabilities allow systems to interact naturally with humans through dialogue. Discovery capabilities help systems find new patterns and insights in data. Decision capabilities allow systems to make evidence-based decisions that evolve over time. The document also notes six forces that will influence adoption rates and five dimensions that will impact future cognitive capabilities. It provides an example of how USAA uses cognitive computing to help military members transition to civilian life by answering their questions.
Three key points:
1. There are three emerging capability areas for cognitive computing: engagement, decision making, and discovery. Engagement systems change human-computer interaction, decision systems make evidence-based decisions, and discovery systems find new insights.
2. Case studies show how cognitive computing is being used by organizations like USAA, WellPoint, and Baylor College of Medicine to improve customer service, clinical decision making, and medical research.
3. The future evolution of cognitive computing will be influenced by six forces: technology advances, societal acceptance, information growth, perceptions, skills availability, and policies. Balancing these forces will impact adoption rates.

The document discusses various models and approaches for planned organizational change including Lewin's three stage model of change, Kotter's eight stage process for change, and the contracting, data gathering, intervention/action, evaluation, and disengagement stages of the meta model of planned change. It also covers different frameworks for diagnosing organizations including the 7S model, Weisbord six-box model, and analyzing an organization's direction, leadership, structure, culture and human resources.
The document discusses decision support systems (DSS), which are computer-based tools that help decision-makers in organizations solve problems and make decisions. It describes the four stages of decision making - intelligence, design, choice, and implementation. It then explains different types of DSS, including communication-based, data-based, document-based, knowledge-based, and model-based systems. Finally, it discusses benefits of using DSS and group decision support systems.
This chapter discusses decision making and employee involvement. It outlines the general model of decision making and identifies challenges in problem identification, choosing solutions, and escalating commitment. The chapter also defines different forms and levels of employee involvement, from informal to statutory. It discusses how self-directed work teams, sociotechnical systems theory, and the Vroom-Jago model determine optimal involvement levels. Finally, it addresses overcoming resistance to greater employee involvement through trust and cultural changes.

Q&A and group discussion
This document discusses information systems and decision support systems. It provides characteristics and examples of each. Both systems utilize a system development life cycle to accomplish their objectives. An information system collects, processes, stores, and disseminates data to provide information to meet an objective. A decision support system is an organized collection of people, procedures, software, databases, and devices used to help make decisions by offering suggestions to solve problems. Examples of each in healthcare include electronic health records, patient health records, and clinical decision support systems used in nursing.
This document discusses decision support systems and business intelligence. It provides learning objectives about understanding decision making in turbulent business environments and the need for computerized support. It describes early frameworks for decision support and the evolution of decision support systems into modern business intelligence approaches. Key concepts covered include structured vs. unstructured decisions, decision support system architectures, and the goals and components of business intelligence systems.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
