Within the information systems field, reference models have been known for many years. A reference model is a conceptual framework and may be used as a blueprint for information systems development. Despite the relevance of reference model quality, little research has been undertaken on their systematical analysis and evaluation. In this chapter, we describe how reference models can be analyzed from an ontological point of view. Such an analysis consists of four steps: 1) developing a transformation mapping, 2) identifying ontological modeling deficiencies, 3) transforming the reference model, and 4) assessing the results. The usefulness of our method will be demonstrated by analyzing Scheer’s reference model for production planning and control. Although our approach is based on sound theory, we argue that this approach is not inherently superior to other approaches of reference model analysis and evaluation.

Changes Over Time

The analysis and evaluation of urban structure are important while considering sustainable urban policies. It is necessary to develop a method that can easily analyze the social dynamics that are the result of changes over time in urban transportation and land use. Therefore, by describing the relationships between various agents in urban areas as a network, it is possible to analyze them by focusing on their structures. However, since there are few existing studies on social dynamics using network-based methods, it is necessary to examine the validity and effectiveness of these methods. The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of urban analysis and evaluation focusing on the network shape by describing the urban activities and modeling the dynamics with a multilayer network. In particular, we focus on household composition and individual facility access, examine what kind of interpretation is possible for network indicators, and mention the applicability of complex networks to urban analysis. The model was applied to a two-dimensional grid virtual city, and the household composition and individual facility accessibility were quantified using the centrality index.

Within the information systems field, reference models have been known for many years. A reference model is a conceptual framework and may be used as a blueprint for information systems development. Despite the relevance of reference model quality, little research has been undertaken on their systematical analysis and evaluation. In this chapter, we evaluate Scheer’s reference model for production planning and control systems from an ontological point of view. The evaluation is based on the Bunge-Wand-Weber ontology. Several ontological anomalies are found in Scheer’s reference model. The obtained knowledge is useful for selecting, applying, and extending the reference model.

: The aim of the research is to shed light on public relations strategies in the use of information systems to improve the work of institutions as an information behavior that makes a distinction in adding new value in various ways to improving the work of institutions. To this is to identify the analysis and evaluation of the effects of the use of management information systems in identifying problems and difficulties and their importance for managing public relations in revealing strategies that public relations can follow in government or private institutions in making strategic decisions leading to plans and directions for dealing with the public of institutions, and developing systems programs Administrative information according to international standards for administrative work; to enhance the image of institutions in their vision and the goals of their institutional work plan leading to an integrated understanding and scientific information of the best ways and techniques to simplify the work in addition to groups of strategies Basic final. In light of this, the subject of the research deals with the strategy of public relations in the use of management information systems to improve work in institutions, and the way in which support, decision-making and directions are contributed by the Department of Public Relations in institutions, in the use of administrative information in the organization of work as a major goal highlighting the importance of the information strategy; in addition to developing The procedures followed and communication mechanisms in developing the management level of institutions, to facilitate communication with its external partners.
