ITR: Modeling the Social and Technical Processes of Interorganizational Information Integration

组织间信息集成的社会和技术过程建模该拨款将开发和测试多组织政府设置中的信息集成动态模型。将解决三个问题：1)在政府各级和机构之间整合信息所涉及的关键因素和过程是什么？2)在不同的整合类型和程度下，这些因素和过程是如何变化的？3)集成过程是否可以通过提高对信息系统开发和组织间协作的理解的方式进行建模？会议将特别介绍两个政策领域；执法和环境保护。这两个领域都包括联邦-州-地方各级政府的各种职能，这两个领域都在努力弥合这些层面。该项目将结合组织行为学、计算机和信息科学以及政治学的观点，并将使用系统动力学建模和社会过程建模。

EIA- 0205152Sharon DawesSUNY AlbanyModeling the Social and Technical Processes of Interorganizational Information IntegrationThis grant will develop and test dynamic models of information integration in multi-organizational government settings. Three questions will be addressed: 1) What are the critical factors and processes involved in integrating information across levels and agencies in government? 2) How do the factors and processes vary for different types and degrees of integration? and 3) Can the process of integration be modeled in ways that improve understanding of information system development and of inter-organizational collaboration? Two policy areas in particular will be featured; law enforcement and environmental protection. Both areas include a full range of functions across Federal-State-Local levels of government and both areas have efforts underway to bridge those levels. The project will combine perspectives from organizational behavior, computer and information science, and political science, and will use system dynamics modeling and social processes modeling.
