development and deployment of a biomaterial tracking and management btmtm software System into anatomic pathology practice to support tissueprocurement and research activities
Cancer Research, 2004Co-Authors: Christopher J Scarlett, Aiqun Nielsen, Robert C Baxter, Jaswinder S Samra, Ross C SmithAbstract:5226 The direction of research in genomic and proteomic medicine highlights the value of institutionally based biospecimens and data repositories and the unique roles of pathology and informatics for their development, integration and management. To facilitate researchers’ access to an institutionally based biospecimen facility, we developed a real-time, web-based tracking and management software System with inquiry functionality. This application enables pathology personnel to rapidly accession and track tissue samples as well as supports real-time, HIPAA compliant queries from researchers looking for samples. The System is currently deployed on a Dell PowerEdge Server running Windows 2000 Server Operating System. Internet services are provided through Microsoft Internet Information Server. The BTM™ is capable of working with any relational database management System. Our implementation uses MS-SQL. Application coding was managed with a variety of tools but ultimately generates JavaScript and Microsoft active Server pages (ASP). Windows OS Client workstations require only Microsoft Internet Explorer as well as bar code printer and scanner drivers. The design, development, and implementation have occurred in 3 discrete phases: pilot Systems development; operational Systems deployment and integration; and enterprise and interfacing. Currently, we have completed pilot testing of most System components. The second phase of the project is now under way, with integration of the software into the clinical workflow allowing specimens to be added to the repository as they are received. Steps include installation of workstations in the surgical pathology gross dissection areas. Implementation of the BTM™ is occurring in conjunction with implementation of an AP-LIS that will utilize the same workstation hardware. The Enterprise Interface phase of the project focuses on interfaces between the BTM™, and the AP-LIS, eliminating effort and error due to duplicate entry of data at sample accession. This final step will require a highly coordinated, team approach on the part of Pathology Informatics, Henry Ford Health System information technology and our commercial partners. Completion of this project over the next two years will link our clinical information Systems to the BTM™ allowing for an efficient and reliable System for tracking and managing tissue specimens. Simultaneously, tightly securing data, patient confidentiality and support researchers needs to mine tissue banks for appropriate sample selection.

Operating Systems course in a business information Systems curriculum
International Journal of Business Information Systems, 2015Co-Authors: Nijaz BajgoricAbstract:Operating Systems are traditionally taught from computer science/computer engineering perspective. However, as more and more businesses progressively rely on the availability and scalability of their business information System infrastructures which are in most cases based on client/Server architecture, the roles of Servers and Server Operating Systems are becoming critical with regard to business applications' availability. It turned out that many businesses in e-business era simply go 'out of business' due to the downtime caused by Server Operating System crashes. Therefore, Operating Systems, particularly Server Operating Systems, should be taught in business information Systems programs as well, with an emphasis on their business perspective. A framework for designing and delivering an Operating System course in a business information Systems BIS undergraduate program is presented.

System administration for business continuity – the case of HP-UX Operating System
International Journal of Business Continuity and Risk Management, 2012Co-Authors: Nijaz BajgoricAbstract:The paper explores the roles of System administration as an IT-operation and System administrator as an IT-specialist from business continuity perspective. It aims at identifying the most critical System administrator's activities and Server Operating System's features for achieving high availability ratios and hence enhancing business continuity. HP's HP-UX as a Server Operating System is selected as a case. A thorough list of main System administration commands, tools, techniques and technologies on the HP-UX Operating platform that are crucial for enhancing business continuity are identified. The paper is presented in a form of case study combined with the Systems approach in exploring modern Server Operating environments, System administration, availability and business continuity. The paper can be used to identify a framework for defining additional skills of System administrators and necessary features of Server Operating environment within the efforts of enhancing high availability ratios and business continuity.

Wiley Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Engineering - Operating Systems: A Business Perspective
Wiley Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Engineering, 2009Co-Authors: Nijaz BajgoricAbstract:The proliferation of e-business applications and enterprise information Systems that use several models of client-Server architectures has created the need for a common business perspective of Operating Systems, particularly Server Operating Systems. In this article, we propose a framework for studying Operating Systems for business Systems within the concepts of business continuity and continuous computing tehnologies that can be used for enhancing business continuity. The framework first identifies the main attributes of continuous computing and then locates the role of Server Operating Systems and the so-called Server Operating environment. Server Operating Systems are expected to have a powerful “business dimension” as a set of features that relate to high availability, reliability, and scalability ratios as today's business has to be resilient and operational on an “always-on” basis. Servers and Server Operating Systems that provide zero downtime or 100% uptime or a solution that is “near it” are of extreme importance for many businesses today. This article considers Server Operating Systems in a broader sense as a core component of a Server Operating environment that employs several information technologies in the form of continuous computing technologies for enhancing the levels of continuous computing and business continuity. In addition, the article presents a framework for the selection of enterprise Servers and a Server operation System from a business continuity perspective.

System Administration and System Administrator's Role in Business Continuity
Continuous Computing Technologies for Enhancing Business Continuity, 2009Co-Authors: Nijaz BajgoricAbstract:Chapter IX focuses on the role of System administration as an IT-profession and System administrator as a person who does the administrative (managerial) activites on Servers and Server Operating Systems. If Server goes down for any reason or Server Operating System crashes, in most cases it is up to this person to “recover” the Server from the bad situation and make sure that business – critical applications continue to run and provide services to end users. HP-UX as a Server Operating System platform is selected in order to demonstrate most commonly used techniques and features that may lead to higher levels of System availability.

Libre" software : turning fads into institutions?
Research Policy, 2003Co-Authors: Jean-michel Dalle, Nicolas JullienAbstract:The article presents an economic analysis of Libre software and of its sustainability as a new economic model for software. We underline the role of Libre software development communities and analyze incentives for both kernel and obscure developers. We emphasize the role of the so-called public licenses to provide an appropriate institutional framework. We show that several features of Libre software also allow it to improve faster than proprietary software, and therefore to achieve strong market performance when competing against existing standards, even when proprietary software producers react. We illustrate our point using a simple local and global interaction model to study the technological competition between Linux and Windows on the Server Operating System (OS) market. We finally argue that if sufficient initial momentum could be created through public intervention Libre software could turn from a fad into an efficient economic institution to correct inefficiencies due to network externalities.
