The effects of EMI on the performance of information systems
The objective of the study in this paper is to find the possible effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the performance of an information systems which is composed of radar systems, communication stations, and an information processing center. The topology of the information system under study is presented. The performance of the information system especially the digital communication system is evaluated. The possible EMI sources are mainly from neighboring radar systems. This analysis is to help achieve the optimal design of the information system under the EM environment.
For years training was evaluated with measures such as numbers of participants, number of programs, length of programs, cost of programs and content of programs. These input focused measures have to be replaced by output focused measures. The output focused measures include learning profile and whole brain approach for the learner, competency requirements for the job, management’s role before, during and after training as well as the competency of the trainer and the effectiveness of the training environment. However, to ensure that the highest possible scores for these measures can be achieved, a multidisciplinary approach is of paramount importance. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the IAFECT™ management tool designed to ensure effective technology training. IAFECT™ is a systematic approach that involves all stakeholders. It focuses on technical competence and a high Return-On-Investment.
