DMS Implications for Universities

G.A.T.S. and universities: implications for research.

The likely impact of applying the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) to higher education are examined. GATS aims to "open up" services to competition: no preference can be shown to national or government providers. The consequences for teaching are likely to be that private companies, with degree-awarding powers, would be eligible for the same subsidies as public providers. Appealing...

Comparing Universities: Peer Selection by University of Toronto and Its Implications for Chinese Universities

Diversity among institutions or, at least, institutional types, is a policy objective that most systems of higher education pursue although to different degrees. North American colleges and universities, for example, are among the most diverse in the world. In the East, Chinese universities have until recently tended to be highly homogeneous. At the same time both systems are concerned about eq...

The Implications of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems for Universities

Semantic Designs DMS SRT

Semantic Designs champions the view that software engineers typically maintain code, when a more valuable approach would be maintaining the design concepts, the implementation steps and the relation between the two that led to the creation of the code. The Design Maintenance System Software Reengineering Toolkit (DMS SRT) is capable of automating the capture, analysis and transformation of low-...
