SMART
 SYSTEMS
 AND
 APPLICATIONS
 
A. Bartels (2009), Forrester Research – ACM is a smart system.

 ACQUISITION
 OF
 REAL-­‐TIME
 DATA
 
Systems
 and
 people
 provide
 more
 just-­‐in-­‐Mme
 informaMon
 that
 does
 not
 
have
 to
 be
 processed
 staMsMcally
 and
 can
 be
 used
 locally
 and
 Mmely.
 

ANALYSIS
 
Real-­‐Mme
 data
 can
 be
 routed
 into
 the
 relevant
 data
 context
 and
 made
 
visible
 to
 decision
 makers.
 Data
 have
 to
 be
 filtered
 to
 avoid
 noise.
 

ALTERNATIVES
 
Using
 causal
 system
 models
 and
 past
 data,
 decision
 makers
 can
 evaluate
 the
 
various
 alternaMves
 and
 use
 various
 means
 of
 weighMng.
 

ACTION
 
The
 system
 model
 enables
 direct
 and
 interacMve
 enactment,
 while
 
monitoring
 the
 impact
 of
 decisions
 in
 real-­‐Mme.
 

AUDITABILITY
 
The
 improved
 and
 faster
 decision-­‐making
 requires
 also
 improved
 
monitoring
 to
 increase
 transparency
 and
 berer
 learning
 from
 the
 past.
