Finished research projects: Information Systems

2016-2021 In this project a large variety of stakeholders are enabled to explore what collective action strategies are most effective to create resilience for payment system disruptions in the food system, the fuel system, the finance system and society at large.

2022-2024 Research literature on digital transformation predominantly focuses on private enterprises and large, resource-rich organisations, while we know less about digital transformation in smaller public organisations with limited resources. In this case, six municipalities in Västra Skaraborg (V6) have chosen to address their limited resources by collaborating on increased digitisation of municipal operations and through a shared IT function within the municipal federation Göliska IT.

2020-2022 The project aims to develop a tool (a browser plugin) designed to help users act appropriately in potentially risky situations online. The tool will detect when the user is in a potentially risky scenario and provide information to guide them in handling the situation safely.

2020-2021 In order to detect crises well in advance, the municipality needs to monitor what is happening in the world. Today there is no clear method for this: everyone does in their own way. In the ELISA project we take inspiration from a method used in the municipality's crime prevention work: Effective Collaboration for Security (EST). In this method, different organizations report each week what happens in society and assess together what trends occur and what different actors in society can do to respond to these events. What if the municipality could to continuously and systematically gather information in the same way to detect crisis?

2015-2017 The Erasmus+ project OMI (Open Model Initiative) has the goal to create teaching material and an modeling environment for enterprise modeling to be used for master and PhD education in Europe.

2022-2023 Gaining a competitive edge over rivals should be a key concern for all organisations. Organisations that have advanced their use of sophisticated data analysis (predictive analytics, prescriptive analytics) beyond pilot projects and identify themselves as data-driven tend to be industry leaders.

2019-2020 The project is a preliminary study aimed at establishing a European consortium for research on how context-based micro-training can support users facing risky situations or making security-related decisions online.

2024 The project will focus on strengthening the implementation of the transformation of health care. The aim is to use quantitative calculations, alternative scenarios and simulations to describe how skill needs, supply and delivery of healthcare in the Västra Götaland region (VGR) may change up to 2040, both as a result of external environmental factors such as demographic pressure, medical development and the internal improvement work.

2019-2021 To promote innovation in healthcare, the innovation system needs to be developed, with the first step being to map the existing innovation system. In this project, Skaraborg Hospital will serve as a pilot to gain an understanding of the innovation system within and surrounding a hospital.

2021-2024 Many organizations develop their working methods and services through digitalisation, but few are part of a change process that is as extensive and complex as the introduction of "Framtidens Vårdinformationsmiljö (FVM)" in Västra-Götaland.

2021-2025 The goal of this project is to create a platform that enables increased, multi-perspectival understanding of energy systems, society, environment, and climate.

2020 The project evaluates the practical usability of the tools developed in the EU ISF project ELVIRA to assess the vulnerability of IT systems for critical infrastructure, particularly power grids. The evaluation will be conducted in collaboration with medium-sized electricity grid companies.

2019-2022 Rescue services have to maintain their knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis through training and examination. Training is today primarily done in instructor-led exercises on training fields. Rescue services can train a greater variety and complexity of events with virtual simulation, while fire fighters can participate from their own station without having to travel. More skills can be developed more flexibly with virtual simulation: mass-training can be realized by training more often in shorter sessions. The research project focuses on how instructors should act to use virtual simulation successfully.
