One way to create a relevant environment is to identify appropriate methods and models for decision-making in implementing such projects. One constructive approach to defining the usefulness of a method or a model is to constitute a matrix with rows describing the kinds of project activity (stage or phase) and columns relating to a particular method or model. The authors propose implementation of software agents that suggest, either automatically or upon request, a method or model appropriate to support decision-making in each project phase. Such advanced approach improves the capabilities of decision makers to understand the impact of a particular decision, to generate options and assess alternatives, thus improving decision-making capacity and transparency of the decision making process.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Pavlov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veselina Aleksandrova</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">E-Tender - An Approach for Ensuring Transparency  in Defence Budget Management</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">defence policy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e-Government</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electronic tender</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">information technology impact</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Internet online application</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">public procurement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transparency</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">148-162</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The authors present a software product development in support of conducting of electronic tenders (“e-Tender”). The product may be implemented in accordance with the purposes of the Law on Public Tenders - the law that establishes terms and procedures for public procurement. E-Tender will facilitate transparency of defence policy concerning planning and budgeting processes - one of the main objectives of Partnership for Peace programme. This article considers the e-tender not only as an Internet on-line application for improving transparency of defence management but also as a decision support tool.
The following objectives are achieved through successful realization of a public web site for electronic submission of documents: increased public access and transparency of tenders; confidentiality of any company information provided; and confidentiality of proposals made by the prospective contractors. Each participant, through specialized programmes called agents, is able to ask for the opinion of “independent” experts (for example, experts from foreign centres for analyses and prognoses) and to add to the database of potential project contractors. Another advantage is that the possibility to create a database for those companies that have successfully executed contracts, as well for companies that have had significant problems in meeting the customers’ expectations. The software realization of such tenders would also provide excellent opportunities for accelerating the execution of urgent requests, for example, procurement of perishable products. In addition, an interested observer would be able to check what were the criteria and the method of analysis chosen by a contractor. As a whole, the transparency of public procurement relates closely to the widely discussed issues of e-Government.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Georgi Pavlov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Juliana Karakaneva</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Management of the Information Systems Development Life Cycle</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trakia Journal of Sciences</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8-12</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record></records></xml>
