Information systems (IS) to control the financial
and economic activities of the university (1
S:Predpriyatie, Parus, Galaktika, SAP R3 etc.)
IS for web conferencing, video conferencing,
webinars on different platforms (Mirapolis,
Webinar.ru, Openmeetings, dimdim, Cisco
WebEx Meeting Center etc.)
IS, providing the collection, storage, processing
and analyzing of information about the basic
university processes (1S: University, Galaktika
University Management etc.)

BOSS-Referent, Directum etc.)
Other IS (including BPMS, project management
etc.)
IS for computer testing, certification and survey
(Veral Test, eTest, FEPO etc.)

departments
Problems:
 “scrappy” automation;
 complicated, time consuming analytical data processing;
 difficulties with information support of decision-making etc.

CALS application in the field of education?
Known research on CALS-methodology:
• High-technology production (aviation, space, etc.) – information systems
integration, Common Information Space (CIS) development;
• CALS in social systems (government and education): development of the
information space between enterprises and universities, training of students
and competence model in the field of CALS.
It is important to consider the specificity of educational activities:
• standardization;
• large amounts of unstructured and semi structured data;
• active influence of controlled object on the management (social economic
relations)
• etc.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a concept for use of CALS technologies in
order to increase the efficiency of information support of educational process
control, and also interaction of its participants in CIS.

 Nowadays the Data Warehouse
contains
about
3
million
characteristics
of
information
objects;
 Web portal has over 1000 users;
 The architecture of an information
system is constructed with the use of
multi-services
technology
and
integrates more than 20 different
information
systems
(so-called
services);
 The normative and reference part
of CIS includes more than 15000
documents;
CIS possesses content properties
(portability etc.);
 Data warehouse contains 10
OLAP cubes.

An example of OLAP-report, characterizing the
educational process
Realized OLAP-reports:
• students performance;
• diploma projects;
• tests;
• teaching load;
• personnel;
• time-table;
• statistics.
• …
Used software and information
technologies: ROLAP, MS
Office Excel, Microsoft Query,

Conclusions
• The proposed concept allows to develop a model of the
educational process CIS for data integration and development
of Data Warehouse;
• The approach provides an opportunity to organize the effective
automated interaction of the educational process participants at
every level (university – department – student) in the
environment of CIS;
• Analytical data processing and the use of Data-Mining
technologies => improvement of decision-making support;
• The use of OLAP-technologies provides traceability of
educational process quality indicators in the real-time mode;
• This formalization model of CIS can be realized with the use of
cloud computing technologies.
