A Proposed Mining Based Business Continuity Information System for Educational Institutes

Abstract

It has become an essential element for all organizations to be engaged in a more deliberate transform for prevention, protection, preparedness, mitigation and reaction to Business Continuity Management (BCM) and recovery. It is becoming risky for the organization to reply of disaster plan which targets to minimize the causes of the disruption. An organization should take a proactive approach to reduce the likelihood as well as the probability of the disruptions. It involves the development of advanced measures and actions that enable the organization to take action in such a way that the critical and essential functions of business could continue according to the predefined level of change and disruption. Recovering from disruptions is a challenge; it relies on an emergency response plan or uses disaster management strategies that were previously used. BCM is considered mandatory to provide a systematic approach towards crisis response in order to increase organizational resilience capability. It is necessarily required by the organization to protect its reputation, brand, value adding activities and stakeholders' interests. This paper proposes an intelligent framework that applies the business continuity management process on an educational institute which reveals the stakeholder awareness of the business continuity level in their organization. In order to successfully formulate the proposed framework, the research went through a set of phases. The research presented the whole process phases for developing the proposed framework which is based on applying the suitable technique in each phase to guarantee a suitable performance with ensuring the results' validity. The research used 93% confidence, Z = 1.98 with error margin E = 0.03 for sampling selection and the determined association were 94% confidence for 93 rules. Finally, the research discussed the recommendations for successful crisis management process with the support of intelligent techniques.

“…However, the research was only introducing a proposed approach with results that reveal its vital perspective but lacked an experimental study to prove the applicability of the proposed approach. Moreover, the research of (Idrees, El Seddawy, & EL Moaaz, 2019) presented the vital role of data mining techniques in business continuity.

Neural Network-Based Prediction Model for Sites' Overhead in Commercial Projects

“…The construction sector has a great impact on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it represents about 16.5% of the total Egyptian GDP. However, after the Egyptian revolution in 2011 and the floating exchange rate for the Egyptian pound in November 2016 followed by a high inflation rate, many sectors suffered due to the unstable economic situation accompanied by the political risks in Egypt (Idrees, El Seddawy, & EL Moaaz, 2019) (Khedr, Idrees, & El Seddawy, 2016). With all these factors into consideration, an accurate estimate for the project cost is needed by building construction companies in Egypt, and controlling project costs has become more important and with greater impact than before (Idrees, Alsheref, & ElSeddawy, 2019).…”
