| Abstract:
|
In a series of research papers, the authors have studied some of the most important models of a contemporary universities, such as: research university, entrepreneurial university and digital university and construct their Generalized Net (GN) models. The paper is based on the case-studies of Sofia University, Technical University of Munich and University of Edinburgh. The main focus is put the analysis of the processes of the functioning of a university which effectively integrates Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in all university activities. A concrete example based on the process of course administration at University of Edinburgh is considered. This university is in a process of development an integrated information system covering most of the university activities. The opportunity of using GNs as a tool for modeling such processes is analyzed as well.
