Session B: Information Systems and Data Warehouse
Jean-François DESNOS: A National Data Warehouse Project for French Universities

3. The specifications.

The committee, which made the specifications for the pilot issues of the data warehouse, defined three executive information boards, which have been called "scenarios".

3.1 The first scenario is about the evolution of the number of professors with regard to the research and teaching needs. The aim is to help a president's decision about recruitment.

It produces a set of reports on the number of students and teachers per the field of study, and the ages of teachers, (to forecast retirement schedules). The same information is provided regarding laboratories, thesis directors, and researchers.

3.2 The second scenario is a synthetic presentation of the faculties making up the institution.

Human Resources, (academics, associates, staff), and the financial means regarding number of students, number of degrees offered, and the developments over several years are analysed and reported in this scenario.

3.3 The third scenario aims to measure the international attractiveness of the institution. The purpose is to control the institution's policy on international reputation and exchanges.

All students involved in exchange programs with foreign universities, invited professors, and the exchange of scientific and collaborative programs are listed per field and academic year with the budgets involved.
