On scientific research information system

The presented paper proposes a design of a scientific research information system (SRIS), intended for real world use according to existing requirements and processes in the Laboratory of Intelligent Control Systems of Aircraft Engines. The novelty of the proposed SRIS lies in universal and narrow scope of the system and digitalization of existing manual processes, with the addition of algorithms and methods for research efficiency evaluation. The key idea is the possibility to design own quantitative key performance indicators (KPIs) for the efficiency evaluation. It is possible to generalize the presented approach for any research environment, either for technical, financial, time related or information efficiency evaluation. In case of a complex technical systems, the SRIS can also be considered a decision support system (DSS), when using various data mining algorithms e.g. clustering, classification, association rules, etc.
