Towards Automated Education Demand-Offer Information Monitoring: The System’s Architecture

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 106))

Abstract

Rapid economic changes in the knowledge requirements for labor cause a necessity to monitor education demand and offer. In this paper education demand and offer information monitoring (EduMON) system is proposed. The system can obtain the monitoring information from unstructured or semistructured textual information sources. The use of the monitoring system in educational institutions can foster study course compliance with knowledge required in job market. In enterprises it can help to evaluate knowledge potential of educational institutions for selecting employees or providing continious education possibilities. Human Resource management systems, job seeking portals, educational institution information systems and other systems could also use the analysis services provided by the EduMON system. Vacancy descriptions and university course descriptions are the main information sources wherefrom the education information in terms of skills, knowledge, and/or competences is retrieved. EduMON architecture accommodates the scope of services starting from the information retrieval to information analysis and presentation. Brief overview of the services is given by describing their basic functionality and implementation considerations.
