Abstract

Each program has the main goal, subgoals, subsubgoals, and concrete research that compose the program structure. The quantitative methodology is assigned to optimize its leads and structure. This is very significant issue related to program management. Nowadays, the methodology is a unique instrument that a manager can use to validate optimization. The core of the problem is the specific evaluation of information to be found by all research. For this goal some elements of system analysis were consistently used, such as a relevance tree, morphological classifier to code information, and specifically structured international data base - Control Informational Model (CIM). CIM plays the role of informational standard. The optimized progam has its own structure of information. A substantiative comparison of this structure with CIM allows us to estimate the appropriate emphasis and the focus of research in each area of a given program. Updating of the CIM-database insures receiving on-line significant and objective information for program optimization. The methodology can help develop the substantiative and effective decisions in a short period time. (A)
