In addition, I want to thank all of the Reviewers’ Task Panel (RTP), Executive Editorial Board (EEB), Senior Advisory Board (SAB), and the Contributing & Managing Editors (CME) for their efforts, which has made JISTP a successful and indexed academic Journal. They work hard to review, comment and format the various research papers to fulfill accreditation standards. The articles in this issue offer intellectual contributions and focus on the broadening of academic resources, a continuous development and exchange of ideas among global research professionals. This Journal covers general topics in Information Systems Technology (IST) and Planning which have qualitative, quantitative or hybrid perspectives. JISTP examines contemporary topics with special interest to practitioners, governments and academics that pertains to: organization infrastructure, management information systems, technology analysis, strategic information systems, communication transformation and decision support systems. Importantly, it highlights areas such as: (1) IST planning, technology innovation, technology models and services; (2) Practitioners, academics and business leaders who have impact on information systems adoption, both inside and outside of their organizations; and (3) Businesses that examine their performance, strategies, processes and systems which provide further planning and preparedness for rapid technological changes. JISTP seeks research innovation & creativity and presents original topics. The goal of the Journal of Information Systems Technology & Planning (JISTP) is to provide innovative research to the business, government, and academic communities by helping to promote the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas on a global scale. JISTP seeks international input in all aspects of the Journal, including content, authorship of papers, readership, paper reviews, and Executive Editorial Board Membership. We continue to look for individuals interested in becoming a reviewer for Intellectbase conference proceedings and Journals. Potential reviewers should send a self-nomination to the editor at [email protected]. Reviewers may also be asked to be part of the Executive Editorial Board (EEB) after they have established a positive record of reviewing articles in their discipline. Also, I want to thank the Intellectbase International Consortium (IIC) Team for their hard work in producing this Issue. A COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Articles published in the Journal of Information Systems Technology & Planning (JISTP) have undergone rigorous blind review. Intellectbase is one of the world's leading publishers of high-quality multi-disciplinary research in both Academia and Industry. Intellectbase International Consortium has an unwavering commitment to providing methodical Journal content and presenting it in a comprehensible format. In the areas of integrity and journalism excellence, Intellectbase maintains a high editorial standard. Intellectbase publications are based on the most current research information available and are reviewed by members of the Executive Editorial Board (EEB) and Reviewers’ Task Panel (RTP). When there is lack of research competence on a topic (conceptual or empirical), together the EEB and RTP provide extensive feedback (based on what is known and accurate) to author(s).

  • “It Took a Global Conflict”— the Second World War and Probability in British
    Keynames: M. S. Bartlett, D.G. Kendall, stochastic processes, World War II Wordcount: 17,843 words “It took a global conflict”— the Second World War and Probability in British Mathematics John Aldrich Economics Department University of Southampton Southampton SO17 1BJ UK e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the twentieth century probability became a “respectable” branch of mathematics. This paper describes how in Britain the transformation came after the Second World War and was due largely to David Kendall and Maurice Bartlett who met and worked together in the war and afterwards worked on stochastic processes. Their interests later diverged and, while Bartlett stayed in applied probability, Kendall took an increasingly pure line. March 2020 Probability played no part in a respectable mathematics course, and it took a global conflict to change both British mathematics and D. G. Kendall. Kingman “Obituary: David George Kendall” Introduction In the twentieth century probability is said to have become a “respectable” or “bona fide” branch of mathematics, the transformation occurring at different times in different countries.1 In Britain it came after the Second World War with research on stochastic processes by Maurice Stevenson Bartlett (1910-2002; FRS 1961) and David George Kendall (1918-2007; FRS 1964).2 They also contributed as teachers, especially Kendall who was the “effective beginning of the probability tradition in this country”—his pupils and his pupils’ pupils are “everywhere” reported Bingham (1996: 185). Bartlett and Kendall had full careers—extending beyond retirement in 1975 and ‘85— but I concentrate on the years of setting-up, 1940-55.

  • David KENDALL: Father of British Probability the Independent, 1.11.2007 Professor D
    David KENDALL: Father of British probability The Independent, 1.11.2007 Professor D. G. Kendall FRS, ¯rst Professor of Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge and the founding father and grand old man of British probability, has died aged 89. David George Kendall was born in Ripon, Yorkshire on 15 January 1918. He attended Ripon Grammar School, where he became interested in astron- omy. His mathematical talents were recognized early and encouraged - one teacher gave Kendall his Cambridge Part I lecture notes, and he was read- ing scholarship material in his early teens. He won a scholarship to Queen's College Oxford in 1936. At Queen's, he was tutored by U. S. Haslam-Jones, encouraged in his astronomical interests by the astronomer Professor E. A. Milne, and taught analysis by Professor E. C. Titchmarsh. When he graduated in 1939, he won a scholarship for research in astronomy (he had already published his ¯rst paper in the ¯eld, in 1938), but with mixed feelings as he was deeply in love with mathematics, particularly analysis. As he put it, "I was still torn between the two subjects and couldn't see how the conflict would be resolved, but Hitler resolved it for me." Like other brilliant young mathematicians of the time, Kendall soon be- came involved in war work. In March 1940, he began work with the Projectile Development Establishment, where he worked on rockets. As a result of the forced evacuations from Dunkirk and Norway, the British Army had had to abandon most of its heavy equipment, in particular artillery.

  • David George Kendall and Applied Probability
    J. Appl. Prob. 45, 293–296 (2008) Printed in England © Applied Probability Trust 2008 DAVID GEORGE KENDALL AND APPLIED PROBABILITY David George Kendall, described as ‘the father of British probability’ in obituaries in The Independent, 1 November 2007, and in The Times, 21 November 2007, died on 23 October 2007 after a decade of declining health. A more rounded appreciation of his contributions to learning will in due course appear in the Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, for he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1964 and served on its Council in 1967–69 and 1983–84. These notes record his particular contributions to the activities of the Applied Probability Trust and attempt to survey some aspects of his work in the field of applied probability more generally. Indeed, it was in the applied probability field, broadly interpreted, that David Kendall played a pre-eminent role as an exemplar, mentor, and organiser for over 50 years of his active public life that built on his being called into wartime service in March 1940. Much of this can be gleaned from the quasi autobiographicalA conversation with David Kendall [2], especially of his formative years in Ripon where he was born (15 January 1918) and schooled, his undergraduate days in Oxford, and most importantly his experiences in operations research during and after World War II when inter alia he was given a week to learn statistics from Frank Anscombe, who used his notes from Maurice Bartlett’s Cambridge lectures. Much of his effort during the war was concerned with aspects of rocketry, and innumerable reports were written, presumably (from his conversation with Bingham) on sundry numerical applications, while his spare time was given over to pondering more mathematical matters.
