The authors design the system frame and its composing modules according to the main function of this information system. Findings - The research builds an expected supervision information system with four functional modules, which is designed according to logical sequence of supervision, based on a theoretical supervision mechanism. Originality/value - The system is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the most advanced and practical information system for GIP supervision published in the literature. 收起
