Very few ecommerce participants are observed to be satisfied with ecommerce-raised business expenses, profit sharing, fake products, or user privacy. In this article, a new ecommerce concept, i.e., Balanced Commerce, is proposed to address the concerns through innovative trading paradigms and principles. The balanced ecommerce promotes direct trades with no intermediary merchants, public and sharing...
Personalized recommendation techniques are critical for a healthcare system to match patients with medical services. This work presented a human-centric user modeling approach and a recommendation system, which can work well at healthcare system with sparse operation data specially at the system's early stage. With human-centric modeling paradigm, both the user model and the item model are developed,...
Nowadays, the demand for travel personality and intelligence is growing with each passing day. In this paper, the authors have designed a cloud-services-oriented personal travel application called "Cloud Travel" which used in mobile phones. The "Cloud Travel" is a highly personalized travel arrangement and auxiliary tool with distributed computing technology, it recommends travel...
In recent years, recommendation systems have developed greatly, and is so widely used in online systems such as book, movie or friend recommendation. Current recommendation systems have problems with cold start and new entry. Cyber-Anima is a cyber-image of a user's anima, and we can derive one's cyber-anima by its user input and other observations of the user. With Cyber-Anima, we can build a recommendation...
With the exploding of Internet information, semantic technologies are proposed to help people find what they want. Semantic search requires domain-oriented ontology and user-defined workflow to process online data. Mostly, semantic search are focus on user query optimization. The semantic of online data is usually considered less than the domain ontology to processing query, and the search targets...
Due to its uniqueness and high value in commercial side, logos and trademarks play a key role in e-business based global marketing. Detecting misused and faked logos need designated and accurate image processing and retrieval techniques. However, existing colour and shape based retrieval techniques, which are mainly designed for natural images, cannot provide effective retrieval of logo images. In...
E-commerce innovations have to break through a four-phase process before adopted by industry. To improve the comprehensiveness and extensibility for innovation supporting, this paper proposes a service-oriented innovation support system which covers all phases of the innovation process, customizes for most kinds of E-commerce innovations and provides an AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and entropy...
Making use of IT technologies, various intelligent healthcare systems are designed which facilitate disease diagnosis, health maintenance and real-time monitoring. To detect and prevent the disease intelligently, user modelling of these system focuses on medical-related user data. However a communication gap between patients and doctors is still so large that yielding amounts of medical complains...
Online market brings a wealth of information to consumers. However, online market is also flooded with fake and shoddy products. Trustworthiness is a solution to solve these problems which is raised by the authors' laboratory. The model of trustworthiness evaluates the product in three dimensions, which is authenticity, reliability and credibility. But the data to analyse of trustworthiness evaluation...
This paper presents a development environment for rapid development of multi-touch sand table applications. The environment is built on a sophisticated business logic model, and with an extended MVC software development framework. The development framework is consisted of multi-touch control layer, business logic layer and dynamic GUI layer, which support efficient collaborative development. The development...
Authors developed a trusted ecommerce data service as a public infrastructure. Ecommerce trading participants, commodities and their makers are to register the specified information to the data service. Both ecommerce players and consumers can get trusted commodity description through the data service. To provide users with a precise trustworthiness of the registered information, this article proposed...
This article proposes a tracking service to provide a facility to trace and compose the RFID-based services, and report the data and status of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) across their product lifecycle. Several issues of the tracking service are discussed and a CloudExplorer-based solution is designed to implement the WEEE tracking service. Among of them are (i) Techniques of...
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in user modeling, because of its extremely wide usage in real world applications, such as recommendation systems and personalized services. However, a large number of researchers have been devoted to focusing on developing a user model that can only facilitate their own applications, which has limited the rapid advances in user modeling research,...
A user-centered cloud browser, i.e., Cloud Explorer, is proposed to discover, process and execute emerging cloud services, as Web browsers are used to search and display Web information. Cloud Explorer is the first attempt for end users to explore cloud services to meet with users' behaviors and concerns in the coming cloud society. The browser is devoted to end users and has made great differences...
Based on authors' previous work on a travel hub and semantic recommender, a mobile travel service recommender is proposed in this article, to discover and recommend composite travel services though mobile terminals. Among the recommender's features are (i) using OWL-based user semantics to discover travel services, (ii) searching travel Web services both from predefined resources and from UDDI-supported...
Designing an effective and efficient intelligent interactive system for energy conservation in domestic environment requires considerable deliberations on tradeoffs of meeting the criteria derived from human-machine interaction and reasoning mechanism, so the system can provide the users with right information based on right decisions at right time. In this paper, we report a mixed initiative intelligent...
The proposed online intelligence (OI) is to provide popular and well-formatted reports for direct decision support based on online data. Completeness, preciseness, conciseness and smartness are proposed as the basic technical indicators to evaluate an OI application. OI requires similar data processing flow and reporting tools with traditional business intelligence (BI). However, OI collects data...
