The aim of this paper is to introduce the mini-track on Electronic Government Education organized as part of the Electronic Government Track at the 47th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-47).
There are variety of tourism products and services, However tourism information is lack of consistency, not updated, and may not suitable to each traveler. As a result, the provided information. Moreover, each travel plan creates many complications such as travel route, travel planning, time and resting place. All of these factors cause the complication of traveling, even for the traveler who has...
By means of qualitative research methods, this study investigated the factors of negative experiences at different times regarding family trip destinations to explore the tourism experiences and the factors affecting negative experiences among family members. This study further probed the experiences of family members generated by tourism factories, thereby establishing a conceptual model regarding...
This paper presents a risk constrained economic dispatch model incorporating both the wind power and units' forced outage. The operation cost objective includes the costs of generation, spinning reserve, load shedding and wind spillage and the risk index is chosen as the expected load not served. A test system is adopted for illustration. The simulation results show that to decrease the cost (risk)...
Determining the arithmetic operations of fuzzy numbers is a very important issue in fuzzy sets theory, decision process, data analysis, and applications. In 1985, Chen formulated the arithmetic operations between generalized fuzzy numbers by proposing the function principle. Since then, researchers have shown an increased interest in generalized fuzzy numbers. Most of existing studies done using generalized...
In paper[1], Yang proposed a dynamic auction algorithm under price rigidities for item allocation. The problem under consideration is a very difficult one in the sense that it is NP-Complete. The algorithm is based on a specific allocation rule and a rationing system of Rn. In this paper, we discuss a practical implementation of the algorithm and present a computer program using binary operations...
Components in complex systems are intricately interconnected with each other. When design changes are needed in terms of sustainability, it is necessary to understand how change propagates and affects other systems. Therefore, the objective of this paper describes how to define the cause of a sustainable design change and the effect of change propagation by utilizing Change Propagation Analysis (CPA)...
Gradate and Higher Education sector is witnessing increase proliferation of education\campus management software for handling and management of all the data pertaining to the students, right from admissions to final graduation. Traditionally all these data was maintained using manual record\logs and the same was used as supporting documents for ISO and other quality audits\certifications. This transition...
In recent years, the U.S. has seen a dramatic decline in its standing among first world countries in STEM performance. The U.S. currently stands at risk of missing out on the untapped human capital in sub-Saharan Africa. Countries like China, India, and Brazil are making sizeable infrastructural, technological and scientific investments there. Targeting students at an earlier stage in the STEM education...
In this paper, we present a new piecewise constant model to represent time-varying systematic risk, i.e., beta. We develop a new tracking algorithm for the new model based on modified Kalman filter that uses Bayes' criteria. Empirical results show the superiority of our method over traditional random walk, mean reverting and moving window beta estimates.
This paper proposes a new approach to conduct simulation study of housing market within a mono-centric urban land use framework. In particular, to investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics of housing market, a (preemptive) queuing system with priority to search is designed to simulate the population flow. All housing units within the market are differentiated by its location (defined by its distance...
Social networking has changed human life style in the recent era. The impact of use of social networking has not only resulted in globalization but has influenced many other vital factors of human performance This study aimed at exploring impact of Facebook usage intensity on academic grades of the private university students. It was hypothesized that there will be a significant impact of Facebook...
Studies in social science and social computing have revealed that group dynamics plays an important role in group performance. Face-to-face interaction among group members has been regarded as one of the major determinants of performance in various business fields. However, the relationship between inter-child interaction in the school environment and their scholastic performance is unknown. An experiment...
Modeling & Simulation (M&S) studies have been widely used in industry to gain insights into existing or proposed systems of interest. The majority of these studies focus on productivity-related measures to evaluate system' performance. However, this predominant focus on productivity may need to change since sustainability has become an increasingly important consideration in managerial discourse...
This paper took the college graduates as the research object in order to find the relationship between the psychological contract and turnover intention. The result revealed that the psychological contract consisted of economic motivation, contextual supports and development opportunity, contextual supports had remarkable inverse correlation with employees' loyalty, economic motivation showed highly...
Micro and Small Enterprises' (MSEs) cluster is a group of small firms operating in a defined geographic location, producing similar products or services, cooperating and competing with one another, learning from each other to solve internal problems, setting common strategies to overcome external challenges, and reaching distance markets through developed networks. During recent years, identifying...
In this study, some valuation models that the most commonly applied to assess the value of intangible assets are reviewed. In the process of review, we highlight the key advantages and disadvantages of these models. Then a novel intangible asset valuation model is proposed which can integrate the strengths and overcome the weaknesses of income-based valuation model and cost-based valuation model....
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the important driving forces for the growth of China's economy. However, financing difficulty has always been the important problem besetting the development of SMEs for a long time. In this paper, based on micro-data from 2007 China Industrial Enterprise Database, Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method is adopted to conduct empirical analysis of indirect...
