This change requires a security duty separation in cloud computing. Cloud service providers (CSP) should secure the services they offer and cannot exceed the customers' authorities. Currently, no traditional information security...
Users always expect to acquire high quality services from online banking. Previous studies have found that website system quality is a main factor determining online users' initial adoption and usage. For their continuance usage, service quality may be a main determinant. This research proposes that online banking service quality, reputation and security influence users' continuance usage through...
Website quality is crucial for acquiring user satisfaction and e-commerce website success. Based on TAM and information system success model, we analyze the effect of website quality on user satisfaction. Website quality includes three dimensions: system quality, information quality and service quality. These dimensions affect user satisfaction through perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and...
Due to perceived high risk in the first transaction and Internet low switching cost, building consumer initial trust is crucial for online vendors. Extant research has often examined determinants of initial trust from the perspectives of TAM and trust transference, and seldom considered the initial trust building from dual-routes. Drawing on ELM, we analyzed the different effect of argument quality...
Vertical search engines use focused crawlers as their key component and develop some specific algorithms to select Web pages relevant to some pre-defined set of topics. Therefore, how to effectively build up a semantic pattern for specific topics is extremely important to such search engines. In this paper we propose an UBFC (URL rule based focused crawler) algorithm based on a double-crawler framework...

Applied the embedded Web technology in the field of equipment condition monitoring, the equipment remote monitoring system is designed based on embedded Web. Firstly, the function and structure of the system are designed. Based on ARM9 technology, the hardware part of system is designed...
In this paper, we present an empirical study on the scaling behaviors of traffic in computer communication networks. It is shown that the data shipped by the web server have a symmetry heavy-tailed distribution, with the corresponding cumulative distributions of both negative and positive tails can be well fitted by a Levy regime or an extendedly asymptotic power-law form. We investigate the long-range...
