Cyberization, as a new big trend following computerization and informatization, is the process of forming a new cyberworld and transforming our current physical, social and mental worlds into novel cyber-combined worlds. Cyber science, responding to the cyberization trend, aims to create a new collection of knowledge about these cyber-enabled worlds, and provide a way of discovering what is in the...
With the popularity of Web 2.0, social networks have become an important channel for people to keep in contact. It is common to have hundreds of friends for a user on Face book. Thus it is quite difficult for the user to keep track on all friends¡¦ emotion and to express his/her care to them in a timely manner, which we think is essential in keeping the friendship. The Wall on Face book includes a...
The purpose of this study was to apply the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) model to identify the factors influencing Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) from the consumers' viewpoint, and to investigate the impact of each extended TAM element on EBPP in Taiwan. Data were collected from questionnaire; the questions of questionnaire were drawn from the extended Technology Acceptance...
The purpose of this research is to design and implement an intelligent prediction system for manufacturing quality. 12 manufacturing factors are chosen from four categories of MEPH (Material/Equipment/Product/Human), through the sampling, features extraction, or features conversion system to present features of manufacturing system in this research. Then, we take quality samples composing by 12 features...
This paper presents a self-guided tour system that allows a visitor to instantly share his/her notes or remarks about exhibits with others through the Internet. The note/remark not only can be stored with the exhibit information to be accessed by other visitors, but also can be broadcasted through microblogging in a timely manner. This provides an interaction mechanism for the visitor to feedback...
This paper presents a novel image steganographic method that utilizes support vector regression (SVR) to predict the embedded pixel value such that secret data is also embedded into the pixel-value difference between the predicted pixel value and the original pixel value. Due to the significant learning ability in the correlations of training samples by support vector regression, the trained SVR function...
In this paper, a novel lossless data hiding scheme is presented to exhibit high data-hiding capacity for color palette images. In the proposed method, each index value is predicted by using the average of its four precedent neighbors. If the difference between the index value and its predictive value is larger than a threshold, the pixel will be skipped. Otherwise the four precedent neighbors are...
Many people love traveling for entertainment nowadays. In a journey, visitors often produce digital multimedia resources by capturing images, audios and videos. With digital devices like cameras, travel notes are not limited to texts, multimedia resources are also used for decorating records in a journey. In this paper, an intelligent travel note application is proposed to save time for creating travel...
Web applications are becoming increasingly complex and important for companies. Their development, including analysis, design, and testing, needs to be approached by means of support tools. There are some tools provided to support analysis and design. However, few tools are provided to directly support the software testing on Web-based applications. In this paper, a software tool, named WASATT (Web...
