This article describes the expert strategic approach for obtaining the strategic information from the auction system. It discusses the basic problem such as identification of the auctions and here it concerns the items set to sale on the auction system. The expert rules are compiled and dynamically adjusted on basis of the defined parameters, keywords, price range and tracking of historical price...
Current e-learning systems are primarily resource oriented, rather than cognition oriented. To reduce learners' cognitive overload in e-learning, we proposed a novel e-learning system Yotta tackling the problem of knowledge acquisition, knowledge presentation, and knowledge resources management. The granularity for knowledge acquisition in Yotta is based on knowledge units that are the smallest integral...
Cloud computing often uses the multi-tenancy architecture where tenants share system software. To support dynamically increasing demands from multi-tenants, the cloud service providers have to duplicate computing resources to cope with the fluctuation of requests from tenants. This is currently handled by virtualization and duplication at the application level in the existing cloud environment, such...
Usability of the e-government portal is a crucial factor that should be considered for improving efficiency in services to citizens. In this study a factorial design model is provided as a guideline in developing e-government portal. The quality of portals' usability lies on identifying user requirements and evaluation techniques. By designing an experiment crucial factors are identified and based...
IM (Instant Messenger) offers real-time interactivity between two or more geographically dispersed parties through the exchange of text or multimedia messages. In IM conversations, people feel emancipated to express their ideas or views. However, such a free and casual style of dialogue could form dissimilar views and may even cause confusions among individuals, making it unsuitable to be used in...
In response to the governmental policy of saving energy sources and reducing CO2, and carry out the resident quality of local; this paper proposes a new method for a non-intrusive energy management (NIEM) system in smart home to implement the load identification of electric equipments and establish the electric demand management. Non-intrusive energy management techniques were often based on power...
Machine persistent connections. Evolving towards mobile and wireless pervasive networks, Internet has to entertain dynamic, transient, and changing interconnections. The vision of the Internet of Things furthers technology development by creating interactive environment where smart objects are connected and can sense and react to the environment. The resulted event flooding in such IOT environment...
A mobile device such as Android device is emerging as a convenient client computing device with mobility and context-sensing capability. However, the computing power and hardware resource of the devices are limited due to the small form-factor. Consequently, large-scaled applications could not be deployed on these devices. To remedy the limitations, it is desirable to deploy some heavy-weight functionality...
Workflow management systems are widely adopted for implementing business processes. Archival workflow is a precise representation of the archival process, reflecting the formal coordination mechanisms between archival activities and manual processes with respect to the specific requirements of the local governing body. Understanding key performance indicators of archival processes is considered as...
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a modern methodology for developing software. In a short period of time, SOA is being adopted by many companies because of the extensive advantages it guarantees. Service governance plays a vital role in determining the success and failure of a SOA project. Service governance can be defined as the process which governs the mechanisms applied in SOA. It is a vast...
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects physical world to the cyber-world, which may impose predicable and unpredictable changes to enterprise business models and our everyday life. In this paper, we propose a model to describe the impact of IoT on the material, information and capital flow as well as carbon footprint through the supply chain, and further support the model with possible business scenarios...
