The Biopolis takes a radical approach to the long term preservation of digital user content. The system will allow Biopolis enriched User Content to be distributed and redistributed through a network of commercial and non-commercial file (Preservation Services), while ensuring a lasting relationship, between the holder and the owner of the intellectual content. Based on web and mobile technologies...
Different types of graph models for network community information-resource potential modeling are considered. Both the agent structure and the information structure of the network community are described. Hypotheses of the influence spread on the basis of the graph models are put forward. Dynamic behavior of the network community is described.
A Pan-terminal Video Conference System is a system that sounds, images, text and other information can sent from one place to another communication system by multi devices or terminals through internet and mobile network. The Pan-terminal Video Conferencing System, combined with computer and mobile communication technology, can transmit video, sound, image, text and other information of high quality...
A cognitive framework and a concrete methodology for integrating real-time groupware (Power Meeting) into an asynchronous learning support system (Blackboard) has been presented. User studies on such integrated systems have shown that such integration grounds synchronous collaboration in a asynchronous collaboration context and provides a smooth moving from asynchronous collaboration workspace into...
Enterprise asset management is a system which manages all kinds of reusable resources in an enterprise no matter what departments or business units produce. The efficiency and effectiveness of asset management will significantly impact on development cost and enterprise competiveness. In this paper, we address several challenges including lacking of asset description model, non-solution reuse pattern...
In contrast with many centralised schemes P2P systems are flexible, scalable and highly dynamic. They offer a useful distributed platform despite concerns over security. This work is motivated by the need to address explicitly the main issues that arise in the deployment of P2P systems in a business environment. A systematic approach is proposed in the development of a secure and trusted system to...
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry is faced with a wide range of consumers, high frequency of consuming, quick change of demands, low loyalty, and high demand for convenience. Those characteristics determine sales demands as the largest uncertainty. To facilitate this situation, companies in FMCG require subjectivity-free and accurate sales forecasts. Many quantitative time-series models are...
The amount of data available greatly increases every year and information can be quite valuable in the right hands. The existing mechanisms for selling goods, such as VCG, cannot handle sharable goods, such as information. To alleviate this limitation we present our preliminary work on mechanisms for selling goods that can be shared or copied. We present and analyze efficient incentive compatible...
In line with the progress of artificial intelligence, electronic negotiation theory has developed a great variety of promising negotiation models. These models have been evaluated in several ways. Besides formal evaluation, which could prove a lot of optimality properties, some researchers have already examined the user acceptance of these models. However, there are no studies that compare different...
Large data centers are usually built to support the enormous computation and storage capability of Cloud Computing which has attracted people's attention nowadays. However, such large scale data centers generally consume an enormous amount of energy, which not only increases the running cost but also simultaneously enhances their greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing this issue, Virtualization technology...
AEMOS is an agent mediated e-commerce platform, which provides ontology-based services enabling a meaningful communication between agents, even when they use different ontologies. This system also includes a support component based on emergent social networks, which allows improving the system's performance by enhancing the ontology-based services. In this paper, our goal is to improve the system's...
e-Business organizations must frequently face changes in their systems to stay competitive. However, it is not guaranteed the new systems will be acceptable for the workers. The EBTAM model is proposed in this paper as a way to study acceptance before actual deployment of a new system. This model takes into account other models reported in the literature, but it is essentially oriented towards small...
One of key challenges in business integration is that it involves variety of multiple programming models, which include business process automation, business activity monitoring, service mediation, and others. Different kinds of runtimes have been developed in support of these programming models. However, taking a step back one realizes that at their core all of these runtimes implement the same kind...
As more and more organisations move from on-premise to on-demand software solutions in order to minimise overhead costs, the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) providers begin to offer their well-established best business processes as cloud based IT solutions. As a result, ERP software previously reserved for large organisations mainly due to heavy costs associated with the initial purchase of the...
Testing is an essential phase of project management as it ensures the quality of a product. However, testing does not get the required attention in industrial projects from project managers. Due to this, the maintenance cost of projects takes more than one-third part of the project budget. One of the major reasons is that test management frameworks are overly complex and time consuming. In this paper,...
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...
In a service-oriented system, an accurate assessment of reputation is essential for selecting between alternative providers. In many cases, providers have differing characteristics that must be considered alongside reliability, including their cost, experience, quality, and use of sub-providers, etc. Existing methods for reputation assessment are limited in terms of the extent to which the full interaction...
Modern mobile devices are usually equipped with advanced sensor network technology that can be used to perceive our ambient environment. In this paper we propose a novel event-driven mobile system architecture that combines mobile computing, sensor data of a mobile device and complex event processing. Data of embedded sensors and personal context data of modern smartphones are processed directly on...
Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model are used widely in construction to increase communication and team efficiencies while working toward a building construction management. This research presents a semantic reasoning framework using expert system development program language JESS for reasoning under specific ontology. This paper describes the structure...
In this research, a technical platform has been proposed to modify the traditional algorithms by two new forecast algorithms for green supply chain management (GSCM). This platform also designed a dynamic predicting controller to improve the forecast efficiency of GSCM. This grey genetic algorithm (GGA) controller can optimize the parameters of adaptive exponential grey models (AEGM) to find the better...
