Sample size has a two-fold role in research: sample size is inter-connected with statistical analysis of the data and generalization. Therefore, sample size has attracted a lot of research efforts in all the research fields including educational research on E-Business application. However, little attention has been given to a framework for selecting sample size in educational research on E-Business...
We deal with the problem of using user behavior for business relevant analytic task processing. We describe our acquaintance with preference learning from behavior data from an e-shop. Based on our experience and problems we propose a model for collecting (java script tracking) and processing user behavior data. We present several results of offline experiments on real production data. We show that...
The tourism industry has been becoming the main business in Japan. In tourism industry, public relations from tourist areas is important to attract tourists, however, it has not been sufficiently performed in Japanese tourism industry. It is also common knowledge that tourism information systems with ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) are effective for such the activities. Therefore,...
Enterprise architecture for smart cities is the focus of the research project “EADIC - (Developing an Enterprise Architecture for Digital Cities)” which is the context of the reported results in this work. We report in detail the results of a survey we contacted. Using these results we identify important quality and functional requirements for smart cities. Important quality properties include interoperability,...
We present here the development of an Open Source Geographic Information System (OSGIS) tool using MapWindow GIS and petrel software to prove its efficiency for different applications. Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically all types of data. MapWindow is free of charge, extensible geographic information system...
The evolution of mobile technologies, and the enormous increase of users have also consolidated location related services as an inherent part of the mobile service landscape. The possibilities to detect one's whereabouts and relate them to any kind of networked information offer benefits for users and various kinds of businesses. However, LBS also present issues, harmful particularly to users' privacy...
Business processes of large companies often lack the flexibility of their smaller competitors.

We identify the major building blocks of games and outline how enterprises and NGOs apply these principles in real world scenarios.
Recently, user interface mashups have become a popular approach for covering the long tail of end-user needs. The simple composition paradigm and rich tool support aim at enabling even non-programmers to aggregate data and application logic to solve situational business tasks. Despite of existing assistance mechanisms, both development and usage of UI mashups remain mostly a single-user activity....
In this paper we deal with the Internet Shopping Optimization Problem. An extended model that includes price sensitive discounts is considered. A set of algorithms to solve the Internet Shopping Optimization Problem with Price Sensitivity Discounts (ISOPwD) is introduced. The algorithms are designed to consider a different solution quality regarding computational time and results close to the optimum...
