This paper propose and test a model of how inter-firm network effect firmpsilas absorptive capacity in a dynamic operating environment. Using data of manufacturing firms, the results indicate that the intensity of network has a positive impact on potential absorptive capacity, and the intensity of weak tie network are more important; the scale of weak tiespsila network has a positive impact on potential...
Software process improvement (SPI) is a means to change software organizationpsilas processes to better meet the business objectives. Process assessments reveal opportunities for process improvements. An assessment typically utilizes a model, which includes a set of good practices as assessment indicators. The potential for improvements is derived by comparing the indicators with the actual processes.
Digital Earth (DE) is a virtual presentation of the planet based on geographic coordinate, and is an information system with tremendous amount of multiple resolutions and multiple scales data as shown in multiple dimensions. It can visualize the real earth and represent historical phenomena in digital way by using the large amount of data of the earth, and utilizing the computer techniques, image...
Modern business process modeling languages such as BPMN or EPC provide users with more constructs to represent real world situations than their predecessors such as IDEF or Petri Nets. But this apparent increase in expressiveness is accompanied by an increase in language complexity. In practice many organizations choose to only use a subset of the available modeling constructs. Using a well established...
The Open Distributed Processing Reference Model (ODP-RM) provides viewpoints and abstract infrastructure guidelines that can be used for a basis for enterprise architecture, especially for an inter-enterprise architecture. The ODP-RM does not prescribe methodology for modeling itself, but provides common vocabulary and focus for description. This paper performs a brief analysis of the ODP-RM (and...
An important issue to the adoption of any enterprise architectural approach is the availability of tools to support the development, storage, presentation, analysis, improvement and evolution of enterprise architecture representations. As with enterprise architecture methodologies, enterprise architecture tools to support the architectural development process are still emerging. Most important software...
Information privacy typically concerns the confidentiality of personal identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) such as electronic medical records. Thus, the information access control mechanism for e-health services must be embedded with privacy-enhancing technologies. Role-based access control (RBAC) model has been widely investigated and applied to various applications...
