This research is based on the Resource-Based Theory and Expectation-Confirmation Theory to examine the factors affecting on Blog dependence using 639 college students as samples. As expected, the results of structural equation model showed that value, rare and imitate have a positive effect on service utility, separately. Information exposure has a positive influence on trust. Trust and service utility...
This paper analyzes the current situation of the catering industry in the information technology in China, demonstrates of the current “Wireless Ordering System” in the lack of information technology services, proposes the “mobile catering systems” solution in use of both Web Services and Mobile Internet technologies, and deeply discusses the core idea, the overall architecture and implementation...
Biodiversity conservations are often comprehensive, dynamic and complex problem that require professionals to work in teams while dealing with large and decentralized of project areas. However, the varieties of scattered thematic geospatial information can not be used directly and effectively by users - it impedes rather facilitates collaboration, and increases the project cost. To solve this problems,...
In this paper we describe the design and implementation details of a mobile application supporting news access and virtual community interactive services, based on open technologies such as Java programming language, Java Mobile Edition (Java ME) libraries, MySQL database and an open Web server. The goal was to create an easy to use, mobile, interactive, flexible and extensible client-server solution,...
With the development of Internet, basic information services can no longer fulfill some customers' requests, which requires information service brokers to provide value-added services to improve their information service quality. Based on the web service architecture, this paper constructs a value-added service model of mining right information from the perspective of information value-adding, and...
With the increasing numbers of Web services and service users on World Wide Web, predicting QoS (Quality of Service) for users will greatly aid service selection and discovery. Due to the different backgrounds and experiences of users, they have different QoS experiences when interacting with the same service. Even two users who have similar experiences on some services can have diverging views when...

Cloud computing has attracted more and more attentions due to its ability to deliver computing utilities as Internet services. Many industrial companies have successfully applied their Clouds with different technologies and architectures. But the existing Clouds are all computer-based and designed for Web browser. In this paper we propose a Cloud architecture which is based on digital appliances in...
This report investigates whether a vulnerability found in one web framework may be used to find a vulnerability in a different web framework. To test this hypothesis, several open source applications were installed in a secure test environment together with security analysis tools. Each one of the applications were developed using a different software framework. The results show that a vulnerability...
Automatic face indexing is a promising technique for personalized IPTV applications. This paper proposes a novel framework that makes use of an STB's Internet connection in order to realize face indexing for a personal media library. In particular, given a drama or movie title, actor names are first retrieved from a drama or movie information web service. The obtained actor names are subsequently...

Database-driven Web applications have become the norm, especially in service-oriented applications. As network bandwidth has increased the bottleneck in Web application survivability has moved to the server and application level. With social bookmarking sites increasing in popularity, flash crowds are becoming more prevalent leading to higher than expected request loads. In this paper we describe...
This paper presents a study on how we can support knowledge creation - especially a process called comprehension - in a Web 2.0 environment by providing new functionalities to users of existing Web services. The contribution of this paper is twofold. Firstly, a framework for providing new functionalities is presented. Secondly, a prototype Web service is implemented and evaluated. The prototype uses...
With a growing number of services, a greater demand on end-user time and falling average revenues per user, context sensitive applications can provide the needed enhanced experiences. The question arises as to whether such context sensitive experiences can be delivered while simultaneously addressing the apparently conflicting demand of end-user privacy. To put the problem in perspective a framework...
In the context of this paper, a meta-search third-party Web result ranking mechanism is proposed, which is capable of adapting over the continuous changes that occur on the Web, providing in parallel personalized information acquisition considering the user's navigation behaviour. The designed meta search engine service rates, re-organises and combines the results acquired from search services for...
