A polygon approximation based approach is proposed to improve the query efficiency in querying spatial data in digital achieving system. Although the query efficiency can be increased if the number of sides of n-sided polygon decreases, the search precision can be reduced accordingly. Thus, in the proposed approach, the query efficiency and search precision can be well controlled according to the...
Coffee is Rwanda's main source of income, thus improving processing and monitoring has a large potential economical impact, we are introducing low-cost sensor Technology, by utilizing embedded system to monitor coffee washing station processing method and store centers, the system will be reporting the status of PH, moisture, temperature and humidity as basic information to keep the standard quality...
Ideological and political education at higher-education institutions (HEIs) face new challenges. To cope with the development requirements of the contemporary era, it is of vital practical significance to introduce the “cooperative education” concept into the ideological and political education at HEIs and establish “cooperative education” mechanisms. These moves are expected to help resolve the conspicuous...
Intellectual property is inextricably linked to the innovative development of mass innovation spaces. The synthetic development of intellectual property and mass innovation spaces will fundamentally support the new economic model of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation”. As such, it is critical to explore intellectual property service standards for mass innovation spaces and to steer mass innovation...
The current information age has witnessed massive increase in the number of web based documents and services. Due to this explosive growth of online content, automated search engine programs are used to search and categorize billions of webpages and show only the most relevant pages for the search query submitted by the user. Search engines employ combination of automated algorithms, manually edited...
With the development of data science, the market of data also plays a significant role in the data mining domain gradually. This paper focus on how to use a visualization method based on contour map to seek the relationship between Data Jackets in order to create an innovative chance for data transaction. The analysis of results by questionnaires can illustrate the feasibility of this visualization...
An important aspect in providing Internet access is the cost for both fronthaul as well as backhaul connectivity, ultimately providing the access to the wider Internet content and services to the local community. The proliferation of media-rich content has led to a dramatic increase of backhaul costs, while creating pinching points in the often also limited fronthaul network that faces the end users...
The field of strategic technology management contains a number of practical tools to help align technology investment with business objectives and so support successful innovation. However the application of such tools is often seen by organizations as being difficult to configure, combine and also resource consuming to deploy. Thus, the research question is: can a light-weighted intuitive approach...
This paper refers to the term “implementation” as the process of integrating a new technology into established workfows. Especially in health care this has proven to be a very critical phase and many large-scale projects have failed on this very last mile. Although strategies such as requirements engineering, co-designing and user interaction design have been proposed to reduce the risk of end-user...
We develop a model of how a start-up firm's networking for innovation is embedded in the personal network around the entrepreneur. Using data from the Global Entrepreneurships Monitor including 11,792 start-ups from 38 countries surveyed in 2012–13, we examine how entrepreneurs' networking in private and public spheres is impacting (1) innovation (2) firms' collaborative networking, and (3) the effectiveness...
Content industries go through a demanding time adjusting to the digital age, revamping their business processes when sales of paper documents are not an option any more. Formal standardisation is facing the same challenges as organisations like ISO and CEN see sales of publications as their core business. This paper presents a case study from European pre-standardisation. CEN Workshop on Learning...
The usability of Web sites and online services is of rising importance. When creating a completely new Web site, qualitative data are adequate for identifying the most usability problems. However, changes of an existing Web site should be evaluated by a quantitative benchmarking process. The proposed paper describes the creation of a questionnaire that allows a quantitative usability benchmarking,...
Recently, Lee et al. proposed a remote authentication model of information appliances (RAMIA). Unfortunately, RAMIA has a fatal error that opens the entire home network of information appliances to hackers. In this paper, we propose a new secure remote control model for information appliances (SRCMIA) to fix this error. Besides, our model can also achieve both message authentication and one-time secret...
As digital resources increasingly growing and the economic benefit of digital intellectual property rights being increasingly important, people has been increasingly emphasis on information security issues brought by the data remnants in storage devices. They try their best to prevent the potential risks. In this paper, we survey comprehensively related technologies, standards and trends of erasure,...
This paper presents some of the lessons that we have learned during our involvement with the development of learning technology standards. We believe that the decision to develop a new standards is sometimes taken too quickly and that, when possible, existing generic standards should be profiled for the domain of learning. At this point in time, the development of tools, technologies and methodologies...
This is an introduction to the proceedings of the MWS 2007 workshop held at EDOC 2007. It first explains the motivation for and background of the workshop. Then, it contains a short description of the keynote, each long and short peer-reviewed paper, and the discussion session "impact of various execution environments on middleware for web services". After the closing statements, MWS 2007...
Energy is the bedrock of our daily lives and industry. Now is the time that industry, government and academia must join together and examine highly independent, fully environmentally considerate and rational energy systems. In this presentation, recent Japanese policy will be introduced focusing on new national energy strategy. Looking at future technology trends, it is probable that, in the case...
