Online shopping stores are a new hype in Jordan, and consumers are still not used to buying products online without touching and testing these products, they are also not used to paying online. The intention to buy online is affected by both technology factors and socio-cultural factors specifically trust.
Augmented reality has the potential to provide powerful, contextual, and situated learning experiences for medical students. There are need learning theories to guide the design of AR in health education to bring out the potentials. The objectives of this paper is to present the learning theories which could be supported AR in health education. We propose use situation learning, experiential learning;...
In our work we investigate the relationship between semantic textual similarity and credibility of the individual sentence. For this purpose we performed an experiment to create a corpus of sentences with known credibility value. Then we calculated semantic similarity of each pair of sentences and tried to assess the credibility of a sentence using similar one. Performing comparison, we use idea to...
At the time when we are debating the Internet as a human right, an access to basic online information is a challenge for blind and visually impaired community. Steps taken for their digital inclusion, such as, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are often insufficient. In this paper we present initial requirements gathered during three workshops organized with various stakeholders coming...
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to transform our daily lives and societies. This is, at least in part, due to its massively distributed and ubiquitous nature. To realize the benefits of the IoT, security and privacy issues associated with the use of the IoT need to be identified and addressed properly. In this paper, our focus is on protecting the privacy of the users of location-based...
Dataflow network is a concise well-understood and well-matching approach for building applications in Internet of Things (IoT) world, where a task of obtaining meaningful results in time strongly depends on efficiency of orchestration of dataflows. Processing units transform incoming signals into intermediate data suitable for further processing and analysis by using certain rules, which are further...
Lately, software ecosystems have generated a lot of attention as they are very important to modern software industry. Over the course of several research projects, we addressed the problem of variability-rich software ecosystems and their relation to software product lines in our research group. This paper summarizes some of the problems we identified and describes some solutions we created both on...
Optimisation of resource selection in hybrid cloud data centres depends on the control of resource usage. The primary criterion for this resource selection is economic efficiency. The presented approach considers operational efficiency aspects in service providing and therefore focuses on technical criteria, such as resource load, as well as economic criteria, such as the costs of resource usage....
The user review on a web topic is particular useful information. These reviews usually concern such sentiment or opinions as positive, negative or mixed mood which will affect other users' behaviors, psychological and cognitive activities. Classical web sentiment analysis system could not reach the real-time demand. The functions of online web sentiment analysis system are campus network net flow...
In a dynamic and heterogeneous world as the Web, the need often arises to update XML data, as well as their structures, to adhere to new domain requirements. Updates may break compliance of data to schemas, and updates at schema level may in addition require to adapt associated documents to the new schema. Moreover, emerging application contexts in which updates come from different sources, such as...
In recent years, complicated network applications have greatly developed in all areas. At present, the CPS brings many opportunities to the researchers of complex network. The biggest characteristic of CPS is that it's intelligence network with communication and computation and decisions equipment. For example, the electricity system is a complex network energetic. The process is assembling the complex...
This paper introduces normalized Google distance into the study of word sense disambiguation and presents a novel unsupervised method of word sense disambiguation. The normalized Google distance is a theory of similarity between words and phrases, based on information distance and Kolmogorov complexity by using the world-wide-web as database, with its page counts derived from a search engine such...
The web page in network communication were partitioned to Hub web page and Authority web page. Simplifying the H-A web page set was more researched by making abstract method in this paper. Existing condition of the regular abstract was deeply researched and discussed, and the solution to the regular abstraction was given too. So simplifying the huge web page concept lattice about network communication...
Most software systems developed nowadays are highly complex and subject to strict time constraints, and are often deployed with critical software faults. In many cases, software faults are responsible for security vulnerabilities which are exploited by hackers. Automatic web vulnerability scanners can help to locate these vulnerabilities. Trustworthiness of the results that these tools provide is...
The Virtual Museum of the Pacific was developed by the authors and launched by the Australian Museum in November 2009. A digital ecosystem implemented as Web 2.0 application, the VMP is an experimental platform with information and knowledge acquisition for the Australian Museum's Pacific collection. Importantly, the VMP facilitates a number of social media interfaces that enable content to be added...
This paper presents investigations on formal and informal requirements for personal learning environments taking into account students' personal and social learning practices. The potential of global Web 2.0 educational service bundles and informal learning communities, as well as their recommendation by educators are addressed. A scenario showing how these new paradigms can be integrated in engineering...
We report on the use of a Google Earth virtual tour to place a series of landscape drawings into their spatial context. The tour was designed to complement an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Edward Lear which ran from July to October 2009 at the Wordsworth Trust, Grasmere, Cumbria, UK. We describe the technical aspects of the creation of the tour, experiences of its use during the exhibition,...
Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is the task of selecting the meaning of a word based on the context in which the word occurs. The principal statistical WSD approaches are supervised and unsupervised learning. The Lesk method is an example of unsupervised disambiguation. We present a measure for sense assignment useful for the simple Lesk algorithm. We use word co-occurrences of the gloss and the context,...
This paper outlines a project aimed at addressing the issue of the scalability of online academic support. This project is being run during the Autumn semester at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) Toowoomba Australia, in conjunction with the Australian Digital Futures Institute. The study attached to the project will use Design-Based Research to evaluate the effectiveness of a simple, but...
