The purpose of this study is to explore students' perceived information security and privacy (IS&P) threats and to classify them in a way that helps in analyzing the problem, creating awareness measures and further improving students' IS&P education. Using a qualitative research approach, a group of forty two Master's degree IT students identified seventy five IS&P threats related to them...
A proposed approach supports the continual construction and evolution of model-based Internetware artifacts by a collective of Internet-connected stakeholders. The key mechanism is incremental graph superimposition (IGS), a refinement of stigmergy, the process that produces collective intelligence in social insects. Employing IGS, a collective of individuals collaboratively and continually construct...
Managing Technology effectively and competitively in a fast-moving globalised world has become an increasingly challenging endeavour. Design, Information and Action (DIA) as defined by the authors have been found to be key aspects which significantly influence the degree of innovation, competitiveness and business leadership achievable. A technology management model was developed on the basis of these...
One of the major steps for opinion mining is to extract product features. The vast majority of existing approaches focus on explicit feature identification, few attempts have been made to identify implicit features in reviews, however; people tend to express their opinions with simple structures and brachylogies, which lead to more implicit features in reviews. By analyzing the characteristics of...
Being transmitted as part of numerous Internet services, geo location data is increasingly bringing hints of people's real-world activities into Internet traffic. This paper focuses on the discovery of key properties that motivate personal activities - locational interests. We propose and design GeoEcho, a mobile traffic analysis system that extracts and analyses a wealth of latitude-longitude geotag...
In the era of computer and communication technologies, fostering students' high-level thinking abilities has become an important educational objective web-based problem-solving has been recognized as being a helpful approach for promoting the thinking process of students. In this study, a contextual learning approach is employed in web-based problem-solving activities for improving students' learning...
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 analysis of the promoted innovative setups and practices of educational systems revealed the necessity to develop an active learning approach. On-lecture assessment methods developed in the active learning context and introduced into Electronics, Power Electronics, and Electrical Drives promote ultimately students' progress increasing the quality of learning. To motivate students, specific self-assessment...
Nowadays, most classrooms are equipped with technological resources and Internet connection, which enables access to an endless amount of tools that may contribute for a paradigm shift in teaching and learning. In spite of the availability of these technological resources, we seldom find pedagogical practices grounded upon institutional guidelines which make the best of these tools. This is partly...
One of the key issues in the current information society is the easy and open availability of required resources. The concept of “openness” covers several resource categories, such as data, software sources, services, innovation and education. Open Data is seen as a promising source of new business. The concept of open innovation is based on the idea of distributing “useless” innovations for beneficial...
Various personalized recommendation services are provided through internet for users with different screen sizes and various sensors. It is also expected to be many competing service providers for similar recommendation service, and the users are expected to have the chances to select one of these services. However, the user related information as well as the environmental information around the user...
Online communities are computer mediated, self-organizing, open networks where people voluntarily communicate and share knowledge. Knowledge sharing in online communities requires exerting time and effort and hence community members need motivation to contribute in these communities. Prior research identified numerous incentives that can motivate knowledge sharing in online communities such as self-efficacy...
One of the most recent advancements in the use of internet for customer-level business management is the ability to track individual customers' activities, approach them proactively, provide customized offerings and manage customer lifecycles. Moving from managing the community to managing its individual members is the common denominator in many related developments. Customer co-created contents,...
Social network sites (SNS) like Facebook allow users to add friends from a variety of contexts to a single general-purpose social network. The variety of friend types that gather on the site can lead to context collapse where connections from a variety of context are grouped in a single collection. This research examines the friend types who are commonly unfriended and examines two particular friend...
Social networking concepts have been applied to several communication network settings, which span from delay-tolerant to peer-to-peer networks. More recently, one can observe a flourish of proposals aimed at giving social-like capabilities to the objects in the Internet of Things. Such proposals address the design of conceptual (and software) platforms, which can be exploited to easily develop and...
Nowadays, many Learning Environments provide a tailored and personalized learning experience to learners on the basis of information collected implicitly or explicitly about them. Several studies have been carried out concerning personalization to provide a personalized environment when using a learning management system. However, these systems cannot be adapted to all kind of learners regardless...
A continuous trend of the past decade has shifted educational responsibility to individuals, while elaborate Internet technologies have fostered easy and open ways to content and communication in a location- and time-independent manner. Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) have emerged as a new paradigm within the context of network-centric learning. While interacting with others interested in the same...
This paper evaluates an automated scheme for aligning and combining optical character recognition (OCR) output from three scans of a book to generate a composite version with fewer OCR errors. While there has been some previous work on aligning multiple OCR versions of the same scan, the scheme introduced in this paper does not require that scans be from the same copy of the book, or even the same...
Tools for collaborating in distributed, virtual spaces support concepts of multidisciplinary authorship that challenge notions of individual production. Technical communicators are no longer able to control these new communication environments. But we can seek to understand content users who have now become content producers. This presentation will look at new tools for collaborative design work and...
