The maritime domain plays a decisive role in the modern worldwide digital economy and collaborative environments. In addition, emerging technologies such as cloud computing provide holistic frameworks for generating and delivering a plethora of interoperable, cost-effective, and scalable e-services that efficiently manage information and data stored inside large-scale datacenters. Driven by this motivation,...
Global warming is becoming a big problem and carbon emissions from a variety of sources are the cause of it. To control emission, a number of carbon emission reduction policies and schemes such as the Kyoto Protocol & COP15 treaty have been reached and put in place. However, not all countries participate in these global carbon mitigation treaties. One of the many reasons for the absence of participation...
In this paper we illustrate the application of a business model ontology with particular application to the Internet, IT, and telecommunication industry. It allows to subdivide a business model into a set of standard building blocks, which allows to identify and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a particular model. The framework further enables the systematic comparison of different models to...
This paper offers breaking the traditional teaching mode, and actively exploring “teacher-guidance & students-centered” in teaching adapt to the current higher vocational education for several problems of higher vocational education. Building the three-dimensional network teaching resources based on “paper materials & E-learning resources & skills training”. It has made the appropriate...
Quality education is a universal goal. This decade was marked by rapid advances and changes in many aspects of human activity, often taken together as the sign of a shift into knowledge era. Such advances and changes have stimulated many discussions about the role of information technology (IT) in teaching and learning.

In a traditional learning environment, learning is restricted to time and place, whereas E-learning embeds information technologies into education to expand the borders of the classroom. Open Source Software (OSS) has become an international phenomenon, moving from relative obscurity to the latest buzzword in a few years. OSS is not only a successful software development, but also works well in E-learning...
This paper summarizes recent explorations of the use of lifetime exergy consumption as a thermodynamically based metric for sustainability of information technologies. Other proposed thermodynamic metrics are described and compared with life cycle exergy consumption. The pros and cons of different metrics are discussed, and the advantages of life cycle exergy as a metric for information technologies...
