The development of educational policies that improve educational systems needs intelligent automated tools for decision making. This need has motivated the development of a new system which can help teachers, schools, and decision makers in enhancing students' performance. The primary concern here is to monitor the students and help the teachers in building action plans that improve students' performance...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way we perceive information. It has inspired solutions for a variety of everyday problems. With the advent of IoT, the internet will house several “intelligent “objects capable of making their own decisions and communicate with each other in an efficient manner. SOA services coupled with decision making capability helps in efficient processing of information...
Manufacturing systems have all along been inflexible to market and environmental changes. Hence, the need for bringing in flexibility and agility into the entire supply chain in order to ensure the customer receives the right product at the right time and with good quality. However, it is difficult to achieve the ideal scenario due to reasons of raw material availability, vendor management, inflexible...
To assess the excellence of academic research many measures are being used. Citation network is defined as a kind of social network which holds the information about paper sources and co-citation relationship. This paper analyses the impact of self-citation and references factors and helps the authors to understand its importance. The analysis is made with the list of articles selected from multidisciplinary...
One of the challenges in achieving success in the global competition for the government is to set up higher education institutions to be able to become a World Class University (WCU). It is believed that to address this challenge they need effective collaboration for both internally and externally where information technology (IT) is set as an enabler. However, in fact, this research has found that...
Nowadays the competition in IT offshoring is fierce along with the rapid growth of IT offshoring. Some of Indonesian IT vendors succeed in acquiring IT projects from clients abroad, but some of them are not successful in delivering the project. Some previous studies have included interaction capability as the determinant of IT outsourcing success, but the concept of interaction is considered as one...
This study was carried out to explore the steps of User-centered Design in development of health information technology. The technology was developed in two research projects: the European Union project United4Health that created a collaborative telemedicine system for remote monitoring of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and the Southern Norway regional project eHealth-extended Care Coordination...
The Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network has many advantages in the development of road infrastructures and the field of technology. Recently, many research groups suggest to apply the concept of Vehicular Cloud by leveraging the under-used physical resources of cars. In this paper, we discuss the exploitation of vehicular storage capabilities during a traffic jam. We propose a scheme which permits to create...
This paper proposed a new kind of online education mode, MOOE (Massive Open Online Experiment). MOOE was produced based on the thoughts of the Internet thinking and the opening-and-sharing resources and was the organic combination of MOOC and experimental teaching. The main contributions were made: (1) Instructed MOOE's concept and characteristics. MOOE build a network laboratory with the advanced...
An Open Ended Group Project (OEGP) is a distinguishable pedagogical tool, used by teachers in computing, engineering, and information technology courses. The tool contributes to the development of ‘soft’ skills essential for students' future career needs. This paper reports on a phenomenographic study that investigates the research question: What are the ways in which academics teaching Open Ended...
In the last decade, virtual computer laboratories have been successfully used to provide students with hands-on experimentation in information technology fields in a cost effective and secure manner. In this paper, we study the effect of collaborative learning on student perception and acceptance of virtual computing as a learning medium. Virtual computing is a relatively new technology and can be...
