Given that the number of ready-to-use web services is steadily growing, services will provide solutions to a vast range of business problems in the future. And thanks to findings in end-user development research, popular service integration platforms such as IFTTT and Zapier emerged, making process automation as easy as never before. This progress will affect software engineering increasingly: as...
Cyber-physical-human systems find new applications in various areas of human lives. The paper proposes usage of a system of this class to achieve a synergy between the connected car and e-tourism ideas. The developed approach is presented with more attention paid to the situational awareness and behavioral awareness. The approach is illustrated via a case study aimed to organization of infomobile...
Classroom activities that are based in the real-world are known to be impactful. Similarly, activities that relate to social good have been found to be engaging and meaningful for students especially to those from underrepresented groups. Many times, these activities tend to be design based projects, and while meaningful, activities of that nature may not be suitable for every class. In this innovative...
From the perspective of information flow, we first investigate the relationship between average channel capacity and average service over an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. Based on the analysis, we then derive the base station arrangement strategy for the case with both large-scale fading and small-scale fading assumption. Besides, analytic comparisons of those strategies to that only...
This paper presents SMoCoR, a smart mobile contact recommender based on smart phone data. It recommends the most appropriate way to contact friends according to friends' current condition. In no emergency condition, SMoCoR achieves two goals. First, the recommended contacts disturb friends least, that means, it will tell whether it's suitable to call friends. Second, the recommended contact makes...
This paper proposes a new token structure for efficient handling of identity access management for online composite software services. With the requirement of ??Single Sign-On (SSO)?? for atomic services in a given composite service, this token structure binds service attributes, including workflow, providers, users, operator permission, and operation environment, together in its creation process...
The paper presents the survey result and analysis of TQM practices being followed by maintenance and repair workshops which are raised to provide intimate maintenance and repair support for wide variety of highly complex and sophisticated equipment in the diverse terrain and weather conditions in India. From an extensive review of total quality management literature, the ten primary elements of TQM...
Due to user??s inability to define his service requirement in a precise way, the services returned by service search engine (SSE) are mostly inadequate or inaccurate. Taking a clustering method on its potential search results would not only improve its search utility , but also enhance its effectiveness and accuracy than traditional ranked-list style in helping users to find relevant services . For...
As the most important component of pervasive computing in mobile business, context-aware system gets more and more attention from the researchers. One of the basic technologies used to implement the contexts' description and reasoning in context-aware systems is ontology which has the big advantage at knowledge presenting and sharing. However, the shortage of the existing methods with ontology is...
