The volumes of data in information systems are growing drastically. The systems become increasingly complex in trying to handle heterogeneity of ubiquitous components, standards, data formats, etc. According to the vision of Autonomic Computing, the complexity can be handled by introducing self-manageable components able to "run themselves." Agent Technology fits this vision, whereas interoperability...
Ubiquitous enterprise environments are getting more and more complicated since pipelined operational systems have been interconnected according to the temporary necessities. Service-oriented architecture based on Web services technology provides a promising platform where the enterprises are allowed to coordinate seamlessly e-Services on the heterogeneous information systems. Nevertheless, the architecture...
Business application forms are popular in private companies and government organizations. There are kinds of forms, but there is a common way to use forms: Fill a form, send it to the boss or a colleague, and then wait for the approval. Most office works are done in this way together with proper decisions and operations. Hence, if every of the forms can be well controlled, then at any time the current...
This paper proposes the 'Tag Match' advertising business model which uses mobile RFID. Tag Match Advertising (TMA) combines features of the mobile RFID characteristics and content match advertising model on the Internet. TMA model can be defined as 'an advertising model, based on mobile RFID application, which offers the most appropriate advertisement for users after the consideration of users' demographic...
B2B collaborations today are typically short-term and dynamic, so it is imperative that business processes be quickly and accurately forged. This paper details research that combines both the context-aware (CA) approach and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique to select and rank potential partners in context-enabled B2B collaborations. The approach was validated by a case study. A review of...
As the ubiquitous society grows in maturity, RFID is expected to be widely used. However, they still cost more than bar codes. To make them cost-effective, it is necessary to develop applications that make secondary use of them. As such an application, we consider a wide-area advertising system, and propose an algorithm that selects advertisement to be displayed based on the people's interest information...
As computers become more pervasive, they become more personal. The ultimate pervasive computer would be as unique as the individual it serves. Unfortunately, consumer products are typically closed to protect the manufacturer's intellectual property - a policy choice that hampers user's ability to customize products to fit their unique environments. The chumby is a pervasive computing device and novel...
Enterprise resource-planning (ERP) systems, relational databases, and other mature information technologies are undergoing commoditization and facing challenges from software-as-a-service (SaaS) players moving into front-end enterprise applications. Yet, such systems are likely to be around for a long time because they are reliable and have lengthy life cycles. That said, investing in disruptive markets...
Statistical graphs are ubiquitous mechanisms for data visualization such that most, if not all, enterprises communicate information through them. However, many graphs are stored as unstructured images or proprietary binary objects, making them difficult to work with beyond the reports in which they are embedded. While graphs can be mapped to more common XML representations, these lack expressive semantics...
