The development of the Internet and the emergence of smart devices have brought about significant changes in the existing shopping structure and shopping patterns, and have resulted in notable qualitative growth and development in everyday life of consumers. In particular, the shopping structure is changing in the form of an Omni Channel to maximize customer's purchase experience. However, since Omni...
The original design of the Internet was a resilient, distributed system, that may be able to route around (and therefore recover from) massive disruption—up to and including nuclear war. However, network routing effects and business decisions cause traffic to often be routed through a relatively small set of Autonomous Systems (ASes). This is not merely an academic issue; it has practical...
Despite years of research, the Internet still lacks a routing protocol with guaranteed termination. As is well-known, decentralization of routing decisions among the Autonomous Systems (ASes) that comprise the Internet may result in permanent oscillations of the state of its routing protocol — the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Some permanent oscillations are made from routing loops — the propagation...
The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the widespread growth of Internet has revolutionized the way of performing commercial operations. Due to this the organizations must reconsider the use of systemic thinking and aim their business models towards more globalized tendencies. All this has helped many companies to see the electronic commerce as a new way of on-line...
Digital Business or D-Business is an environment where nearly all physical and virtual assets in the value chain are digital. Intelligent objects, are a part of end-to-end processes. Business is conducted by intelligent agents making decisions based on context provided by the IoT — Internet of Things. In order to improve productivity in the value chain, a Steel Mill decided to automate one of its...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is captivating the society because of its potential to rapidly transform businesses and people's lives. It is widely believed that IoT will also transform the industrial automation business in terms of improved productivity, less cost, flexibility, and increased revenues. Hence, there are some challenges that needs to be addressed when IoT is introduced to the industrial...
There are many problems in the current massive open courses (MOOC) platform construction, such as high cost, high energy consumption, long construction period and poor reusability. In order to solve the above problems, a new platform construction schema of MOOC+Small Private Online Course (SPOC) based on Internet Data Center(IDC) is proposed. This platform can help users to quickly create their own...
This paper proposes a design to implement Intelligent Examination subsystem in the Internet Plus environment, which uses structure model combining B/S and C/S, JSP technology and SSH frames. Student examination terminal facilitates automatic acquisition and maintenance of exam candidate's face image for automatic authentication of its identity, automatically obtaining examination papers' information,...
Online reviews play a crucial role in helping consumers to make purchase decisions. However, a severe problem Internet Water Army (a large amount of paid posters who write inauthentic reviews) emerge in many E-commerce websites recently which dramatically undermines the value of user reviews. Although the word Internet Water Army originated from China, some other countries also suffered from this...
We live in the post-informational era. Nowadays technologies transform many segments of human life. The Internet of things is becoming one of the most important information technologies that can change and has already changed the lives of people around the world. Under the Internet of Things (IoT) is understood the concept of a computer network that unites the most diverse devices, between which interaction...
Internet of ETC is a problem that current technology development and users needs to be solved urgently. Furthermore, the risk of Internet access to traditional industry is the main direction currently being explored and studied across all trades. This paper will propose a set of Internet service security system.
Energy interconnection (EI) is a logical consequence when ideas of open source and distributed scheme from the information field are introduced into the energy field. EI is essentially a typical cyber-physical system. This paper studies the new capabilities in sensing, computation, communication and control by analyzing its characteristics and demand. Firstly, we analyze the system architecture of...
Learning evaluation in larger online university courses has become a challenge, especially in those cases when learning focuses on the development of professional skills. The objective of this article is to analyze how "authentic Assessment" applied by students correlate with the judgment of the teaching team, in the framework of a course for business and administration students. The results...
User profiling is a typical big data service created and utilized by an increasing number of Internet venders, which maintains a customized model of interests or essential attributes of their existing users by looking for insights into their behaviors. The Internet industry's best practices indicate that user profiles can help venders much more sufficiently understand their customers. As a result,...
The following article outlines the online activity and social presence of chosen world leading fast food restaurants: McDonald's, KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut. The analysis was done to examine how these companies use social media as a mean of engaging with their customers and how successful they are in doing so. The results show social media create meaningful insights and benchmarks for businesses...
The idea of this research is to explore through the web pages how the concept of big data and chronotopos affect the digital press and journalistic company. The theoretical framework tackles both concepts through information theory, network theory and collects the opinions of some authors in different disciplines. The main perspective leads to a theoretical review of the definitions that can be considered...
Private label has become an important strategy for retailers and B2C platform to gain competitive advantages. This paper investigates product introduction and position of B2C platform's private label in a distribution channel composed of one manufacturer and one B2C platform. Results indicate that introducing private label can create a win-win situation for both the B2C platform firm and the national...
China's Internet has been over 30 years of development, but there are still many problems. According to China's 2011–2015 correlation data, the evaluation index system of internet gaps established. A clustering is on the current situation of the development of Internet of China's 31 provinces and regions. The digital divide phenomenon focus on Internet development indicators measuring is obvious in...
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the current standard protocol for the inter-domain routing system. Although BGP makes easy to manipulate the output traffic by an Autonomous System (AS), it lacks other desired features such as convenient management of incoming traffic to an AS. Thus, we propose a framework to evolve the control plane routing system that is compatible with BGP (smooth transition),...
We study engineering and business relationships between Content Providers and broadband access ISPs in various organizational and policy environments. We focus on pricing and capacity decisions for bandwidth and caches for delivery of the CP's content over the “last mile” of the ISP's infrastructure. We model the CP-ISP interaction by the Stackelberg “leader-follower” game and the Integrated Operations...
