Collaborative systems such as Wikipedia have taken an important step toward creating content and organizing knowledge. Because they allow all people involve in creating content, such systems will face vandals' attacks and challenges. Therefore, in order to use this encyclopedia, it is important to trust in its content and measure its quality. User's reputation is an important factor for trusting electronic...
Using AS-level Internet topology maps to determine accurate AS-level paths is essential for network diagnosis, performance optimization, reliability improvement, resiliency enforcement and topology-aware application development. One significant drawback that we have observed in many studies is simplifying the AS-level topology map of the Internet to an undirected graph, and then using the hop distance...
Many years of research have been dedicated toward the definition of sophisticated quality of service (QoS) measurement tools and methods. Nonetheless, the results given to end users by most commonly used online speed measurement tools are still far from being accurate. Among other factors, the reliability of the measurement methods is affected by different static and dynamic constraints of involved...
Nowadays, the Internet and social media represent prime channels for health information seeking and peer support. However, benefits of health social media can be reduced by low digital health literacy. We designed a massive open online course (MOOC) course about health social media to increase the students' digital health literacy. In this course, we wanted to explore the difficulties confronted by...
Young users, particularly students, can accessvarious sources of information nowadays. However, theynormally lack of experiences to assess the information credibility. This study is aimed at exploring students' choices of informationsources, gathering their points of view about the informationcharacteristics and information verification approaches, andcomparing these perceptions/ intention to their...
In the light of shortcoming of the existing reverse analysis method, including inaccurate semantic understanding of communication information and weak automation degree, etc. In this paper we propose a seeking-common and testing reverse analysis method based on set theory and achieve the extraction of industrial control system PLC remote operation instructions by building experiment platform. It is...
Named Data Networking (NDN) is a promising future Internet architecture which retrieves the content using their names. Content names composed of strings separated by '/' are stored in the NDN Forwarding Information Base (FIB) to forward the incoming packets further. To retrieve content through their names poses two main challenges for the NDN FIB: high memory consumption and high lookup time. Therefore,...
Social networking has become the main online platform not only to Generation Y cohorts, but also to other Internet user groups including Generation X and Baby Boomers. This not only affecting the way Internet users conducts their daily life; it also affects marketers (online and offline) in terms of their marketing practices. Especially to online marketers, this should be seen as a huge opportunity...
Because the phenomenon about unreasonable arrangement of college students' class hour is relatively common, the system designed a public colleges and universities ordering system based on WeChat. This system took use of convenience and openness of WeChat, which can tremendously simplify the development and promotion. At the same time, online ordering for the students provided a convenient way of eating,...
Online ordering meals is in recent years with the development of network technology, a new form of dining. Although the online ordering system has entered people's lives, but are not mature enough, still has great room for development. Therefore study how to marketing online ordering system is a very necessary research. In this article, from the marketing to analysis the online order meals system...
A key aspect of realizing the future smart grid communication solution is a balanced approach between the network performance and the network security during the network deployment. A high security communication flow path is not useful when the network path cannot support capacity and reachability requirements. The deployment phase in communication network can facilitate an optimal network path by...
The Internet is simply a series of worldwide computer networks linked together, communicating almost instantly by using various access technologies. It is playing a major role in many areas of our lives, such as communication, entertainment and information which is supported by newer innovations and technology evolvement. While the broadband Internet penetration rate is encouraging in many countries,...
Hosted by the Internet Society of China (ISC), the 15th China Internet Conference (CIC) was held in Beijing from June 21–23, 2016. The theme of the CIC is Fostering the Prosperity of Internet Economy, Promoting the Construction of a Cyberpower.
In this paper, perceived value is used as an intermediate variable to test the impact of Electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM) on the tourists' decision-making of online travel booking. It builds a conceptual model and carries out empirical research, on the basis of sample investigation, analyzes data by applying the structural equation. The research conclusion shows that the quality and credibility of...
This paper compares the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure between Saudi Arabia and Gulf States universities, the latter consisting of Qatar, Oman, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain.

E-voting systems have emerged as a powerful technology for improving democracy by reducing election cost, increasing voter participation, and even allowing voters to directly verify the entire election procedure. Prior internet voting systems have single points of failure, which may result in the compromise of availability, voter secrecy, or integrity of the election results. In this paper, we present...
As the Internet becomes an important part of the infrastructure our society depends on, it is crucial to construct networks that are able to work even when part of the network is compromised. This paper presents the first practical intrusion-tolerant network service, targeting high-value applications such as monitoring and control of global clouds and management of critical infrastructure for the...
MobilityFirst (MF), as a realization of Information Centric Network architecture, places intelligent functionality, such as storage and reliability, inside the network to assist with data delivery. The MF architecture requires effective congestion and flow control to efficiently support data delivery at scale. Traditional end-to-end, window-based congestion control like that used by TCP is unsuitable...
The purpose of this paper is to explore the key factors affecting consumer's use behavior on financial products similar to Yu'e Bao. Considering the financial market and policy environment in China, theoretical model is founded based on extending Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the hypotheses are put forward. Then, to test the model and hypotheses, 199 valid data is...
China and US both have developed online payment services, which have their own features due to the two countries' different culture, policies, and technical features etc. Therefore, it contributes to the great difference in the online payment users' perceptions of their domestic online payment in the two countries.
