Currently, the e-commerce platforms or websites are designed such that users search for products and they are not "store centric" rather product centric. Browsing products over such websites does not add any value to the stores. The below abstract shows the method and system of a Visual Commerce Engine. In this system, stores can come online and showcase their products and improve their...
Graphical models are useful for discussing different aspects of processes, structures or requirements. The visual syntax of a standard modelling language cannot support all such aspects. There are several cases where it would be desirable to decorate the symbols in a diagram with additional visual annotations. This way, it is possible to include specific information (such as security requirements)...
Business data in geographic maps, called data maps, can be displayed via business intelligence dashboards. An important emerging feature is the use of background maps that overlap with existing data maps. Here, the authors examine the usefulness of background maps in dashboards and investigate how much cognitive effort users put in when they use dashboards with background maps as compared to dashboards...
To define queries on domain-specific data-structures, end-users have to be familiar with the underlying data model. This is challenging if the data model evolves continuously and through collaborative model management. While visual languages address this issue by providing strong guidance for non-technical end-users, they suffer from a limited expressiveness due to their focus on usability. Therefore,...
In this paper, we propose a novel method for image based object relighting through patch match warping and color transfer. According to our method, a pair of reference object images (A and B), without any knowledge of the 3D geometry or material information of the input object image, are needed. The input image has similar illumination condition as that of the reference image A. The reference image...
Learning OOP for novice learners remains a major problem for many students at University level. Students still find OOP concepts difficult to grasp. They are not able to grasp the easiest OOP topic and they are asked to move to another topic. Therefore, this paper illustrates a concept which was tested with 10 students to ease OOP learning process for novice learners. The approach mainly consists...
Web applications differ from web sites as they have wide range of interactive features/functionalities and dynamic content. The content delivered via thin client or server driven architecture vary in size, structure and visual design. To accommodate such rich content care should be taken when designing user interface. Various methodologies exist to deliver the content to the users in an efficient...
Internet and social media has attracted most users to earn extra income. Instagram originally used for visual storytelling, is now also used for a variety of things; such as to online shop. Instagram has convenience features like uploading photos and comments, that can make online seller can be successful in managing their business. But in the end, they realized that Instagram is not e-commerce that...
Captions are a central component in image posts that communicate the background story behind photos. Captions can enhance the engagement with audiences and are therefore critical to campaigns or advertisement. Previous studies in image captioning either rely solely on image content or summarize multiple web documents related to image's location; both neglect users' activities. We propose business-aware...
Saliency detection is a challenging problem and one of the most active research topics in the field of computer vision. Application scenarios of saliency detection range from surveillance to retrieval, from industrial safety to sports analysis. Given the broad set of techniques used in saliency detection and the fast progress in this area, in this paper we briefly survey the corresponding literature...
This paper proposes a mental model approach to support category hierarchy maintenance on sellers' self-input items in e-commerce websites. We conduct co-occurrence analysis between sellers' self-input items and existing website category items, and use Hierarchical Clustering Analysis to explore hierarchical structure and the association relationships hidden among these subjects. At last, we draw on...
Some of the greatest challenges for Software requirements elicitation are related with the identification of what is needed to be developed and with the understanding of the organization business rules. In this context, this paper aims to suggest the use of Comic Books in the process of requirements elicitation within a business model and evaluate the results of applying this technique. To reach this...
Data Visualization is an important area of research including different techniques to enhance the capability of people to understand and use data-driven information. The chord diagram is a technique that aims to support the visualization of relations among different participants in a social network. Although this technique is widely used and adopted in many disciplines, it is not currently implemented...
The objective of this paper is to propose a model to assist in monitoring the software development process in distributed environments. For an initial validation of the model was developed an experiment with IT professionals and were used as tools Kanban and BPMN.
Big data refers to several collections of data sets so large and difficult that it becomes complex to process using traditional information giving out applications. The issues include study, confine, curation, investigate, division, storage space, convey, image, and confidentiality violation. The characteristics of big information are volume, velocity, value and variety. Big data is the information...
Gamification is a recent phenomenon that emphasizes the process of incorporating game elements, for a specific purpose, into an existing system in order to maximise a user's experience and increase engagement with the system. In this paper, we discuss the effects of the introduction of the principles of gamification to a system for solving real-world container loading problems in a warehouse environment...
This paper presents a detailed survey on existing Business Intelligence (BI) tools for developing a dashboard in a typical academic setup. As a survey, few most popular BI tools like SpagoBI, Tableau, Pentaho, Qliksense, Jaspersoft and Jedox are considered based on the ease of use, support in terms of training and minimal initial cost. At the end, a sample dashboard has been developed using one of...
Web assaults are on the ascent and stance genuine security dangers to big business systems, business sites and to the a great many home web clients. Web assaults are turning out to be more strong and complex with time. System movement perception instruments have effectively empowered security examiners to comprehend the way of activity present in a system. On the other hand, these devices depend basically...
We present ParallelSpaces, a novel method to explore bipartite datasets in both feature and data dimensions. This dyadic data is displayed as weighted bipartite graphs using scatterplots in two separated visual spaces, where each entity is positioned according to multi-dimensional properties of each entity or similarity in preferences. Selecting or navigating in one space is reflected in the other...
