Understanding skill acquisition in the context of information systems (IS) use is increasingly important as digital technologies continue to pervade all aspects of personal and business life. To address this important construct, in this study we explore potential antecedents of skill acquisition, including: playfulness, ease of use, comprehensiveness of use, and atypical use. We also explore the mediating...
This research proposes a framework that helps information systems managers to interpret present state of the system, to understand its past and to predict its future. The benefits of the framework are twofold. First, it gives managers a tool for assessing the impact of a change from either the users or the business/IS perspective. Managers can use this framework to design a strategy for information...
As manager's human-computer interface, end-user devices greatly determine the acceptance of management support systems (MSS). Accommodating managers' growing range of MSS use situations, this article proposes a model for selecting such devices from their business perspective. Based on a literature review, we derive a research model that incorporates three MSS use factors and a taxonomy for MSS devices...
Given the dearth of studies investigating the contribution of information technology infrastructure flexibility on strategic use of information systems, this paper proposed a framework linking the former and the later. In the framework, information systems strategic use is operationalised in three dimensions namely cost leadership, product or service differentiation, and growth advantage. The IT infrastructure...
Partial shading, which directly affects the payback period and efficiency, cannot be avoided completely in domestic integrated photovoltaic (PV) arrays. Up-to-date economic analysis under partially shaded conditions is not reported in detailed in the literature. In this paper a techno-economic analysis was carried out to demonstrate how the selection of a PV module effects the power extraction and...
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric key encryption algorithm which is extensively used in secure electronic data transmission. When introduced, although it was tested and declared as secure, in 2005, a researcher named Bernstein claimed that it is vulnerable to side channel attacks. The cache-based timing attack is the type of side channel attack demonstrated by Bernstein, which uses...
Innovation and internationalization are two important factors for growth. This study analyzes whether innovativeness has an effect on the internationalization of software firms, and if so, how strong this effect is. Innovation and internationalization have rarely been studied together, with research tending to focus more on the relationship between innovations and growth. However, internationalization...
Although there has been significant research on information and communication technology (ICT) project success, but there are still gaps around this field. Thus, further understanding to ensure the level of ICT project success is still required in both theory and practice. The ultimate aim of this study is develops a coherent critical success factors (CSFs) framework for helping ICT project managers...
Some organisations own information systems (IS) whose age are more than ten years old to support their businesses. These systems are known as legacy information systems (LIS). LIS are still in use because they bring high business values. On the other hand, LIS normally lead to maintainability problems due to lack of experts who understand the systems, high maintenance costs and lack of documentation...
The Igel Column, 23 m high, is one of the best known Roman column monuments in Germany and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage ‘Roman Structures, Cathedral and Church of Our Lady’ in Trier. The list also includes a faithfully reconstructed and colored one-to-one copy of the column monument from the early 20th century, which is located at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier. Both original and copy...
In the article the architecture of group decision support system is described. The developed system differs from the existing ones by the presence of the subsystem for synthetic procedure of group decision, which allows to synthesize the required version of group decision method.
Agility at the business and organizational levels presents a challenge for many enterprises. Business agility demands the ability to sense and respond to changes in competitive environments, whereas organizational agility demands the dexterity to sense broader market opportunities and respond with changes that are organization-wide. These challenges require an information and communication technologies...
Agile methodologies in software development are gaining prominence in global settings where distributed cross-cultural software teams collaborate on projects, addressing the needs of dynamic business environments. However, undertaking collaborative work in distributed settings can create significant challenges, especially as a number of agile principles and practices rely on physical proximity and...
The professional training has been the bottleneck of equipment maintenance support management. According to this issue, the training demands are analyzed, the training content system is developed, the training information system is designed preliminarily, and the application prospects are discussed in this paper. Moreover, it should be pointed out that promote the development of equipment maintenance...
Software requirement patterns have been proposed as a type of artifact for fostering requirements reuse. In this paper, we present PABRE-Proj a tool aimed at supporting requirements elicitation and specification.
This paper analyzes the construction about present condition of Equipment Maintenance Management System, and puts forward the main function about system construction and demonstrates the system construction frame form three aspects of whole circulating process system structure, circulating process and software design.
Despite the fact that integrated approaches for Corporate Governance, Risk and Compliance Management (GRC-Management) are increasingly demanded, GRC is still used as a catchword for a wide range of topics whereas it is to a large extend unclear how the area of topics could be structured and which needs of research exist. Therefore this article analyses the state of research on the basis of strategic...
With the continuous development of China's industrialization, the industrial revolution with the core of informatization and intellectualization has become the current mainstream of development trends, demanding the construction of information security system to escort the industrial informatization. According to the license control, information security control, user's operation permission and other...
The paper described the model time-consuming to develop and implement a human interface information system. The model is designed to optimize the design and implementation process and includes modular nature of the application. It allows to take into account the sequential and parallel connections interface modules, as well as limit order they were taken. The proposed model can improve the production...
