The purpose of the present study was to explore the characteristics and the effects of interpersonal interaction based on network among college students. The development of internet facilitates the deep change of college students in all aspects, especially in the interpersonal interaction. Based on the definition of the network interpersonal interaction, the current paper summarized the characteristics...
In this paper we analyze few GPS-based traces to infer human mobility patterns. We propose a clustering method to extract the main points of interest, called geo-locations, from GPS data. Starting from geo-locations we propose a definition of community, the geo-community, which captures the relation between a spatial description of human movements and the social context where users live. A statistical...
The use of traditional fuels such as kerosene for lighting in developing countries have negative health impacts, safety concerns, provide insufficient illumination for tasks such as reading, and are comparatively expensive per unit of light produced. Renewable distributed energy micro-generation technologies have been shown to be a suitable and cost effective alternative. However, the sustainable...
Mixed service-oriented systems composed of human actors and software services build up complex interaction networks. Without any coordination, such systems may exhibit undesirable properties due to unexpected behavior. Also, communications and interactions in such networks are not preplanned by top-down composition models. Consequently, the management of service-oriented applications is difficult...
This paper introduces the concept of participatory risk management (PRM). By involving community members and netizens in the risk management process we believe the community will become safer and participants will become smarter in dealing with risks. A PRM gaming system concept for incentivizing community risk management through rewarding play is presented as an example application of PRM.
Employment has a vital bearing on people's livelihoods. It is the fundamental prerequisite and basic approach for people to improve their lives. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is seen to extend beyond the statutory obligation to comply with legislation and sees organizations voluntarily taking further steps to improve the quality of life for employees and their families as well as for the local...
On the base recognizing of Knowledge diffusion characteristics of the Knowledge Intensive Based Services (KIBS), the paper discusses three main influencing factors of KIBS cluster knowledge diffusion: characteristics of the cluster main body, contents of the knowledge diffusion and the medium of the knowledge diffusion. The finding suggests level structures of KIBS cluster knowledge diffusion consists...
This paper used principle and method that as a humanize unity, community of interests possessed original drive that developing the society, to research enterprise's charm and management system based on product advantage competitive forces. It was found that community of interests shouldered the burden of lifetime warranty for employees that need build a corporate culture system of human-based management...
Similarity breeds connections, the principle of homophily, has been well studied in existing sociology literature. Several studies have observed this phenomenon by conducting surveys on human subjects. These studies have concluded that new ties are formed between similar individuals. This phenomenon has been used to explain several socio-psychological concepts such as segregation, community development,...
One of the technical challenges in the knowledge society is to build a situated intelligent agent that can join our knowledge process to learn and exploit tacit knowledge in a situated fashion. Social intelligence design sheds light on the social context in which agents might take part in our knowledge process where tacit knowledge comes into play. We aim at building a computational framework for...
Marketing explores how to use "market" to attain win-win results of the two sides in exchange activities. Human beings neglect that environment promotes human society development. That caused conflicts between urban development and environment protection. The experiences of Overseas Chinese Town, China, proved that employing the concept of environment marketing in developing management can...
Enterprises in achieving long-term development in the process of enterprise development strategy must be established with the corresponding human resource planning system. Rational planning of human resources, on the one hand can guarantee that the manpower needs of enterprise development, it also avoids resulting in oversupply of labor. And how to correctly predict the company's future manpower needs...
One of the most important objects in IT is to enhance the convenience of human-beings. The ubiquitous computing environment, where user can access any networks without time and space restriction, is a result of aggregation of the latest technologies to provide human-beings various capabilities. In this paper, the dynamic community composing model is proposed. The role of this model is to compose a...
The use of Agent-Based Social Simulations (ABSS) using random-walk algorithms as the randomization approach in an attempt to reproduce human behaviors abound in the literature. However, almost all human actions are nonrandom and include a probabilistic component. This work investigates the use of a probabilistic distribution-based randomization method based on Levy flight as an improvement to the...
This article through analysis community commercial and the community life interaction fusion, pointed out that community commercial the development to constructed the opening community and the stimulation community vigor has had the positive influence, proposed that the community commercial impetus realized the community ecology and the human occupies the cultural value as well as the neighborhood...
Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA) have become the de facto standard for designing distributed and loosely coupled applications. Many service-based applications demand for a mix of interactions between humans and Software-Based Services (SBS). An example is a process model comprising SBS and services provided by human actors. Such applications are difficult to manage due to changing...
In today's digital era, the community become an important basis for development. Development funding is no longer rely on natural resources but also on the creative economy based on knowledge. Therefore, people are expected to take advantage of the use of ICT (Information And Communication Technology) as a tool to be able to create a knowledge society. There are many research discussed about knowledge...
With the concept of sustainable development progresses deeply and social process of population aging intensifies, the design began to think about the plans about resource use and lifestyle within a particular social context, it thinks about the promotion of sustainable social development and other issues. We research the ideas of "make the best use of" and sustainable design around the in-depth...
Communities are being established by human beings based on some common characteristics. Marriage and Birth operators are defined in order to address different Human Communities, based on Community Sticker. This Community Sticker and operators will be used in our on-going research of Development of Community Algorithm. The Community Sticker will be linked with Community Ontology and Human Community...
