Services are expected to be a promising way for people to use information and computing resources in the emerging ubiquitous network society. In this study, we propose a metaphoric concept called flowable service. It is defined as a logical stream that organizes and provides circumjacent services in such a way that they are perceived by individuals as those naturally embedded in their surrounding...
Enterprise Resource Based View (RBV) provides theoretical basis for research of sustainable competitive advantage of IT resources. This paper analyzed the relationship between IT resources and sustained competitive advantage of enterprises, and the choices of IT resources clustering index. IT resources fuzzy clustering model has been constructed. The Fuzzy C-Mean Clustering (FCM) algorithm based on...
Chinese enterprises' cross-border M&As are confronted with many factors, such as national culture, business culture, corporate culture and cultural multi-levels. Based on cultural level theory and from the perspective of national culture, this paper analyzes cultural differences between Chinese and western cultures, and we propose a three-layer model of national culture comprising basic assumptions,...
Today's enterprises deploy IT to do their business, which introduces significant complexity. This technical complexity combined with organizational complexity can and does create internal "islands of inefficiency" that are difficult to deal with. The notion of the IE is characterized by the ability of businesses to morph into new forms/entities with some surprising results. We envision that...
In the modern society, each one is highly affected by the Internet from fundamentally living necessities to scientific developing. Surfing the Internet has become part of our life. Based on a database recording the timing of the Internet accessing for an educational institution, we present the distributions of the time intervals in Internet surfing and single website visiting. The time interval distributions...
Workflow recognition through processing of humans and objects in a camera sensor network, presents a significant challenge recently. Human action recognition and sequence of actions manipulation, that construct a workflow situation/rule, has many practical applications in many different real human application environments. This article presents a multi agent based real time infrastructure, for recognizing...
In the modernized information service environment, the users' needs of information grow diversified and personalized. However, there is great difference among different users. Compared with the standardized products and services, the personalized services and products are more helpful to the increase of products' added value and meet the users' needs better. In this paper, based on Maslow's Hierarchy...
With the recent fierce development of financial crisis, more and more theorists and practitioners have focused on both the excessively high executive compensation and the inversed relation between executive compensation and firm performance, which shows that the principal-agent theory can not explain the determining mechanism of executive compensation any more. By adopting the emerging managerial...
The fashion enterprise has faced more and faster changes in recent years due to the different requirements of customers and the variations of global economic environments. For leaders of these enterprises, they must make decision on correct strategies to keep competitiveness in such complex networked environment. E-HRM is the application of information technology for both networking and supporting...
Services computing paradigm together with Web services have significantly promoted the automation of business process in enterprise. Prevalent service composition technologies, such as WS-BPEL and WSCI, provide promising means to deal with machine-to-machine communication. Traditionally, in the phase of business process modeling, there usually require some human-involved tasks. Recent new technologies...
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...
Although synthesis was considered an important and challenging approach to construction of a program or a program model in software development, most of research on synthesis has been devoted to the construction of state machine models or variations of them. Recently, as process modeling through languages like UML Activity Diagram and BPMN appears as a new paradigm of software development, the ability...
Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) and Business Process Modeling (BPM) have become foundation for many practical business applications, and received more and more attention from both industry and research community. The purpose of BPM is to develop powerful yet intuitive frameworks for specifying real world business processes. The combination of SOC and BPM produce new challenge on how to model business...
With the advent of knowledge economies, technological innovation has assumed a critical role in business growth. The purpose of this paper is thus to investigate the impact of technological innovation capability on the growth of Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by establishing conceptual framework, distinguishing driving factors from various innovation attributes, and testing empirical models...
Architecting has become an important discipline within the broader context of systems engineering. The lack of a common understanding of the discipline amongst practitioners and other stakeholders, particularly in broad communities, can result in confusion, misunderstanding and inefficiencies. Methods and principles from the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) are used to define a method for investigating...
Knowledge-based systems are advanced systems for representing complex problems that use artificial intelligence to solve these problems. They incorporate a database of expert knowledge designed to facilitate the knowledge retrieval in response to specific queries, along with learning. In this paper we present a knowledge based system designed to increase the efficiency of the tasks executed by a robot...
This paper suggests a framework for the book evolution in ubiquitous computing age. Based on the review of the academic researches and industrial development, we suggest the three dimensions of the evolution of books: digitalization, augmentation, and hypermediation. Based on the framework, we suggest three research and business development directions: 1) Open Hypermediation, 2) e-Book Augmentation,...
Through Life Capability Management (TLCM) is a complex evolving domain that requires a new approach to better understand the different viewpoints, models and practices within various enterprises to support a future conceptual model development.
