Research on internet users reports a gap between reported privacy concerns and observed privacy behavior. This gap has also been reported on social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. This current study explores the extent of this gap by examining individual Facebook components. Unlike the previous studies that have explored reported privacy concerns versus observed behavior, this study explores...
As the researches of ITeS deal rapidly changing technology and business developments, it is like a cruising toward horizon. Although there have been considerable amount of investigations on ITeS, there are still more to study. The study includes the aspects of geography, technology and applications. This paper presets the background for the discussion.
It is argued that creating better system transparency leads to an increased understanding of a system, which gives users better indicators for placing their trust. This way of thinking is behind the author's interest for open systems. By opening up the source, the interfaces, the standardisation or the operational data, one gains the ability to better understand, and therefore to potentially trust,...
As the world has changed over the last decades because of the information technologies evolution, so did Marketing. Now, the major solution from the information technology evolution, i.e. Internet is being integrated with Marketing in order to reach a new generation of it, Marketing 4.0. This new generation is required, since customers are not only looking for products to satisfy their basic needs,...
It is a fact that mobile devices have emerged as the core interaction platforms for Human-to-Machine communication. Mixed Reality has reached mobile devices indeed. However, there are still issues regarding its consumption beyond stand-alone applications, such as Layar and Wikitude. This article states the benefits of consuming and integrating Mixed Reality with mobile services through our tailored...
Websites serve as the presenting carriers for excellent courses construction. With the deepening of excellent courses construction and research, we have relinquished the pure evaluating display platform, and constructed comprehensive courses websites combined with teaching applications, management and display. The practice has become a tendency for the construction of excellent courses websites. In...
This visionary paper outlines a future intelligent building office space room system that seeks to ensure that the users of a rent able and/or shared office space do not perform actions that are likely to compromise IT security. We propose that a novel room agent leverages the emergent"smart" city paradigm so as to form an accurate a measure as possible of the trustworthiness of the human...
This paper provides an overview of how Internet connected objects can lead to a social change towards energy efficiency in areas where people inhabit (cities, buildings or homes). For this aim it is proposed the use of social networks, like Twitter, as an interaction and communication channel between smart objects and human beings. The presented work demonstrates, by means of an experiment, how an...
Advertising on the Internet is a key factor for the success of several businesses nowadays. The Internet has evolved to a point where it has become possible to develop a business model completely based on Web advertising, which is important for the consolidation of such a model and the continuity of the Internet itself. However, it is often observed that some content publishers are dishonest and employ...
This study was conducted to measure the readiness of PT Pertamina in implementing e-learning, where the study refers to the theories and methods of measurement have been developed by Aydin & Tasci. The results showed that PT Pertamina as a whole is ready for e-learning, but still need some improvement especially in the field of human resources. In addition, this study confirms that personal characteristics...
Currently, most authentication system requires users to answer the CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computer and Human Apart) before gaining the system access. CAPTCHA is a standard security technology for distinguish between human and computer program automatically. The problem of using CAPTCHA is the difficulty of reading the text-based presentation, or interpreting the image-based...
According to some researchers, the wave of crowds we are witnessing in recent years is another example of the challenges for the CSCW community, a line of research that fights against the dilemma of fragmentation. The reflexes of this phenomena in projects of different branches have caused a change of paradigm in how products and services are idealized and how the projects are conducted in a collaborative...
This paper examines internet sharing behavior. Sharing is a kind of reciprocal prosocial behavior, which can help consumers to cooperate with each other and reduce the transaction costs during the consumption process. Sharing is a public behavior, which is a powerful tool to combine consumers together and establish stable sensation and bonds among them. With the innovation and development of Internet...
This paper contains analysis and simulation of recent dynamic models, describing human emotion. The pharmacological discussions lead to a new model of drug taking, which also have a better performance for description of psychological and psychiatric phenomena. Studying the effects of the order of fractional model, obtains an advantage of the fractional order model over the integer order one.
This paper explores the ethical issues in information communication technology (ICT) in Malaysian primary schools. Among ethical issues that have been identified are cyber crime, cyber bullying, internet fraud, hacking and others. However, cyber bullying are the major ethical issues in Malaysian primary schools. In this study, quantitative methodology has been chosen by distributing questionnaire...
There is a gap between the increasing complexity of computer networks and the human operators ability to manage them. This gap, likely to become bigger in the coming years, needs to be addressed by more dynamic and autonomic management techniques. The ultimate aim is to provide the network with the functionality to manage itself. This paper outlines an architecture which provides support to facilitate...
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks are commonly deployed to aid the operation of critical infrastructures, such as water distribution facilities. These networks provide automated processes that ensure the correct functioning of these infrastructures, in a operation much similar to those of management operations found in traditional Internet Protocol (IP), in particular the Simple...
People-centric participatory sensing empowers people to collect and share sensor data using mobile devices across many applications. These people-centric services utilize a client-server architecture to provide meaningful information to different participating people. In this paper we present the COSN framework that provides people-centric services without relying on an infrastructure and dedicated...
We live in an era where billions of computers are interconnected. In the very near future, not only computers but also many different digital devices and other physical objects will be seamlessly connected to each other and be able to communicate with little or no human intervention. These interconnected objects are called smart devices, and this concept is called Internet of Things. In this paper,...
