In product development and planning, enterprises often adopt matrix chart for strategic study. For example, QFD for the quality control of product parts and their best combination of quality control analysis or image words for two-dimension image scale for product appearance analysis or product appealing, purchase intention for consumer's preference study. Furthermore, value evaluation by the weights...
Taiwan's advertising industry, just like other cultural creative industries, has hit a bottleneck during its growth. This is a common phenomenon encountered by emerging industries during their development stage. Hence, there is a need for public policy and funding from the public sectors to support and nurture them. However, as the output value of an industry is usually declared by the business operators...
The earlier result of his research showed that most Taiwanese SME designers were frustrated in innovations since it takes hard evidences to persuade their managements, but they are in lack of resources. Thus, this research proposed the SSFD model with ready templates to help them. This paper focused on the third stage of the SSFD Model, i.e. "The Stage of Strategy Formulation". It will help...
Cygames is a company which develops mobile games in Japan. The related game "Granblue Fantasy" is based on lottery mechanisms of "specific unit can be exchanged by certain amount of money consumed" and "specific unit can be exchanged by certain times of lottery". According to consumers' mental states and companies' measures to make profits, this study analyzes the advantages...
This paper proposes a novel approach to develop super quality software(s) using workflows that improves the software code quality by reducing occurrence of software maintenance problems to minimum. It motivates the software development companies to use a static code analysis tool with our proposed modifications. Therefore, the static code analysis (SCA) exposes critical areas at early stages to be...
Field of software development is a very important part of ICT. Large number of new software is developing every day and also a lot of SW development companies exist. SW development could be done in several ways based on standardized methodologies and mobile applications are not exceptions. Selection of the right methodology is a key part which could affect time and quality of development. This paper...
Recently, many researched have been conducted to prevent a lot of traffic accidents caused by driver distraction such as neglect of forward-looking. A HUD (Head Up Display) is an exemplary device that can make human keep their eyes forward. However, when an image is generated from a light source, there is a case ghost images appear. These ghost images may cause dizziness to the driver while driving...
Electronic business (e-business) can potentially develop SME's adeptness and efficacy in facing the fast-changing and competitive business environment. Despite the success of many larger counterparts, SMEs are still lagging behind in using the Internet for their business especially in the context of developing countries. Although it is observed that some SMEs are beginning to catch up, still many...
Nowadays, smart meters are capable of collecting, processing, storing, and reporting users' energy consumption data with high fidelity. While facilitating a wide variety of applications such as demand response and anomaly detection, smart meter data exposes users to the risks of revealing sensitive information including occupancy states and activity patterns. Among privacy-preserving data collection...
As its complexity grows, securing a system is harder than it looks. Even with efficient security mechanisms, their configuration remains a complex task. Indeed, the current practice is the hand-made configuration of these mechanisms to protect systems about which we generally lack information. Cloud computing brings its share of new security concerns but it may also be considered as leverage to overcome...
In software development application lifecycle management (ALM) systems are used to support the development process. As these products are tailored for best fitting the applied programs and their actual usage is diverse. Often, this means that products of different vendors are applied, which reduce the reachability between different artefacts and the overall consistency of the system. In this paper...
In water companies, decisions have to be made in order to guarantee the production workflow and supply the customers. Regarding water scarcity problems they have characteristics such as: they are complex situations and involve many participants of all society. Deciding how to manage the distribution of water in scarcity periods is by far a great challenge to managers in water companies. This study...
This paper focuses on optimizing one of the most critical activities in door-to-door intermodal transportation, i.e., the containers' drayage by road. We present a technique to solve in an exact and optimal way the pick-up and delivery problem under the typical assumptions of intermodal transportation: full truck load, split delivery, clustered backhauls, and time windows. The method allows limiting...
The success or failure of a construction project depends largely on the contractor's performance since they are responsible for important activities in the building process. In this way, it is necessary to monitor the performance of the contractors who already working with the organization to control failures during the development of work. Due the complexity and necessity of considering various criteria...
This paper presents an approach, based on the multi-criteria method SMARTER, that can be useful to support decisions involving the selection of the best-fit agile software development methodology for small and medium enterprises. The kickoff of this study was a research regarding measurable criteria that should be considered in this type of decision aiming to answer the needs of specific projects...
The results of the development of configurable educational stand on analog and digital circuitry laboratory works are presented in this paper. The stand's flexibility allows changing the set of the objects under study (to change the configuration) and lets you adjust the stand and laboratory works to electrical engineering, industrial electronics and other disciplines. Students, which are working...
Safety requirements are of great importance in Railway Interlocking Systems. However it is still very difficult to obtain all of the safety requirements in practice. In this paper, we propose an approach to capture safety requirements based on safety requirements patterns. From a variety of sources, such as interlocking tables and existing safety relevant functional requirements of railway interlocking...
In the last few years, sustainability has become one of the priority lines for many companies and organizations, especially public administrations. This trend has been even more evident in some regions where the preservation of natural resources is of utmost importance, not only from an environmental perspective, but also from an economic one. In this context, technology has become one of the key...
Task allocation problems have focused on achieving one-shot optimality. In practice, many task allocation problems are of repeated nature, where the allocation outcome of previous rounds may influence the participation of agents in subsequent rounds, and consequently, the quality of the allocations in the long term. We investigate how allocation influences agents' decision to participate using prospect...
Stakeholders are the primary source of requirements both as a source of information and for making requirements decisions. However, with different stakeholders having various roles and perspectives, with distinct or even conflicting interests, and uneven power in making requirements decisions, the literature shows little empirical evidence of how these differences affect the ways they contribute to...
