The purposes of the study are: to test the quality of services provided by the Land Administration Agent in Taiwan through PZB, a model of service quality; through the weighted differences showed by the important factors in the evaluation of service quality of the Land Administration Agent by the customers, we could understand which professional abilities and service items should be enhanced and tried...
Eco-tourism sites at Taiwan are normally selected with abundant natural and aboriginal resources. High mountain areas are commonly reserved for aboriginal tribe residents who keep varieties of biology and culture. There are four perspectives of the authors concerns: participation degree, participation pattern, participation acknowledgement, and participation effects. Conclusions of this study refers...
In 2004, the Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) Council on Women in Computing (ACM-W) launched a series of regional conferences for women in computing, called Celebrations. Celebrations adopted several components of the well-known international conference, the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC). This paper will describe the Celebrations' components and rationale for these...
Steel has played a leading role in the development of human civilization and technology. To achieve the goal of industry 4.0 for steel industry, intelligent automated manufacturing becomes increasingly important. One of the key steps on the automatic production line of steel products is automatic inspection of surface detects. In this paper, we propose a fast vision-based surface inspection framework...
Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
A novel evaluation model, incorporating Theil entropy into TOPSIS, is employed for investigating Chinese high-tech innovation capacity at provincial level. More specifically, the innovation capacity evaluation in high-tech industries is viewed as a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) problem. The weights of the indicators are determined by the Theil entropy analysis, and the regions are ranked...
A comprehensive evaluation model of enterprise's partner selection on UIC is established by use of Analytical hierarchical process (AHP) and Grey Fuzzy Evaluation Method. The evaluation index system is built through literature review and expert interview, and then the weight of each index is determined by AHP and the reasonable conversion from qualitative to quantitative is acquired through the application...
To achieve the goal of industry 4.0 for steel industry, intelligent automated manufacturing becomes increasingly important. One of the key steps on the automatic production line of steel products is automatic inspection of surface detects. In this paper, we consider the problem of stitching continuous casting steel billet images captured from billet production line. It has been shown that integrated...
Highly distributed self-organizing CPS exhibit coordination schemata and communication requirements which are similar to structured overlay networks. To determine the resilience of such overlays, we analyze the connectivity of Kademlia, which has been successfully deployed in multiple applications with several thousands of nodes, e.g., BitTorrent. We measure the network connectivity within extensive...
The paper addresses the problem of sensor location regarding the solvability of the disturbance decoupling problem in finite automata. Two methods are given to find the measured output, which guarantees the solvability of the disturbance decoupling problem. Besides being of interest itself, the solution of this problem allows to address the disturbance decoupling problem in hybrid systems.
The 4th edition of the International Conference on Multimedia Computing and Systems (ICMCS'16) consolidates its position among IEEE renowned conferences covering topics and issues related with multimedia technologies. These technologies are reshaping modern societies at different levels and through applications as diverse as medicine, education, virtual reality, augmented reality and entertainment.
The results of the requirements engineering process are predominantly documented in natural language requirements specifications. Besides the actual requirements, these documents contain additional content such as explanations, summaries, and figures. For the later use of requirements specifications, it is important to be able to differentiate between legally relevant requirements and other auxiliary...
According to statistics, the number of elementary schools containing less than 200 pupils reached 1,264 in 2015. Assessment results presented by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) suggested an uneven distribution of learning resources between urban and rural areas, underscoring the difficulties of increasing technology literacy in rural areas as well as the importance...
Over the years, User Experience (UX) becomes a main term in designing an interactive product. The term itself lacks proper theoretical definition and is used in many different ways especially in academic and industry. This paper reviews and explores various existing approaches to conceptualize and understand user experience better. It covers both theories from the academics as well as studies conducted...
Zambia is currently facing an energy crisis. In the recent past ZESCO, the national electricity utility has heightened load shedding, throughout the country. The reason for this being attributed to insufficient water in the reservoirs at Kariba and Itezhitezhi due to “below average” rainfall experienced during the 2014/15 rainy season. The load shedding averages 6–10 hours per day and affects industries,...
