The ramping up of services in recent decades, coupled with technological development, has supported the emergence of virtual markets and stable with continued growth potential in Latin America and with high potential for developing the strategy of the organizations that can exploit this new opportunity. This study is an initial measurement of perceived service quality of internet shoppers, a scale...
This paper proposes a new methodology for evaluating the probabilistic reliability of a grid constrained composite power system including wind turbine generators (WTG). The proposed model can consider capacity limitations and transmission line unavailability. The importance of renewable energy sources has been growing at a rapid rate due to environmental concerns. In particular, wind energy is one...
Take a research in depth on the modeling problem of service path selection based on SON. Firstly, the optimal model is built with the optimal goal of balanced loading and with the functional constraints of users for composed service and multi-QoS constraints. Then the layered method and improved Ant algorithm are adopted to solve this problem. Finally, a simulated emulation is made to the algorithm,...
This study examined the antecedents and subsequences of trusting belief in C2C marketplace utilizing an integrated model, which posits that consumer-based and institution-based factors influence trusting belief in C2C marketplace, which further indirectly (mediated by the attitude) affect the willingness to participate in a C2C marketplace. Data were collected from respondents using questionnaire...
Outward Bound, as a kind of activity tourism, has gradually being accepted by tourists to strengthen the team spirit and improve individual quality. Satisfaction measurement of Outward Bound tourists is a hot issue for the academic at present, however, the original target of Outward Bound tourism has still not focused in the long term, whether it is achieved or not. This study aims to study the relationship...
From the view of customers' perception, this paper analyzes the factors effecting online shopping, and combines with empirical analysis method for research. Gathering information by the questionnaire survey, we use statistical analysis, such as reliability analysis, validity analysis, regression analysis. These results show that questionnaire design is reasonable ,the reliability and validity are...
The spectacular growth of the Internet in general and the World Wide Web (WWW) in particular, has created a new set of opportunities and challenges confronting corporate management and reporting. These developments emphasize the need for continuous online monitoring of transactions. Continuous online assurance will achieve this need. Continuous online assurance is viewed here as a type of assurance...
Taking into account the attractive prospect of the Internet, more and more service providers provide offline and online services simultaneously. At the same time, there are many online service providers who only provide online services. But the adoption of online services, especial for online transaction services develops slowly. This study selects the online banking as the research object and explores...
This paper establishes a math model of cost-benefit data envelopment analysis based on service capacity evaluation issue of E-commerce system, and presents it as the E-commerce capability evaluation method. This evaluation method based on the basic thinking of DEA. Finally, it verifies the validity and practicality of this model through taking the actual operation of e-commerce service platform as...
Virtual Community and E-commerce are both new research area which is becoming popular in IS academia. In most of research papers, virtual community and e-commerce are talked separately in different stream. Since many e-commerce websites contain a virtual community, we combine these two together to consider whether discussions in virtual communities can influence people's online shopping behaviors...
Based on the researches of the perceived risks in the Web, we construct a model to deal with the perception how to influence customers to buy in the field of C2C . Then, get 192 effective questionnaires through Internet survey. It is proved store risk, product risk, and delivery risk are 3 dimensions of C2C consumers' risk perception. The effects of product risk influence consumers' purchasing intention...
The study aims to uncover the influence of classroom technologies (i.e. a variety of audio-visual and online equipment) on an individual's (i.e. student's) learning attitude. The antecedents that were considered relevant in the early post implementation phase (taken as first year of classroom technology implementation) were: (i) experience with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), (ii)...
Inspired by the reliability maintenance mechanisms in biology systems, based on bio-network platform, a reliability design model for next-generation network is proposed. In designing the structures of bio-network and bio-entity, the reliability mechanisms are incorporated to gain the reliability maintenance capability when the entities delegate the function entities in the next-generation network...
This paper empirically studies factors determining the use of E-recruitment systems. The technology acceptance model(TAM)is used as the main framework and combines with other three factors. Firstly, a hypothetical model was given, which was derived from the integration of TAM, subjective norm, perceived risk, perceived expenses, job pressure. Secondly, the structural equation modeling(SEM) technique...
Web testing is an effective technique to ensure the quality of Web applications. Unfortunately, it is hard to directly employ the traditional test theories and methodologies because of the particularities and complexities of Web applications. Testing Web applications raises new problems and faces very high challenges. This work proposes a practical Web usage model based on probable FSM. According...
The statistical testing base on usage model is an application for cleanroom software test. This paper constitutes a usage model for the test of an embedded stream media product whose chipset is ARM926JES base on the Markov theory. And quantitative analysis for the Markov chain which is composed by states transition matrix and excitation matrix. Comparing the model's difference between usage chains...
Distributed content delivering network (DCDN) will make use of the existing resources of the common Internet users in terms of storage space, bandwidth and Internet connectivity to create it. However, DCDN has some limitations that are inefficient using of storage space, reliability and having special load balancing (LB) algorithm. So, this paper proposes re-distribution based CDN (RDCDN) that overcomes...
This paper estimated a model of inexperienced consumers' window shopping behavior in China context. An empirical study was conducted in China to test the model. The results indicate that many Chinese inexperienced consumers only do window shopping, at least partly, because they perceived high transaction cost during e-shopping which induce them to stop more involving. Moreover, we found that trust...
Customer experience is an important consideration in the establishment and maintenance of long term relationship between firms and their customers. The purpose of this study was to propose and test an integrative model for examining the relative influence of online store perception on customer behavior. The empirical results showed that physical presence, competence, and enjoyment were the important...
This paper empirically studies individual acceptance of recruitment on Internet and the factors was investigated according to technology acceptance model (TAM). Firstly, a hypothetical model was given, which was derived from the integration of TAM, subjective norm, perceived risk and perceived expenses. Secondly, the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used to evaluate the causal model...
