Abstract-In this paper a new round robin algorithm proposed for reducing context switching and solution of large time quantum. In round robin algorithm is not applicable for real time operating system because more context switching and time quantum is not fixe. Basically my proposed algorithm for a soft real time operating system. Round robin CPU scheduling is not applicable for soft real time operating...
This paper examines the expansion of the Learning Management System (LMS) beyond the Academic Institutions' boundaries. This includes taking advantage of the rapid development of Web 2.0 technologies for advancement of e-leaning in engineering education. The exponential expansion of different internet communication methodologies and its utilisation to facilitate the teaching and learning processes...
This paper presents a map search system using Shape context and Bipartite graph matching. Shape context is using for measuring shape similarity and the recovering of point correspondences. After generated from the shape context, Bipartite Graph Matching leads the optimal correspondence between two shapes. For raising the recognition rate, Hierarchical description is used. Shape context is the method...
Quality of the service (QoS) plays an important role in the life-cycle of scientific workflows for composing and executing applications. However, the quality of network services has so far rarely been considered in composing and executing scientific workflows. Currently, scientific applications tune the execution quality neglecting network resources, and by selecting only optimal software services...
By incorporating intrinsic motivator into the Technology Acceptance Model, this study attempts to explain students' behavioral intention in using the E-learning system from a motivational perspective. In addition, we empirically compared the E-learning system adoption and usage behavior between Chinese students and Canadian students. The results show that both perceived usefulness and enjoyment have...
The concern of keeping balance with ecological environment and historic context is the dominant trend of modern urban design in theory and practice. This paper is based on the project of "Urban Design for the Core Area of Jingzhou High-Tech Industrial Development Zone". The question is around how to design for a city with natural features and historic context, or how to include in this urban...
Scientific collaboration increasingly involves data sharing between separate groups. We consider a scenario where data products of scientific workflows are published and then used by other researchers as inputs to their workflows. For proper interpretation, shared data must be complemented by descriptive metadata. We focus on provenance traces, a prime example of such metadata which describes the...
Expansion of query keywords based on semantic relationship is an effective approach to improve the performance of text retrieval. In this paper, a novel approach for text retrieval is presented. The principle of the approach is to construct a integrated semantic tree, and select candidate keywords from the tree. On the tree, all nodes are weighted based on synonymy, hypernymy, and Mutual Information...
In recent years, as the concept of customer value has attracted raising attention among marketing researchers and practitioners, more enterprises start to take customer value strategies in order to increase profits and ensure sustainable development. Basically, the variety of customer value has been brought by the differences between customer expected value (CEV) and customer perceived value (CPV)...
The purpose of this study was to identify switching costs and examine the moderating effect of switching costs on buyer loyalty model in the B2B e-marketplace. Then a questionnaire was constructed and data were collected from 649 buyers of a Chinese B2B e-marketplace in 114 countries all over the world. Multi-group analysis was applied to examine the moderating effect of switching costs. Finally,...
This paper investigated into whether psychological safety, the fully discussed mechanism aimed at motivating voice, can be universally effective for people who differs across culture. Based on Hofstede's cultural framework, we contend that individualism-collectivism and power diatance moderate the relationship between psychological safety and voice to supervisor. When employees are high in collectivism...
In this paper, we propose that affective reactions are integral to capital budgeting, and that researchers must jointly consider affect and cognition to better understand capital-budgeting decision makers' behavior. Capital budgeting is very important to firms. Capital-budgeting activities are critical to a company's long-term performance. Interpersonal relationships can lead to emotional affective...
Since the feminist social movement in the 1960s, western scholars and sociolinguists have done a lot of researches on the gender-differentiated speech styles. The various kinds of researches pertinent to gender differences in language have produced fruitful discoveries in the past few decades, but most researchers seem to neglect the importance of the context in which communications take place. What...
Many scholars research the relationship of knowledge management and organizational culture since the birth of knowledge management theory and their have a variety different points of view. Now we will sort out and comment on all those chronological points.
Current economical context and industrialization accelerate product development and put forward automation. Still, product development requires also human intervention in a number of activities which cannot be entirely achieved by machines. It is the case of product development for railway markets, where the design of railway systems is guided by the evolving needs of the customers. Therefore, there...
We consider argumentation systems taking into account several attack relations of different strength. We focus on the impact of various strength attacks on the semantics of such systems, and particularly on the decision problem of credulous acceptance: namely, focussing on one particular argument, a classical issue is to compute a proof, under the form of an admissible set containing this argument...
In recent years, with the rapid proliferation of digital images, the need to search and retrieve the images accurately, efficiently, and conveniently is becoming more acute. Automatic image annotation with image semantic content has attracted increasing attention, as it is the preprocess of annotation based image retrieval which provides users accurate, efficient, and convenient image retrieval with...
In a multiagent system, coalition formation is a coordination method for agents aiming to form groups of interest. In this paper, we focus on the particular context of hedonic games. In hedonic games, the objective of the agents is to form coalitions, which are groups of agents. The satisfaction of an agent depends on other members of its coalition. In this context, autonomous agents need strategical...
Emotions play a key role in any purchasing process even more when it is done through web portals. In this paper, we present a fuzzy-logic based system aimed to generate emotions for a virtual seller or avatar. The 3D avatar is integrated within the e-Zoco e-commerce portal and its behaviour depends on the product search results. Moreover, the mood of the avatar not only depend on the products that...
