Mobile Social Networks (MSNs) is a kind of opportunistic networks, which is composed of a large number of mobile nodes with social characteristic. Up to now, the prevalent communitybased routing algorithms mostly select the most optimal social characteristic node to forward messages. But they almost don't consider the effect of community distribution on mobile nodes and the time-varying characteristic of network. These algorithms usually result in high consumption of network resources and low successful delivery ratio if they are used directly in mobile social networks. We build a time-varying community-based network model, and propose a community-Aware message opportunistic transmission algorithm (CMOT) in this paper. For inter-community messages transmission, the CMOT chooses an optimal community path by comparing the community transmission probability. For intra-community in local community, messages are forwarded according to the encounter probability between nodes. The simulation results show that the CMOT improves the message successful delivery ratio and reduces network overhead obviously, compared with classical routing algorithms, such as PRoPHET, MaxProp, Spray and Wait, and CMTS.

The manner in which choice is framed influences individuals' decision-making. This research examines the impact of different decision constructs on decision-making by focusing on the more problematic decision constructs: The un-selected and pre-selected optout. The study employs eye-Tracking with cued retrospective think-Aloud (RTA) to combine quantitative and qualitative data. Eye-Tracking will determine how long a user focuses on a decision construct before taking action. Cued RTA where the user will be shown a playback of their interaction will be used to explore their attitudes towards a decision construct and identify problematic designs. This pilot begins the second of a three phase study, which ultimately aims to develop a research model containing the theoretical constructs along with hypothesized causal associations between the constructs to reveal the impact of measures such as decision construct type, default value type and question framing have on the perceived value of the website and loyalty intentions.

The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agent model is a highly favoured agent development model known for its distinct abstraction between components, conceptual adaptability and flexibility in determining its actions. This determination is handled through a plan selection function which determines the most appropriate plan or action given the current state of the environment. Whilst it is conceptually easy to understand, the BDI platform remains guarded by a particularly steep learning curve, especially with regards to implementation and any required adaptation. Recent years have seen various forms of extensions and approaches to BDI agent models, including a model-driven approach based around the Extended Non-functional requirements framework. Non-functional requirements illustrate parts of a system which must be satisfied to an appropriate extent. These requirements remain indeterministic in their nature however, such that their satisfaction cannot be done directly. The model-driven approach within this paper uses components from this framework to formulate plans which are governed by their contribution to these requirements. This is done in an optimised manner to ensure the selected plan is optimal in regards to the systems overall attainment. To our knowledge, this is the first time an optimised approach has been used in relation to model-driven agent creation. This paper presents our optimised model-driven agent development approach, demonstrating its conversion from the initial extended non-functional requirements model into a completely optimised and functional agent. The approach is verified through experimental analysis.

As information security becomes increasingly important, more research is being conducted in this area. In an attempt to better understand current research activities in informationsystems Security (ISsec) and to guide future explorations, a number of authors have made tentative attempts to survey/review the existing literature. However, the criteria employed in these reviews are neither consistent nor complete, which weakens their validity. Drawing on previous research, we propose an improved examination framework for systematically investigating ISsec research. This framework will allow researchers to gain a more thorough understanding of what has been done so far and to target future research efforts more effectively.

International organizations, as the World Health Organization (WHO) and national governments are constantly defining (or modifying) new healthcare protocols and procedures. Those changes have a significant impact, on one side, on the organizational concerns of a great number of healthcare institutions and centers, and on the other side, on their health informationsystems that need to be adapted according to the new (or modified) procedures. Administrative workflows are commonly defined by a high level entity and they must then be applied on different institutions ruled by this high level entity. Those workflows must then be adapted to the particular circumstances of each institution, complying with the general regulations of the process established at the top level. This problem, called Hierarchical Adaptation Problem, also implies establishing the methods to evolve together the high level regulation. Such methods must maintain the consistency among the different levels by means of the propagation of the changes to all the different adaptations of the original workflow. To solve this problem, this work introduces the Hierarchical Adaptation Method. A method based on ontologies to define the rules that must be satisfied by a generic workflow to be considered adaptable to different application cases and the rules that must be satisfied by its adapted versions. Moreover, it provides the operations to facilitate both adaptation of administrative workflows and propagation of changes.

This research contributes to the body of knowledge in informationsystems development (ISD) with an empirical investigation in the form of a case study that demonstrates the positive impact of the agile development and project management method Scrum on team leadership in informationsystems and software development projects. It also provides a useful operationalization of the concept through six identified indicators for team leadership. Despite the fact that the case unit had challenges with the use of Scrum, the indicators identified the areas where the company had managed to exploit the potential of Scrum and its practices with regard to increasing team leadership. The research results are discussed with regard to the existing Scrum literature and briefly related to complex adaptive systems (CAS) as a foundation for ISD and agile development.

Agile development is a highly collaborative environment, which requires active communication (i.e. effective and efficient communication) among stakeholders. The active communication in geographically distributed agile development (GDAD) environment is difficult to achieve due to many challenges. Literature has reported that active communication play critical role in enhancing GDAD performance through reducing the cost and time of a project. However, little empirical evidence is known about how to study and establish active communication construct in GDAD in terms of its dimensions, determinants and effects on GDAD performance. To address this knowledge gap, this paper describes an enterprise architecture (EA) driven research model to identify and empirically examine the GDAD active communication construct. This model can be used by researchers and practitioners to examine the relationships among two dimensions of GDAD active communication (effectiveness and efficiency), one antecedent that can be controlled (agile EA), and four dimensions of GDAD performance (on-Time completion, on-budget completion, software functionality and software quality).

The problematic use of smartphones has extensively drawn social attention because of the harmful and disturbing outcomes. However, there has been little comprehensive research concerning the mechanism of problematic behavior in the use of smartphone, particularly for behavioral addiction. Given the specific characteristics of smartphones (e.g., high mobility, instant connection, and ubiquitous access), it is highlighted that smartphone addiction is a behavior that differentiates from traditional addiction behavior. However, in the previous research, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and the underlying mechanism of smartphone addiction. Motivated to systematically theorize this issue, we primarily define addiction in the smartphone context and comprehend the characteristics of smartphone addiction, followed by developing the measures for smartphone addiction. On this conceptual foundation, future empirical research should be able to explain, predict, and test addiction behavior in the use of smartphone.
