To survive successfully in today's competitive online game markets, Chinese online game companies need to determine who the target customers are and what motivates them. However, previous research didn't focus on identification of critical variables for market segmentation in online game market. Additionally, the traditional clustering methodologies have not provided a unique clustering nor determined the precise number of clusters. The purpose of our research is to identify the critical variables and to develop a new methodology for market segmentation of online game market. Our research tested the model with 438 Chinese online game users

We explore ways to alleviate the current information explosion with an emphasis on organizing the abundance of legitimate (non-SPAM) emails that typical users receive daily. Our approach is to use information about the tasks implied by email message content along with context information about the environment of the message recipient. We focus on machine generated emails associated with workflow processes. We validate our approach by presenting the SCOUT portal application. This paper presents an overview of the SCOUT architecture together with results from a pilot user study that we have performed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of this system

Since business logic is complex and changes frequently, e-business software architecture becomes more complex and difficult to maintain. From the perspective of software architecture design, this paper proposes a temporal ECA based architecture for e-business systems (TECAB) representing business logic in the form of temporal ECA, sketches a conflict-managing mechanism based on meta-action. The TECAB can separate business logic from business processing reasonably and support dynamic e-business logic effectively. TECAB has been applied to develop CRM system application, integrated with the conflict-management mechanism and storing TECA rule and action constraint with XML language

Business component identification is recognized as one of the greatest important phase in the process of component-based software development (CBSD). This paper presents an approach to identify business components from domain business model. First a domain business model of enterprise information system is proposed, and it is the input of business components identification phase. To identify business components, a hierarchical clustering technique based on graph is proposed. This method proposed differs from traditional clustering technology, and it uses the edge strength to substitute for edge weight. In the process of business components identification, we consider cohesion, coupling, granularity and number of business components. To acquire high quality business components, we give the rule of evaluation of business components, which consider mainly non-functional factors such as capacity, cost, security etc. Finally, quality management subsystem is used as example to describe the method of business component identification

WebView materialization is an important technology in improving the performance of database-backed Web server in terms of response time. However, it brings the WebView update problem since WebView should be updated online to maintain the freshness of queries. The online update would increase the system workload, and may severely degrade system performance if the update approach is not efficient enough. Currently, there is only few literatures addressing this problem. In this paper, a new framework for the materialized WebView update named OUDA (opportunity & deferred update approach) is proposed, which combines the asynchronous opportunity update and the deferred update methods together. The asynchronous opportunity update is adopted to make the best of the idle time of CPU to refresh the outdated WebViews as much as possible, and the deferred update is employed to refresh those requested WebViews which have not yet been updated by the opportunity update. OUDA not only guarantees the freshness of queries, but also greatly lessens the contest between update tasks and query service process. Our experiments indicate that OUDA is a more scalable and more efficient solution

With the development of economic globalization, China is becoming one of the most important world manufacture center. Act as an industrial platform, industrial cluster plays a crucial role and is gradually evolving into a kind of industrial environment in China manufacturing sectors. This paper, from the supply chain perspective, coins a new term 'cluster supply chain' that refer to industrial cluster and tries to explore its systematic structure. And we found, in the process of production, implementation of mass customization in cluster supply chain is more effective and more efficient and easier than in a single supply chain due to its unique driving model (2P&2BP: pull/push/burst power/bottleneck press) rather than conventional pullpush model, under which circumstances, SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) in industrial cluster would have chances to extensively participate cooperate with core companies in the form of supply chain, thus changing overriding views that implementation of supply chain management is a patent for big companies

This research studies the electronic commerce (EC) success factors of Chinese enterprises, and builds the assessment indicator system of EC success. Although there are already a large amount of similar researches in this field, the existing studies still have limitations. On the basis of literature review, as well as two rounds of survey to specialists, we propose 15 assessment indicators of EC success, and 33 impact factors affecting the EC success. The hypothesis is proposed that leadership, strategy, management, organization, technology, customers and supplier factors would affect EC success. Focusing on the Chinese publishing industry, we conduct the empirical study to verify this hypothesis. 305 questionnaires are sent out to the book publishing companies that have already implemented EC; 93 questionnaires are sent back. After regression and factor analysis, this research finds out several key factors and critical sub-factors affecting EC success

When software agents act on markets they typically face a predetermined market mechanism. Their strategies are a priori tailored by the agent designer to suit the market mechanism at stake. So, the market mechanisms are only considered and examined at design time. In this paper, we present an approach to how agents themselves can grasp market mechanisms at runtime, directly derive a valid interaction protocol and consider the mechanism structure for their strategies - even for mechanisms they have not known before. For exemplifying our ideas, we present a BPEL implementation of a reverse English auction that is based on the notion of an auction reference model and make the BPEL description available to the agent. We show how the agent will derive an interaction protocol - the valid behavior - and how it even forms a reasonable strategy when presuming some generic market knowledge and basic strategy building blocks
