The Internet of Things (IoT) has been developing rapidly in the past few years. In IoT, an enormous number of smart devices are connected to the network, where communication and interaction occurs extensively among end users, smart devices and Internet services. Due to the great diversity of devices, broader scope of interactions and other characteristics of IoT, current IdM model for Internet needs to be extended and improved. The objective of this article is to analyze the main features of IoT and key issues of the IdM for IoT, and then present an IdM framework for IoT, which consists of three parts: the standard information model, user-centric architecture and multi-channel authentication.

This paper presents a case study that explores the impact of a re-engineering project on a Small to Medium Enterprise in the United Kingdom as a means of delivering improved employee performance. In this paper, the link between the actions undertaken my teams of co-workers and the relationship with the environment provided by IT systems is considered. As an organization evolves over an extended period of time, both the IT systems and also the working practices employed to complete the day to day tasks essential to meet the needs of an organisation's customers, particularly in the service sector, rapidly become unfit for purpose. This soon becomes an issue both in meeting the needs of customers and also in meeting regulatory requirements. The case study considered in this paper reviews the requisite practices adopted by a service provider in the wet stock management industry, and the positive impact that the company realized through the re-engineering of both IT systems and business workflows. The central driver for the changes implemented was a need identified in the business to implement improved visualization of data relating to working practices in the organization and its clients. Through a regular review process, issues were identified in a key area of the business that impacted upon the time taken to complete essential tasks. The underlying reasons for this inefficiency were analysed and, through the Agile software engineering methodology, a solution was designed to resolve these issues.

Most existing approaches focus on examining the values are dangerous for information flow within inter-suspicious modules of cloud applications (apps) in a host by using malware threat analysis, rather than the risk posed by suspicious apps were connected to the cloud computing server. Accordingly, this paper proposes a taint propagation analysis model incorporating a weighted spanning tree analysis scheme to track data with taint marking using several taint checking tools. In the proposed model, Android programs perform dynamic taint propagation to analyse the spread of and risks posed by suspicious apps were connected to the cloud computing server. In determining the risk of taint propagation, risk and defence capability are used for each taint path for assisting a defender in recognising the attack results against network threats caused by malware infection and estimate the losses of associated taint sources. Finally, a case of threat analysis of a typical cyber security attack is presented to demonstrate the proposed approach. Our approach verified the details of an attack sequence for malware infection by incorporating a finite state machine (FSM) to appropriately reflect the real situations at various configuration settings and safeguard deployment. The experimental results proved that the threat analysis model allows a defender to convert the spread of taint propagation to loss and practically estimate the risk of a specific threat by using behavioural analysis with real malware infection.

Cross-border e-commerce is a newly arising and burgeoning model of cross-border trade. This paper qualitatively analyzes the reasons of cross-border e-commerce's emerging based on transaction costs theory. First, we introduce cross-border e-commerce and describe the supply chains of B2C and B2B2C cross-border e-commerce models. Then we give an overview of the development of transaction costs theory and analyze the composition of transaction costs from four different perspectives. Finally, we compare the transaction costs of three main cross-border e-commerce models to traditional cross-border trade based on the work above and draw a conclusion that the decrease of transaction costs is a fundamental cause of its development.

Effective business process management can reduce development cost, improve work efficiency, and reduce system errors. This paper defines multiple-domain matrix (MDM) extensions called the business process model and notation-MDM (BPMN-MDM) to analyze structures of and relations among processes modeled in the BPMN. The extensions were verified using workflow patterns, which are basic process elements to model processes and describe behaviors of business process executions. Most business processes can be transformed and described in the MDM by using activity and organization design structure matrices, which verify the effectiveness of the BPMN-MDM. A standard business process example was used and analyzed using the BPMN-MDM for illustration and validation purposes. By applying an organizational-activity MDM partitioning algorithm, coupled activities of each organizational member and coupled relations among members provide process structure information in a matrix perspective, which can serve as a basis to devise new methods and algorithms for process analysis and optimization.

The ability to model the tendency of both user preferences and product attractiveness is vital to the success of recommender systems, which is not covered well in the literature. It is challenging to learn a personalized tendency for recommender systems since users often leave feedback on an item only once and on only one period, i.e. The cold start transition problem. To tackle such a problem, we develop a novel probabilistic personalized and item-wise temporal model without prior assumptions on the structure of the dynamics, which solves the cold start transition problem by collaborative tendencies. The proposed method is evaluated on two benchmark datasets for recommender systems. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed models significantly outperform a variety of existing methods for the top-k recommendation task.

Aiming at the deficiencies of ant colony clustering algorithms in distance measure, convergence rate, similarity clustering, and other aspects, WALF algorithm is presented as an improvement to the LF algorithm. Using weighted hybrid distance as distance measure, and introducing the adaptive mechanism during the process of clustering, ant colonies can adjust the radius of neighborhoods dynamically and merge similar clusters in the process, meeting the clustering requirements while improving the convergence speed. Finally WALF algorithm has been shown through experiments to be better than LF algorithm both in clustering results and efficiency.

E-commerce applications is a typical scale collaborative application, which includes many complex trading processes and small applications, such as portals of buyers and sellers, product management, online payment and billing, logistics system, and so on. But it is a challenge to develop such large-scale collaborative application using traditional method starting from scratch, since many application collaboration technologies should be solved, such as application collaboration relationship management and customization, collaboration application execution scheduling, and so on. Cloud and PaaS (Platform as a Service) service model provide a new opportunity for this problem solution. So, a method of trading process construction based on PaaS (Platform as a Service) platform supporting applications collaboration is proposed. Both ISV and ecommerce operator can construct collaborative applications easily. This method contains two aspects: one is the application collaboration semantic meta-model, the other is the method of trading process construction. The application collaboration semantic meta-model is used to be a container in e-commerce PaaS to specify each kind of E-commerce application attributes and relationships between one application and the others. Based on the application collaboration semantic meta-model, PaaS platform can automatically construct a whole customized e-commerce collaboration application according to e-commerce operators' requirements. This method is based on HTN (Hierarchical Task Network) planning theory. In the end, through cases analysis, the proposed PaaS platform and method is proved to construct a variety of collaboration applications easily based on the application collaboration semantic meta-model.
电子商务应用程序是典型的规模协作应用程序，它包括许多复杂的交易流程和小型应用程序，如买卖双方的门户、产品管理、在线支付和计费、物流系统等。但是，使用传统方法从零开始开发这种大规模的协作应用程序是一个挑战，因为需要解决许多应用程序协作技术，如应用程序协作关系管理和定制、协作应用程序执行调度等。云和PaaS(平台即服务)服务模型为这个问题的解决提供了新的机会。为此，提出了一种基于PaaS (Platform as a Service)平台支持应用协作的交易流程构建方法。ISV和电子商务运营商都可以轻松地构建协作应用程序。该方法包括两个方面:一是应用协同语义元模型，二是交易流程构建方法。应用协作语义元模型用作电子商务PaaS中的容器，用于指定每种电子商务应用程序的属性以及应用程序之间的关系。PaaS平台基于应用协同语义元模型，可以根据电子商务运营商的需求，自动构建完整的定制化电子商务协同应用。该方法基于HTN (Hierarchical Task Network)规划理论。最后，通过案例分析，证明了基于应用协作语义元模型的PaaS平台和方法可以方便地构建各种协作应用。

As the "bag of words" approaches cut down the linkage between the words, they are hardly to be applied to explore the causal relations between the terms described from the text corpuses. To discover the networked causal knowledge from the corpus, we (1) propose the algorithm pv-swapping and the PV-parse-tree to adjust the term orders for the sentences by observing the relationship between the grammatical voice and causal relation, provide the NLP approaches to transform the corpus to the sets of ordered terms sequences (OTS) by preserving the semantic orders of the phrases in the sentences, (2) formalize the causal network extracting problem in the corpus and show that it is a NP-hard problem, (3) propose the algorithms NE-IC and heuristic-majority-vote to extract the causal network of the terms based on the OTS sequences. We provide sufficient experiments on the real data sets. The experimental results show that our methods are both effective and efficient to discover the causal network of the terms, and the resulted causal networks of heuristic-majority-vote with less conflict causal relations or cycles than the results of NE-IC. At the last, we also provide experiments on several causal knowledge discovering tasks based on the resulted causal networks to show their interesting applications.
