In major colleges and universities, in order to mobilize students enthusiasm for studying and participating in extracurricular activities, all colleges make an evaluation on students comprehensive quality and set different rewards regulations for the various level. The main way is to provide financial incentives, they distribute scholarship for students of meeting requirements. The Decision Tree algorithm is frequently used all the time, however, because of the tree node selected is based on attribute's mutual information, which will lead to some crucial attribute lost their decisive role. Therefore, in this paper, we focused on predicting whether students obtain scholarship on the comprehensive quality of students with Naive Bayes algorithm.

Today's Enterprises are facing many challenges in the service oriented, customer experience centric and customer demand driven global environment where ICT is becoming the leading enabler and partner of the modern enterprise. In the last decade, many enterprises have invested heavily in SOA-aligned IT transformations, but not harvested what SOA promised to provide. Now the API and Microservice paradigm has emerged as the "next big thing" for delivering IT outcomes to support the modern enterprise, with many technology vendors and service jumping on the bandwagon. This paper undertakes a critical investigation of the key concepts around SOA, API and Microservices, identifying similarities and differences between them and dispelling the confusion and hype around them. Based on our discussion and analysis, this paper presents a set of recommendations and best practices on the effective use and management of enterprise software components, drawing upon the best of SOA, API and Microservice concepts and practice.

In the competitive and low entrance barrier beauty industry, customer loyalty is a critical factor for business success. Research literature of customer relationship management recommends various factors contributing to customer loyalty in the general setting, however, there are insufficient studies empirically weigh the importance of each critical factor for the beauty industry. This study investigates and ranks empirically the critical factors, which contributes to customer loyalty of Online-to-Offline (O2O) marketing in the beauty industry. Our result shows that customer satisfaction, customer switching costs, customer trust, corporate image and customer value positively influence customer loyalty of O2O marketing and in the order of decreasing importance. Attributes contributing to the five critical factors have also been studied and ranked. Findings of this study can help the beauty industry to develop an effective O2O marketing plan and hence customer loyalty can be enhanced through the process of implementing targeted marketing activities.

Instance matching acts as a significant part of information integration in semantic web research. While ontology matching focuses on the schema level of data, instance matching deals with massive instances objects. Ambiguation is a common problem which may lead to error matching when different instances share the same names or descriptions. To cope with this problem structural approach is used by many matching systems for disambiguation. However, existing structural approach has a hidden problem named 'error propagation' which would affect the precision of matching result. In this paper, we investigate instance matching techniques and propose a new instance matching framework. It is based on a novel structural matching algorithm which calculates similarity separately on sub graphs. The structural information is fully taken advantage of to realize disambiguation and several indexing strategies are used to cut down the computing overhead. We have conducted experiments on instance matching benchmark and results show that our proposed matching approach is comparable to state-of-art systems. And experiment on real dataset has proved the validity of our approach in instance disambiguation.

An increasing amount of automated business processes and more intensive network communication among enterprise information systems leads to continuously growing amounts of data, which to understand requires to find cognitively adequate modes of representation. One is to use data visualizations. Support for efficiently selecting appropriate data visualizations based on specific information demands, however, is yet very limited. This article suggests a model infrastructure which allows to enrich syntactical matching patterns between data and visualization elements by associating Gestalt Patterns to both the characteristics of available data, and to visualization types. Based on these uniformly associated Gestalt Pattern characteristics, a distance measure can be computed between available data and available visualization types, which forms the basis for performing an automatic ranking of visualization types to support users in selecting visualizations appropriate to their information demands.

Electrocardiograms (ECG) contain biological information which is unique to the individual. In this paper, an ECG identification system, which uses Frequency Rank Order Statistics (FROS) as a feature extraction method and Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) classifiers to identify 'other classes', is proposed. FROS handle different ECG states and BPNN classifiers, with random input weights, are used to generate a relatively high accuracy model for the identification system. Additionally, in the output layer, classified patterns are categorized according to the maximum value of the output layer nodes. Similar data is grouped into one category for the final identification result. Experiments show that the BPNN classifier produces more accurate results than an SVM and Bayesian classifier achieve on average. The proposed approach also out-performs SVMNN and LVQNN. The identification system, put forward in this paper, may be applied to an intelligent vehicular system, as an application example.

In this paper we present a hybrid modeling approach which supports the continuous alignment of business and IT in the cloud. Business Process as a Service provides the end-to-end cloud support for business processes instead of single applications. A graphical modelling environment allows non-technical modelers to design business processes and to specify requirements in human-interpretable way. Via semantic lifting, the graphical models can be annotated with classes and values from an enterprise ontology. The BPaaS Ontology contains the relevant classes for the smart Business and IT-Cloud alignment. It supports the modeler in using a standard terminology and thus ensures consistent modeling.

The documentation of births has been started in ancient human civilizations. Today, each person holds many cards and documents such as ID, passport, driving license etc. The loss of one of these documents causes a great amount of work for the affected person and for many governmental and non-governmental offices. Starting the middle of the last century, mobility of people has increased dramatically. Trains, cars, airplanes and other methods of transportation facilitated movements of people around the world. Many hundred thousands persons are crossing the borders every minute. The necessity of tracking this movement and identifying people entering or leaving a country is essential, especially for security reasons. Therefore, authorities provide identified passports to be used, helping other authorities to recognize who is entering their territory. The I-ID is a global idea to supplement conventional identification cards (personal ID, health insurance cards, driving licenses, passports, etc.) with an IT based integrated solution where no need for paper documents. In this paper, after proposing the I-ID concept, and its technical feasibility, an IT solution to supplement conventional passports will be provided and investigated as a use case.

Enterprise systems engineering (ESE) is a multidisciplinary approach that combines traditional systems engineering (TSE) and strategic management to address methods and approaches for aligning system architectures, system development and system implementation with enterprise business rules, enterprise strategic objectives and enterprise capabilities within diverse complex subsystems. ESE therefore refers to TSE at the enterprise level. ESE is a complex approach by itself, but in this paper, we argue and illustrate that value from ESE thinking can be obtained without following the entire ESE set of processes. This paper presents two real-world examples that illustrate the potential value of applying ESE thinking and presents a number of lessons learnt in doing so.
