In today’s education scenario, educators intentionally and unintentionally use stories as part of their teaching tool to increase students’ understanding. While storytelling is widely recognized tool in classroom teaching, its implementation and acceptance in higher education institution in Malaysia is still unclear. This paper reports a case study that explores the perception of educators in the usage of storytelling as a teaching aid in courses at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. The objectives of this study are to explore the usage of stories and acceptance of stories as a teaching aid in lecture as well as issues faced by the educators in utilizing the storytelling approach. This study is an exploratory case study that uses a mixed method approach. Data were collected from June until December 2008 through interviews, questionnaires and non-participant observation. Results show that 67% of the participants have used stories in their lectures. Overall, the results indicate that the storytelling approach is practiced deliberately and in deliberately by educators. The usage of storytelling has raised a number of issues such as lack of understanding and lack of awareness of the approach. However, educators believe that storytelling can facilitate the learning process in higher education and encourage the critical thinking skills in students.

With the rapid development of Internet technology today, B2B E-commerce quickly grows up. Enterprises only have their own business system, is unable to meet the rapidly changing business needs, which bring by corporate merger acquisition and fierce competition. Enterprises must be able to face to the market quickly, find a better approach of information systems integration, so that suppliers and partners are more effective collaboration through the network. SOA including the protocols and standards are a new distributed scheme. The goal of SOA is to provide a common technology layer, which is independent upon languages and platforms. The applications of different platforms need this technology layer to connect and integrate with each other. SOA technology is used in E-commerce can be good to meet these needs. In the network era, B2B E-commerce is developing continuously. Although most of the corporations have accomplished the informational- action, they always are independently. How to integrate the systems of several corporations and use the B2B E-commerce systems synthetically becomes the most important problem. With the change from developing a new system to using existing systems adequately, the Service-Oriented Architecture becomes the best way to satisfy the new demand. SOA can increase reusability, reduce the total cost, Therefore, SOA has become an effective method to solve application integration. This paper provides first an overview of the B2B E-commerce, then a brief introduction of the key SOA technologies, and final a scheme of using SOA technologies to construct a B2B E-commerce model on the J2EE platform.

Automatic fingerprint recognition has been widely applied as a personal identification tool and biometrics applications due to their reliability and uniqueness features. One of the important tasks for any large scale fingerprint recognition system is fingerprint classification. Classifying a fingerprint images is a very difficult pattern recognition problem, due to the small interclass variability, the large intraclass variability, the presence of noise and the ambiguous properties of fingerprints. An accurate classification algorithm can greatly reduce the number of comparisons during fingerprint retrieval and consequently speeded up the identification process. Over the past few decades, a significant amount of researches and techniques has been proposed for distinguishing fingerprint classes. In this paper, we review existing approaches that have been applied to the classification problems. The explanation and discussion in this paper will cover the issues, designs and performance of several techniques for fingerprint classification system.

In this paper, two problems in publishing syllabus information for inter-university credit exchange systems are discussed. The first is overhead cost in preparing and publishing syllabi of the systems every year. The second is that the website presenting the syllabi lacks a search facility that allows a student to find the courses satisfied by complex search condition. In order to solve the above problems, an XML-based syllabus repository system (XSRS) which integrates syllabus data from affiliated universities is proposed. In order to minimize the impact of implementing this system on faculty staff operations, a technique that can extract syllabus data from the documents edited by some office software is also presented.

Innovation & creativity are the valuable intangible assets which play a vital role in the transformation of business & society. The emergence of globalization & increasing competition created a threat for the organizations to survive in market and innovation & differentiation became necessity to sustain economic development and competitiveness. Recessions and times of uncertainty present unusual opportunities. In these times, companies need to seize new opportunities not by retrenching, but by rebalancing: focusing on the right innovation projects and then executing those innovations more efficiently, effectively and creatively. Therefore every organisation wants to be more and more innovative. Innovation comes in many forms like product innovation, process innovation, service innovation, business model innovation etc but it is not so easy to become innovative. Many barriers exist in the way of innovation and one of the biggest & powerful hurdles to becoming more innovative is changing the corporate culture to accept and embrace innovation. The prevailing age of cost cutting and focus on process excellence have created in many firms a culture that is focused on the risk avoidance & operational excellence. For including innovation in the culture & to see innovation as one of the corporate objectives, it is required that the culture must change to accommodate the risk of failure and uncertainty along with the focus on innovation. This paper takes a brief look on the dimension of innovation and different forces & strategies that can help in shaping the culture to drive innovation. The focus is on the idea that how the people of an organisation may become more innovative.

Active database systems integrate event-based rule processing with traditional database functionality. The model most widely used to represent event-based rules is the Event- Condition-Action rule (ECA rule) model. However, the relationships among rules in the development of a base of ECA rules can fall in an infinite rule triggering: the No termination problem. In this article, an approach based in Petri Net theory is proposed. This approach detects cyclic paths in the base of ECA rules. Furthermore, it can analyze the relationships among ECA rule components.
