A trust management mechanism based on the jury system for distributed cognitive radio networks is proposed in this paper. The "jury user" is designed to collaboratively examine the reputation of the cognitive user in the networks and to perform data fusion and spectrum allocation for distributed cognitive radio networks. Simulation analysis results show that the proposed scheme can ensure accuracy and fairness in trust evaluation and improve effectiveness and flexibility of spectrum allocation.展开更多

Companies are under pressure from the stakeholders to engage in the line of social, environmental, and economical responsibilities. Until now, no research has been conducted on CSR performance using a dataset from the telecommunication industry in Sudan. Hence, this paper has investigated the strategic importance of CSR in a Sudan telecommunication company (Sudatel). In doing so, the paper has sought to understand whether the concept of CSR programs is featured in the company's culture and strategic plans or whether the management of the company is highly committed to CSR programs. Telecommunication companies are expanding in economic size. Considered as the largest industry in the world in terms of employment and the fastest growing area in business, there are many social and economic benefits and opportunities that can be created through investment in the telecommunication infrastructure, which has the potential to enhance sustainable development, especially for developing countries. To investigate this problem, a qualitative case study methodology is used to collect and analyze the data. Results indicate that the CSR concept is part of the company's strategic plan and given high commitment from the top management.展开更多

Internet-based healthcare is application of information and communication technologies across the whole range of healthcare functions. It covers everything from electronic prescriptions and computerized medical records to the use of new systems and services that cut waiting times and reduces data errors. Development and implementation of web-enabled communication, patient services and other e-health initiatives are increasingly important to maintaining competitive advantage and to compete for market share. More importantly, value added for patients by facilitating access to information and resources is expected to improve quality of services, speed of treatment and potentially to rationalize management of administrative processes. However, introductions of such e-healthcare services into market can be successful on condition that customers will recognize all these advantages and have trust in organizations provide theses e-services. In this paper authors will concentrate on customer trust as key factor determining success of e-healthcare. The purpose of this study will determine character and power of trust placed by customers in e-healthcare, and to identify factors influencing customers trust to e-healthcare. Authors have ventured thesis that customer trust to e-healthcare is high as consequence of even higher customer satisfaction with traditional healthcare services and great customer trust in traditional healthcare institutions.展开更多
