Receiver-driven data delivery scheme is used for fast response to data transfers, and a priority based interaction model is adopted to identify the data priority. Three interactive parameters are introduced to prioritize and dynamically manage data queue. The experimental results show that it can ameliorate data delivery ratio and achieve good performance in terms of average delay.展开更多

The integration of them three is an inevitable trend of the modern IT industry. In this context, provincial broadcast groups are confronted with unprecedented challenges and opportunities, among which customers are a key element. This paper explores the customer-oriented sales management mode based on the marketized operation of provincial broadcast groups with Henan CATV Group as the illustrative case.展开更多

While there has been a proliferation in the implementation of marketing in the private sector, this paper provides a useful entry point for the understanding role of marketing within the nonprofit sector focused on China, the second worldwide economic power. A number of senior managers and directors from different Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) were interviewed of what they understood marketing to be and how they considered and implemented marketing within organizational strategy. The findings showed that while marketing was identified as an interesting and influential concept, Chinese nonprofit managers generally had a limited understanding of a marketing theory. The article further discusses reasons behind the dynamic based on personalized networks of influence used and the potential implications for nonprofit entities in China, a sector that plays a very noteworthy role in transformative economies.展开更多

Trust management becomes an essential component of MP2P networks to promote peer transactions. However, in an MP2P network, peers frequently join and leave the network, which dynamically changes the network topology. Thus, it is difficult to establish long-term and effective trust relationships among peers. In this paper, we propose a dynamic grouping based trust model (DGTM) to classify peers. A group is formed according to the peers' interests. Within a group, mobile peers share resources and tend to keep stable trust relationships. We propose three peer roles (super peers, relay peers, and ordinary peers) and two novel trust metrics (intragroup trust and intergroup trust). The two metrics are used to accurately measure the trust between two peers from the same group or from different groups. Simulations illustrate that our proposed DGTM always achieves the highest successful transaction rate and the best communication overhead under different circumstances.展开更多
