A multidimensional and hierarchical model of library mobile service quality

Purpose:Based on the understanding of the characteristics of mobile services(m-services)provided by libraries,we attempt to develop a multidimensional and hierarchical model and a specifically designed measurement scale for the assessment of libraries' m-service quality.Design/methodology/approach:The research has been conducted sequentially in two stages.At the first stage,a multidimensional and hierarchical model of library m-service quality and a measurement scale are developed through literature review and focus group interviews.At the second stage the model is tested using partial disaggregation technique for an analysis of the data collected from over 400 library users in 3 Chinese universities.Findings:The proposed model is shown to fit the data well.The empirical analysis provides strong support for the model,which includes 4 dimensions(service environment,service interaction,information control and service effect) and 12 corresponding sub-dimensions.Research limitations:The sample size needs to be enlarged and the user types need to be expanded to make the sample more representative.Practical implications:The study provides a conceptual framework and measurement tool that can help library managers understand the users' needs in the context of mobile network environment,and boost their libraries' competitiveness by carrying out better services to meet the user demands.Originality/value:The proposed model and measurement scale specifically designed for the assessment of libraries' m-service quality fully reflect the hierarchical structure of libraries' m-service quality.In addition,by using partial disaggregation technique for model testing,we believe our research can serve as a practical reference to those engaged in the development and examination of a multidimensional and hierarchical model.

Quality of Service and Security on Cisco Network Devices, Coupled with the Development of a Mobile Application Prototype Software for Server Room Temperature Monitoring

In an era where digital technology is paramount, higher education institutions like the University of Zambia (UNZA) are employing advanced computer networks to enhance their operational capacity and offer cutting-edge services to their academic fraternity. Spanning across the Great East Road campus, UNZA has established one of the most extensive computer networks in Zambia, serving a burgeoning community of over 20,000 active users through a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). However, as the digital landscape continues to evolve, it is besieged with burgeoning challenges that threaten the very fabric of network integrity—cyber security threats and the imperatives of maintaining high Quality of Service (QoS). In an effort to mitigate these threats and ensure network efficiency, the development of a mobile application to monitor temperatures in the server room was imperative. According to L. Wei, X. Zeng, and T. Shen, the use of wireless sensory networks to monitor the temperature of train switchgear contact points represents a cost-effective solution. The system is based on wireless communication technology and is detailed in their paper, “A wireless solution for train switchgear contact temperature monitoring and alarming system based on wireless communication technology”, published in the International Journal of Communications, Network and System Sciences, vol. 8, no. 4, pp. 79-87, 2015 [1]. Therefore, in this study, a mobile application technology was explored for monitoring of temperatures in the server room in order to aid Cisco device performance. Additionally, this paper also explores the hardening of Cisco device security and QoS which are the cornerstones of this study.

Auto-Scaling Framework for Enhancing the Quality of Service in the Mobile Cloud Environments

On-demand availability and resource elasticity features of Cloud computing have attracted the focus of various research domains.Mobile cloud computing is one of these domains where complex computation tasks are offloaded to the cloud resources to augment mobile devices’cognitive capacity.However,the flexible provisioning of cloud resources is hindered by uncertain offloading workloads and significant setup time of cloud virtual machines(VMs).Furthermore,any delays at the cloud end would further aggravate the miseries of real-time tasks.To resolve these issues,this paper proposes an auto-scaling framework(ACF)that strives to maintain the quality of service(QoS)for the end users as per the service level agreement(SLA)negotiated assurance level for service availability.In addition,it also provides an innovative solution for dealing with the VM startup overheads without truncating the running tasks.Unlike the waiting cost and service cost tradeoff-based systems or threshold-rule-based systems,it does not require strict tuning in the waiting costs or in the threshold rules for enhancing the QoS.We explored the design space of the ACF system with the CloudSim simulator.The extensive sets of experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the ACF system in terms of good reduction in energy dissipation at the mobile devices and improvement in the QoS.At the same time,the proposed ACF system also reduces the monetary costs of the service providers.

Network Coding and Quality of Service for Mobile <i>Ad Hoc</i>Networks

Network Coding is a relatively new forwarding paradigm where intermediate nodes perform a store, code, and forward operation on incoming packets. Traditional forwarding approaches, which employed a store and forward operation, have not been able to approach the limit of the max-flow min-cut throughput wherein sources transmitting information over bottleneck links have to compete for access to these links. With Network Coding, multiple sources are now able to transmit packets over bottleneck links simultaneously, achieving the max-flow min-cut through-put and increasing network capacity. While the majority of the contemporary literature has focused on the performance of Network Coding from a capacity perspective, the aim of this research has taken a new direction focusing on two Quality of Service metrics, e.g., Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and Latency, in conjunction with Network Coding protocols in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Simulations are performed on static and mobile environments to determine a Quality of Service baseline comparison between Network Coding protocols and traditional ad hoc routing protocols. The results show that the Random Linear Network Coding protocol has the lowest Latency and Dynamic Source Routing protocol has the highest PDR in the static scenarios, and show that the Random Linear Network Coding protocol has the best cumulative performance for both PDR and Latency in the mobile scenarios.

Mobile library service of the National Library of China and the provincial public libraries

Based on the methods of online investigation,questionnaires and effectiveness tests,we investigated the National Library and thirty-one provincial public libraries for evaluating current status of mobile library.Comparative analysis of mobile service was carried out between the public libraries of China and the top 25 US public libraries.The results reveal that:currently,mobile service in China is less widespread and the modes of mobile service mainly focus on WAP and APP;mobile libraries provide diverse mobile services and abundant library resources,and services are personalized and interactive.However,the process of mobile library service is not perfect.Mobile services lack innovation,and appear low awareness and insufficient effectiveness.Both Chinese and American public libraries have some advantages.Public hbraries in China provide more rich services and resources.Mobile services among US public hbraries possess more humanization and refinement,integrate with mobile terminals in better ways,and have a rich display collection information.

On service differentiation in mobile Ad Hoc networks

A network model is proposed to support service differentiation for mobile Ad Hoc networks by combining a fully distributed admission control approach and the DIFS based differentiation mechanism of IEEE802.11. It can provide different kinds of QoS (Quality of Service) for various applications. Admission controllers determine a committed bandwidth based on the reserved bandwidth of flows and the source utilization of networks. Packets are marked when entering into networks by markers according to the committed rate. By the mark in the packet header, intermediate nodes handle the received packets in different manners to provide applications with the QoS corresponding to the pre-negotiated profile. Extensive simulation experiments showed that the proposed mechanism can provide QoS guarantee to assured service traffic and increase the channel utilization of networks.

A QoS Aware Service Composition Protocol in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

A novel decentralized service composition protocol was presented based on quality of service (QoS) for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).A service composition in MANETs is considered as a service path discovery in a service network.Based on the concept of source routing,the protocol integrates route discovery, service discovery and service composition and utilizes a constrained flooding approach to discover the optimal service path.A service path maintenance mechanism was exploited to recover broken service paths.Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed protocol outperforms existing service composition protocols.

Activity-Based Costing of Library Services in Universities——A Case Study of a Private University

An organization’s costing system is a system that helps the management with the strategy planning while the system plays an important role in providing accurate cost information about the products and customers.In other words,the costing management system is important to provide timely and quality information to help managers in their decision-making process.Producing quality graduates is the main objective of any university and the cost of quality or the cost of poor quality is one that is often difficult to measure in higher education.This can be partly attributed to the fact that most accounting systems are not structured to capture important cost-of-quality information.In order to succeed,many organizations tend to shift from conventional or traditional costing system to Activity-based costing(ABC).ABC provides both higher education administrators and policymakers with better information on which to base decisions.The use of multiple cost pools and drivers under ABC leads to more detailed and accurate product costing than that provided by traditional cost systems.This paper attempts to investigate the possibilities and limitations of implementing ABC in universities.More specifically the study makes use of the case study method to illustrate the implementation of activity-based costing of library services in a private university in the Kingdom of Bahrain.The research methodology of the case study is a combination of both descriptive and quantitative analyses.The study identified six categories of cost pools which are related to the activities of the library as well as 17 relevant cost drivers.Accordingly,ABC should lead to a better understanding of what drives costs and,by extension,what changes are necessary to reduce costs.Unnecessary activities that do not add value to services can be identified and eliminated.Further ABC is feasible in an academic library and that much can be gained from the process of analyzing activities.However,more work needs to be done in terms of designing accounting and other information systems to capture cost and activity transaction data in a more routine and disaggregated form for ABC analysis.

The Application of Artificial Neural Network in Assessing Chinese Mobile Internet Service

This paper pays its attention on Chinese mobile Internet service( MIS). Chinese MIS is developing so rapidly that the research on the mechanism of the formation of MIS assessment makes significant sense and therefore the three layers construct of the artificial neural network( ANN) theory is applied to address the problem. The final research model contains MIS features including personalization,localization,reachability,connectivity,convenience and ubiquity as the input layer variables,perceived MIS quality and MIS satisfaction as the hidden layer variables and reuse intention as the output layer variable. MIS risk is identified as the mediating variable. Theoretically,the framework is robust and reveals the mechanism of how customers evaluate a certain mobile Internet service. Practically,the model based on ANN should shed some light on how to understand and improve customer perceived mobile Internet service for both MIS giants and new comers.

一种环境因素敏感的WebServiceQoS监控方法

面向服务系统的执行能力依赖第三方提供的服务,在复杂多变的网络环境中,这种依赖会带来服务质量(QoS)的不确定性.而QoS是衡量第三方服务质量的重要标准,因此,有效监控QoS是对Web服务实现质量控制的必要过程.现有监控方法都未考虑环境因素的影响,比如服务器位置、用户使用服务的位置和使用时间段负载等,而这些影响在实际监控中是存在的,忽略环境因素会导致监控结果与实际结果有悖.针对这一问题,提出了一种基于加权朴素贝叶斯算法w BSRM(weightednaive Bayes running monitoring)的Web Service QoS监控方法.受机器学习分类方法的启发,通过TF-IDF(term frequency-inverse document frequency)算法计算环境因素的影响,通过对部分样本进行学习,构建加权朴素贝叶斯分类器.将监控结果分类,满足QoS标准为c_0,不满足QoS标准为c_1,监控时调用分类器得到c_0和c_1的后验概率之比,对比值进行分析,可得监控结果满足QoS属性标准、不满足QoS属性标准和不能判断这3种情况.在网络开源数据以及随机数据集上的实验结果表明:利用TF-IDF算法能够准确地估算环境因子权值,通过加权朴素贝叶斯分类器,能够更好地监控QoS,效率显著优于现有方法.
