However, there are several disadvantages of current management of college associations, such as lax, labor-intensive, and time-consuming management. With the population of the mobile Internet, mobile phones become indispensable in daily life. In this paper, we attempt to explore mobile instant messaging to leverage management of college association. We use WeChat public platform, multi-tenancy, NoSQL, cache techniques to implement the recruitment, daily duty, online assignment, and sponsor management. WeChat public platform is taken as a bridge to connect with end users. Our system cannot only simplify the management of college associations, but also can make end users participating in association activities.","PeriodicalId":153535,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126902697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes a model for the supply chain under the e-business environment, which consists of three products and five trade services, including distribution, transfer, payment, sale, certification. We try to discuss the structural changes of e-business supply chain based on improved transaction efficiency. In addition, the optimum configuration in which the e-business enterprises choose which service to provide is explored. The results shows that, if and only if there is higher fixed learning costs and higher transaction efficiency, the supply chain will evolve from self-sufficiency to complete division of labor for products, online services and logistics services in e-business. Besides, a hierarchical logistics structure will emerge in the evolution process.","PeriodicalId":153535,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123986589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we proposed a methodology to discover knowledge from the history data and profiles of Web services, and then semantic annotate them automatically. With the proposed approach, semantic relations between Web services could be extracted by combining association rules and input/output matching. We also give a scenario to explain how the proposed methodology works.","PeriodicalId":153535,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128982129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trusted third parties work around these issues. However, identity-based encryption (IBE) systems and later attribute-based encryption (ABE) systems were designed to address these exact challenges. Unfortunately, such schemes became only practicable after public key infrastructures have been picked up by industry. In this work, we present our approach on standing the above mentioned challenges. We propose to utilize recent developments on centralized key storage solutions to bring the features of IBE/ABE systems to PKI-based IT infrastructures. We describe our IBE/ABE emulation approach, present our prototype and give a thorough security evaluation. We found that it is possible to emulate IBE/ABE schemes without compromising security.","PeriodicalId":153535,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134235805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, unlike relational databases, the semantic graph model lacks restrictive structure. Instead, the semantic data rely on an evolving schema. This resulted in a challenge for views materialisation while allowing for open repositories of data to emerge. Open repositories combine knowledge from many different areas. Therefore, it can be assumed that various data structures within a repository may exhibit different daily access patterns, i.e. That the user interests change during the day. This research verifies this assumption and proposes a new views selection model. By analysing how access patterns of individual views contribute to the overall system workload, the proposed model aims at selection of candidates offering the highest reduction of the peak workload. The proposed selection method has been integrated as a part of a new optimisation framework, which operates as a proxy for a SPARQL-enabled database. The approach has a potential to accelerate the adaptation of views materialisation for SPARQL. The proposed approach is evaluated both experimentally and using qualitative analysis.","PeriodicalId":153535,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on e-Business Engineering","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121355385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
