People often donate money or goods to social welfare institutions. But it can take care of people is limited. And people who need help also can only help them by social welfare institutions. And related events such as corruption also emerge in endlessly. Let people love are overshadowed. According to the statistics, Global smartphone users will grow to 1.75 billion in 2014. It will continue to grow in the future. Therefore smartphone is an indispensable part of life. While most of social care related App are based on money or goods related function. The lack of identity recognition is to prevent the abuse of people love. Therefore, by smartphone immediacy, universal is not restricted by region. In this paper, we develop an “intelligent immediately help system”. In this system, we use image recognition technology, and use big data analytics way to complete identity identification and to increase the credibility of the case. Through the integration of GPS positioning and use 3D way to construct the helper's flow pattern. We design “Instant help machine” to help people instantly, which let people who is near can donated in “Instant help machine”. Members can use this system to login account and password to withdraw money or goods. It can immediately help who need help. “Intelligent immediately help system” also used mobile phone camera to the character recognition technology to read the receipt. Love correct help who need help. Finally, cases are in the cloud. It may be produce more privacy. In order to protect all the data in the cloud, we use cloud encrypted to prevent hacker intrusion.","PeriodicalId":182252,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Information Management (ICIM)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115484095","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}

A visual interactive system named TimeSprial is proposed on the basis of past cases and visualization methods in this paper. The system is designed based on the concepts of time granularity and time primitive, so as to explore correlation features and periodic trends of data dimensions through visual analysis. TimeSprial integrates various visualization layout methods of periodic data, such as ring diagram and curve graph, assisted by a variety of interactive models.

However, the two well-developed theories may not fully induce compliance behavior of ISSP given the growing trend of IS security violation in China. Deterrence and rational choice calculus employ an assumption of general awareness of ISSP to address compliance behavior. However, employees may judge their compliance behavior of ISSP in terms of positive and negative emotions but not the trade-off of benefits and costs (risks) only in the compliance. Grounded in regulatory focus theory (RFT), we propose a research model that addresses the motivational mechanisms for employees to comply with ISSP. We adopt a scenario-based questionnaire to survey employees of Chinese SMEs for model testing. The empirical results indicate that promotion-approach is better than promotion-avoidance in motivating compliance intention when employees are aware of the ISSP in their companies. However, promotion-approach and promotion-avoidance are ineffective in inducing compliance intention when employees are unaware of ISSP in Chinese SMEs. Information security awareness is not a necessary condition of the compliance of ISSP. Additionally, prevention-approach is better than prevention-avoidance in motivating compliance intention regardless of whether employees are aware or unaware of ISSP in the workplace. Our empirical results can provide meaningful implications for academics and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":182252,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Information Management (ICIM)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130032042","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}

We experimented with five virtual networks and analyzed the relationship between those networks' structure features and six typical link prediction algorithms by the experiment's data in this paper. We found that if the network's assortativity coefficient is positive and the clustering coefficient is greater than the threshold which is about 0.1, the algorithms based on local information would get higher prediction results, otherwise the based global information would be better. And the clustering coefficient and efficiency are proportional to the accuracy of algorithms based local information and are reverse proportional to the algorithms based global information. These conclusions provide the quantitative basis for selecting the right algorithms in link prediction application.","PeriodicalId":182252,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Information Management (ICIM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124123392","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}
