Recent studies have shown that advertising is not adding direct value for the advertisers only, but it creates significant additional indirect value and jobs while boosting innovation and creativity. In Europe online advertising has grown dramatically. It is expected that online advertising revenues will surpass television advertising in 2016. Online marketing in Macedonia is still in its nascent stage. It significantly lags behind countries in the region and far behind the developed countries in the European Union at all possible parameters. Online marketing ad spend in Macedonia is still very low. It is estimated to be 3% to 4% of total ad spending. The reasons why Macedonia's online marketing use is still very low, in spite of the relatively high level of Internet penetration and solid infrastructure, are numerous and multifaceted: distorted market forces, lack of official independent company that measures internet traffic, lack of knowledge on online marketing of Macedonian companies, legal framework etc. Policy makers in Macedonia could address the most important obstacles to increased use of online marketing by designing and implementing specific policy instruments and carrying out existing strategies in this area.","PeriodicalId":317605,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Information Society (i-Society)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129756779","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 advancement referred to as e-voting offers advantages than the paper-based voting system. The field of e-voting and especially m-voting is mostly an undiscovered sphere and its true extensity is still mostly uncharted. Very few countries have successfully implemented m-voting and diminutive research has been conducted to investigate the factors and components that influence the successful implementation of m-voting in the African context. Successful m-voting implementation depends on a collection of factors, which may be unique given the local context where it is implemented. This study found it vital to interrogate the literature to investigate common factors that may influence the successful implementation of m-voting. This paper documents a systematic review of various research studies seeking to find factors for m-voting implementation and collates results from 11 studies, where 14 common factors were found. The factors discovered for m-voting implementation include: ICT infrastructure, legal and institutional factors, security and trust, acceptance and adoption of ICT, political factors, voter education, finances and many other factors. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying key factors that affect the successful implementation of m-voting.","PeriodicalId":317605,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Information Society (i-Society)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128336791","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}

Our key question was to understand wide spreading and specificity of social practice of selfie. Using the iconographic method (E. Panofsky), we study visual content of selfie aiming to reveal the hidden rules of their reproduction. The results of an empirical study of random sample of 200 pictures are the following. First of all, selfie and similar visual practices are a means of gaining social approval and support. In order to provide the scientific view on the fascination with such practices the ways of information spreading as well as obtaining social support and approval must be taken into consideration. Secondly, in making selfie, the traditional function of photos such as preservation of memories of oneself at certain moment or memories of social circles together with situations is no longer important. Moreover, identification function of a picture is of fundamental importance, namely, obtaining social approval for the external qualities, imagination, compliance with standards of living, which are considered to be valuable and correct (for instance, geographic mobility, availability of exclusive places and things, originality).","PeriodicalId":317605,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Information Society (i-Society)","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128024695","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, this sharing may allow the behaviour of one component to affect the performance, resource consumption and access privileges of other components, for example, if the application fails to scale-up when the workload of one of the component increases suddenly. This problem becomes even more acute when components are associated with different or higher degrees of isolation among them. This paper presents a mathematical optimization model and a metaheuristic (based on simulated annealing) solution for providing near-optimal solutions for deploying components of a cloud-hosted application in a way that guarantees the required degree of isolation between the components. Our experiments showed that the near-optimal solutions obtained from our model had low variability and percent deviation, when compared with the optimal solution. We also provide some recommendations in deploying components associated with varying degrees of isolation.","PeriodicalId":317605,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Information Society (i-Society)","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121244525","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}
