Especially, software start-ups have gathered a lot of interest due to a few successful examples, and the potential scalability of new business. A plethora of accelerators, events and communities has been found as well as new research agendas announced to boost and study the new phenomenon. The question, are software start-ups different, still remains unanswered. This study address whether software start-ups differ from the other kinds of new companies. We use the set of over 20,000 Finnish companies founded during 2010–2013 as an empirical material for our inquiry. To compare the financial performance of software start-ups and the rest, we use the current ratio, profit margin, revenue and return on assets as measures of financial performance. The results show that, indeed, software start-ups differ from the control group in the used financial indicators.","PeriodicalId":421648,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (ICE/ITMC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125348492","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}

Although different frameworks and methods have been used to evaluate the quality of online services e.g., SERVQUAL, SERVPERF and other practitioner-orientated tools, in this paper we propose the usefulness of importance-performance analysis (IPA). A major benefit of IPA is that it allows both importance and performance to be measured using a two-dimensional grid. More specifically, IPA is used to evaluate education online services in Malaysia from the user (citizen) perspective and to identify areas of strategic importance which can help to improve future online services in Malaysia. The paper raises the issue that despite the increased uptake of e-government in Malaysia, there is the need for more practical evaluation tools to gauge the perceptions of citizens in their use of e-government, particularly from an educational context.","PeriodicalId":421648,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (ICE/ITMC)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129705215","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}

It aims to reduce uncertainty towards the product within minimum time and resources by taking a holistic, interdisciplinary perspective on the product and iteratively increases knowledge by applying the scientific method to the domains of desirability, feasibility and viability. It crystallizes this knowledge by building prototypes and artifacts to disseminate it quickly throughout large teams. It integrates best practices from traditional mechatronic development (e.g. Munich Procedural Model) with methods inspired by lean startup, scrum and design thinking. It coordinates cross-functional teams and helps to identify critical functions in order to build the right things before building them right. TAF is applied wherever companies need to adapt to a changing market, where the current business model or rather product lost its viability and where mechatronic products are developed de-novo. In this study, TAF Agile Framework is deduced from the combined experience of 37 agile mechatronic development projects and evaluated with the results of 13 further projects during a two weeks lab course at TU Munich.","PeriodicalId":421648,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (ICE/ITMC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131695152","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 goes a step forward and introduces requirements/challenges for enabling a continuous process improvement. It means that a manufacturing system will be able not only to react on a problem at hand, but rather to sense the problem (in advance) and proactively resolve the situation. In this paper, we focus on a specific type of self-adaptive manufacturing systems, which are able to resolve the problems with the equipment in an autonomous way (the so-called self-healing). The paper describes the detailed design of the platform called PREMIuM for realizing self-healing manufacturing. The platform is based on our existing work related to the big data analytics, in particular D2Lab framework for developing industry data analytics solutions.

Countless innovations have increased the naturally given possibilities to move from one location to another. These typically being as fast, safe and comfortable as possible. Equipment such as horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, cars or airplanes have been invented and continuously developed over centuries. Besides that services for orientation, navigation, planning or insuring as well as devices for entertainment and communication have been added. Various sources of energy are powering this mobility. The band starts from the brawn of animals continued to the chemically stored energy in crude oil and further to an increased use of electrical energy gained from renewable sources. In order to provide and satisfy the need for modern mobility various products, parts, devices and data are necessary as well numerous players and stakeholders are involved. In the past major changes and innovations had been pushed by the providers of the equipment such as car manufacturers. However, at present and even more in the future it appears like prerequisites for such change have altered significantly due to the increased complexity of the context. The next major steps might be driven by integration of products and needs as well as the best access of services for the individual aiming for mobility. To understand the overarching interdependencies and impacts of all relevant products, services and players this paper proposes the metaphor of a Need-driven Ecosystem. In such ecosystem interdependencies, the continued development, resource competition, technical innovation and its impact on societies and individuals can be depicted, and better understood by role-players. Such approach will assist researchers in detecting interdependencies and impacts of their work better. An application to understand the complexities of individual mobility in a Mobility Ecosystem are shown.","PeriodicalId":421648,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (ICE/ITMC)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123478192","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}

The camera embeds on chip an image processing algorithm for real-time event detection, exploiting a dynamic background subtraction approach to identify the so-called hot-pixels, i.e. pixels undergone an intensity variation, and possibly corresponding to an abnormal action. Every time a group of hot-pixels is detected, the camera generates an alarm that can be sent to an external processor for further processing (e.g. scene classification) or to a surveillance officer to plan an intervention. The related frames are saved to be used as forensic evidence in a court. The presented vision sensor combines the image array with a bench of processors, frame buffer, timing control block and digital interface. Low-power performance is obtained through custom chip design techniques, combined with integrated image processing and different sensor operating modes to minimize the sensor average power consumption. The vision sensor performance has been evaluated by two European LEAs, which expressed a high level of interest in such a system and a positive vote about its event detection performance.","PeriodicalId":421648,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (ICE/ITMC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127399875","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}
