This paper deals with the coordination issue of the whole channel for online game products. Firstly, the supply chain members and their operation processes of the online game industry are analyzed, and then a new supply chain contract model following the idea of revenue sharing model for online game products is given. Finally a concrete example is provided to show that current contract model in online game industry cannot achieve coordination and the profit in whole supply chain cannot be optimized, but by using the new model, the coordination of the whole supply chain can be achieved and the outcome of the whole supply chain is Pareto optimal.","PeriodicalId":431021,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Management of Innovation and Technology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126980216","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 situation of modularity is in a middle section of the complexity continuum. While study modular innovation in service product and process, we found there are many fields employed modularity, such as economics, psychology, design, and production, etc. In this paper, we investigate its common characteristics in cross-fields. Firstly, we establish a cross-fields union framework for modularity analysis based on multi-fields, which including function, structure, and interaction aspects. This framework is different from Baldwin and Clark's modularity 1-2-3 for purpose. Secondly, the common and difference of modularity in different social sciences are investigated, which involving labor division and industrial organization in economics, modularity cognition in psychology, and structuralism theory in sociology, etc. Thirdly, the common and difference of modularity in different nature sciences are investigated too, which involving electron industry, software engineering and OOP in software development, standardization and modular manufacture in machine, etc. Finally, we summarize the conclusions and hints under union framework. We found bus modularity is more common in cross-fields in Ulrich's modularity classification. And modularity is the signal of struggle between structuralism and synthesis thought.

However, software reliability could only be measured by software testing. If there are reliability faults in the completed software system, it would be too late to change the software design. What causes such situation is that we deal uneffectively with the software reliability management (SRM) in software life cycle (SLC). For avoiding this kind of situation, we proposed that the strict testing and manage of software reliability should be carried out at initial stage of software engineering - software requirements analysis (SRA). In this paper, we introduced two methods to implement SRM according with the different SRA models; one is based on structured analysis and the other is based on object-oriented analysis (OOA). By using evolutionary prototype, the software reliability quotas (SRQ) can be tested at the stage of requirements analysis.

Although qualitative results show that in general, users report a positive perception about technological and contextual features of mobile-ICT, such as technological adequacy for mobile work, swiftness and quality of service, information and communication access, relationships with colleagues, chiefs and external partners or the potential to foster daily timesaving; quantitative analysis unveils different using and learning patterns among knowledge-workers and traditional-workers.
