Perpustakaan Universitas Riau dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Perilaku
Riau University library is a facility that managing and providing access to information services, resources, and knowledge that support teaching, learning, and research for the library users. The Existing of library building still not meet the functional requirements and user comfort. With presence of new library building planning in the University of Riau Masterplan year 2013-2033 became the reason for the design. Riau University library design is using the application of behavioral architecture approach with the intention that the designed libraries considering human aspects and behaviour. The concept that used in the design is behavioural accomodation. The design of Riau University Library is expected can meet the needs of user in terms of both function needs and users comfort by directing, and considering its behavior factor like privacy, territory, personal space.The results of the behaviour accomodation concept application contained in the design of Riau University library that includes zoning of function and behaviour, circulation that accomodate accessibility behaviour, indoor setting arrangement to accommodate behaviour and comfort, outdoor setting for outdoor actvity, form of mass wich is result from room setting, mass order inside the site, building structure, utilities that support function and comfort, building facades, vegetation and landscaping detail

The process begins with the design of the App. Once designed, it is explained the process of study and documentation of technologies to choose the technology stack that allows making an application robust and contemporary without use of licensing. After choosing the technologies to use there are explained the dependencies and needs to install runtime enviornments prior to the start of coding. Later, it describes how the code of the App has been raised and developed. The compilation and verification mechanisms are indicated in continuation. And finally, it is showed the result of the development of the App once distributed. Finally, a chapter for the conclusions analyzes the difficulties encountered during the project and the achievements, analyzing what has been learned during the development of this project
How Design Plays Strategic Roles in Internet Service Innovation: Lessons from Korean Companies
In order to survive in the highly competitive internet business, companies have to provide differentiated services that can satisfy the rapidly changing users’ tastes and needs. Designers have been increasingly committed to achieving user satisfaction by generating and visualizing innovative solutions in new internet service development. The roles of internet service design have expanded from a narrow focus on aesthetics into a more strategic aspect. This paper investigates the methods of managing design in order to enhance companies’ competitiveness in internet business. The main research processes are to: (1) explore the current state of internet service design in Korea through in-depth interviews with professional designers and survey questionnaires to 30 digital design agencies and 60 clients; (2) compare how design is managed between in-house design groups and digital design agencies though the case studies of five Korean companies; and (3) develop a taxonomy characterizing four roles of designers in conjunction with the levels of their strategic contributions to internet service innovation: visualist, solution provider, concept generator, and service initiator. In addition, we demonstrate the growing contributions of the strategic use of design for innovating internet services, building robust brand equity, and increasing business performance.

Risky business: when a CRM vendor masqueraded as an ERP specialist
Taking a social shaping perspective we unpack the development trajectory of a packaged software
product to show, that contrary to mainstream accounts, design is not completely specified a-priori and
that the process continues throughout implementation, and use. We show how developers, in this case
third party vendors, can continue to engage in shaping packages during implementation and also how
users contribute to the development effort. In particular, we illustrate how a customer relationship
management package application targeted at a particular organisational function was configured to
make an enterprise wide system and the key role of the vendor in this effort. To do this we refer to a 3-
year qualitative field study of an expanding United Kingdom based consultancy company undergoing
extreme ICT related change. This empirical research is used to explore an often ignored phenomenon,
that of the role of vendors in appropriating ICTs and the potential risks they bring. Through this, we
highlight the plight and responsibilities of low-level organisational actors in this process in
cognisance of the fact they usually have a minor role in ICT selection but become a major player in
dealing with vendors at the implementation stage when the devil is truly in the detail. The risks we
identify relate to: vendor sales pitches of products as specifically related to their capabilities and the
products they put forward; the calling upon of organisational resources by vendors; vendor
knowledge of the application are and the actual ‘social’, ‘technical’ and ‘organisational’ capabilities
of vendors to deliver a working product. We also point to the risks managers in vendor and consumer
organisations create by placing their staff in difficult conditions within appropriation processes. The
implications of our work centre on the need for further research related to: vendor/developer risks of
packaged software, custom and open source projects; notions of professionalism and ethics in the
software industry and project working conditions
Academic Panel: Can Self-Managed Systems be trusted?
Trust can be defined as to have confidence or faith in; a form of reliance or certainty based on past experience; to allow without fear; believe; hope: expect and wish; and extend credit to. The issue of trust in computing has always been a hot topic, especially notable with the proliferation of services over the Internet, which has brought the issue of trust and security right into the ordinary home. Autonomic computing brings its own complexity to this. With systems that self-manage, the internal decision making process is less transparent and the ‘intelligence’ possibly evolving and becoming less tractable. Such systems may be used from anything from environment monitoring to looking after Granny in the home and thus the issue of trust is imperative. To this end, we have organised this panel to examine some of the key aspects of trust. The first section discusses the issues of self-management when applied across organizational boundaries. The second section explores predictability in self-managed systems. The third part examines how trust is manifest in electronic service communities. The final discussion demonstrates how trust can be integrated into an autonomic system as the core intelligence with which to base adaptivity choices upon
Security and VO management capabilities in a large-scale Grid operating system
This paper presents a number of security and VO management capabilities in a large-scale distributed Grid operating system. The capabilities formed the basis of the design and implementation of a number of security and VO management services in the system. The main aim of the paper is to provide some idea of the various functionality cases that need to be considered when designing similar large-scale systems in the future
The RAppArmor Package: Enforcing Security Policies in R Using Dynamic Sandboxing on Linux
The increasing availability of cloud computing and scientific super computers
brings great potential for making R accessible through public or shared
resources. This allows us to efficiently run code requiring lots of cycles and
memory, or embed R functionality into, e.g., systems and web services. However
some important security concerns need to be addressed before this can be put in
production. The prime use case in the design of R has always been a single
statistician running R on the local machine through the interactive console.
Therefore the execution environment of R is entirely unrestricted, which could
result in malicious behavior or excessive use of hardware resources in a shared
environment. Properly securing an R process turns out to be a complex problem.
We describe various approaches and illustrate potential issues using some of
our personal experiences in hosting public web services. Finally we introduce
the RAppArmor package: a Linux based reference implementation for dynamic
sandboxing in R on the level of the operating system
Digital Scotland, the relevance of library research and the Glasgow Digital Library Project
The Glasgow Digital Library (GDL) Project has a significance over and above its primary aim of creating a joint digital library for the citizens of Glasgow. It is also both an important building block in the development of a planned and co-ordinated 'virtual Scotland' and a rich environment for research into issues relevant to that enterprise. Its creation comes at a time of political, social, economic and cultural change in Scotland, and may be seen, at least in part, as a response to a developing Scottish focus in these areas, a key element of which is a new socially inclusive and digitally driven educational vision and strategy based on the Scottish traditions of meritocratic education, sharing and common enterprise, and a fiercely independent approach. The initiative is based at the Centre for Digital Library Research at Strathclyde University alongside a range of other projects of relevance both to the development of a coherent virtual landscape in Scotland and to the GDL itself, a supportive environment which allows it to draw upon the research results and staff expertise of other relevant projects for use in its own development and enables its relationship to virtual Scotland to be both explored and developed more readily. Although its primary aim is the creation of content (based initially on electronic resources created by the institutions, on public domain information, and on joint purchases and digitisation initiatives) the project will also investigate relationships between regional and national collaborative collection management programmes with SCONE (Scottish Collections Network Extension project) and relationships between regional and national distributed union catalogues with CAIRNS (Co-operative Academic Information Retrieval Network for Scotland) and COSMIC (Confederation of Scottish Mini-Clumps). It will also have to tackle issues associated with the management of co-operation
