On Factors Affecting the Usage and Adoption of a Nation-wide TV Streaming Service

Using nine months of access logs comprising 1.9 Billion sessions to BBC iPlayer, we survey the UK ISP ecosystem to understand the factors affecting adoption and usage of a high bandwidth TV streaming application across different providers. We find evidence that connection speeds are important and that external events can have a huge impact for live TV usage. Then, through a temporal analysis of the access logs, we demonstrate that data usage caps imposed by mobile ISPs significantly affect usage patterns, and look for solutions. We show that product bundle discounts with a related fixed-line ISP, a strategy already employed by some mobile providers, can better support user needs and capture a bigger share of accesses. We observe that users regularly split their sessions between mobile and fixed-line connections, suggesting a straightforward strategy for offloading by speculatively pre-fetching content from a fixed-line ISP before access on mobile devices.Comment: In Proceedings of IEEE INFOCOM 201

A Process Framework for Semantics-aware Tourism Information Systems

The growing sophistication of user requirements in tourism due to the advent of new technologies such as the Semantic Web and mobile computing has imposed new possibilities for improved intelligence in Tourism Information Systems (TIS). Traditional software engineering and web engineering approaches cannot suffice, hence the need to find new product development approaches that would sufficiently enable the next generation of TIS. The next generation of TIS are expected among other things to: enable semantics-based information processing, exhibit natural language capabilities, facilitate inter-organization exchange of information in a seamless way, and evolve proactively in tandem with dynamic user requirements. In this paper, a product development approach called Product Line for Ontology-based Semantics-Aware Tourism Information Systems (PLOSATIS) which is a novel hybridization of software product line engineering, and Semantic Web engineering concepts is proposed. PLOSATIS is presented as potentially effective, predictable and amenable to software process improvement initiatives

A behavioural model of the adoption and use of new telecommunications media: the effects of communication scenarios and media product/service attributes

Recent years have seen the dramatic growth of new modes of communication. Above and beyond using land line and mobile phone for voice real-time communication, people spend increasing amounts of time receiving and sending messages through social networks (e.g. Myspace or Facebook) and also through real-time communication software (e.g. Skype or MSN). As indicated by the significant decline on the amount of call volumes of land line and mobile phone during the period from 2000 to 2006 in UK and in Taiwan, we conjecture that consumers are transferring to these new forms of communication in order to satisfy their communication needs, diminishing the demand for established channels. The purpose of this research is to develop a behavioural model to analyse the perceived value and weight of the specific media attributes that drive people to adopt or use these new communication channels. Seven telecommunications media available in 2010 have been categorised in this research included land-line, mobile phone, short message service (SMS), E-mail, Internet telephony, instant messaging and social networking. Various media product/service attributes such as synchronicity, multi-tasking, price, quality, mobility, privacy and video which might affect the media choice of consumers were first identified. Importantly, this research has designed six types of communication scenarios in the online survey with 894 valid responses to clarify the effects of different communication aims, distinguish consumers' intended behaviours toward these telecommunications media. --Multi-attribute choice model,Telecommunications media,Communication scenario,New product adoption,Substitution effect,ICT forecasting

PENGARUH KUALITAS PRODUK DAN PROMOSI TEHADAP KEPUASAN PELANGGAN (PERBANDINGAN TERHADAP PENGGUNA APLIKASI LINE DAN PENGGUNA APLIKASI KAKAO TALK)

ABSTRACT Firdha Farynasyari, 2015; The Influence of Product Quality and Promotion Toward Customer Satisfaction (Comparison Between LINE Users and KakaoTalk Users).Skripsi, Jakarta: Marketing Management Concentration, Management Study Program, Department of Management, Faculty of Economics, State University of Jakarta. Advisory: Dr. Mohamad Rizan, SE, MM & Agung Kresnamurti RP, ST, MM The purpose of this research are: 1)To know the description of product quality, promotion, and customer satisfaction of LINE Users and KakaoTalk Users, 2) test empirically the influence of product quality toward customer satisfaction of LINE Users and KakaoTalk Users, 3) test empirically the influence of promotion toward customer satisfaction of LINE Users and KakaoTalk Users, 4) test empirically the influence of product quality and promotion toward customer satisfaction of LINE Users and KakaoTalk Users. Object of the research consist of 135 respondent that already use both aplication LINE and KakaoTalk. The result of descriptive test shows that product quality and promotion from both aplication LINE and KakaoTalk still less so that customer satisfaction also less. The hypothesis test shows: 1) there is significant influence from product quality toward customer satisfaction (KakaoTalk: 43.4%; LINE: 30.5%). 2) there is significant influence from promotion toward customer satisfaction (KakaoTalk: 38.3%; LINE: 8.5%). 3) there is significant influence from product quality and promotion toward customer satisfaction (KakaoTalk: 48.5%; LINE: 33.3%).

Using Feature Models for Distributed Deployment in Extended Smart Home Architecture

Nowadays, smart home is extended beyond the house itself to encompass connected platforms on the Cloud as well as mobile personal devices. This Smart Home Extended Architecture (SHEA) helps customers to remain in touch with their home everywhere and any time. The endless increase of connected devices in the home and outside within the SHEA multiplies the deployment possibilities for any application. Therefore, SHEA should be taken from now as the actual target platform for smart home application deployment. Every home is different and applications offer different services according to customer preferences. To manage this variability, we extend the feature modeling from software product line domain with deployment constraints and we present an example of a model that could address this deployment challenge

ANALISA PANGSA PASAR OPERATOR SELULER DI KALANGAN MAHASISWA WILAYAH SURABAYA DENGAN METODE MARKOV CHAIN DAN SWOT

In line with the development of today's economy is increasingly dynamic, as a result of competition between firms are becoming increasingly stringent. Therefore companies need to periodically monitor the position of its products against competitors products in order to analyze its product market share and market share of changes that occur. One of the competing product is a GSM mobile operators for mobile phones. In Indonesia there are different kinds of GSM mobile operators for mobile phones that many people used them IM3, XL, Sympathy and Axis. These moments are the problems faced by manufacturers of GSM mobile cellular operators are the percentage of sales this product progressively declined compared to previous years. This decline occurred because many emerging mobile operators for a variety of products the new GSM phones. Given these problems then conducted research using Marcov Chain method to predict the transition of each product and the GSM mobile cellular operators using the SWOT analysis to determine appropriate marketing strategies in hopes of mobile operator GSM phone manufacturers. In the first period to period to 11 percent market share of mobile operators to brand IM3 is 43%, 44%, 44.6%, 44.9%, 45%, 45.1%, 45.2%, 45.2%, 45.3%, 45.3%, 45.3%; brand Sympathy at 27%, 27%, 27.2%, 27.4%, 27.6%, 27.7%, 27.8%, 27 , 9%, 27.9%, 27.9%, 28%; brand XL is 19%, 19%, 18.9%, 18.8%, 18.7%, 18.6%, 18.5% , 18.5%, 18.4%, 18.4%, 18.4%; Axis brand that is 11%, 10%, 9.3%, 9%, 8.7%, 8.6%, 8, 5%, 8.4%, 8.4%, 8.4%, 8.4%.

Sustainable and affordable prefabricated construction: Developing a natural, recycled, and recyclable mobile home

Outdoor tourism is a form of outdoor holiday that is growing rapidly today, and that stands out from other forms of tourism for its immediate relationship with the landscape which becomes for the tourist the main attraction of the holiday intended as a break from ordinary urban life. Outdoor tourism today represents a growing percentage in the tourism sector, in which mobile homes are the real players. Despite the considerable use of this product in open-air accommodations located in relevant landscapes, there is still no sensitivity in the constructive approach and in the choice of materials in terms of sustainability. In the open-air tourism sector, the lack of ecological sensitivity results from two levels of application: one regarding the whole settlement and the public spaces of outdoor accommodations and one regarding the mobile unit from the design to the production process. This paper will provide some practical strategies to introduce the ecological theme in the mobile home for the tourism sector. The research aims to analyze the production system of mobile homes in order to introduce alternative materials within the existing assembly line. The research demonstrates the possibility of a product being sustainable both economically and environmentally, healthy, and well-integrated with landscape by adopting an approach that makes it possible to use the same assembly line currently in use
