Technologies for E-Services


Book Description

Welcome to Free Convection Film Flows and Heat Transfer! Free convection ?lm ?ows occur in many industrial processes. However, engineers still have to deal with many unresolved problems. This book systematically summarizes my recent research results that have been referred to and cited by many other researchersinthis?eld.Thepurposeofthisbookistoprovideapracticalguide to university students, graduate students, design engineers, researchers, and scientistswhowishtofurtherunderstandthecharacteristicsoffreeconvection ?lm ?ows and heat transfer. I hope this book will serve as a useful tool for them, as well as a guide to future research. This book includes three related parts (1) accelerating convective bou- ary layers of Newtonian ?uids, (2) accelerating ?lm boiling and condensation of Newtonian ?uids, and (3) accelerating ?lm ?ows of non-Newtonian pow- law ?uids. These phenomena are all caused by buoyancy or gravity, and can be summed up in terms of the free convection ?lm ?ows. In addition, the free convection ?lm ?ows of Newtonian ?uids can be taken as a special case of non-Newtonian power-law ?uids.

Web Mining Applications in E-Commerce and E-Services


Book Description

Web mining has become a popular area of research, integrating the different research areas of data mining and the World Wide Web. According to the taxonomy of Web mining, there are three sub-fields of Web-mining research: Web usage mining, Web content mining and Web structure mining. These three research fields cover most content and activities on the Web. With the rapid growth of the World Wide Web, Web mining has become a hot topic and is now part of the mainstream of Web - search, such as Web information systems and Web intelligence. Among all of the possible applications in Web research, e-commerce and e-services have been iden- fied as important domains for Web-mining techniques. Web-mining techniques also play an important role in e-commerce and e-services, proving to be useful tools for understanding how e-commerce and e-service Web sites and services are used, e- bling the provision of better services for customers and users. Thus, this book will focus upon Web-mining applications in e-commerce and e-services. Some chapters in this book are extended from the papers that presented in WMEE 2008 (the 2nd International Workshop for E-commerce and E-services). In addition, we also sent invitations to researchers that are famous in this research area to contr- ute for this book. The chapters of this book are introduced as follows: In chapter 1, Peter I.




E-Government, E-Services and Global Processes


Book Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP TC 8 International Conference on E-Government and E-Services, EGES 2010 and the IFIP TC 8 International Conference on Global Information Systems Processes, GISP 2010, held as part of the 21st World Computer Congress, WCC 2010, in Brisbane, Australia, in September 2010. The 12 revised full papers presented at EGES were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on interoperability, participation, adoption and diffusion, back-end transformation, and new applications. The 6 revised full papers presented at GISP were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions. They are organized in two parts: global case studies on process design issues with four papers covering the contextual settings of Singapore, Kuwait, Finland and South Africa, and globalized process design with two papers dealing with the demands of large scale process models and a process design project covering two continents.
