Graduate Students Attitude Towards E-learning

Abdullah Almobarraz, Ahmed Farag

https://doi.org/

Abstract In the past few years, a new wave of many technologies, particularly the Internet has emerged with the potential to further enhance the teaching and learning environment in higher education. Many studies in the recent years have shown that E-learning use in the classrooms has increased over the past years. However, the process of E-learning and its applications is limited... Read More


The Usability of a Virtual Restaurant Booking Web Site

Linda Lim

https://doi.org/

Abstract This paper encompasses the factors affecting the localisation and internationalisation of web sites, more specifically, a virtual restaurant booking web site. A subset of the key web usability issues derived was used in the experimental design and was known as web site variables. These variables were classified into Text Elements construct, Web Interface Elements construct and Web Design Elements construct.... Read More


An Integrated Design Scheme for Performance Optimization in Distributed Database Environments

Ali A. Amer, Hassan I. Abdalla

https://doi.org/

Abstract Among the techniques that the distributed database designer considers for performance improvement are fragmentation, replication and allocation techniques. Fragmentation is the process of dividing a relation into two or more relations called fragments. Usually two fragmentation techniques are considered, these are: vertical and horizontal fragmentation. A third rarely considered one is hybrid or mixed fragmentation. In this paper, vertical fragmentation... Read More


Recommendation Level in Faceted Classification for Documentary Classification

Manel Hmimida Manel Ankoud, Orelie Ddfrishes Doria Dicen

https://doi.org/

Abstract In the context of the National Agency of Research project “Miipa-doc”, we develop a new type of Knowledge Organization System (KOS) called Hypertagging based on the tagging of electronic documents and the principles of faceted classification. It was designed to simplify the tasks of information management for the organizations’ staff. In this paper, we propose a new recommendation model and... Read More


Scientists’ Collaboration in the Social Sciences Field Investigating the Determinants

Ines Belgacem, Moktar Lamari

https://doi.org/

Abstract In the current era of knowledge economy scientific productivity measurement has profound implications. Scientific collaboration is a core component in scientific collaboration measurement for which researches use a few determinants. We in this study have measured the scientific collaboration in Canadian Universities during the period 2002 and 2008 using Canadian Bibliometric Database (CBD) of the Observatory of Science and Technology...

Scientists’ Collaboration in the Social Sciences Field: Investigating the Determinants of Scholarly Collaboration in the Canadian Context 2001-2008

Ines Belgacem, Moktar Lamari

Abstract In the current era of knowledge economy scientific productivity measurement has profound implications. Scientific collaboration is a core component in scientific collaboration measurement for which researches use a few determinants. We in this study have measured the scientific collaboration in Canadian Universities during the period 2002 and 2008 using Canadian Bibliometric Database (CBD) of the Observatory of Science and Technology (OST-Quebec). Using an exploratory... Read More
