Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand and provide an empirical illustration for how electronic commerce (EC) tools are used to redesign business relationships. The amount and quality of EC tools have mushroomed and the use of these to redesign and digitize relationships is still a relatively under-researched area. Most of the current research is conceptual in nature and empirical...

Background. Nursing homes face challenges in the coming years due to the increased number of elderly. Quality will be under pressure, expectations of the services will rise, and clinical complexity will grow. New strategies are needed to meet this situation. Modern clinical information systems with decision support may be part of that. Objectives. To study the impact of introducing an electroni...

today, e-commerce has considerable portion in commercial businesses, and it has been developing. one of the most important steps in e-commerce is e-payment that has been done through different tools such as e-banking, and e-cheques. in this type of electronic transactions, there are always different worries both for payers and payees due to untruthfulness. for example, amount modifying, date mo...

Electronic technology has begun to change what information is available and how that information is located and used. There are already a large number of electronic projects in the humanities (see Getty, 1994). These changes are first related to remote access: Instead of traveling to the sources of information, scholars use technology to bring information to them. One important consequence of r...

Emerging e-commerce activity is giving scope for the design of many new protocols, and to gain confidence, these protocol need to be verified for its designed properties. Specifically protocol used in ecommerce transactions needs to be verified for their security properties. Verification of these protocols is done using the formal verification tools. AVISPA is one of the evolving tools used mai...

BACKGROUND Data entry at the point of collection using mobile electronic devices may make data-handling processes more efficient and cost-effective, but there is little literature to document and quantify gains, especially for longitudinal surveillance systems. OBJECTIVE To examine the potential of mobile electronic devices compared with paper-based tools in health data collection. METHODS ...

Business intelligence is one of the tools of IT in business and Information systems for management have been just developed theoretically, and have never fulfilled the demands of organizations, practically. The establishment and marketing of electronic insurance demands the readiness of tools and the foundation of IT. Business intelligence provides the managers with a collection of tools, techn...

The lack of integrated design tools for Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices has led us to develop tools for the design, modeling, analysis, and automatic layout generation of SAW devices. These tools enable rapid development of wireless SAW sensors. The tools developed have been designed to integrate into existing Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools to take advantage of existing 3D modelin...

Electronically photoexcited dynamics are complicated because there are so many different relaxation pathways: fluorescence, phosphorescence, radiationless decay, electon transfer, etc. In practice, to model photoexcited systems is a very difficult enterprise, requiring accurate and very efficient tools in both electronic structure theory and nonadiabatic chemical dynamics. Moreover, these theor...
