Enterprise systems are being transferred into a service-oriented architecture. In this article we present a procedure for the integration of enterprise systems. The procedure model starts with decomposition into Web services. This is followed by mapping redundant functions and assigning of the original source code to the Web services, which are orchestrated in the final step. Finally an example...

The success in the implementation of a quality computer assisted mobile learning and distance education in a Technology Enhanced Learning Management System is highly rely on the academic leadership in managing and application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the tertiary level. The effectiveness of its leadership, knowledge, application and management of ICT and learning man...

Recently, several document management systems supporting asynchronous cooperation over the world–wide web have been proposed. Such systems provide access controlled areas for sharing objects related to a specific topic among a group of people working together. Configuration Management Support is however not present or very much restricted in these systems. We argue that such support is necessar...

Using Web-based content management systems such as Blog, an end user can easily publish User Generated Content (UGC). Although publishing of UGCs is easy, controlling access to them is a difficult problem for end users. Currently, most of Blog sites offer no access control mechanism, and even when it is available to users, it is not sufficient to control users who do not have an account at the ...

THE CENTER for Curriculum Materials in Science (CCMS) and the Technology Enhanced Learning in Science (TELS) Center promote the design of curriculum materials and technology tools that help students develop an understanding of important connections among science ideas and the inclination and ability to use those ideas to make sense of the world. Researchers at both centers analyze the fragmente...

Introducing a new hobby for other people may inspire them to join with you. Reading, as one of mutual hobby, is considered as the very easy hobby to do. But, many people are not interested in this hobby. Why? Boring is the reason of why. However, this feel actually can deal with the book and time of you reading. Yeah, one that we will refer to break the boredom in reading is choosing profession...

The structure of print and on-screen documents is made explicit through headings and links. Three important concepts for understanding explicit structure are (1) the display-unit properties of each document medium, (2) the flexible relationship between explicit and implicit structure, and (3) the distinction between populated and unpopulated locations in a hierarchy. These concepts help us bett...

Most university e-learning strategies mandate the use of a centralized university-wide learning platform. The learning management systems typically employed in this function are “integrated” platforms, i.e., large-scale systems providing most common e-learning functions in a single application. There are, however, a number of issues with this type of systems: Due to their size and complexity th...

We examine quality issues raised by the development of XML-based Digital Score Libraries. Based on the authors’ practical experience, the paper exposes the quality shortcomings inherent to the complexity of music encoding, and the lack of support from state-of-the-art formats. We also identify the various facets of the “quality” concept with respect to usages and motivations. We finally propose...
