Whilst computers can and do contribute significantly to improving our use of sustainable materials and practices, computers themselves are responsible for the consumption of large amounts of such resources, contributing extensively to hazardous waste. The aim of this study is to develop a model for organisations to collect data regarding their end-user device implementation and identify areas f...

Over the past decade, hospitals in Greece have made significant investments in adopting and implementing new hospital information systems (HISs). Whether these investments will prove beneficial for these organizations depends on the support that will be provided to ensure the effective use of the information systems implemented and also on the satisfaction of its users, which is one of the most...

This paper proposed a revised technology acceptance model for measuring end user computing (EUC) acceptance. An empirical study was conducted to collect data. This data was empirically used to test the proposed research model. The structural equation modeling technique was used to evaluate the causal model and confirmatory factor analysis was performed to examine the reliability and validity of...

End-User Service Composition in Ubiquitous Computing Environments by Mark Webster Newman Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor James A. Landay, Co-chair Professor John Canny, Co-chair The era of ubiquitous computing is upon us. We are seeing a sustained explosion in the numbers and types of networked devices and services with which users can inter...

Cloud computing becomes more and more adaptive technology for the current computing world. In the cloud environment to provide infrastructure resources to the end customer they are using virtualization technology. Virtualization is built on a software module called hypervisors. By implementing virtualization in the cloud the same resources are shared among different end customers. This may lead...

The objective of this research is to examine satisfied and dissatisfied end users in an organization to determine if they hold different technological frames of reference towards end user computing (EUC). This research examines the effectiveness of the computer systems at the organization, while at the same time measuring the level of end user satisfaction with the EUC environment. Grounded the...

Context Awareness (CA) is an important capability needed in devices in a ubiquitous computing environment. Ubiquitous computing devices use different types of sensors along with the user’s interaction histories to collect and store data. This data is then used to adapt the user’s behavior to suit the current environment. End User Development (EUD) capability is an essential part of any flexible...
