...1. Introduction Over the last three years the focus of the information technology industry has moved towards development for the World Wide Web (WWW). Information systems using WWW technology, delivered by an Intranet or via the Internet, are now prevalent throughout New Zealand and overseas. Within New Zealand, a wide variety of organisations are deploying information systems onto the WWW, including banks, government departments and other service providers. They are using the WWW as a strategic business tool, supporting their existing operations or providing a low-cost solution for delivering a new product or service line. 1.1 Proposition and Aims There is an abundance of information on the graphical and user interface aspects of WWW site design. In addition, a large body of knowledge has been developed in the area of software development methodologies. However, there has been very little research conducted to examine if these existing research methodologies are applicable to the information systems developed for the WWW. The WWW is a technologically dynamic environment, and presents new challenges for developers. In order to address the emerging WWW environment, a number of researchers have proposed software development methodologies specifically for the WWW. Consequently, the aim of this research was to investigate how organisations are currently developing WWW-based information systems, and the reasons why those methods are being used. This examination is important...

In this paper two approaches of implementing trust have been discussed. One approach is strong and secure i.e. Policy based systems, the other approach is more of a social approach which takes feedback from the users in order to build and maintain trust. Also discussed in this paper are pros and cons of both the techniques. Keywords-component; semantic web;Trust; Policy Based Systen; Reputation Based Sytems Introduction The idea behind semantic web seems great and offers a lot but why one should trust in semantic web. Who would trust such a system where anyone can say anything. We say that it is going to be a smart web, it will be intelligent and it will know the semantics. It will know what we are looking for. But what happens when a person says that x is yellow and another person says x is not yellow. Would semantic web fall apart? The idea behind SW is its authenticity of information which isn’t available in today’s web. Information comes from different sources which could be wrong or write and for a specific situation. So how are we going to determine which is reliable and whom should we believe? To tackle these...

...Human Resource Information Systems Abstract Over the past several years and maybe even decades, human resource managers have realized the need to upgrade their information systems. As they make the conversion to Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), the mangers encounter the challenges that others before them have seen. Although there are many resources of knowledge, tools and options, the managers face a long conversion process. Even with the tools at hand, the conversion process may fail. Working with the public sector, this paper will show how issues can be avoided and the conversion can be successful. Human Resource Managers of the public sector have the most to gain from closely examining outcomes of past projects since research suggests that only 18 percent of information systems projects ended successfully (when compared to private sector segments retail: 59%, financial: 32%, and manufacturing: 27%) (Goldfinch, 2007). Summary As the workplace becomes more technologically advanced, all departments must keep up with technology. Technology can increase the efficiency of a company. Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) has kept up with technology to improve the effectiveness of the human resources department and its systems, programs, policies, procedures, activities, and legal statistical documentation in its functions. This project will provide insight into the formation of the HRIS in the public sector and other organizations and how it can be...

In other words computer architecture is the design of the network base on the needs of the user, the system if it is there or needs to be built, and the technology that needs to go into the project. System design is all how all the hardware is set up while the instruction set architecture is the program language. Table of Contents Introduction What OS file system should we use? What types of processors? Cluster Architecture? Data Backup LAN or WAN Web-based diagram Introduction to Coast to Coast computing We can get in a plane and be across the country in a few hours but what if we need to work together faster than a few hours? Is it possible? How hard is it to have users in California work with users in Washington, New York, and Florida? What has to be done to make this happen? How secure will it be to have such a network? This and many other questions come up when a company starts thinking of expansion beyond the building or city they headquartered at. When looking at a network a business wants to be sure it is using the most cost effective form for the network. The base of a network is the architecture. For small businesses a peer to peer architecture would be best. There are three types of peer-to-peer architecture: collaborative computing...

...maintaining three different financial systems and each system has a different report format. Also when doing annual inventory there are three difference different systems and three different inventory procedures. As it stands, this affects the company because time is wasted on consolidating the information required for reports. It takes the IT Staff and the executive management nearly 4 weeks to produce end of the quarter reports. I recommend that we implement a web-based accounting system that includes an extensive database to help our accountants to do their quarterly report. This consolidation of information will help them tremendously in saving time on going through all of our financial information and creating reports. The software that I suggest is called Intacct. Intacct is a Web-based financial accounting software system with that covers a large set of functionality. It can support applications for core accounting, time and expenses, revenue management, project accounting, order and billing, purchasing, global consolidations, multi-currency management, and financial reporting. It can also be accessed on demand through a browser over the Internet (cite). As well the database used for Intacct is oracle (About Us: Learn more about Intacct, 2013). The web-based accounting system that we will implement will incorporate and combine the best of the 3 financial systems that we used before. It will hold all the necessary information needed for accounting (The cost, prices...

...5.1 Applications of Data Mining A wide range of companies have deployed successful applications of data mining. While early adopters of this technology have tended to be in information-intensive industries such as financial services and direct mail marketing, the technology is applicable to any company looking to leverage a large data warehouse to better manage their customer relationships. Two critical factors for success with data mining are: a large, well-integrated data warehouse and a well-defined understanding of the business process within which data mining is to be applied (such as customer prospecting, retention, campaign management, and so on). Some successful application areas include: • A pharmaceutical company can analyze its recent sales force activity and their results to improve targeting of high-value physicians and determine which marketing activities will have the greatest impact in the next few months. The data needs to include competitor market activity as well as information about the local health care systems. The results can be distributed to the sales force via a wide-area network that enables the representatives to review the recommendations from the perspective of the key attributes in the decision process. The ongoing, dynamic analysis of the data warehouse allows best practices from throughout the organization to be applied in specific sales situations. • A credit card company can leverage its vast warehouse of customer transaction...
