With the current emerging development pattern in Malaysia, E-Government has been unveiled by the Malaysian Government to be one of the multimedia super corridor flagship applications to implement digital technology to improve government operations. E-procurement was originally utilized by businesses to minimize turnaround times and prices, but recently it was often used as a platform…

The differences of stunting through socio-economic and productive indicators in high Andean community of Peru were evaluated ((11°42′58.16′′ S, 75°37′31.13′′ W, altitude 3470 m). Cross-sectional study in 52 mothers with children under 5 years old was carried. A validated nutritional survey was applied. Z-scores height for age and nutritional status were determined using anthropometric methods…

The need to optimally explore Nigeria’s diverse mineral resource endowments via sustainable value chain practices has, in recent times, been the focus of the Nigerian government and relevant stakeholders. This development has amongst other things, been made a necessity since the decline in Nigeria’s crude oil export and earnings, as well as the increased effort…

The digital factory is a concept signing a new era for industry, the so-called Industry 4.0, in which ordinary production systems like manufacturing plants, machineries and utilities are being equipped with diagnostic and sensitive instrumentation to be connected to digital shared networks. This data-sharing, trough the big data management techniques, is a fully integrated base…

Web services give a new view of the web as the biggest, widely accepted and the most straightforward distributed software platform. Their composition into applications and business processes is still a complex, non-trivial task, requiring highly rational efforts not only from the software developers, but from the quality assurance specialists. The provision if web service…

eHealth is the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to enhance health quality access. Health care innovations are an essential element of Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 operational plan that will lead to an improvement in the quality of health care in Saudi Arabia. The objective of this paper is to…

Companies manufacturing, using or transporting hazardous materials (HM) face risks at every link in their supply chain. Industrial activities related to this type of material expose not only the workers, but also the population and environment to serious risks. Logistic management and risk management are often considered independent. However, logistics choices related to hazardous materials…

The technological advance as well as needs of human beings made that systems became more and more complex. In contrast, the use and creation of new modelling languages became simple and no more reserved for a handful of language experts. Consequently, many new practices of systems implementation emerged, among them, the use of different domain…

There are various software related to the implementation of IT Service Management (ITSM) for a company, including those that are open source and commercial. An input is needed for companies in determining what software to choose from various software, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that have limited human and financial resources. In this…

This paper investigates the electronic book production and distribution practices adopted by the Publishers in Southeast Nigeria because of the global growing interest in writing new book titles in digital form as well as converting paper titles to digital content. To investigate this study, the researcher formulated three research questions to guide the study. A…

Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Single Sign on (SSO) are two security concepts that are related to each other. IAM governs the user access in an organization whereas SSO facilitates the user by authenticating to one centralized application and not having to re-authenticate when trying to access other applications. This paper addresses the different…

Reverse logistics activities are widely used application to preserve the environment in many developed countries from e-waste problem. Due to lack of public awareness in many emerging countries, implementation of reverse logistics program must be initiated by government. Besides that, reverse logistics practices often fail to balance among profit target achievement, the environmental conservation, and…

IEEE 802.11 WLAN indoor networks face major inherent and environmental issues such as interference, noise, and obstacles. At the same time, they must provide a maximal service performance in highly changing radio environments and conformance to various applications’ requirements. For this purpose, they require a solid design approach that considers both inputs from the radio…

Recent standards, legislation, and best practices point to data center infrastructure management systems to control and monitor data center performance. This work presents an innovative approach to address some of the challenges that currently hinder data center management. It explains how monitoring and management systems should be envisioned and implemented. Key parameters associated with data…

An empirical study that examines the usage of known vulnerable statements in software systems developed in C/C++ and used for IoT is presented. The study is conducted on 18 open source systems comprised of millions of lines of code and containing thousands of files. Static analysis methods are applied to each system to determine the…

Cloud computing is one of the largest emerging utility services that is expected to grow enormously over the next decade. Many organizations are moving into hybrid cloud/hosted computing models. Single cloud service provider introduces cost and environmental challenges. Also, multi-cloud solution implemented by the Cloud tenant is suboptimal as it requires expensive adaptation costs. Cloud…
