Development of an intelligent e-commerce assurance model to promote trust in online shopping environmentMayayise, Thembekile Olivia 01 1900 (has links)
Electronic commerce (e-commerce) markets provide benefits for both buyers and sellers; however, because of cyber security risks consumers are reluctant to transact online. Trust in e-commerce is paramount for adoption. Trust as a subject for research has been a term considered in depth by numerous researchers in various fields of study, including psychology and information technology. Various models have been developed in e-commerce to alleviate consumer fears, thus promoting trust in online environments. Third-party web seals and online scanning tools are some of the existing models used in e-commerce environments, but they have some deficiencies, e.g. failure to incorporate compliance, which need to be addressed.
This research proposes an e-commerce assurance model for safe online shopping. The machine learning model is called the Page ranking analytical hierarchy process (PRAHP). PRAHP builds complementary strengths of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and Page ranking (PR) techniques to evaluate the trustworthiness of web attributes. The attributes that are assessed are Adaptive legislation, Adaptive International Organisation for Standardisation Standards, Availability, Policy and Advanced Security login. The attributes were selected based on the literature reviewed from accredited journals and some of the reputable e-commerce websites.
PRAHP’s paradigms were evaluated extensively through detailed experiments on business-to-business, business-to-consumer, cloud-based and general e-commerce websites. The results of the assessments were validated by customer inputs regarding the website. The reliability and robustness of PRAHP was tested by varying the damping factor and the inbound links. In all the experiments, the results revealed that the model provides reliable results to guide customers in making informed purchasing decisions. The research also reveals hidden e-commerce topics that have not received attention, which generates knowledge and opens research questions for future researchers. These ultimately made significant contributions in e-commerce assurance, in areas such as security and compliance through the fusing of AHP and PR, integrated into a decision table for alleviating trustworthiness anxiety in various e-commerce transacting partners, e-commerce platforms and markets. / College of Engineering, Science and Technology / D.

Interrelational Laboratory Information System for Data Storage and RetrievalGregory, Michael W. (Michael Walter) 08 1900 (has links)
The necessity for a functional user friendly laboratory data management program has become evident as the quantity of information required for modern scientific research has increased to to titanic proportions. The required union of strong computer power, ease of operation, and adaptability have until recently been outside the realm of most research laboratories. Previous systems, in addition to their high cost, are necessarily complex and require software experts in order to effect any changes that the end user might deem necessary. This study examines the Apple Macintosh computer program Hypercard as an interactive laboratory information system that is user-friendly, cost effective, and adaptable to the changing demands within a modern molecular or microbiology.

Factors that affect a school district's ability to successfully implement the use of data warehouse applications in the data driven decision making processDeLoach, Robin 02 August 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that influence the ability of teachers and administrators to use data obtained from a data warehouse to inform instruction. The mixed methods study was guided by the following questions: 1) What data warehouse application features affect the ability of an educator to effectively use the application for data driven decision making? 2) What sorts of training or professional development and workplace norms are needed to help educators use data warehouse applications more effectively? 3) How do differences in leadership affect an organization's use of data warehouse applications? 4) What, if any, impact has the use of data warehouse applications had on instructional strategies and student performance?
Forty-five teachers and administrators completed the survey. A focus group of four administrators and interviews with four teachers provided qualitative data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data. The qualitative data was coded in several cycles to determine common themes. The results from the qualitative and quantitative data were then compared to determine areas of similarities and differences.
The factors that influenced an educator's ability to use a data warehouse application to inform instruction included ease of use of the application, access to student data in a timely manner, and the ability to view data on individual students and small groups of students. The type of data most useful to the participants was summative and formative assessment data.
Training and workplace norms influenced the use of the application. The more training received, the easier the educators found the application was to use. Dedicated time to review data and the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues also enhanced the ability of educators to use the application to inform instruction.
Educators who thought the use of the application was important to building and district level administrators tended to use the application more frequently.
Based on the educator's perceptions, the use of the data warehouse application appeared to have some impact on influencing changes in instructional strategies. Any changes in student performance were attributed to the changes in instructional strategies.
Two unexpected findings emerged from this study. The ability to use technology affected an educator���s use of the data warehouse application. A greater comfort level with the use of technology in general was attributed to greater use of the application. Finally, educators needed to have sufficient skills in the use of data in the data driven decision making process to successfully implement the use of the data warehouse application. / Graduation date: 2013
