In this paper, our goal is to examine the factors of service quality and user's satisfaction in Software as a Service(SaaS). Based on the theoretical framework like service quality theory we develop and test a theoretical model, propose hypotheses and analyze the effects of SaaS' flexibility and customizability on the service quality and the satisfaction of SaaS' users. For this research, questionnaire survey was conducted with literature study and the PLS(Partial Least Square) was used to analyze the measurement model and hypotheses testing. The PLS analysis results indicate that SaaS' flexibility affects SaaS' service quality and the users' satisfaction and SaaS users' satisfaction is influenced by SaaS' service quality. Furthermore, SaaS' customizability affects SaaS' service quality, however, does not affect the users' satisfaction. Practical implications of these findings and future research implications are also discussed.

In this Paper, we propose metrics for measuring the complexity, customizability, and reusability of software components. Complexity metric can be used to evaluate the complexity of components. Customizability is used to measure how efficiently and widely the components can be customized for organization specific requirement. Reusability can be used to measure the degree of features that are reused in building applications. We expect that these metrics can be effectively used to quantify the characteristics of components.

Background: Radial head arthroplasty allows a high degree of customizability, and implant polarity has emerged as an important variable. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate differences in functional and clinical outcomes between patients receiving monopolar and bipolar radial head prosthetic implants. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were employed, and 65 articles were identified in three databases. Twelve articles contained non-English or insufficient text and were consequently excluded, and 20 others did not contain sufficient data or follow-up. The remaining 33 articles were qualitatively and quantitatively reviewed. Results: In total, 33 populations were identified, with 809 unduplicated patients: 565 with monopolar and 244 with bipolar implants. In these respective patients, the mean follow-up was 40.2 and 56.9 months. Average Mayo Elbow Performance Score were 86.7 and 87.4 (P=0.80), respectively; average Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores were 17.9 and 14.7 (P=0.47), and average final flexion/extension arcs were 119.4° and 118.7° (P=0.48). Revision rates were 4.07% and 6.56%, while complication rates were 19.65% and 20.08% in the respective monopolar and bipolar patients. These increased relative risks associated with bipolar implants were not significant. Conclusions: Radial head implant polarity does not appear to affect functional outcomes. While bipolar prosthetic design may increase the risks of revision and complications, the increases were not significant. Level of evidence: IV.

Smart wear integrates computing technology into fabric or a garment for additional functionality. This research explored the attitudes and opinions of the use of smart wear from the viewpoint of caregivers. Thirty two individuals including care providers of children and adult family members with health problems participated in focus group interviews. Participants reported being interested in smart wear because of the potential to detect the location (GPS) of a dependent (e.g., child, elderly) and to monitor vital signs. Participants indicated perceived advantages of smart wear such as identifying geographical location and effectiveness. Perceived concerns mentioned were privacy/security issues and accuracy of data. Participants taking care of dependents without a specific disease were hesitant to adopt and pay for smart wear. However, caregivers of elderly individuals expressed positive adoption intentions and willingness to reasonably pay for smart wear. They indicated expectations that potential insurance would provide coverage for cost savings. Caregivers expressed the need of specific requirements for future adoption such as customizability, and comfort/safety. Specific to smart wear clothing, most respondents preferred it be an undershirt or a jacket with a sensor located in the shoulder area. The findings from this study can be used in product development, promotion and marketing of smart wear.

Architecture-based competition has become a very important issue in many industries. As companies seek lower cost, fast development, and more customizability at the same time, modular architecture of products and processes seem to be an inevitable choice. Existing literature, however, has only focused on the basic contents of architecture-based competition. Different competitive environments and technological competencies of incumbent companies influence the evolutionary dynamics of dominant architecture of industries. In this paper we suggest a new theoretical framework to deal with the complex co-adaptation process of architecture-based competition. We first explore the emerging modular architecture in Chinese commercial vehicle industry, and then compare it with the architecture strategies of Korean companies. Based on the explorative case study, we propose new hypotheses relating the market demand, technological competencies of major players and dominant architecture in an indus-try.

As the number of users who are involved in a business process increases, it becomes imperative to effectively control their privileges of accessing sensitive data and information which are usually easily obtained by BPM system. Traditional RBAC (Role-based Access Control) model was first introduced to provide a logical framework to prevent unauthorized users from obtaining confidential, but in more dynamic environment such as B2B and SCM process, it usually lacks in capability of addressing such issues as configurability, customizability, or scalability of user privileges. In this study, we have proposed a privilege-template based RBAC model that can address such issues effectively. We also provided a design of the RBAC model along with illustrative examples and pseudo codes that can be used for implementing a prototype system.

Component-based Development (CBD) is gaining popularity as an effective reuse technology. Especially commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components are mainly for inter-organizational reuse, rather than intra-organizational reuse. One of the essential tasks in CBD is to reuse the right components that provide the functionality and interface required by component consumers. If candidate components provide a limited applicability and customizability, a component consumer cannot reuse the components in application development. To resolve this partial matching problem, we need smart connectors that fill the gap between candidate components and the specification of components required. Previous researches about smart connector describe only connector types to resolve mismatch problems. However, previous researches do not address the identification and design method to resolve the problems. In this paper, we suggest taxonomy of various mismatch problems to identify partial match problems between requirements of the application and components. We identify smart connector types and suggest a systematic process for designing smart connectors using the taxonomy. Therefore, components that have the problems can be used to develop applications.

In applying modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques to analyze complex discrete event dynamic systems, conventionally users had to use different simulation environments depending on the user-level. To solve the inconvenience, this paper proposes an integrated development environment for M&S depending on user-level and a formalized interface to manage the model in the development environment efficiently. The interface consists of an extended DEVS formalism and model making rules. The development environment is divided into a modeling environment and a simulation environment. In the modeling environment, three modeling methods are provided for each level of the users. Users inputs several parameters to the model generated as a result of the modeling process, and experiments in various cases by using the simulation environment. The case study shows the implementation of the proposed M&S environment, and using the implemented environment, it shows the M&S process of the complex defense combat system.
