This study aims at examining the effect of word-of-mouth communication through mini homepage on purchase attributes and mapping out a marketing strategy based on this. For this, it made an analysis of the communication level with 302 mini homepage users. The result showed that the communication level of information exchange has a positive effect on the purchase experience of food service products significantly, showing that the higher its level is, the more frequent its experience is. And it showed that the communication level of relationship retention has a negative effect on the purchase experience of food service products significantly, showing that the higher its level is, the less frequent its experience is. These results demonstrated the utility that can increase word-of-mouth communications through information exchange and relationship retention, given that they are used with the object based on the kinship of information exchange and relationship retention as word-of-mouth communications, and that they lay stress on the connection with other people in the mini homepage.

Exchange of product model data becomes a key issue in the globalized enterprise environment. Sharing heterogeneous information resides in diverse information resources is not easy. To share automotive product information among different organizations, a reliable neutral information standard and communication methods are needed. World wide sharing of automotive product information can be implemented based on the STEP AP214, the standard for exchange of automotive product model through its whole life cycle. This paper suggests an automotive PDM implemented on the internet and based on the STEP AP214. Physical files containing design data can be shared on the internet using JAVA applets and VRML.

As the interest in the business-to-business(B2B) electronic commerce is increasing, some companies are participating in the B2B eMarketplaces(electronic marketplaces). The eMarketplace has an effect on the method of B2B transactions or the purchasing performance. The academy and the industry are focused on the cause and the result of this effect. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of the relational exchange with eMarketplace on the purchasing performance, considering the supply externality and system integration as intervening variables. This study investigates the second-order effect of eMarketplace in which the degree of improvements in two aspects of purchasing activity(price reduction, purchasing efficiency) depends on the degree of the relational exchange with eMarketplace, namely, the governance of eMarketplace. Our hypotheses on this second order effect were supported. We found that the higher the relational governance, the lower in price reduction, and the better in purchasing efficiency. In more details, the high relational governance lowers the supply externality, and in turn deteriorates the improvement in price reduction. Meanwhile, the high relational governance accelerates the information system integration, and brings the better purchasing efficiency. Our findings suggest that organizations can improve their purchasing activities better if they choose the appropriate eMarketplace governance.

Construction industries have increasingly utilized Building information Modeling (BIM) technologies. Interoperability - the capability for BIM data to run from one computer application to another in the life cycle of a project - has become one of the principal research areas. Enhancing interoperability inevitably requires information structures that are standardized throughout the construction industries. As a candidate of the data exchange standard, Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) has been developed and several researches recently performed to measure its richness of digital data exchange. But doubts have been brought up whether IFC meets a sufficient level of interoperability since the research result revealed a number of cases of information misrepresentation and loss. This research presents the lessons learned from the interoperability tests of three widely used 3D design applications including Graphisoft's Archicad, Autodesk's Revit, and Bentley's Bentley Architecture. One building's architectural and structural design data were modeled with the three tools and exchanged through IFC respectively for interoperability test.

For efficient compatible system between medical clinics, the medical information has to be built on a standardized protocol such as a HL7 for text data and a DICOM for image data. But it is difficult to exchange information between medical clinics because the systems and softwares are different and also a structure of data and a type of code. Therefore we analyze a structure of DICOM file and design an integrated database for effective information sharing and exchange. The WISD system suggested in this paper separate the DICOM file transmitted by medical clinics to text data and image data and store it in the integrated DB(database) by standardized protocol respectively. It is very efficient that each medical clinic can search and exchange information by web browser using the suggested system. The WISD system can not only search and control of image data and patient information through integrated database and internet, but share medical information without extra charge like construction of new system.

The most important technology in the electronic commerce based on Internet is to guarantee the security of trading information exchange. Many technologies are proposed as a standard to support this security problem. One of them is an XML (eXtensible Markup Language). This is used in various applications as the document standard for electronic commerce system. The XML security has become very important topic. In this paper an XML security model for web services based electronic commerce system to guarantee the secure exchange of trading information. To accomplish the security of XML, the differences of XML signature, XML encryption and XML key management scheme respect to the conventional system should be provided. The new architecture is proposed based on unique characteristics of XML. Especially the method to integrate the process management system need to the electronic commerce is proposed.

We use a compound-cam twin arm structure and random tool access method to achieve a faster ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) system for the accurate position and rotation control of a tool magazine and an exchange am. Based on the data obtained from various sensors, it is possible to follow the sequence of commands in each control step for an exchange arm. However, it is not so easy to reduce the exchange time of the system because of the slow responses of the sensors and execution mode delays of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) scan time. In this paper, we propose a new programmed limit-switch position control method to obtain the shortest possible delays for the random tool access method and compound-cam twin arm structure. With some experimental results, we have achieved below 0.9sec tool exchange time with the proposed method.

The purpose of this conceptual paper is to identify the library services market and its characteristics versus the common commodity market so that marketing and management in library services can be more fruitful in terms of research and development. Based on the developed hypothetical market, a library services market is identified; the market is then characterized in comparison to the common commodity market using three theoretical characteristics of the library services market: indirect exchange, limited competition, and time-lagging exchange. Based on these characteristics, two possible research directions are suggested: development of goals for library management and consideration of applications in library marketing.
