A User Acceptance of Web Personalization Systems
Author: Dr. Fendi Ameen
Publisher: Iris Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Research on web personalization techniques for collecting and analysing web data in order to deliver personalized information to users is in an advanced state. Many metrics from the computational intelligence field have been developed to evaluate the algorithmic performance of Web Personalization Systems (WPSs). However, measuring the success of a WPS in terms of user acceptance is difficult until the WPS is deployed in practice. In summary, many techniques exist for delivering personalized information to a user, but a comprehensive measure of the success in WPSs in terms of human interaction and behaviour does not exist. This study aims to develop a framework for measuring user acceptance of WPSs from a user perspective. The proposed framework is based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). The antecedents of user accep- tance are described by indicators based on four key constructs, i.e. performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), and facilitating conditions (FC). All these constructs are underpinned by Information Systems (IS) theories that determine the intention to use (BI) and the actual use (USE) of a technology. A user acceptance model was proposed and validated using structural equation modelling (SEM) via the partial least squares path modelling (PLS-PM). Four user characteristics (i.e. gender, age, skill and experience) have been chosen for testing the moderating effects of the four constructs. The relationship between the four constructs in regard to BI and USE has been validated through moderating effects, in order to present an overall view of the extent of user acceptance of a WPS. Results from response data analysis show that the acceptance of a WPS is deter- mined through PE, EE SI, and FC. The gender of a user was found to moderate the relationship between performance expectancy of a WPS and their behavioural intention in using a WPS. The effect of behavioural intention on the use of WPS is higher for a group of females than for males. Furthermore, the proposed model has been tested and validated for its explanation power of the model and effect size. The current study concluded that predictive relevance of intention to use a WPS is more effective than the actual WPS usage, which indicated that intention to use has more prediction power for describing a user acceptance of a WPS. The implications of these measures from the computational intelligent point of view are useful when a WPS is implemented. For example, the designer of a WPS should consider personalized design features that enable the delivery of relevant information, sharing to other users, and accessibility across many platforms, Such features create a better web experience and a complete security policy. These measures can be utilized to obtain a higher attention rate and continued use by a user; the features that define user acceptance of a WPS.

Robot Oriented Design
Author: Thomas Bock
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107076382
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics series focuses on the implementation of automation and robot technology to renew the construction industry and to arrest its declining productivity. The series is intended to give professionals, researchers, lecturers, and students basic conceptual and technical skills and implementation strategies to manage, research, or teach the implementation of advanced automation and robot-technology-based processes and technologies in construction. Currently, the implementation of modern developments in product structures (modularity and design for manufacturing), organizational strategies (just in time, just in sequence, and pulling production), and informational aspects (computer-aided design/manufacturing or computer-integrated manufacturing) are lagging because of the lack of modern integrated machine technology in construction. The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics books discuss progress in robot systems theory and demonstrate their integration using real systematic applications and projections for off-site as well as on-site building production. Robot-Oriented Design and Management introduces the design, innovation, and management methodologies that are key to the realization and implementation of the advanced concepts and technologies presented in the subsequent volumes. This book describes the efficient deployment of advanced construction and building technology. It is concerned with the coadaptation of construction products, processes, organization, and management, and with automated/robotic technology, so that the implementation of modern technology becomes easier and more efficient. It is also concerned with technology and innovation management methodologies and the generation of life cycle-oriented views related to the use of advanced technologies in construction.

Design Transactions
Author: Bob Sheil
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1787355020
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Design Transactions presents the outcome of new research to emerge from ‘Innochain’, a consortium of six leading European architectural and engineering-focused institutions and their industry partners. The book presents new advances in digital design tooling that challenge established building cultures and systems. It offers new sustainable and materially smart design solutions with a strong focus on changing the way the industry thinks, designs, and builds our physical environment. Divided into sections exploring communication, simulation and materialisation, Design Transactions explores digital and physical prototyping and testing that challenges the traditional linear construction methods of incremental refinement. This novel research investigates ‘the digital chain’ between phases as an opportunity for extended interdisciplinary design collaboration. The highly illustrated book features work from 15 early-stage researchers alongside chapters from world-leading industry collaborators and academics.
