From the physical book store to the online bookstore, business owners find a way to meet the demands of their prospective customers. The daily advancement in technology has brought about a huge change the operation of e-commerce. The development of the Progressive Web Applications (PWA) by Google has caused a revolution in mobile development. Using an online bookstore as a case study, this research work presents a PWA architectural framework that can be adopted by any e-commerce applications. This was achieved after a systematic review of existing online bookstore models was carried out – identifying the gaps which will serve as strengths for the proposed model. Also, the emerging technology of PWA was critically reviewed to solidify the proposed model. Adoption of the model will avoid current issues faced the world of mobile development especially code fragmentation. However, exploring the payment gateways and modules will help solidify the model.

As an important national strategy infrastructure, the Space Information Network (SIN) is a powerful platform for future information support. The architecture model of the SIN is of great significance to the construction and development of the SIN. For the problems related to the poor versatility, portability, and recombination of the existing architecture modeling methods of the SIN, in this paper, based on the Data as a Center (DaaC) modeling idea, we propose a reconfigurable model of the task-oriented architecture of the SIN. Combining with the typical characteristics of the SIN, and drawing on the advantages of activity-based flexibility, service-oriented integrity, and object-oriented reusability, we propose a DaaC modeling idea with space data. The DaaC modeling idea can solve the problems related to the poor versatility and portability of the SIN architecture. Based on the DaaC idea, we analyze the requirements of the task-oriented architecture, and define the basic concepts of SIN reorganization, including the reconfigurable target, reconfigurable scheme, and reconfigurable SIN. We establish the reconfigurable principles of loose coupling, compatibility, isolation, and deconstruction. Meanwhile, we analyze the realization mechanism and methods of the task-oriented reconfigurable model of the SIN based on DaaC. Finally, we take a typical SIN as an example, and make a case study on land-based anti-missile combat activities as the task background based on the DoDAF2.0 (Department of Defense Architectural Framework 2.0) framework and the STK (Satellite Tool Kit) simulation platform. The case results are consistent with the theoretical expectation, and it verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed method.

Modelling Application

Business Organizations increasingly rely on publicly accessible communication infrastructures such as the Internet and Cloud computing, in order to manage their internal processes and offer their services to financial actors, businesses and ordinary people worldwide. However, little attention has been paid to embracing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) philosophy for supporting business analysts in evaluating effectiveness and relevance of business information or finding patterns to direct them on more sources of data. This paper proposes a flexible architectural framework for modelling application services useful in supporting business decision processes. This architecture goes beyond the static schemas offered by data warehouse systems as it supports including data gathered from heterogeneous sources and added-value services offered in Internet or provided by Cloud infrastructures. Central to this architecture is the concept of dataspace as a reference model for structuring information relevant to a particular organization, regardless of its format and location. A case study of a real world implementation is presented dealing with supporting decisions in the real estate domain.

Organizational Needs

The goals of every organization are unique. As a result, it is difficult to find a single information technology (IT) governance framework that will embrace the functions of every organization. This is attributed to the primary reason why organizations tend to select various (multiple) IT governance frameworks, for your processes and activities. However, many organizations later realized that some of the frameworks are very similar (duplications), and others are inappropriate. This evidently and inevitably causes complexities, and negatively impacts return on investment in organizations. This highlights the need for an architectural framework that guides the selection and implementation of an appropriate framework, as presented and discussed in this chapter. The qualitative, case study, and interpretive methods and approaches were followed in conducting this research, which was to develop an architectural framework for the implementation of IT governance in the organizations. A South African organization was used as a case, focusing on the IT division. The data collection method presented in this research was semi-structured interviews. Through a framework, the chapter presents and discusses the fundamental factors that influence the selection and implementation of IT governance in organizations. The factors include organizational needs, managing, assessment, and innovation. These factors are influenced and interact with other tenets, which include adherence, competitiveness and sustainability, training and education, governance and compliance.

Connected Government suggests provisioning of a government's services to its citizens using the Web and communications technologies employing the latest software development paradigms and related methodologies. This also requires appropriate integration of, and interaction between, software applications and e-services developed by various government departments as well as the other influencing sectors of the society such as commerce. This is especially so as the connected government (c-government) applications require open, flexible, interoperable, collaborative, and integrated architecture to provide services for the emerging technologies such as mobile, cloud, and big data. This, in turn, suggests a robust and standard mechanism to develop such applications and services. In this context, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an attractive approach to adopt. SOA has already been proven successful in providing such a framework for delivering software applications as services with flexibility and multi-platform and multi-channel integration that are necessarily required for c-government application offerings. This chapter provides a discussion of the SOA paradigm and the associated citizen and administrative requirements. The chapter also presents a service-oriented architectural framework based on a set of evaluated application characteristics that support newer technologies. A number of service-component models have also been proposed that provide required customisation, reuse, flexibility, and extensibility. In the context of the proposed overall service-oriented architecture, a large-scale sub-system that the authors term “e-Taxservice” has been used as a case study. The study has a service design that has been validated against a set of key service quality attributes.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
