Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExploring Factors Influencing Financial Planning After Retirement: Structural Equation Modeling ApproachMd. Abdul Jalil, Dzuljastri Abdul Razak, S.M. Ferdous AzamThe study explores the critical factors that influence financial planning after retirement among Malaysians, an area which has somewhat been largely overlooked by the extant literature. The study has used a quantitative method to survey a sample of 170 Malaysian citizens, from various places in the Klang Valley area. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 20 Mar 2013 · 6,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Comparative Study of Enterprise Resource Planning Vs Service Oriented Architecture in Small Medium EnterprisesAli Taei Zadeh, Muriati Mukhtar, Shahnorbanun SahranProblem statement: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have such an important role in global success and become more complex over time. Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) follow large enterprises in using ERP systems while ERPs have not addressed the SME’s specific challenges such legacy systems as the main assets in SMEs that have not considered in ERP solutions as well as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 6 Aug 2012 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing Hyper Clustering Algorithms in Mobile Network PlanningLamiaa Fattouh Ibrahim, Hesham A. SalmanProblem statement: As a large amount of data stored in spatial databases, people may like to find groups of data which share similar features. Thus cluster analysis becomes an important area of research in data mining. Applications of clustering analysis have been utilized in many fields, such as when we search to construct a cluster served by base station in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 30 Aug 2011 · 7,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhanced Clustering Techniques for Hyper Network Planning using Minimum Spanning Trees and Ant-Colony AlgorithmLamiaa Fattouh IbrahimProblem statement: The process of network planning is divided into two sub steps. The first step is determining the location of the Multi Service Access Node (MSAN). The second step is the construction of subscriber network lines from MSAN to subscribers to satisfy optimization criteria and design constraints. Due to the complexity of this process artificial intelligence and clustering techniques … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Mar 2011 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Development of Ontology Suite for Software Risk Planning, Software Risk Tracking and Software Risk ControlC.R. Rene Robin, G. V. UmaProblem statement: Ontology as a conceptual courseware structure may work as a mind tool for effective teaching and as a visual navigation interface to the learning objects. Knowledge visualization is defined as the use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons. This study presents the design, development and visualization of ontologies for Software Risk Planning, Software … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 6,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the Groundwater Global Pollution Risk: Relationships with Territorial PlanningM. De Maio, F. Minucci, G. NocerinoProblem statement: The protection and enhancing of Groundwater Resources (GWR) at an international level have been studied extensively, but they have very rarely been considered in Territorial Planning and Urban Planning. Now more than in the past, thanks to the technologies and know-how acquired over the years, ignoring responsibilities with regards to the close link between these themes is no … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA GA Based Transmission Network Expansion Planning Considering Voltage Level, Network Losses and Number of Bundle LinesS. Jalilzadeh, H. Shayeghi, M. Mahdavi, H. HadadianTransmission Network Expansion Planning (TNEP) was studied considering voltage level, network losses and number of bundle lines using decimal codification based genetic algorithm (DCGA). TNEP determines the characteristic and performance of the future electric power network and directly influences the operation of power system. Up till now, various methods have been presented for the solution of the Static Transmission Network … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimulation Planning for Sustainable Use of Land Resources: Case study in DiamouDiallo Yacouba, Hu Guangdao, Abdurazak Hussien AbdulahiIn this study, we presented the simulation planning scheme to project land and land resources use changes at a local scale for Diamou (MALI). Problem statement: All the land cover types were under the influence of human and livestock population. Diamou has undergone changes in land-cover over the last decades. The shifting cultivation system practiced was probably the main reason … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Complexity Paradigm: Implications for Information Systems and their Strategic PlanningIndranil MukherjeeThe complexity framework was employed to analyse Information Systems and the strategic planning process associated with them. We provided an overview of the theories of complexity and their significance. The salient features of strategic planning for information systems were discussed and the need for a new paradigm, viz. complexity was pointed out. The concept of Class of a Complex System … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Mobile Robot Path Planning Using Genetic Algorithm in Static EnvironmentIsmail AL-Taharwa, Alaa Sheta, Mohammed Al-WeshahIn this study we present our initial idea for using genetic algorithms to help a controllable mobile robot to find an optimal path between a starting and ending point in a grid environment. The mobile robot has to find the optimal path which reduces the number of steps to be taken between the starting point and the target ending point. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 20,305 accessesView PDFCite
