. Reputation systemsA reputation system is a way of measuring the reliability of ratings. Scores assigned byreviewers and metareviewers can be factored into a student's reputation. Several algorithms[4, 5, 6] have also been published for determining reviewer reliability, based only on thescores assigned by reviewers. These algorithms consider (i) consistency of scores assignedby this reviewer with scores assigned by others to the same work, and (ii) spread, how muchthe highest score the reviewer assigned differs from the lowest score (s)he assigned. Somealgorithms also consider (iii) leniency, the tendency of a reviewer to give scores that arehigher than other reviewers. Research [6] demonstrates that these algorithms provideeffective quality control

These principal ICT directly enabling modern E-commerce include Web-basedcomputing, mobile computing, and ubiquitous computing (Banavar & Bernstenin, 2002; Kannanet al., 2001; Samaras, 2002).The Web-based computing was implemented based on a wirednetwork using the Internet until the ability to connect started approaching physical limit-mobility.The mobile computing based on wireless infrastructure gave rise to a new S curve, with the newphysical limits being a higher level of ubiquity and embeddedness (Lyytinen & Yoo, 2002).Over the past decade, we have witnessed the rapid developments in ICT which have substantiallychanged the landscape of E-commerce.

Some these hands-on labs could be used as either introducing laboratory modules inexisting computer network courses or to aid in the creation of new stand-alone mobile andwireless networking course.Bibliography[1] Abbott-McCune.

The most pervasive ones are barcode, magneticstripe, and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID). Many experiments have been conductedwhen the barcode was first introduced in the 1940’s. The first patent of the barcode was in 1949by Bernard Silver and Norman Joseph Woodland 8. The first major application

from it. There is no doubt that it is a great idea toteach a data mining course in computer science curriculum. As you can tell, students taking adata mining course need to have background in quite a few areas to be successful. Not everystudent taking this course may have the background required in all these areas. The question ishow can an instructor remedy the challenge of teaching a group of students with widely-rangingbackgrounds, and at what level should this course be taught. Furthermore, the issue of groupwork arises, specifically as to whether data mining course projects should be accomplishedindividually or as teams.Studies show that many universities are teaching data mining course(s) within their computersscience curriculum.

forinstructors to imagine all the variations of how a word or phrase can be written. In the code,the list of alternatives becomes long, hindering readability. And still some correct answersare marked wrong. Either the instructor needs to examine each answer individually, or (s)heneeds to wait until students complain. There is no easy way out.When answers are longer than a single word, the difficulties compound. Many of myclasses involve programming. My students had problems with Moodle, which treatsembedded blanks as significant. For example, a blank after a parenthesis in an expressioncan cause the system to give zero credit for the answer. Moreover, several specialcharacters, including “” are discarded by the system1 before answers are graded.Worse
