Texte intégralI dagens samhälle skapas det en enorm mängd data som är lagrad i olika databaser. Eftersom data i många fall är lagrat i olika databaser, finns det en efterfrågan från organisationer med mycket data att kunna slå ihop separerad data och få en utvinning av denna resurs. Extract, Transform and Load System (ETL) är en lösning som gjort det möjligt att slå ihop olika databaser. Dock är problemet denna expansion av ETL teknologi. ETL marknaden blivit ägd av stora aktörer såsom Amazon och Microsoft och de lösningar som erbjuds är helt ägda av dem. Detta lämnar konsumenten med lite ägodel av lösningen. Därför föreslår detta examensarbete ett ramverk för att skapa ett komponentbaserat ETL verktyg som ger konsumenter en möjlighet att utveckla en egen ETL lösning som de kan skräddarsy efter deras egna förfogande. Resultatet av examensarbete är en prototyp ETL-lösning som är byggd för att kunna konfigurera och skräddarsy prototypen. Lösningen lyckas med detta genom att vara oberoende av oflexibla externa bibliotek och en nivå av modularitet som gör addering och borttagning av komponenter enkelt. Resultatet av detta examensarbete är verifierat av ett test som visar på hur två olika filer med innehållande data kan kombineras.

Texte intégralUnique-Spaltenkombinationen sind Spaltenkombinationen einer Datenbanktabelle, die nur einzigartige Werte beinhalten. Das Finden von Unique-Spaltenkombinationen spielt sowohl eine wichtige Rolle im Bereich der Grundlagenforschung von Informationssystemen als auch in Anwendungsgebieten wie dem Datenmanagement und der Erkenntnisgewinnung aus Datenbeständen. Vorhandene Algorithmen, die dieses Problem angehen, sind entweder Brute-Force oder benötigen zu viel Hauptspeicher. Deshalb können diese Algorithmen nur auf kleine Datenmengen angewendet werden. In dieser Arbeit werden der bekannte GORDIAN-Algorithmus und Apriori-basierte Algorithmen zum Zwecke weiterer Optimierung analysiert. Wir verbessern die Apriori Algorithmen durch eine effiziente Kandidatengenerierung und Heuristikbasierten Kandidatenfilter. Eine Hybride Lösung, HCA-GORDIAN, kombiniert die Vorteile von GORDIAN und unserem neuen Algorithmus HCA, welche die bisherigen Algorithmen hinsichtlich der Effizienz in vielen Situationen übertrifft.
Mehar, Sara. « The vehicle as a source and consumer of information : collection, dissemination and data processing for sustainable mobility ». Thesis, Dijon, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014DIJOS069/document.
Texte intégralToday, vehicles have become more sophisticated, intelligent and connected. Indeed, they are equipped with sensors, radars, GPS, communication interfaces and high processing and storage capacities. They can collect, process and communicate information related to their working conditions and their environment forming a vehicular network. The incorporation of communication technologies on vehicles garnered a huge attention of industry, government authorities and standardizations organizations and opened the way for innovative applications that revolutionized the automotive market with the main goals to ensure safety on roads, increase transport efficiency and provide comfort to drivers and passengers. In addition, transportation is still an actively evolving sector. More sustainable means of transportation such as electric vehicles are introduced progressively to the automotive market with new challenges related to energy consumption and environment preservation that remain to be solved. Many research investigations and industrial projects are done to exploit the advantages of information and communication technologies (ICT) to fit with transportation challenges. However, having connected and cooperative vehicles creates a highly dynamic network characterized by frequent link breaks and message losses. To cope with these communication limitations, this thesis focuses on two major axis: (i) connected vehicle or connected mobility and (ii) sustainable mobility. In the first part of this thesis, data dissemination, collection and routing in vehicular networks are addressed. Thus, a new dissemination protocol is proposed to deal with frequent network fragmentation and intermittent connectivity in these networks. Then, a new deployment strategy of new communication infrastructure is developed in order to increase network connectivity and enhance the utilization of the network resources. Finally, a new routing protocol, for delay-sensitive applications, that uses the optimized infrastructure deployment is proposed. The second part focuses on sustainable mobility with a focus on electric vehicles and with the main objective is to reduce pollution issues and make better use of energy. A new architecture for electric vehicles fleet management is proposed. This latter uses the implemented protocols of the first part of this thesis in order to collect, process and disseminate data. It helps to overcome the limitations related to short autonomy of electric vehicles. Then, to meet energy balance challenges, a new deployment scheme for electric vehicles charging stations is developed. This solution helps to satisfy drivers’ demands in term of energy while taking into account available resources

Texte intégralENGLISH ABSTRACT: 'Housing' has been addressed as a basic human right. In South Africa this right has become a challenge, which cannot be met by the government alone. It also requires a vast contribution from the broader non-State (private) sector. This includes large companies who need to provide housing assistance to their employees. The aim of this research was to develop an educational computer programme which can be used by companies in their employee housing assistance programmes. The objectives of the research included establishing the extent to which companies provide employee housing assistance; the viability of an educational computer programme; the requirements of companies; criteria and content of a computer programme; and the development and testing of a pilot demonstration module of an educational computer programme for employee housing assistance. Exploratory research was carried out on a sample of 112 companies by means of both postal and telephonic questionnaires. The results of these surveys indicated that 41 of these companies have already established employee housing assistance, providing general information on housing and housing related issues. Most of these companies, however, are only offering financial assistance to their employees without the necessary education and training which should accompany it. A programme which provides these aspects benefits both the company and the employees and should be implemented by many more institutions throughout the country. The main findings of this research, indicated the viability of an educational computer programme and the surveyed companies were positive about using it as part of their employee housing assistance. Throughout the world, computers have proved to offer high-quality interaction and unique learning opportunities to users of varying levels of understanding. They have also demonstrated that they are convenient to use and assist in promoting effective management of time and finances. On the basis of the responses to the survey, essential elements of an educational computer programme for the use of companies in employee housing assistance were identified. A pilot demonstration module was developed using a holistic and didactically sound approach. The development of this educational computer programme, will allow lower income employees to receive beneficial housing assistance at their own pace and level of comprehension and education through an enjoyable and contemporary medium. The results of the initial (but limited) testing of the pilot demonstration module, suggested that there is justification for the further development of the programme and for research to be carried out to examine its effect in the private sector. This research sheds light on the present trends in the provision of employee housing assistance in the private sector and the positive contribution which companies can provide to the housing crisis in South Africa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'Behuising' word as 'n basiese reg van die mens beskou. In Suid-Afrika het hierdie reg 'n uitdaging geword wat nie deur die regering alleen aanvaar kan word nie. Dit verg ook 'n groot bydrae van die breër gemeenskap, veral die privaatsektor, en dit sluit groot maatskappye wat behuisingshulp aan hulle werknemers behoort te verskaf, in. Die hoofdoel van hierdie navorsingsprojek was om 'n opvoedkundige rekenaarprogram te ontwikkel wat deur maatskappye as deel van 'n behuisingsondersteuningsprogram aan hulle werknemers gebied kan word. Die doelwitte van die navorsing was onder meer om die mate waartoe maatskappye reeds behuisingsondersteuningsprogramme vir hulle werknemers aanbied, te bepaal. Verder is die lewensvatbaarheid van 'n opvoedkundige rekenaarprogram bepaal, asook die maatskappye se behoefte aan so 'n program. Daar is ook vasgestel wat maatskappye se menings oor die kriteria vir en inhoud van 'n opvoedkundige rekenaarprogram, wat as deel van hulle behuisingsondersteuningsprogram aan werknemers gebied kan word, is. Verkennende navorsing is onderneem met 'n steekproef van 112 maatskappye deur middel van telefoniese- en posvraelyste. Die resultate van hierdie vraelyste het aangedui dat 41 van die maatskappye reeds 'n behuisingsondersteuningsprogram aanbied wat algemene inligting oor behuising en behuisingsverwante aangeleenthede aan die werknemers verskaf. Die meeste van dié maatskappye, wat behuisingsondersteuningsprogramme aanbied, bied egter alleenlik finansiële hulp aan hulle werknemers, sonder die nodige meegaande opvoeding en opleiding. "n Program wat beide finansiële en opvoedkundige hulp aanbied kan maatskappye en werknemers tot voordeel strek en behoort landswyd deur baie meer inrigtings geïmplementeer te word. Die hoofbevindinge van die navorsing het getoon dat die opvoedkundige rekenaarprogram lewensvatbaar is, en die deelnemende maatskappye het bereidwilligheid getoon om so "n program as deel van hulle werknemers se behuisingsondersteuningsprogram in te sluit. Die ontwikkeling van die rekenaarprogram sal dit moontlik maak vir werknemers om op verskillende vlakke van begrip en opvoedingspeil, voordelige behuisingsondersteuning teen hulle eie tempo en deur middel van "n genotvolle en kontemporêre medium te kan ontvang. Dit is wêreldwyd bewys dat rekenaars hoë kwaliteit interaksie en unieke leergeleenthede op alle begripssvlakke kan bied. Daar is ook bewys gelewer dat rekenaars nie net gerieflik is nie, maar ook effektief met die bestuur van tyd en finansies is. Op grond van die vraelys resultate, is noodsaaklike elemente van 'n rekenaargebaseerde behuisingsondersteuningsprogram vir werknemers geïdentifiseer, en "n proefmodule ontwikkel wat gebruik maak van "n holistiese en didakties gesonde benadering. Die uitslae van die eerste (maar beperkte) toetsing van die proefmodule dui daarop dat daar regverdiging is vir die verdere ontwikkeling van die program asook vir navorsing om te bepaal wat die effek van so "n program op die privaatsektor sou wees. Hierdie navorsing het lig gewerp op huidige neigings in die verskaffing van behuisingsondersteuning aan werknemers in die privaatsektor, asook op die positiewe bydrae wat deur maatskappye gelewer kan word tot die oplossing van die behuisingkrisis in Suid-Afrika.

Texte intégralI investigate whether film at theaters consumers in two distinct time are different in their observable characteristics. My investigation is based on observable variables of consumers and non-consumers data from the Family Budget Survey (POF) of 2002/2003, when the use of broadband in Brazil was almost nil, and from 2008/2009, when it already was established in the country. This change in addition to the high degree of technological changes over the period provides a window of opportunity for our objective. Although methodologically it is not possible to full isolate the effect of Internet access on film consumption, it is expected that the higher the user access speed and the greater the evolution of file compression technologies, the faster and bigger will be the traffic of films files on the web. Accordingly, the greater distribution of content on the network enables the consumption of films in alternative ways to movie theaters. Thus, in addition to identifying possible changes in the profile of movie consumers at the theaters in Brazil since the popularization of broadband in the country, which can officially be considered in the year 2006, the study assess whether these consumers differ significantly from not consumers in their observable characteristics. The results points to several distinctions between cinema consumers and no cinema consumers

Texte intégralIn general, profiling sensors are low-cost crude imagers that typically utilize a sparse detector array, whereas traditional cameras employ a dense focal-plane array. Profiling sensors are of particular interest in applications that require classification of a sensed object into broad categories, such as human, animal, or vehicle. However, profiling sensors have many other applications in which reliable classification of a crude silhouette or profile produced by the sensor is of value. The notion of a profiling sensor was first realized by a Near-Infrared (N-IR), retro-reflective prototype consisting of a vertical column of sparse detectors. Alternative arrangements of detectors have been implemented in which a subset of the detectors have been offset from the vertical column and placed at arbitrary locations along the anticipated path of the objects of interest. All prior work with the N-IR, retro-reflective profiling sensors has consisted of wired detectors. This thesis surveys prior work and advances this work with a wireless profiling sensor prototype in which each detector is a wireless sensor node and the aggregation of these nodes comprises a profiling sensor’s field of view. In this novel approach, a base station pre-processes the data collected from the sensor nodes, including data realignment, prior to its classification through a back-propagation neural network. Such a wireless detector configuration advances deployment options for N-IR, retro-reflective profiling sensors.

Texte intégralThe paper presents a text analytics framework that analyses online reviews to explore how consumer-perceived negativity corresponding to the supply chain propagates over time and how it affects car sales. In particular, the framework integrates aspect-level sentiment analysis using SentiWordNet, time-series decomposition, and bias-corrected least square dummy variable (LSDVc) – a panel data estimator. The framework facilitates the business community by providing a list of consumers’ contemporary interests in the form of frequently discussed product attributes; quantifying consumer-perceived performance of supply chain (SC) partners and comparing the competitors; and a model assessing various firms’ sales performance. The proposed framework demonstrated to the automobile supply chain using a review dataset received from a renowned car-portal in India. Our findings suggest that consumer-voiced negativity is maximum for dealers and minimum for manufacturing and assembly related features. Firm age, GDP, and review volume significantly influence car sales whereas the sentiments corresponding to SC partners do not. The proposed research framework can help the manufacturers in inspecting their SC partners; realising consumer-cited critical car sales influencers; and accurately predicting the sales, which in turn can help them in better production planning, supply chain management, marketing, and consumer relationships.

Trouver le texte intégralDigital image processing techniques have many significant applications in industry. In this thesis, we focus on three problems in digital image processing. These three problems involve halftone images, information encoding and decoding, image alignment, and deep learning.
Specifically, the first problem is based on data-bearing halftone images, which are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to barcodes. We address the issues generated in the camera captured image alignment process. We perform some theoretical analysis and validate it by simulation. We also provide an optimal solution to the problem.
The second problem is about the alignment technique on a 3D surface. We develop a pipeline of surfaces coding to solve the alignment issues on 3D surfaces, which includes oblique surfaces and cylindrical surfaces.
The third problem is related to image retrieval. We propose a deep learning based solution to the fashion image retrieval task. Fashion image retrieval is significant to improve the customers’ experience in online shopping. A fast, accurate shopping item information retrieval system based on the customers’ uploaded image has been built by us. A novel solution is provided, and it achieves state-of-art accuracy in shopping items’ information retrieval.

Texte intégralTourism can be classified either as urban tourism or as rural tourism, and it is one of the fastest growing industries globally. Rural tourism is usually associated with rural development because it has strong linkages to rural resources; but it remains underdeveloped compared to urban tourism. This underdevelopment of rural tourism serves as a motivation for this study whose aim is to examine the factors affecting the perceived satisfaction of rural tourists especially in this digital world where Information Communication and Technology (ICTs) is pervasive. In fact, ICT has transformed the travel industry in a remarkable way. The objectives of this study were: I) to select suitable theories that can explain the perceived satisfaction of rural tourists; ii) to design a conceptual model of the factors affecting the perceived satisfaction of rural tourists; iii) to empirically test the planned conceptual model of the perceived satisfaction of rural tourists, and, iv) to recommend measures to be taken for the improvement of the satisfaction levels of rural tourists to the point where they can significantly contribute to the full development of rural tourism. These objectives were achieved using content analysis of existing literature on rural tourism satisfaction and through a survey of tourists from the Malealea Lodge which is located in the Mafeteng District, in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. The results of this study are the following: I) the push and pull motivation theory was selected to explain the perceived satisfaction of rural tourists; ii) rural tourism demographics, their push and pull motivation, and their level of ICT adoption were hypothesized as the factors that affect tourists satisfaction with their rural tourism experiences; iii) the satisfaction of rural tourists with their rural tourism experience is affected by their occupations (demographic factor), by their level of ICT adoption, and by their pull motivation; and this satisfaction is not affected by other demographic attributes nor by the push motivation of rural tourists; iv) it is recommended that rural tourism marketing be increased in order to attract clients from other regions besides Africa and Europe and other age groups apart from young Africans which were found by xiii this study to be the biggest rural tourism clientele group, and that peace and security be maintained in rural tourism destinations as these two attributes were found to have an effect on the perceived satisfaction of rural tourism. Finally, more research should be conducted on the effect of ICT adoption on rural tourism satisfaction.

Texte intégralBefore the Digital Era, the personalisation of a price to match a consumer’s willingness to pay was thought to be unattainable. However, this commercial practice can now be achieved through the processing of personal data and profiling of consumer behaviour utilising techniques related to Big Data and Big Analytics. This merited the attention of European Law, as shown by the new pre-contractual information requirement brought by the Modernisation Directive, currently awaiting transposition. Its wording is concise, and its context is expanded to some extent by the Recital 45, which points to the reason behind the need to inform consumers: to enable them to take into account the potential risks in their purchasing decision brought by price personalisation. This work starts by situating the matter conceptually, along with its economic background and the public’s general perception about it. The perspective presumes no prior distinction between personalised prices that are either higher or lower than the uniform fee, with a few exceptions highlighted when relevant. This choice is justified by the notion that in either situation, a business employing this pricing strategy is doing so with the goal of maximising profits. In the legal analysis, it is argued that personal data processing (such as behaviour profiling) is an essential condition for estimating the consumer’s reservation price. Thus, the General Data Protection Regulation is applicable. Additionally, the data subject’s consent presents itself as the sole viable lawful grounds for this specific purpose. One caveat of prices derived from profiling is the risk of hidden biases turning out to reveal it was, in fact, based on a protected characteristic. The issue of transparency is central to the investigation under a consumer law perspective, as this legal framework strives to enable individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions, while not hindering businesses’ autonomy. Another provision from the Modernisation Directive regarding prices’ transparency towards consumers is examined alongside the central topic – namely, price reduction rules, and their potential interplay. Lastly, the conclusive remarks offered point out that the new information requirement is a step in the right direction. However, it is necessary to broaden its scope to truly empower consumers to face the risks personalised prices could bring to their purchasing decisions.

Texte intégralOur connections to the digital world are invoked by brands, but the intersection of branding and interaction design is still an under-investigated area. Particularly, current websites are designed not only to support essential user tasks, but also to communicate an institution's intended brand values and traits. What we do not yet know, however, is which design factors affect which aspect of a brand. To demystify this issue, three sub-projects were conducted. The first project developed a systematic approach for evaluating the branding effectiveness of content-intensive websites (BREW). BREW gauges users' brand perceptions on four well-known branding constructs: brand as product, brand as organization, user image, and brand as person. It also provides rich guidelines for eBranding researchers in regard to planning and executing a user study and making improvement recommendations based on the study results. The second project offered a standardized perceived usability questionnaire entitled DEEP (design-oriented evaluation of perceived web usability). DEEP captures the perceived website usability on five design-oriented dimensions: content, information architecture, navigation, layout consistency, and visual guidance. While existing questionnaires assess more holistic concepts, such as ease-of-use and learnability, DEEP can more transparently reveal where the problem actually lies. Moreover, DEEP suggests that the two most critical and reliable usability dimensions are interface consistency and visual guidance. Capitalizing on the BREW approach and the findings from DEEP, a controlled experiment (N=261) was conducted by manipulating interface consistency and visual guidance of an anonymized university website to see how these variables may affect the university's image. Unexpectedly, consistency did not significantly predict brand image, while the effect of visual guidance on brand perception showed a remarkable gender difference. When visual guidance was significantly worsened, females became much less satisfied with the university in terms of brand as product (e.g., teaching and research quality) and user image (e.g., students' characteristics). In contrast, males' perceptions of the university's brand image stayed the same in most circumstances. The reason for this gender difference was revealed through a further path analysis and a follow-up interview, which inspired new research directions to unpack even more the nexus between branding and interaction design.
