- Description: Treatment refers to the therapy to treat a disease or a health issue. Treatment in this situation is similar to medical treatment which mainly uses medicines in an attempt to relieve the pain or even stop the disease. However, medicines themselves could not entirely cure the disease (in this case, diabetes), the patients will need more intervention which will be introduced in the next section. In most of documents for diabetic treatment, insulin therapy may be the main factor, however it would seem that diabetic patient needs more than just insulin. Therefore, TCM – traditional Chinese medicine – is recommended in the diabetic treatment as a lot of its remedies not only adjust insulin but also maintain good health for the patients. This section presents some of the TCM remedies to treat diabetes. As mentioned, diabetic patients are treated by lifestyle intervention and insulin therapy according to their diabetic status. The prevalence of diabetes and its complications leads to the requirement of treatment and care plan. Guidelines for T2D treatment indicated the following primary areas: lifestyle improvement which involves at least two and half hours of physical operations every week, dietary plan which decreases the fat intake, and weight management which requires weight loss approximately 7% of the baseline weight; cardiovascular risk factor reduction by managing blood pressure, cholesterol level, control smoking status, hypertension; and blood glucose management such as mono-therapy methods using oral medications to reduce A1c levels (Ripsin, Kang, & Urban, 2009). Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels for T2D treatment is also suggested. The self-monitoring of blood glucose method is recommended because it could enhance the patients’ self-consciousness of managing their diabetic status and require greater behaviours, responsibilities and efforts. Besides, this method is cost-effective in long term for diabetic complications treatment (Szymborska-Kajaneka, Psureka, Heseb, & Strojek, 2009). Another related study recommended that for T2D patients who are using insulin, self-monitoring of blood glucose should be carried out daily at least three times; and for patients without insulin usage the frequency of blood glucose self-monitoring should be adjusted individually (Varanauskiene, 2008). Both studies indicate that there have been controversies whether self-monitoring of blood glucose is useful for T2D patients without insulin treatment. We recommend traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as the major medicine for treating diabetes according to a report of natural Chinese medicines (Li, Zheng, Bukuru, & Kimpe, 2004) which indicates the results from many cases in various research and medical activities.

- Description: The concept of friend and friendship are critical to both theoretical and empirical studies of social relations, social media and social networks. Measuring the closeness among friends is a big issue for developing online social networking services (SNS) such as Facebook. This paper will address this issue by proposing a technique for ranking friendship closeness in SNS. The technique consists of an algorithm for ranking need-driven friendship closeness and an algorithm for behaviour-based friendship closeness in online social networking sites. The former is based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, while the latter is based on behaviours of users on Facebook and TOPSIS. Examples provided illustrate the viability of the proposed algorithms. The research in this paper shows that ranking friendship closeness will facilitate understanding of needs and behaviours of friends and of friendships in SNS.

- Description: The unprecedented and rapid development of the Chinese economy has been vividly displayed in front of the whole world to see. The attention has been particularly acute for the academic community and career politician alike. Ironically, this rapid economic miracle of China has been built on an unsound and often even questionable foundation of Chinese words, language and culture, of which we call them "Chinese trinity". This paper deals with the Chinese trinity from a computing science perspective. This paper argues the reform in scientific Chinese trinity with an emphasis of the word "scientific" ought to play a key role for further Chinese economic development and to launch a much improved contemporary Chinese society on a solid foundation. In addition, this paper proposes specifically ten computing paradigms and examines critically their potential impacts on scientific Chinese trinity. Finally, we feel the very focused approaches as proposed here might inspire as well as provide a much needed road map toward the goal of the scientific Chinese trinity. Judiciously chosen vigorous research projects appear to be indispensable. The unfortunate well known and long overdue reform has finally been rescued by the pressure of the information revolution coming of age. © 2013 World Scientific Publishing Company.

- Description: Web services play an important role in successful business integration and other application fields such as e-commerce and e-business. Customer decision making (CDM) is an indispensable factor for e-business and Web services. This chapter examines customer decision making in Web services. More specifically, it first looks at decision making in Web services, and proposes a novel P6 model for CDM in Web services, which consists of 6 Ps: privacy, perception, propensity, preference, personalization, and promised experience. This model integrates the existing 6 P elements of marketing mix as the environment of customer decision making in Web services. The new integrated P6 model deals with the inner world of the customer for decision making (DM) and incorporates what the customer sees and thinks during a DM process. The purpose of this novel P6 model is to assist customers in the decision process to acquire the most satisfactory Web service. This chapter also examines case-based decision making in Web services and provides a theoretical foundation for case-based decision making under the condition of one problem with multiple solutions in Web services. The proposed approach will facilitate research and development of e-business, Web services, decision support systems, intelligent systems, and soft computing.

- Description: Experience-based reasoning (EBR) is a paradigm used in almost every human activity as a part of human reasoning. However, EBR has not been seriously studied from a logical viewpoint. This paper will attempt to fill this gap by providing a unified logical approach to EBR. More specifically, this paper first examines EBR and inference rules. Then it proposes eight different rules of inference for EBR, which cover all possible EBRs from a logical viewpoint. These eight different rules of inference constitute the fundamentals for all EBR paradigms, and therefore will be the theoretical foundation for EBR. The proposed approach will facilitate research and development of EBR, human reasoning, and common sense reasoning. © 2017 World Scientific Publishing Company.

How can analytics be incorporated into EIS? These are still big issues. This article addresses these three issues by proposing ontology of business analytics, presenting an analytics service-oriented architecture (ASOA) and applying ASOA to EIS, where our surveyed data analysis showed that the proposed ASOA is viable for developing EIS.
