This paper adapts and validates instruments (i.e. accuracy, ease of use, reliability, timeliness, content, format, and satisfaction) for measuring end-user computing satisfaction (EUCS) of computerized accounting system (CAS) in government sector (responsibility centre). The research was conducted using a set of questionnaire to 90 public sector’s staffs that using CAS. Descriptive analysis and...

Privacy-invasive software, loosely labeled spyware, is an increasingly common problem for today’s computer users, one to which there is no absolute cure. Most of the privacy-invasive software are positioned in a legal gray zone, as the user accepts the malicious behaviour when agreeing to the End User License Agreement. This paper proposes the use of a specialized reputation system to gather an...

It would be difficult to find a veteran end user who is unwilling to share at least one “war story” concerning a computer virus. Viruses are, and undoubtedly will continue to be, a fact of life in the end user computing community. Many tales of bouts with computer viruses contain a good measure of embellishment, and many computer mishaps attributed to viruses are truly due to “pilot error.” Reg...

While the growth of MIS investment and its influence is making MIS evaluation ever more indispensable, little attention has been paid to assessing and communicating system effectiveness. This paper attempts to empirically assess the effectiveness of integrated human resource information system in Iranian oil industry. As suggested by recent research, the widely accepted IS success model is...

The Galaxy platform is a web-based science portal for scientific computing supporting the life sciences user community. While user-friendly and intuitive for doing small to medium-scale computations, it currently has limited support for large-scale parallel and distributed computing. The Swift parallel scripting framework is capable of composing ordinary applications into parallel scripts that ...

Research on the influence of attitudes toward computers and end user performance has reported inconsistent results. The inconsistent results, at least in part, could be attributed to the lack of correspondence between the general nature of the attitude measure and the specific nature of the criterion, end user performance. Based on Ajzen and Fishbein’s (1980) behavioral intentions model, we arg...

cloud computing is the latest technology that involves distributed computation over the internet. it meets the needs of users through sharing resources and using virtual technology. the workflow user applications refer to a set of tasks to be processed within the cloud environment. scheduling algorithms have a lot to do with the efficiency of cloud computing environments through selection of su...

Researchers highlight end-user involvement in system design as an important concept for developing useful and usable solutions. However, end-user involvement in software engineering is still an open-ended topic. Novel paradigms such as service-oriented computing strengthen the need for more active end-user involvement in order to provide systems that are tailored to individual end-user needs. O...
