This system use a discussion board is to fast disseminate time-sensitive job information to colleague job coaches. The effectiveness of knowledge sharing discussion create some result : the average number of messages per subject was 2.32 with standard deviation (SD) equal to 2.34. It was found that the average number of members involved in an initiated subject was 1.8 with SD= 1.5, which meant initiated subjects got replies in return with 80% of probability. We were also noted by the fact that the average time span of a subject was 42.6 hours (SD=50.0), compared to 2 weeks in maximum and 1 week in average thatused to be required for receiving updated job bulletins. Therefore, the reduction in the time to disseminate job information was accomplished by 75%. It's mean that the system has been built and tested by the job coaches with significant success.

Action Science Approach to Nonprofit Housing Services

In this research, Yao-Jen Chang, Hsin-Yu Hsu, Tsen-Yung Wang try to find how to unleash the power of Web2.0, and map mash-up services in particular for the organization who actually was ahead in applying Internet technology to providing housing information for people seeking to rent apartments. Research methodologies of action science including in-depth interview, field study, focused group, and participant observation [2, 3, 6] are adopted to collect data to analyze the needs of the front-line users. So it is a natural and good choice of conducting the organizational Web renovation project, people in social services and information systems can speak the same language Architecture of this system includes: (1) Context manager, (2) Map Service, (3) Database, (4) Matchmaker, and (5) SMS Service. Matchmaker is used for to record a user’s selections preference enables the matching module to be personalized to a user’s likings, which are essential in the housing applications. Resource Description Framework (RDF) has come to be used as a general method of modeling information, through a variety of syntax formats. RDFS has made the knowledge presentation more cohesive and flexible. The result of this researh (in context-aware capabilities and personalized matching) for 4 section include Map GUI, User Survey, Stress Test, and Diffusion of Innovations has been built and tested with significant success.
