With the computer software and technology continuously improving, because of various factors influencing, computer engineers are very tough on how to improve the quality of software products, this is a bottleneck problem we must solve. We think that the information engineering combining with the philosophy thought would make engineer’s ideas suddenly enlightened. We find a method and model to solve software engineering problems from the philosophical Angle, and put forward the importance of information philosophy in the study of information engineering by standing at this altitude of the information engineering. As a new field, information philosophy provides a unified, convergence theory frame, it can satisfy the requirement of further specialized. Information philosophy will become most exciting and productive philosophy research field in our era's.

AbstractSince the volume of trade between second- and third-line cities and ports in China and Taiwan is growing steadily, ensuring the availability of shuttle shipping service within the current hub-and-spoke system has become the shared goal of government, carriers, and cargo owners. In the form of an increasingly competitive cross-strait shipping market, what key factors should carriers consider when developing a new shuttle shipping route? Hence, the main purpose of this paper was to apply the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) approach to evaluate key factors influencing new cross-strait shuttle shipping routes. Based on the literature and experts’ opinions, a hierarchical structure with 4 assessment aspects and 15 assessment factors was first constructed, and a FAHP algorithm model was then proposed. Finally, based on the AHP experts’ questionnaires, we used the FAHP approach to evaluate the key factors. The results showed that (1) competitive port features is the most important aspect influencing new cross-strait shuttle shipping routes for ocean carriers and (2) in order of relative importance, the top five key factors influencing new cross-strait shuttle shipping routes for ocean carriers are wharf service facilities, convenient customs clearance and administrative procedures, superior natural geographical location, computer software and hardware facilities, and adequate hinterland and cargo sources, respectively. Furthermore, some discussions and recommendations are provided in this article.

SummaryComputer translators have been studied for almost four decades, but recent advances in speed and storage capabilities have made such translators accessible to small computer users. We obtained the computer typesetting file for a German language medical textbook and wrote computer software sufficient to obtain a draft quality English language translation of the entire book, at a speed of 9,671 words per hour. This translator uses two external tables, namely a word and idiom list and a list of grammatical rules, which completely specify the behavior of the translator. The grammatical rule table satisfies the properties of a mathematical group, and the inverse operation for this group allows one in principle to convert this German to English translator into an English to German translator. For the larger problem of creating multilingual computer translators, the group theory inversion property may allow one to substantially reduce the effort of creating a separate translator for each language pair. Future development of computer translators will depend upon the wider availability of computer-readable documents and will be aided by use of vocabulary and grammatical rule tables with group theory properties which permit the invertability between language pairs.

The paper is devoted to the analysis of peculiarities of legal support of distribution of “boxless” versions of foreign software distributed exclusively in e-form in Russia. In the conditions of digitalization of economic relations, a significant part of the difficulties, Russian software distributors face with, are associated with the imperfection of contractual work in companies rather than with the current legislation. The author highlights the specifics of contractual relations (their prerequisites and content) between the distributer (reseller) and right-holder (vendor) as factors influencing the choice of a contract concluded between the software distributor and purchaser, as well as availability or lack of a tangible (material) medium as an objective form of existence of computer software. The author elucidates such prerequisites for establishing contractual relationships as substantial inequality of negotiating positions, the predetermined choice of applicable law and transformation of classical distributor's perception. Regarding their content, contracts between the vendor and reseller are often characterized by an outright prohibition of sublicensing and the assignment of duties on the reseller to perform a whole set of actions. In turn, a fundamental lack of software versions on tangible media at the vendor calls into question the feasibility of concluding a contract between the reseller and the user of the contract of sale widely used in Russian contractual practice. The analysis of the whole set of these factors with due regard to the Russian law enforcement practice, allows us to draw a conclusion about the advantages of an intermediary model of distribution using the agency contract. This model is the least vulnerable in the context of intellectual rights infringement at all stages of distribution and provides appropriate expert support to the end user of the software.
