The goal of this paper is to introduce and understand the equine veterinarians' needs in their daily routines and develop a web-based support system to promote their work. An equine veterinarian works in both clinic and stable environments, which requires resilience and smart functionality from the support system's interfaces. Especially when horse treatment is in the stable environment, a mobile interface is required. The development of the system must also take into account the needs of the other stakeholders around horses. This paper introduces the requirements to develop a mobile interface for the web-based support system, m-equine. The trial of m-equine will start with an influenza vaccination protocol that is used by veterinarians, horse owners and riders as well as competition organizers. In conclusion the future developments and added values of the system are introduced.

The research explores the extent to which academic libraries in Nigeria are using mobile technologies for the delivery of its information and research services, and the impact these technologies may have on the professional development needs of librarians. Using a mixed method design approach, two data sets were investigated. First, the web-based library homepages of 15 tertiary education libraries in South-west Nigeria were examined for their level of conformance to a mobile platform and second, library staff from the 15 academic libraries were surveyed for their perceptions of, and experiences in, using mobile technology both within a social context and within the workplace. This research found that while mobile technologies are in use by the majority of academic libraries to a degree, lack of resources and awareness of new innovations were identified as barriers to providing mobile services that meet users' needs and expectations.

Version 1.0 of the Twinning CIF Dictionary was posted on the IUCr web site in February 2014.[1] The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the application of these definitions in many common situations relevant to chemical crystallography. Within these definitions are tools to describe all known twin types as defined by the monograph by Nespolo.[2] Tools are available to describe a single twin law or combinations of unrelated twin laws. These definitions were developed mindful that experimental data should have a set format for deposition and validation through future developments of the web-based IUCr CheckCIF software. Several examples of twins will be presented to illustrate the functionality of these definitions.

<p><em>Car is an important transportation to support many activities in our daily life. There have been many variations of car based on models, price, specifications and so on. This study aims to implement the web-based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to recommend a car based on some criteria. The decision is done based on the following criteria as price, brand, cylinder capacity, fuel consumption, and passenger capacity. We used the data of 254 model variants car from six famous brands (Toyota, Daihatsu, Mitsubishi, Honda, Suzuki, and Nissan). The experiments have been to see the effectivity of the proposed method by giving different weight priority value . The results show that the method work well to give recommendation that suits consumers' desires.</em></p><p><em><strong>Keywords</strong></em><em>: Analytical Hierarchy Process, Car, Decision Support System,</em><em> MCDM.</em></p><p><em>Mobil merupakan alat transportasi yang penting saat ini guna menunjang aktivitas maupun untuk memenuhi gaya hidup seseorang. </em><em>Ada beragam jenis  mobil dengan </em><em>model</em><em>, merk</em><em> dan spesifikasi</em><em> tehnis lainnya. </em><em>Penelitian ini bertujuan mengimplementasikan metode AHP</em><em> berbasis web</em><em>  untuk membantu merekomendasikan mobil yang sesuai dengan keinginan konsumen. </em><em>R</em><em>ekomendasi keputusan </em><em>berbasisi 6 (enam) </em><em>kriteria diantaranya harga, merk, kapasitas silinder, konsumsi BBM, dan kapasitas penumpang. </em><em>Eksperimen  dilakukan dengan menggunakan d</em><em>ata 254 varian model mobil dengan enam merk</em><em> terkenal </em><em> </em><em>Toyota, Daihatsu, Mitsubishi, Honda, Suzuki, dan Nissan).</em><em> Hasil pengujian </em><em>sistem telah bekerja dengan sangat baik.

In this paper, we present a web-based decision support system (DSS)—wSADfLOR—to facilitate the access of stakeholders to tools that may contribute to enhancing forest management planning. The emphasis is on a web-based architecture and a web graphic user interface (wGUI) that may effectively support the analysis of trade-offs between ecosystem services in order to address participatory and sustainable forest management objectives. For that purpose, the wGUI provides remote access to a management information system, enabling users to analyze environmental and biometric data and topological information as well. Moreover, the wGUI provides remote access to forest simulators so that users may define and simulate prescriptions such as chronological sequences of management options and the corresponding forest ecosystem services outcomes. Remote access to management planning methods is further provided so that users may input their objectives and constraints. The wGUI delivers information about tradeoffs between ecosystem services in the form of decision maps so that users in different locations may negotiate bundles of ecosystem services as well as the plan needed to provide them. The multiple criteria programming routines provide proposals for management plans that may be assessed further, using geographical and alphanumeric information provided by the wGUI. Results for an application to a forested landscape extending to 14,388 ha are presented and discussed. This landscape provides several ecosystem services and the development of its management plan involves multiple stakeholders. Results show that the web-based architecture and the wGUI provide effective access for stakeholders to information about the forest management planning area and to decision support tools that may contribute to addressing complex multi-objective and multiple-decision-maker management planning contexts. They also highlight that the involvement and participation of stakeholders in the design of the web-based architecture contributes to assuring the quality and the usability of the system.

While developing a Web-based travel planning system, the necessity to implement a mobile component has been identified. Such a conception is aimed at a comprehensive support of a workflow that enables users to plan a trip in advance using the Web-based application, but to modify the original plan wherever and whenever they want while carrying out the journey. Within both components, Point-of-Interest (POI) plays a significant role to determine a tour. It is one claim of this chapter that the relevance of POI is dependent on the perspective of a user. As a consequence, the originally used POI database was replaced by a POI ontology which promised to support the workflow more comprehensively. This conceptual change raised several questions concerning the domain dependence of the POI ontology on the one side and universal aspects of the ontology on the other.

Web-based instruction is prevalent in educational settings. However, many issues still remain to be investigated. In particular, it is still open about how human factors influenced learners’ performance and perception in web-based instruction. In this vein, the study presented in this chapter investigates this issue in a web-based instructional program, which was applied to teach students how to use HTML in an UK university. Sixty-one master’s degree students participated in this study.’ There is a number of interesting findings. Students’ task achievements were affected by the levels of their previous system experience. On the other hand, the Post-Test and Gain scores were positively influenced by their perceptions and attitudes toward the web-based instructional program. The implications of these findings are discussed.
