e-Livestock as a new paradigm in e-Government

e-Government allows the government to improve services to public sector using the information technology. Various paradigms of e-Government has emerged and studied. This paper proposes a new paradigm in e-Government called e-Livestock. This paper provides a definition of e-Livestock and describes how do e-Livestock as an e-Government system. This paper also describes how the application of e-Livestock in the relationship between Government (G), Business (B) and Citizens (C). Various suggestions regarding future works that can be carried out related to e-Livestock are also given in this paper.

e-Government Ethics : a Synergy of Computer Ethics, Information Ethics, and Cyber Ethics

Ethics has become an important part in the interaction among humans being. This paper specifically discusses applied ethics as one type of ethics. There are three applied ethics that will be reviewed in this paper, i.e. computer ethics, information ethics, and cyber ethics. There are two aspects of the three applied ethics that were reviewed, i.e. their definition and the issues associated with them. The reviewing results of the three applied ethics are then used for defining e-Government ethics and formulating the issues of e-Government ethics. The e-Government ethics position, based on the previous three applied ethics, is also described in this paper. Computer ethics, information ethics and cyber ethics are considered as the foundations of e-Government ethics and several others applied ethics could enrich the e-Government ethics.

The Relationships of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), Business Process Modeling and e- Government

e-Government have emerged in several countries. Because of many aspects that must be considered, and because of there are exist some soft components in e-Government, then the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) can be considered to use in e-Government systems development process. On the other hand, business process modeling is essential in many fields nowadays, as well as in e-Government. Some researchers have used SSM in e-Government. Several studies that relate the business processes modeling with e-Government have been conducted. This paper tries to reveal the relationship between SSM and business process modeling. Moreover, this paper also tries to explain how business process modeling is integrated within SSM, and further link that integration to the e-Government.

Decision support system for inventory management in pharmacy using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and sequential pattern analysis approach

A pharmacy typically store pharmaceutical products in warehouses before being sold to the customer. Stacking of products in the warehouse can reduce the efficiency of the warehouse and increase the costs associated with inventory, which raised the problem of how to predict the stock of each product to the right in order to avoid excess/shortages. Therefore, this study aims to develop a decision support system for inventory management in pharmacy, especially to predict next inventory using FAHP and SPA approach, so the prospect of inventory management will be more optimal. The study also proposes a model to predict inventory. These results indicate that the inventory prediction accuracy using this model approach more accurate 18% than the inventory prediction accuracy by a pharmacy inventory manager, so this approach can be referred to as a decision support system.

SUCCESS FACTORS FOR E-LIVESTOCK: AN E-GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE

E-Government system has been developed in various countries. Currently, e-Government specifically appears in various paradigms, such as e-Procurement, e-Voting. Lastly, has emerged a new paradigm in e-Government, called e-Livestock. Therefore, in this study, we will propose and discuss about several success factors for e-Livestock in Indonesia. We will take into account four previous researches that are related to this research. Based on four previous researches, we compose first round questionnaire that consists of 65 suggested success factors. We also compose second round questionnaire that consists of 14 suggested success factors. We combine and analyzed the result of both questionnaires, so that we get 62 success factors for e-Livestock in Indonesia. We propose that in practice, to make their initiative success, all of the 62 success factors that resulted from this research have to exist and be accommodated by all parties that involved in the e-Livestock initiative in Indonesia.

Assessment of GIS implementation in Indonesian e-Government system

GIS has many facilities that can be useful in various fields, including in e-Government system. This study assesses the implementation of GIS in the e-Government system provided by ninety-one institutions in Indonesia. The assessment was conducted using several criterias. These criterias include GIS availability and accessibility in the first place, GIS facility establishment date, and GIS technology and interactivity. The assessment was also done to check whether or not there is integration between GIS facilities among the institution that has implemented GIS facility. The results of this study show that seventeen of the total assessed official website has implemented GIS facilities. Seven of those websites are only showing a static map, while others are in the form of dynamic GIS facility. It is also identified that there is no integration among the institutions that have implemented GIS facility.

Antecedent factors of consumer attitudes toward SMS, E-mail and social media for advertising

This paper attempted to investigate antecedent factor of consumer attitudes toward three advertising media, i.e. SMS, e-mail and social media. The research model adapted Ducoffes model and Brackett&Carrs model. The analysis is based on a survey conducted in Indonesia. As many as 208 questionnaires have been collected to test 12 hypotheses through two-tailed test with significance level between 1% to 10%. As the result, four significant antecedent factors for attitudes toward SMS advertising: irritation, informativeness and credibility. Moreover, three factors, i.e. entertainment, informativeness and credibility, were correlated to costumer attitude toward e-mail advertising. The last, the attitude of social media advertising was only influenced by credibility aspect.

Decision Support System for Agribusiness Investment as e-Government Service Using Computable General Equilibrium Model

Investment is one activity that is quite tricky. Investment activity should be based on accurate calculations. Government as the regulator of investment activity within a country, can build an e-Government services in the form of a Decision Support System (DSS) to assist the investment decision-making. Investment activity in one sector can influence other sectors. One model that can be used to see the influence is Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. Some softwares has been available to perform complex CGE calculations. However, these softwares are generally not easy to use and not attractive. This paper presents the results of research in creating a system called Decision Support System for Agribusiness Investment (DSSAI). This system can perform complex CGE calculations, easy to use and has an attractive interface. These systems can be used as a benchmark for the user to determine whether he can invest in one of agribusiness sector or not. Users can perform a simulation by changing one variable, then see the effect on some sectors in agribusiness. The results of the DSSAI simulation are suitable with the opinion and the experience of economic experts, especially with the expert in agribusiness investment.
