Electronic Participation in Malaysia

This article seeks to highlight the prevalent role of electronic participation (e-participation) in the implementation of e-government (EG) and possible approaches in enhancing the application of e-government through the insertion of e-participation module. Previous case studies on e-participation cover definitions and technique of e-participation, applicable strategies to implement e-participation, and the quality of e-participation for top management decision making. Several literature in EG supports the statement that e-participation could improve the quality of public sector governance process. As a result, most developed countries implemented EG projects to enable involvement of citizens in the political decision making process through e-participation. However, this is not the case in most of the developing countries which focus more on improving public sector services rather than e-participation. Among others, there are arguments which focus on the issue of lack of citizen participation in the political process through the Internet. This is particularly true in the context of EG implementation in developing countries whereby the focus is more on e-services rather than eparticipation. Malaysian government has implemented EG, since 1997 under one of the MSC flagships, to deliver information and services in an integrated manner. Malaysian Government Portal or myGovernment performs as a single platform providing information and services related to government agencies. Despite this effort, myGovernment, as evident in other developing nations, also does not place emphasis on e-participation.

Modelling End-User of Electronic-Government Service: The Role of Information quality, System Quality and Trust

Many governments around the world increasingly use internet technologies such as electronic government to provide public services. These services range from providing the most basic informational website to deploying sophisticated tools for managing interactions between government agencies and beyond government. Electronic government (e-government) aims to provide a more accurate, easily accessible, cost-effective and time saving for the community. In this study, we develop a new model of e-government adoption service by extending the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) through the incorporation of some variables such as System Quality, Information Quality and Trust. The model is then tested using a large-scale, multi-site survey research of 237 Indonesian citizens. This model will be validated by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The result indicates that System Quality, Information Quality and Trust variables proven to effect user behavior. This study extends the current understanding on the influence of System Quality, Information Quality and Trust factors to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers.

An Application of Rough Set Theory for Clustering Performance Expectancy of Indonesian e-Government Dataset

Performance expectancy has been studied as an important factor which influences e-government. Therefore, grouping of e-government users involving performance expectancy factor is still challenging. Computational model can be explored as an efficient clustering technique for grouping e-government users. This paper presents an application of rough set theory for clustering performance expectancy of e-government user. The propose technique base on the selection of the best clustering attribute where the maximum dependency of attribute in e-government data is used. The datasets are taken from a survey aimed to understand of the adoption issue in e-government service usage at Bandung city in Indonesia. At this stage of the research, we point how a soft set approach for data clustering can be used to select the best clustering attribute. The result of this study will present useful information for decision maker in order to make policy concerning theirs people and may potentially give a recommendation how to design and develop e-government system in improving public service.

Mining Significant Association Rules from on Information and System Quality of Indonesian E-Government Dataset

Electronic government (e-government) refers to how to apply the information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and responsibility of public governments. They are usually adopted in complex setting influenced not only the infrastructure factor but also the others factor such as end user satisfaction. Information and system quality are often seen as a key antecedent of user satisfaction. This paper presents an application of data mining technique based on association rules mining to capture interesting rules on information and system quality of Indonesian e-Government dataset. It is based on Least Frequent Items method by embedding FP-Growth algorithm. The rules are formed by implementing the relationship of an item or many items to an item (cardinality: many-to-one). The rule is categorized as interesting if it has a highest critical relative support, positive correlation and confidence. The results show that the total number of significant rules is 256 which is 14% from the overall rules captured i.e. 1811 on information quality data, meanwhile for system quality the total number of significant rules is 1790 which is 21% from the overall rules captured i.e. 18414.

Maximum Attribute Relative Approach of Soft Set Theory in Selecting Cluster Attribute of Electronic Government Data Set

Electronic government (e-government) is the use of information and communication technology to provide information and services for the citizen. Many researchers argue that it is very important to know what the dominant variable influences citizen in using e-government. A number studies have used empirical approach to know the variables, but very rarely use other technique such as data mining. One of the powerful data mining technique is Maximum Attribute Relative (MAR), the technique is based on a soft set theory by introducing the concept of the attribute relative in information systems. Therefore, we present the applicability of MAR for clustering attribute selection. The real data set is taken from a survey at Bandung District in Indonesia. A total 200 participants have jointed in this survey. Most respondents are female i.e. 105 persons and the rest are male i.e. 95 persons with alpha score yielded 0.846. At this stage of the research, we show how MAR can be used to select the best clustering and found that Facilitating Condition (FC) is the highest variable of the citizen behavior in adopting e-government service. Furthermore, the result also may potentially contribute to decision maker how to design a good e-government in order to reduce bureaucracy and further to improve public services.

Pattern Analysis of Goals Scored in Malaysia Super League 2015

Received Mar 3, 2018 Revised Apr 11, 2018 Accepted Apr 21, 2018 Paintball has gained a huge popularity in Malaysia with growing number of tournaments organized nationwide. Currently, Ideal Pro Event, one of the paintball organizer found difficulties to pair a suitable opponent to against one another in a tournament. This is largely due to the manual matchmaking method that only randomly matches one team with another. Consequently, it is crucial to ensure a balanced tournament bracket where eventual winners and losers not facing one another in the very first round. This study proposes an intelligent matchmaking using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and tournament management system for paintball organizers. PSO is a swarm intelligence algorithm that optimizes problems by gradually improving its current solutions, therefore countenancing the tournament bracket to be continually improved until the best is produced. Indirectly, through the development of the system, it is consider as an intelligence business idea since it able to save time and enhance the company productivity. This algorithm has been tested using 3 size of population; 100, 1000 and 10,000. As a result, the speed of convergence is consistent and has not been affected through big population.N. N. S.

Indonesia as one of developing countries has been developed the LRT in two cities of Indonesia, Palembang and Jakarta. There are opinions toward the development of LRT, negative and positive opinions. To reveal the level of LRT development acceptance, this research uses machine learning approach to analyze the data which is gathered through social media. By conducting this paper, the data is modeled and classified in order to analyze the social sentiment towards the LRT development.Mohamad, S., Nasir, F.M., Sunar, M.S., Isa, K., Hanifa, R.M., Shah, S.M., Ribuan, M.N., Ahmad, A. 1,4,6,7,8Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia 1,2,3UTM-IRDA Digital Media Centre, Media and Game Innovation Centre of Excellence, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia 1,2,3Faculty of Computing, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia 5Centre for Diploma Studies, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia 6Research Centre for Applied Electromagnetics, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Johor, MalaysiaReceived Jan 31, 2018 Revised Apr 21, 2018 Accepted Apr 30, 2018 Bluetooth is an emerging mobile ad-hoc network that accredits wireless communication to connect various short range devices. A single hop network called piconet is the basic communication topology of bluetooth which allows only eight active devices for communication among them seven are active slaves controlled by one master. Multiple piconets are interconnected through a common node, known as Relay, to form a massive network called as Scatternet. It is obvious that the performance of Scatternet scheduling is highly dependent and directly proportionate with the performance of the Relay node. In contrary, by reducing the number of Relays, it may lead to poor performance, since every Relay has to perform and support several piconet connections. The primary focus of this study is to observe the performance metrics that affects the inter-piconet scheduling since the Relay node’s role is like switch between multiple piconets. In this paper, we address and analyze the performance issues to be taken into consideration for efficient data flow in Scatternet based on Relay node.
