  • A Survey on Web Modeling Approaches for Ubiquitous Web
    A Survey on Web Modeling Approaches for Ubiquitous Web Applications Andrea Schauerhuber1,∗, Wieland Schwinger2, Werner Retschitzegger3, Manuel Wimmer4, and Gerti Kappel4 1Women’s Postgraduate College for Internet Technologies, Vienna University of Technology [email protected] 2Department of Telecooperation, Johannes Kepler University Linz [email protected] 3Institute of Bioinformatics, Johannes Kepler University Linz [email protected] 4Business Informatics Group, Vienna University of Technology {wimmer|gerti}@big.tuwien.ac.at 1. INTRODUCTION Today’s web applications are full-fledged, complex software systems for which a methodologically sound engineering approach is crucial. Web engineering has emerged as an independent branch of software engineering and ”comprises the use of systematic and quantifiable approaches in order to accomplish the specification, implementation, operation, and maintenance of high quality web applications” [Kappel et al. 2006]. During the past 10 years, academia has provided various web modelling approaches, each aiming at counteracting a technology-driven and ad hoc development of web applications. These web modeling approaches originally have emerged as proprietary languages rather focused on notational aspects. As the types of web applications have evolved over time so have the web modeling approaches come up with appropriate concepts for them. Thus, increasingly more web modeling approaches are supporting the development of so called Ubiquitous Web Applications (UWAs), i.e., Web applications that adhere to the anytime/anywhere/anymedia paradigm, taking into account that services in the web are nowadays not exclusively accessed through traditional desktop PCs but through mobile devices with different capabilities and constraints, by users with various interests and goals at anytime from anyplace around the globe.

  • Is Tourism Haiti's Magic Bullet?
    STRATEGIC NOTE 9 | JUNE 2013 Is Tourism Haiti’s Magic Bullet? www.igarape.org.br An Empirical Treatment of Haiti’s Tourism Potential Athena R. Kolbe, Keely Brookes and Robert Muggah A french tourist negotiates the price of raspberries outside of the Baptist Mission Bakery, a popular destination for religious service groups visiting Haiti. The Haitian government has elevated tourism to the top of its development agenda. Yet prospects for success are uncertain. This assessment is the first empirical treatment of the attitudes and perceptions of tourists and service providers in Haiti. It is based on a survey of more than 2,000 tourists and 390 industry professionals. It finds that just over 3% of tourists reported crime victimizaiton and that the current tourism model should be revisited. IGARAPÉ INSTITUTE | STRATEGIC NOTE 9 | JUNE 2013 Introduction Tourism is often described as key to Haiti’s salvation. The economic potential of foreigners visiting the island nation is cited in virtually all major assessments of the country’s current development problems. This may seem at first counter- intuitive: the impoverished and disaster-stricken country has long-struggled with violence and political instability. But it is increasingly regarded as necessary. Immediately after the January 2010 earthquake it was recognized that strategic investments would be needed to secure Haiti’s economy once foreign aid had diminished.1 Tourism was recently elevated to a top priority by Haiti´s current administration and the Ministry of Tourism. The government hopes that an influx of foreign currency generated by tourist dollars could help lift the country out of aid-dependency.2 This is not as surprising as it may seem.

  • Hotel Berlin
    HOTEL BERLIN: THE POLITICS OF COMMERCIAL HOSPITALITY IN THE GERMAN METROPOLIS, 1875–1945 by Adam Bisno A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2017 © 2017 Adam Bisno ii Dissertation Advisor: Peter Jelavich Adam Bisno Hotel Berlin: The Politics of Commercial Hospitality in the German Metropolis, 1875–1945 Abstract This dissertation examines the institution of the grand hotel in Imperial, Weimar, and Nazi Berlin. It is a German cultural and business history of the fate of classical liberalism, which in practice treated human beings as rational, self-regulating subjects. The major shareholders in the corporations that owned the grand hotels, hotel managers, and hotel experts, through their daily efforts to keep the industry afloat amid the vicissitudes of modern German history, provide a vantage point from which to see the pathways from quotidian difficulties to political decisions, shedding light on how and why a multi-generational group of German businessmen embraced and then rejected liberal politics and culture in Germany. Treating the grand hotel as an institution and a space for the cultivation of liberal practices, the dissertation contributes to the recent body of work on liberal governance in the modern city by seeing the grand hotel as a field in which a dynamic, socially and culturally heterogeneous population tried and ultimately failed to determine the powers and parameters of liberal subjectivity. In locating the points at which liberal policies became impracticable, this dissertation also enters a conversation about the timing and causes of the crisis of German democracy.

  • Surge in Priceline.Com App Hurricane Sandy Bookings Shows More Consumers Go Mobile to Secure Emergency Hotel Rooms
    December 18, 2012 Surge In Priceline.com App Hurricane Sandy Bookings Shows More Consumers Go Mobile To Secure Emergency Hotel Rooms NORWALK, Conn., Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For priceline.com's (Nasdaq: PCLN) mobile apps team, the sudden spike in booking activity beginning October 25th was almost as telling as the weather reports that something major was about to happen in the northeastern U.S. It was a scenario they'd seen before in 2011, when a freak October snowstorm left many without electricity and a warm place to stay. Hurricane Sandy has just passed over Cuba and was churning toward landfall in the States. Mobile-equipped consumers in the soon-to-be-affected tri-state area (New Jersey/New York/Connecticut) wasted no time firing up their Priceline: Hotels, Flights & Rental Cars(sm) app to secure safe lodging in advance of the monster storm. "Mobile devices are fast becoming an essential part of an emergency preparedness kit," said John Caine, priceline.com's Chief Product Officer. "Finding accommodations in a weather emergency is usually a race for a limited number of rooms. A phone book and a telephone can be a time-consuming recipe for disaster. With an iOS or Android phone and the Priceline: Hotels, Flights & Rental Cars(sm) app, consumers instantly have comprehensive lists of hotels on-screen and can book those fast- disappearing rooms with just a few taps." Looking at the combined booking activity for all three affected states, it was clear that speed in getting a room was important with Hurricane Sandy fast approaching.
