“…There are also some intangible costs. For example, it has been documented that implementing a strict security mechanism will reduce the efficiency of the organization . The request of security behavior often has conflicts with and competes working hours with employee's production tasks .…”

Summary Although information security technologies (such as digital rights management products) have been proven effective and successful in protecting the confidentiality of sensitive information by providing access control, these technologies have not been widely adopted and used to their potential. One reason for this could be that cost and benefit of these products have not been analyzed in a systematic and quantitative manner to date. As a result, companies do not have an established procedure to evaluate the cost and benefit of implementing these products. In this document, the benefits of implementing a digital rights management product in enterprises are quantified using stochastic Petri nets models and are compared with the security needs of a corporation and potential costs incurred by the implementation process. An evaluating procedure for implementing these products is established. This procedure has the potential to be used to improve the ability of a corporation to make sensible security investment decisions.

“…Scholars have broadly claimed that copyright law and policy tends to favor content creators who determine who can use their work and how (Grodzinsky & Bottis, 2007). Foroughi, Albin and Gillard (2002) discuss the side effects of TPMs and thus emphasize the need for balancing customer and business concerns. According to Ellis and Kent (2011), digital media creators have increasingly used technical tools to protect online content from copyright infringement.…”

“…DRM-free environment can increase the demand and consumers' willingness to pay for legal product [6]. Foroughi (2002) consider that, in order to maximize the profits, the rights-holders must seek to find the optimal copyright strategies to keep a delicate balance between copyright protection and the legal accessibility of end-users [5]. Our paper is different from [5] and [6] in that it presents a more specific model involved eight different copyright permissions and investigate how these permissions affect sales performance.…”

Abstract. The Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) problem has been considered as one of the most important challenging task in Natural Language Processing (NLP) research area. Even though, many of scientists applied the robust machine learning, statistical techniques, and structural pattern matching approach, the performance of WSD is still not able to bit human results due to the complexity of human language. In order to overcome this limitation, currently, the knowledge base such as WordNet has gained high popularity among researchers due to the fact that this knowledge base can extensively provide not only the definitions of nouns and verbs, but also the semantic networks between senses which were defined by linguists. However, knowledge bases are not fully dealing with entire words of human languages because maintaining and expanding the knowledge base is huge task which requires many efforts and time. Expanding knowledge base is not a big issue to concern however, a new approach is the major goal of this paper to solve WSD problem only based on limited knowledge resources. In this paper, we propose a method, named low ambiguity first (LAF) algorithm, which disambiguates a polysemous word with a low ambiguity degree first with given disambiguated words, based on the structural semantic interconnections (SSI) approach. The LAF algorithm is based on the two hypothesises that first, adjacent words are semantically relevant than other words far way. Second, word ambiguity can be measured by frequency differences between synsets of the given word in WordNet. We have proved these hypothesises in the experiment results, the LAF algorithm can improve the performance of traditional WSD results.
