With recent surge of Internet use, many people become concerned with side effects of Internet. Especially Internet addiction has become a significant issue. As Internet users become much younger than before, Internet addiction is salient even among elementary school students. While much research has been conducted on adolescents' addiction, only a little research has been conducted on elementary students' Internet addiction. In addition, it is necessary to use a standardized and reliable evaluation tool that is designed to assess the level of children's and adolescents' Internet addiction. The purpose of this study is to grasp the realities of elementary students' Internet addiction using an evaluation tool developed for elementary and secondary students, and to analyze the factors affecting Internet addiction. A survey was conducted to 1,382 5th and 6th graders selected from nationwide schools. The results of this study shows that 5.5% of the sample students are in the stage of serious addiction, and 12.4% in the stage of early addiction. In addition, the degree of Internet addiction significantly differs by various variables such as demographic factors, the experience of Internet use, family-related traits, and social activities.

Seamless end-to-end Internet Quality of Service (QoS) management is very only because Internet Management is not well understood and practiced in the real world but because the nature of the Internet is hard to predict and manage. Secure transmission, transport reliability, ability to differentiate service qualities, QoS-based intelligent routing, QoS monitoring, and customer-oriented service management are essential technical huddles to be coped with. Despite of these difficulties, the Internet becomes the platform of choice for the next generation applications and services. without a solid management solution, it is not easy to deploy high quality commercial services. In this paper, we propose an architecture of seamless end-to-end Internet QoS Management System and describe the design principles and system components of our developing prototype system.

The mobile Internet (M-Internet) service is a form of subscription-based information Systems (IS) services in which usage continuance is essential for the eventual success of the service providers. However, previous research on IS continuance has focused mainly on the technology user aspects despite the fact that the user plays a dual role of being a technology user and service consumer in many IS usage contexts. This study thus aims to examine IS continuance based on the theoretical foundation of dedication-based and constraint-based customer relationship development in the context of M-Internet service. Four customer relationship development factors (satisfaction, perceived value, familiarity, and switching costs) are identified and tested on how they affect continuance intention from a survey conducted on M-Internet service users. Then, the results of this study are discussed along with its limitations and implications.

This study is trying to classify and analyse the Internet shopping mall related studies from 1997 to 2006 in order to provide comprehensive view about Internet shopping mall. Another aim of this study is to give the future research themes around this area through consideration of needed research parts. First, we summarise the related terms, definitions and classification of Internet shopping mall itself. Then we classify the studies into two groups - researches about company behavior and researches about consumer behavior. We review the studies of each categories and classify them into more detail area. Finally we attempt to give integrated frameworks of each categories.

In this research, we proposed a quality evaluation standard model which is suitable for the internet shopping mall based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award model. A 7-Point Likert Scale was used based on the seven categories within the 2008 Malcolm Baldrige Criteria : Leadership, Strategic Planning, Customer and Market Focus, Measurement Analysis and Knowledge Management, Workforce Focus, Process Management, and Result. Furthermore, we analysed the validity and causal relationship among the factors within the model. The goal of this research is to find a rational standard to evaluate internet shopping malls nationwide and help the structuring and the operation of these malls. The results may be used not only as a tool to evaluate internet shopping mall sites but also as a guideline to improve the quality of a internet shopping mall site that is under development.

The rainfall observation systems have largely been improved in Japan. The Japan Meteorological Agency, prefecture governments, and other administrative bodies have also increased the number of rain gauges thru out the country. The density of observatories is now one per several $\km^2$. Heavy rainfall information systems have been improved. Besides it, the Internet was popularized in the late 1990s, and has been used to transmit data of heavy rainfall. Internet accessible cellular phones have been popular in Japan since 1999. Such phones are expected to be useful in the field of disaster warning announcements, because they can automatically notify users bye-mail of pending disasters. The use of the Internet during natural disasters is groundbreaking in Japan today. However, in order to use disaster information effectively on Internet it is necessary to investigate how to use the information during the rainfall disaster. Therefore in our study we suggest methods on the effective construction and their use of information technology on Internet.

Anecdotal reports indicate that maladaptive patterns of Internet use constitute behavioral addiction. Internet addiction is characterized by unrestrained and awfully controlled engrossment or behaviors regarding internet access that lead to impairment, stress, dimensionally measured depression, indicators of social separation and anguish. By reviewing and analyzing approximately 100 articles we present evidence that are able to provide an overview of the main themes and proclivity covered by existing and relevant studies. The vital detection of this research unveils that many factors related to social, demographic, lifestyle changes related constructs have a bearing on the phenomenon of internet addiction strongly. This study not only reached certain conclusions for both theory and practice, but also defined future lines of research according to the gaps detected by the study's results. The main findings from this literature, though not conclusive, but will help the researcher and policymakers to obtain a better understanding and description of the problem faced by the youth and necessary to develop some remedies to lessen the addiction phenomenon.
