Economies of developed countries are primarily based on the services sector, where the hospitality industry plays an important role. As such, new service design and service innovation are vital for maintaining competitive advantage. Recently, ubiquitous computing has emerged as a key enabler in various industries in support of service innovation by facilitating the design of new services. This study aims to investigate the benefits provided by ubiquitous computing in the hospitality domain for improved service quality, customer satisfaction, and profitability. First, the literature on service quality is presented, and important quality dimensions are selected accordingly. After providing a brief review of related technologies and existing applications, a ubiquitous computing framework is proposed in support of innovative services for the hotel industry. Via the analysis of the framework, changes in business processes are exposed and the contributions of ubiquitous computing are discussed according to the identified service quality dimensions.

Analysis of economic data using robust methods Coşar, Evren Erdogan; Akkaya, Ayşen; Department of Statistics (2002) Export plays an important role in the economic development of a country. Because of its importance in implementing trade policies, there is an extensive literature on the estimation of export functions. Most of the studies on estimating export functions utilized conventional econometric techniques with the normality assumption of innovations. However, it has been recently recognized that non-normal distributions for innovations are more common in practice. IllThe main aim of this study is to estimate the ex...
STOCHASTIC MODELING OF STOP-LOSS REINSURANCE AND EXPOSURE CURVES UNDER TIME DEPENDENT STRUCTURE Mert, Özenç Murat; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Financial Mathematics (2022-12-2) Insurance markets play an essential role in the economy of the world and its structure requires reinsurance policies due to the growth in populations, extreme (catastrophic) events, political and economical perspectives.

A Proposed Framework for Governmental Organisations in the Implementation of BOT Model Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem (1998-09-11) The experience of most developing countries is that benefits of private sector participation models are only achievable under the existence of some prerequisite conditions associated with the legal arrangements, economical and political environments prevailing in a country. The Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, which was developed as a way to acquire necessary infrastructure investments, without affecting a government’s budget, had some unsuccessful applications in Turkey as a result of insufficient legal...
