Research community is included of all managers and experts in which 132 people of this society are selected based on Chochran Formula. The research method is applicable and descriptive and the cronbach’s alpha is used for determining the reability of the research instruments. In this level,the cronbach’s alpha of independent variable of effective factors is equal to 97% and the dependent variable of implementing the knowledge management is equal to 95% that shows the desired level of the reliability for the research instruments. Data are analyzied within two descriptive and analytical levels based on spss software. Reseach assumptions are related to investigating the effects of each dimensions of IT, organizational structure, organizationa culture, motivation and managerial factors on the implementing the knowledge management that allof them are confirmed. Findings show that all effective factors have a direct relationship with implementing the knowledge management.

This paper considers the Internet of Things from business perspective and integration of it with cloud computing with focus on theoretical and practical aspects. By entering the Internet of things into different areas of knowledge and because of breadth of its data and information, and the increasing need for analysis and management of them, cloud computing as the only solution to provide software and hardware requirements will be introduced and evaluated in this paper. This integration, while having many benefits and improving many applications, faces challenges that will be discussed in this paper. This article is written through literature review among activists in this field and scientific resources. First, the ecosystem of Internet of things businesses is introduced with the aim of identifying the roles of this ecosystem, then the impact of the IOT on the components of the business model of the companies will be examined and, finally, a variety of business models of the Internet of things will be examined. In the following, the main architectures and platforms of this area are described. Finally, with respect to the article's approach, a business framework is introduced that can be used by developers as the starting point for creating applications from the Internet of things based on cloud computing.

The population of this study was Iranian consumers of social media brands (customers) whose number is unlimited. Due to their unlimited number of samples, the Cochran formula was used to determine the sample size and randomly selected 385 random errors of 0.05 by simple random sampling method. To invenstigate the research hypotheses, a questionnaire was used for data collection. In the inferential statistics, firstly, the dimensions were determined and the indexes were extracted. After checking the reliability and validity of the questionnaire, to normalize collected data, Kolmogorov smirnov test was applied. Then the research hypothesens were examined using pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling. Based on the results, all assumptions were accepted. As marketing efforts of brands in social media had the highest impact on the consumer brand value of 0.95. Manuscript profile -

The framework of COBIT shows the information of doing necessaries to gain dominance of Information Technology. The purpose of this study is to apply an uncertain Grey hierarchy approach to evaluate the governance of information technology. Also, a hybrid model of the COBIT framework and TOGAF’s organizational architecture framework are presented. This study in terms of orientation is applicable and its method is descriptive-survey. The questionnaire used to determine the importance of the dimensions of IT governance processes and the evaluation of IT processes at the Faculty of Electronic Education of Shiraz University as a research organization. The first research community consists of experts groups in the area of information technology governance that are selected using snowball techniques. The second community consists of 20 faculty directors based on the census. The results of this research show how to apply Grey theory in selected organization by applying “COBIT” framework.

One of the most important ITS subsystems, which plays a major role in controlling traffic and accidents, is the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) technology. VANET, which aims to provide security and comfort for passengers, is a network of cars in which cars are interconnected as network nodes using wireless technologies. In this paper, introducing the VANET network technology, its new applications in the railway industry have been discussed and Rolling stock Ad-Hoc Network (RANET) has been proposed. In RANET, the rolling stocks are network nodes and have a wireless and dynamic connection with each other. Increasing revenue, reducing costs and accidents, increasing efficiency, increasing cargo owners and passengers’ satisfaction are the most important goals of the railway industry, which RANET technology can play a very significant role in achieving these goals and providing the basis for railway transport without driver. RANET can also provide platforms for the emergence of knowledge based companies in the field of modern and technology-oriented rail transport and can be a source of innovation and creativity. The results of the paper show that knowledge based companies will be able to use RANET technology in areas such as train planning and scheduling, dynamic blocking, multimodal transport planning, intersection and switches management.
