We construct a two-echelon supply chain with one supplier and two retailers. Revenue sharing contract and lateral transshipment are considered in the discussed supply chain. We present a game model, and study how lateral transshipment under revenue sharing contract affects retailers' inventory choices and supply chain profit. Retailers choose their inventory levels by considering the possibility of...
This paper mainly considers the coordination issue and capacity planning strategies of the cloud service supply chain, which is consisted of two participators: application infrastructure provider (AIP), application service provider (ASP). We modify the traditional newsvendor model to match the features of the cloud service supply chain, including the risk of downtime, the scalability of service, and...
This paper proposes an improved K-means algorithm for the clustering analysis of dangerous goods transportation from logistics platform. The improved algorithm uses the distance dissimilarity between clusters to gain cluster coefficient, K, in order to avoid poor clustering effectiveness caused by the subjective K-value settings. And the improved algorithm also uses the spatial data feature extraction...
To find a more effective strategy of managing distributed inventory system under emergency conditions, we combine Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) with a Hierarchical, Distributed, Dynamic, Inventory management (HDDI) scheme to manage distributed inventory system with decentralized control. Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) strategy is introduced into a typical distributed inventory system with modified...
As the advancement of transistor nodes faces unprecedented challenges and work continues to extend Moore's law at the back end of the line (BEOL), packaging has become one of the fastest growing segments in the semiconductor industry. Lead-free soldering is one of the most critical steps in interconnection at the packaging level. The evolution of packaging requirements for various devices is driving...
The detection of coastlines in SAR imagery has been studied for more than two decades now. Whereas the first works were based on the exploitation of amplitude imagery and the corresponding need to deal with speckle noise [1, 2, 3], with the ERS-1/2 tandem configuration also coherence maps started to be used as input [4, 5]. Based on the insights gained on these experiments, later the authors began...
We design a cloud computing service supply chain with a monopoly application infrastructure provider (AIP) and multiple competing application service providers (ASPs) under asymmetric information. We use Bertrand competition to characterize the competitive relationship between ASPs. A service level agreement (SLA) serves as the foundation for the expected level of ASPs' services. The service system...
We mainly design a revenue sharing combined buy-back contract to coordinate the three-staged cloud computing service supply chain. This discussed supply chain includes one application service provider (ASP), one platform service provider (APP) and one application infrastructure provider (AIP). AIP supplies the infrastructure and computer capacity to APP; APP supplies the application platform to ASP;...
We mainly design a quantity discount contract to coordinate the two-stage cloud service supply chain, which consists of one application service provider (ASP) and one application infrastructure provider (AIP). The AIP supplies the computing capacity to the ASP. The ASP sells the value-added application services to the market. The market is characterized by a price-sensitive random demand. We discuss...
