The paper reflects the deeper problem in tourism supply chain which is trust among travel agencies, and between travel agencies and affiliated enterprises according to the phenomenon of the lack of trust between travel agencies and tourists. Firstly, the concept of trust is introduced. The study shows that it is necessary to enhance the cooperative trust in tourism supply chain dominated by a travel...
By means of comparing the traditional and e-commerce based supply chain of chain catering enterprises, a mathematical model of the latter is given. This model is built according to costs and profits, combined with characters of supply chain of chain catering and the merits of e-commerce. By quantizing factors of all concerns, the corresponding equations are given. The optimization method of the net...
This article mainly introduces some approaches and strategies on how to plan and evaluate the e-supply chain management platform (E-SCMP) based on the Elman artificial neural network (Elman ANN) so as to improve Chinese supply chain performance. This article divides into 4 sections: The first is to review current situation of the E-SCMP and point out there are a few weaknesses in the theories and...
In this work, we explore a supply chain where the supplier considers whether to open a direct selling channel complementing with the retailing channel, and as a response, the retailer considers whether to introduce his store brand. We model this relationship by a four-stage dynamic game. We show that there exists an equilibrium solution for this game where the direct selling and store brand introduction...
Despite the application and promotion of RFID in the initial stage, it has been widely affirmed by retailers, manufacturers, pharmaceutical industry and government. But the efficiency using of RFID remains a major challenge. Organizations adopting it must bring together and manage huge volumes of RFID data and they will need to differentiate between meaningful data and vast amounts of ldquonoiserdquo...
The raw materials order rate exhibits dynamic behaviors such as additional system oscillation and demand amplification caused by the increase in the desired raw materials stock triggered by the surge in desired production starts. A system dynamics model of a supply chain consisting of two stages is investigated. The impact of a reverse logistics for direct reuse productions on such dynamic behaviors...
A system dynamics model of a traditional /closed loop supply chain system is investigated in the manufacturer echelon chain under APIOBPCS (Automatic Pipeline Inventory and Order Based Production Control System). The effect of remanufacture and the return ratio on the oscillation and amplification effect were studied. Our results clearly showed that ordering policy designed for a production system...
This paper presents a theoretical explanation of creating value through supply chain cooperation and tests it with data from the coal and power industries of China. Our theoretical analysis is based upon findings in a number of fields, including transaction cost economics theory, social exchange theory, etc. In addition, an empirical analysis is provided by using data collected through questionnaire...
Monitoring and control of time-sensitive products can be facilitated by the application of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. This paper describes impact on the SCM chain and the profit under dynamic price using RFID technology by mathematic model. The profit using RFID technology is more than the profit no using the technology.
Trading behaviors in a game between buyers and sellers in E-Commerce market are not only a stochastic process, but also reflect the equilibrium of the existence and consistency. Based on newsvendor model, the structure of information asymmetry commodity trading market is designed and constructed. According to transferring value of information attributes, two definitions of equilibrium in two stages...
An operation model is proposed in this paper for an electronic market enabled supply chain with uncertain variable costs. The supply chain consists of multi-supplier and multi-customer, suppliers can provide many kinds of product to different customers directly or through electronic market. Uncertain variable costs are described as symmetrical and limited intervals. A robust operation model for this...
This paper proposes a service selection solution named ZX, which is based on the selector-side QoS measuring results. In ZX, we identify the QoS attributes which could be measured in selector's side, and provide possible solutions to gather the QoS information, and we introduce a new service selecting method, which concerns normal-the-better QoS attributes, by implementing the nearest neighbor algorithm.
Data-intensive Web applications have been expanding rapidly, it is necessary to assure their correctness. In this paper, we propose an approach to the verification of Data-intensive Web applications. The design of a Web application is described in WebML, and then transformed into the Kripke structure. Computation Tree Logic (CTL) is employed to define the properties to be verified and model checker...
We propose and study an evolving network model for instant messaging system (IMS) with local-world preferential connections and acquaintance introduction mechanisms, which exist in many physical complex networks especially in IMS evolving network. We put forward the algorithms to generate IMS evolving network model and through simulation results we talk about the topological properties of the IMS...
The language of choreography, WS-CDL, is a W3C candidate recommendation standard, which is an interactive description from global view but the language lacks formal semantics. WorkUnit in WS-CDL plays a crucial role because of reusable principle. In this paper, we propose process algebra for WS-CDL (PA4WS), which equips workunit. The semantics of PA4WS are presented based on structural operational...
With the development of wireless networks and mobile terminals, mobile commerce has become a research hotspot in recent years for its commercial value and has been considered to be significant supplement and potential substitute of traditional e-commerce. Tourism, which has the feature of mobility, is a typical mobile commerce application. In this paper, we propose a RFID and personalized recommendation...
As an innovative e-commerce model, mobile business will definitely turn into an alluring industry in the near future. By using the statistics of the accumulative cellphone-on-line surfing netizen and the nonlinear least squares method which is offered by the ldquoSPSSrdquo software, the authors of this paper try to estimate the critical parameters in the ldquoBASSrdquo diffusion model and thus make...
This paper researches the modeling of the input-output model on mobile service. A model of input-output analysis is established, which is based on Leontief input-output model. Then a new mathematic method is applied to study the stability of the singular input-output system on mobile service without converting it into classical linear system. The parameter uncertainties are considered and are assumed...
This article introduced the existing third-party mobile payment model, as well as third-party network security payment model and analysis their pros and cons and then concluded a mobile payment model of a combination of the two models - mobile payment model based on third-party security .Then systematically introduced the model structure, made the detailed design of their payment flow and pointed...
Document knowledge base is necessary to support mobile work for mobile workers. The architecture of mobile knowledge service based on document knowledge base includes context-awarer, knowledge service manager, and end application components. The application of the architecture is contributed to personalize knowledge service to different tasks for different people with existing document knowledge in...
