In the design and synthesis of control systems in industrial companies, we have to face lots of unexpected problems caused by interactions between control systems with human operators (automated control systems) and control systems with no human operators (automatic control systems). While there are plenty of recommendations for design, synthesis and optimization of automatic control systems, in case...
Crowdsourcing is one of the most fundamental elements in so called sharing economy. This type of economy enables sharing of unused resources in the community, which is a key concept in Smart City initiatives. This paper focuses on the field of crowdsourced logistics, where many startups have emerged in the last years. Also companies, which provide other crowdsourced services, such as Uber, are often...

Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled information system solutions are emerging in various domains such as remote healthcare, smart logistics, agriculture and so on. Meanwhile, Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) have proved themselves to be promising tools for driving and managing devices within IoT systems. However, past works have not fully addressed how the IoT-based BPMS can continue their...
Risk permeates all aspects of doing business. However, support tools capable of systematically identifying the complete spectrum of risks that a company might face are currently lacking. Such a tool would need to reliably identify company-risk relationships from unstructured sources, therefore providing a qualitative assessment of risk exposure. We propose a supervised learning approach that combines...
The location selection of distribution centers is one of important strategies to optimize the logistics system. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new multi-actor multi-attribute decision-making method based on ELECTRE I. The proposed method helps decision-makers to select a preferred location from a given set of locations for implementing. The strength of the proposed method is to incorporate...
The challenge in last-mile supply chains deliveries is to maintain and improve the operational cost-effectiveness by the implementation of efficient procedures while facing increased levels of congestion in cities. One competitive alternative is Horizontal Cooperation (HC). City distribution problems under HC conditions can be modeled as multi-depot vehicle routing problems, which are NP-hard problems...
We consider a pharmaceutical company that sources a biological product from a set of unreliable contract manufacturers. The likelihood of a manufacturer to successfully deliver the product is estimated via logistic regression as a function of the product attributes. The assignment of a product to the right contract manufacturers is of critical importance for the pharmaceutical company, and simulation-based...
