The aim of the publication is to brief on a safe and cost-effective security solution cost and time estimation tool for small to medium size enterprises since most of these either do not have a budget for cyber security or are miniscule in general. Evaluation tool will be used to determine approximate time and costs a small company might face implementing a comprehensive security solution. Analyzing...
Technical debt is a metaphor in software engineering interpreted as a trade-off between short-term benefits of postponing development activities and long-term consequences of postponing those activities. Most of the research in technical debt literature focus on identifying technical debt, justifying what to include and what to exclude in the technical debt scope and how to deal with them: either...
The present day market demands the production of more power, exhausting as little amount of energy as possible. The major portion of energy is consumed for lighting application, inclining towards judicial use of energy and to meet the sustainable development of the society. Moreover, the conventional light sources had adverse impact on health and on climate variations causing health hazards and global...
This study discusses the research results conducted on an Indonesian plastic manufacturing company. The distribution of the workload in a production process needs to be calculated so that the company is able to achieve the target of production. This research was conducted to improve the efficiency of production systems and the production capacity of the company so that the company is able to meet...
In software development application lifecycle management (ALM) systems are used to support the development process. As these products are tailored for best fitting the applied programs and their actual usage is diverse. Often, this means that products of different vendors are applied, which reduce the reachability between different artefacts and the overall consistency of the system. In this paper...
In today's competitive operating environment one of the chief factors in success of outsourcing is the suppliers. Hence, it becomes imperative for an organization to choose suppliers carefully who cater to its needs. In this paper, we have developed a hybrid approach dedicated to supplier selection problem; this approach combines the correlation coefficient and standard deviation (CCSD) method and...
Business process compliance means to ensure that business practice and processes are aligned at relevant laws and industry standards. This means for companies to comply with an increasing number of rules of different origin and complexity. Especially purchasing activities are affected by various regulations that affect the whole supply chain. Companies then need to assure that compliance regulations...
A major approach for formalizing business policies or compliance rules (e.g., stemming from regulatory laws or standards) are behavioral constraints. Flexible business process management approaches such as Adaptive Case Management provide business users the necessary freedom to react to unforeseeable circumstances by ad-hoc changes, but behavioral constraints are often defined and maintained on a...
The basis for the fourth industrial revolution is the availability of accessing all relevant information in real time by connecting all instances involved in the value chain. The ultimate goal is to manage the entire value chain process, improving efficiencies in the production process and coming up with better products and services. The essence of vertical networking comes from the use of cyber-physical...
We propose an efficient method for automatically extracting express waybills from parcel images, which is challenging due to varied resolution of parcel images, arbitrary direction of waybills and different information filled by senders. To address these challenges, logo matching is employed to extract the waybills. We begin by extracting scale-invariant feature-transformation (SIFT) keypoints from...
As the important part of the comprehensive transportation service system, the intermodal passenger transport can bring the comparative advantage of all sorts of travel transportation into full play and improve the transportation efficiency and service standards. It is an important point of promoting the comprehensive transportation construction. With the surging demand in the economically developed...
Achieving cloud security is not a trivial problem and developing and enforcing good cloud security controls is a fundamental requirement if this is to succeed. The very nature of cloud computing can add additional problem layers for cloud security to an already complex problem area. We discuss why this is such an issue, consider what desirable characteristics should be aimed for and propose a novel...
E-catalogues play a key role in e-procurement. Matching a product request from a buyer with products e-catalogues, helps companies to find business partners in e-marketplaces. Plethora of e-catalogue standards and enterprise specific formats is one of the major challenges in the matching process. In addition to this syntactic heterogeneity, the same product concept can be expressed using different...
Environmental deterioration problems have become increasingly prominent, which poses a serious threat to the survival and development of human society. cold chain logistics as the important method to ensure food quality, will generate huge energy consumption because it's strict temperature control, and the nonstandard logistics activity of cold chain logistics enterprise will cause the waste of resources...
Based on the social exchange perspective, this paper explore the relationship between high-performance work systems and the employee job satisfaction, and analyze the mediation effect of organizational identification. Through more than 200 employees at different levels in the enterprise investigation and using hierarchical regression analysis to deal with the data, the results show that: (1) High-performance...
This study provides an overview of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and highlights implications on Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (CGAAP) besides the influence IFRS will have on their future representation of Financial Statements — Annual Reports. However, the IFRS has developed a conceptual framework for the preparation and presentation of Financial Statement,...
Mature companies have good standards, specifications and maybe even an electrical safety program, but do they know how well these actually work? Verifying how sites perform against the company internal, external standards and processes, usually will involve an element of self-assessment, self-verification and then an external assurance view. The paper will take the reader along the journey the company...
Companies and individuals are becoming more dependant on technology, automated processes, the Internet of Things (IoT) and daily use of internet, mobile devices, and other tools that the technological revolution has created. But against the back-drop of rapid technological progress, cyber-threats have become a serious challenge that require immediate, continuous action. As cyber-crime poses an ever-present...
In the macroeconomic field, the investment in the human capital significantly relates to the output of the national economy. But as to the economic subject of the microcosmic market, what is the relationship between the human capital investment and the enterprise performance? Which contributes more to the performance of enterprises between the human capital and the material capital? This paper aims...
In recent year, the rise of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software-defined Networking (SDN) makes the service chain and application provisioning process much agile and simpler, promoting the development of Service Function Chaining (SFC). Service Function Chaining (SFC) provides flexibility and agility for deploying and managing network services. The most challenging problems in SFC are...
