Configuring and operating global production networks
Global supply chains and worldwide spread subsidiaries are a topic for both huge enterprises as well as for small and medium sized enterprises. The challenge lies in the right allocation of functions and competencies within the global production network and in their coordination and integration in order to gain the desired outcome and to reach the objectives tied to the networks. In this contex...
متن کاملTowards Self-Configuring Networks
Current networks require ad-hoc operating procedures by expert administrators to handle changes. These configuration management operations are costly and error prone. Active networks[2, 3] involve particularly fast dynamics of change that cannot depend on operators and must be automated. This paper describes an architecture called NESTOR that seeks to replace labor-intensive configuration manag...
متن کاملGlobal Production Networks and China’s Processing Trade
This paper unveils a systematic pattern in China’s processing trade. In a cross-section of Chinese provinces, the average distance traveled by processing imports (import distance) is negatively correlated to the average distance traveled by processing exports (export distance). To explain this pattern, we set up a three-country industry-equilibrium model in which heterogeneous firms from two ad...
متن کاملConfiguring Sessions in Programmable Networks
The provision of advanced computational services within networks is rapidly becoming both feasible and economical. We present a general approach to the problem of configuring application sessions that require intermediate processing by showing how the session configuration problem can be transformed to a conventional shortest path problem for unicast sessions or to a conventional Steiner tree p...
متن کاملScalable and Efficient Self-configuring Networks
Managing today’s data networks is highly expensive, difficult, and error-prone. At the center of this enormous difficulty lies configuration: a Sisyphean task of updating operational settings of numerous network devices and protocols. Much has been done to mask this configuration complexity intrinsic to conventional networks, but little effort has been made to redesign the networks themselves t...
