Optimizations for Risk-Aware Secure Supply Chain Master Planning J.UCS Special Issue: Security in Information Systems

Supply chain master planning strives for optimally aligned production, warehousing and transportation decisions across a multiple number of partners. Its execution in practice is limited by business partners’ reluctance to share their vital business data. Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMC) can be used to make such collaborative computations privacy-preserving by applying cryptographic techniq...

Special Issue on Volume Modeling

Volume graphics is concerned with graphical models defined in volume data types, such as regular and irregular volume datasets, scalar fields, spatial occupancy models, and other spatial or nonspatial representations, which are capable of modeling both solid and amorphous objects, and interiors as well as surfaces. Evolved from volume visualization techniques, volume graphics is emerging as an ...

Modeling and control of linear supply chain systems , experimental results

There is a supply chain modeling approach based on traffic flow theory which considers inventory levels and material flows. The resulting models are linear, although they are subject to constraints such as maximum production rates, as well as non negative inventory and flow values. In previous works of the authors a bounded PI control for inventory regulation was introduced. The closed loop sys...

Modeling of financial supply chain

The research work on supply-chain management has primarily focused on the study of materials flow and very little work has been done on the study of upstream flow of money. In this paper we study the flow of money in a supply chain from the viewpoint of a supply chain partner who receives money from the downstream partners and makes payments to the upstream partners. The objective is to schedul...
