Our study involved community workshops to determine priorities for what to include in a datasheet. We then developed three sample datasheets for datasets from the UK Web Archive, observing and recording the process. Our findings identify the resources needed to create a datasheet, outlining the effort required in terms of time, roles and expertise required. Findings also reveal several notable tensions that emerged in the process, locating mismatches between a framework from machine learning and applications in cultural heritage settings.

Aircraft structural assembly requires many complex activities to be performed over an intricate precedence network and is subject to interactions among the various production resources, which makes planning and scheduling challenging to be carried out without the support of adequate analytical tools. In this paper, we propose optimization approaches based on integer linear programming (ILP) and constraint programming (CP) models designed to support scheduling decisions in aircraft structural assembly, explicitly integrating shift-based workforce planning by deciding the number of workers by type assigned to each work shift over the planning horizon. The computational experiments, conducted with real data collected in a case study at a Brazilian aeronautical company, reveal that the proposed ILP and CP models, along with general-purpose solvers, are effective in solving realistic-sized instances.

We also assume that each RS has a limited number of chargers, and, therefore, possible overlaps at RSs among EVs have to be properly managed. We formulate the resulting electric vehicle routing problem with time windows and capacitated recharging stations (EVRPTW-CRS) through mixed integer linear programming (MILP).

However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs. This study explores the requirements for a parcel exchange framework through a game-theoretic lens. We focus on auction-based mechanisms to facilitate horizontal cooperation, optimize exchanges, and minimize delivery costs and emissions. Our approach prioritizes ensuring that carriers report accurate marginal delivery costs while maintaining business privacy. First, we define the key properties of an exchange mechanism for redistributing parcels among carriers. Our analysis reveals a conflict between incentive compatibility and budget balance when non-free disposal is enforced. Among the mechanisms considered, the Vickrey–Clarke–Groves (VCG) mechanism is the most suitable, though it tends to overpay carriers. The rationale for using VCG is that we consider incentive compatibility and allocation of all parcels more important than budget balance to ensure long-term participation of carriers and delivery fulfillment. In a computational study, we analyze a VCG-based parcel exchange under realistic settings. The experiment considers several parcel carriers within a region with heterogeneous market shares. In the simulated auctions, carriers compute marginal costs for the parcels, and the winner determination problem is solved via a linear program. A random parcel assignment serves as proxy for noncooperative behavior. The results demonstrate that second-price premium reward payments are typically moderate and that second-price compensation for allocated parcels remains superior to noncooperative last-mile parcel logistics.</p>","PeriodicalId":49176,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions in Operational Research","volume":"34 2","pages":"1040-1071"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/itor.70222","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149206164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two types of decision-makers are considered: a leader, who defines the network structure and sets usage prices, and a follower, who selects the optimal way to use the network for shipping commodities. The leader aims to maximize profit, while the follower seeks to minimize transportation costs. A bilevel optimization formulation is proposed and reformulated into a single-level equivalent model. To solve it efficiently, we develop a Co-Evolutionary Algorithm (Co-EA) and test it on three well-known datasets adapted to our problem. The novelty of the proposed Co-EA lies in the interaction between its co-evolving populations: rather than representing leader and follower solutions separately, each population is associated with a subset of the leader's decision variables. For each leader decision, the follower's optimal response is computed, ensuring bilevel feasibility. Extensive computational experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed Co-EA compared with general-purpose solvers applied to the reformulated model. The best Co-EA solutions are also used as warm-starts for the exact solver, confirming the quality of the heuristic results. Finally, managerial insights are derived regarding how the number of hubs affects the backbone network configuration.

The standard model uses a static Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG) regression. Other specifications, such as CS‐ARDL(1,0), interaction, quadratic, interactive fixed‐effects CCEMG threshold and dynamic subgroup estimators, allow for cross‐sectional dependence, adjustment dynamics and heterogeneity. The results show no statistically significant average, short‐run or long‐run effect of digitalisation on carbon intensity. The interaction terms of financial development and institutional quality, and the squared digitalisation index, are also not statistically significant. Although the threshold model estimates a digitalisation level of 1.438, the likelihood‐ratio confidence interval covers the search range, suggesting weak identification. Furthermore, digitalisation does not significantly affect carbon intensity in most country subgroups; the only exception is a long‐run positive and marginally significant effect in countries with high‐energy intensity. Energy intensity stands out as the most significant positive contributor to carbon intensity. Hence, the results refute the theoretical expectations of Ecological Modernisation and Socio‐Technical Transition about the inherent environmental benefits of digital growth. Digital connectivity is an enabling infrastructure, with environmental impacts conditional on electricity supply and use. Given policy and firm practices, investments in digital connectivity should go hand in hand with investments in clean electricity, energy efficiency improvements and industry decarbonisation to advance SDGs 9, 12 and 13.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"410 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149198931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies the information sharing decisions of an agency-selling platform and a physical retailer in a dual-channel supply chain where a supplier sells a product through these two channels. We find that the commission rate and channel competition intensity play an important role in determining the equilibrium sharing decisions. In particular, a large commission rate prevents the platform from sharing information with the supplier because the platform is worried that the shared information will be used by the supplier to optimize retail sales and thus cause the demand transfer from the platform to the retailer. By contrast, a large competition intensity forces the retailer to share information to seek a strong responsiveness of the retail price to updated demand. Interestingly, both the platform and the retailer may encounter a prisoner's dilemma and the undesirable “lose-lose” outcome could potentially be mitigated if the platform reduces its information accuracy. Moreover, the supplier's decision to buy information will make all three players more profitable when it cannot obtain information for free. This research highlights how equilibrium information sharing decisions are affected by the interaction between the platform's agency-selling mode and the wholesale price contract used in the retail channel. The findings also provide useful insights for managers to make their information sharing decisions.</p>","PeriodicalId":49176,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions in Operational Research","volume":"34 2","pages":"1245-1270"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
