However, a physical human-machine interaction must assure security and safety. The safety requirements of collaborative manufacturing are explored and the techniques to assure safety in different collaboration modes are investigated to identify the challenges of safety assurance of human–machine collaborations in shared workspaces. In addition, system-level safety requirements of collaborative manufacturing are discussed to reveal the importance of sustaining similar safety levels for all system components and tools in developing an integrated collaborative system.","PeriodicalId":11750,"journal":{"name":"Enterprise Information Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42993969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It contains four types of traders whose information sets and trading strategies are different. The application of artificial intelligence is employed in informed and uninformed traders’behaviour and heterogeneity. When information is exogenous, social networks result in higher volatility and trading volume and lower price distortion and bid-ask spread. When information is endogenous, the influences are reversed. The reason is that social networks harm information production after traders tend to rely on information from communication, instead of spending a cost on it..","PeriodicalId":11750,"journal":{"name":"Enterprise Information Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45322759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, prior investigations suggest that AVs are accident-prone when they behave differently from humans. It is necessary to design an autonomous vehicle system (AVS) that can take human behaviour into account. This study capitalises on the wealth of data from traffic accidents caused by humans and discovers association rules to improve AVSs. Findings show that fatal accidents likely co-occur with “right near”, “head on” or “lane side swipe” scenarios. They provide important implications for designing traffic scenarios that are critical for training an AVS.","PeriodicalId":11750,"journal":{"name":"Enterprise Information Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49197398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, an adaptive specification process captures customer requirements in an accelerated manner by presenting the most informative attribute for a customer to specify. Then, a maximal marginal relevance-based recommendation set is presented, based on the customer’s partial specifications. This process ensures broad coverage of customers’ needs by considering not only the relevance of each product to their requirements but also redundancy in the recommendation set.","PeriodicalId":11750,"journal":{"name":"Enterprise Information Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42008415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
