A network of ports co-competition relationship is presented in this paper, including building, analyzing and evolution stimulation of the network. The validity of the proposed method is tested with the example of Pearl River Delta ports group.","PeriodicalId":147180,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2013 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121929091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a novel integrated wind and solar power forecasting is proposed. Different with previous systems, the proposed system can predict the power of wind and solar electric farms by combination of the high-resolution predictions of their generating equipments, such as wind turbines and photovoltaic panels. Therefore, the proposed system can better capture the power characteristic of renewable electric farms, and achieve the better forecasting performance. Firstly, the proposed system makes high-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) for single generating equipment by leveraging the real-time weather monitoring data. Secondly, it uses a combination of different statistical models to achieve the short-term and very short-term predictions of wind turbines and photovoltaic panels, and then lead to the predictions of wind and solar electric farms. A real-world case in China shows that the system can accurately predict the wind power and photovoltaic power for the next day and the next four hours. The average monthly accuracies of short-term and very short-term forecast are 92% and 94% respectively, which largely outperform the requirement for the state grid.","PeriodicalId":147180,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2013 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129091151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the process of software development, time, cost, manpower are all critical factors. At the stage of software project planning, project managers will evaluate these parameters to get an efficient software develop process. Software effort evaluate is an important aspect which includes amount of cost, schedule, and manpower requirement. Hence evaluate the software effort at the early phase will improve the efficiency of the software develop process, and increase the successful rate of software development. This paper proposes an artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model that incorporates with Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) which is improved by applying particle swarm optimization (PSO), PSO-ANN-COCOMO II, to provide a method which can estimate the software develop effort accurately. The modified model increases the convergence speed of artificial neural network and solves the problem of artificial neural network's learning ability that has a high dependency of the network initial weights. This model improves the learning ability of the original model and keeps the advantages of COCOMO model. Using two data sets (COCOMO I and NASA93) to verify the modified model, the result comes out that PSO-ANN-COCOMO II has an improvement of 3.27% in software effort estimation accuracy than the original artificial neural network Constructive Cost Model (ANN-COCOMO II).","PeriodicalId":147180,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2013 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125525011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many business analytics problems require the optimal assignment of limited resources to actions and activities to maximize some result or objective such as profit. We present a novel approach to solving this class of analytics problems by modeling the relationship between resource effort and expected return as a dose-response signal and formulating its causal estimation as one of kernel regression. The estimated expected value and variance of the result are then used to optimize resource allocation so as to maximize expected response while minimizing the risk around response subject to business constraints. We apply this approach to the task of optimally assigning salespeople to enterprise clients using real-world data, and show that profit can be substantially increased with fewer salespeople and reduced risk.","PeriodicalId":147180,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2013 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121312287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of IRMA is to make practically feasible a mobility that balances efficiency of time, energy/pollution and cost. Therefore, IRMA supports users in plotting the itinerary and also when en-route. IRMA architecture includes a smartphone application and a set of web services to gather and interpret any relevant source of information, that includes open data, crowd data and big data. The technology is SOA/EDA (Service Oriented Architecture / Event Driven Architecture) and uses GTFS format to access open data.

The continuing trend of the IC industry disintegration has resulted in specialized companies that are independent yet co-dependent upon one another. To gain the competitive advantage through a seamless integration with TPL, the IC manufacturing industry sets a very high standard of TPL provider selection. The goal of this paper is to identify the key selection criteria of TPL providers from the empirical study of the IC manufacturing industry in Taiwan, one of the largest IC producers worldwide. The research result indicates that Performance, Cost, and Service are the top three criteria dimensions, in which the Document Accuracy, Problem Solving Capability, Continuous Cost Reduction, Cost Control of Value-added Services, and Value-added Services provision are the top five individual selection criteria. The research result can serve as a valuable reference for other companies with similar industrial characteristics as IC manufacturers.","PeriodicalId":147180,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2013 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134584906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
