Using auction mechanism design theory, this paper designs a novel double auction mechanism which is appropriate for allocation of multi-unit homogenous and divisible resources in the Grid. In the Grid, there are multiple resource consumers and resource providers. Futhermore, various transaction-related costs will be incurred when a resource consumer trades with a resource provider. We prove that the mechanism not only can achieve incentive compatibility and individual rationality for risk-averse resource consumers and resource providers, but also can be weekly budget balance. The numeral results show that the mechanism achieves high efficiency.","PeriodicalId":252323,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Management of e-Commerce and e-Government","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127409032","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 supply chain consists of multi-supplier and multi-customer, suppliers can provide many kinds of product to different customers directly or through electronic market. Uncertain variable costs are described as symmetrical and limited intervals. A robust operation model for this supply chain is constructed by using the robust optimization method based on interval analysis. The operation model is a multi-objective programming problem satisfying several conflict objectives, such as meeting the demands of all customers, minimizing the total system cost, the availabilities of suppliers’ capacities not below a certain level, and robustness of decision to uncertain variable costs. The result of a numerical example proved that the solution of the model is the most conservative. However, it can ensure the robustness of the operation of the supply chain effectively.","PeriodicalId":252323,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Management of e-Commerce and e-Government","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130874001","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}

However, both of them are not suitable for the schedulability analysis of real-time systems. The scheduling ability of the strong semantics model is limited because of the constraints of the strong timing, whereas the weak one can not guarantee the timeliness of schedules due to the non-compulsory nature of weak timing. In this paper, we propose a mixed semantics model for time Petri nets that efficiently addresses the problem. In our models, the firability of a transition is not dependent on its conflicting transitions, but on its non-conflicting ones. This not only extends the schedule scope of the model, but also keeps some certain strong timing on choices. Therefore, the mixed semantics model can provide a good support for the schedulability analysis and timing verification of time-critical systems.","PeriodicalId":252323,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Management of e-Commerce and e-Government","volume":"94 38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129095928","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}

Beginning at the selection of an indiscernible attribute, other attributes are added one by one until forming a set, which can discern a knowledge system. By the formal description for set operation, the related theories of knowledge reduction are constructed, especially the theorem of identity operation in the paper. To illustrate our approach, two cases are analyzed based on these theories. And then two algorithms for knowledge reduction are designed. Algorithm 1 can get all the MDCS of a knowledge system, while algorithm 2 with higher reduction efficiency can get a MDCS of that by using heuristic search rules. Compared with time complexity and space complexity of DM, MDCS has less time and space according to our analysis for the algorithms of DM and MDCS. Knowledge reduction based on Set Theory involves some new approaches.
