This paper aiming at customer consumption preferences of B2C website, customer reviews of clothing products are grabbed and preprocessed to extract feature factors. The Bayesian network model of B2C customer preferences is constructed to calculate node conditional probability distribution. Sensitive factors was recognized and dynamically adjusted. The results show that: Under the influence of the parent nodes, the customers’ evaluation of each characteristic factor variable’s subnode has a higher probability of “moderate” and “good”. The probability change of the overall evaluation node and sensitivity factors has a positive impact on the probability of other factors. Customer consumption preferences can be judged and predicted according to the probability.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125590353","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}

Supply chain management in logistics is a perfect fit for adoption of IoT, since it involves shipment of assets being moved, tracked and housed by a number of machines, vehicles and people each day. Smart Contracts are terms and conditions parties can specify that assure trust in the enforceability of the contract and provide visibility at every step of a supply chain. IoT devices can write to a smart contract as a product moves from the factory floor to the store shelves, providing real-time visibility of an enterprises entire supply chain. This paper proposes a smart logistics solution encapsulating smart contracts, logistics planner and condition monitoring of the assets in the Supply Chain Management area. A prototype of the solution is implemented which demonstrates accountability, traceability and liability for asset handling across the supply chain by various parties involved in a logistics scenario.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134634286","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, however, we study whether opaque sellers can apply full return policy as an effective tool to win competitive advantage in retailing markets. We consider the channel structure which has an opaque seller, a regular seller and a manufacturer as members. For this structure, we construct the Stackelberg game model, provide the unique equilibrium, and bring up the conditions of offering full return policy for the opaque seller. Furthermore, we investigate how the market differentiates in the equilibrium results. We theoretically analyze the impact of customer return policy on profits, demand and pricing determination of supply chain members. We also provide numerical examples to illuminate the influence of net salvage value on profits, demand and pricing determination of the channel members. Our study provides theoretical support for opaque sellers in customer return policy and pricing decision.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133469696","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 lower level assigns passengers to trains by constructing a train service network based on train stops, and an improved F-W algorithm is proposed. A case study is carried out using the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail in China as the background.

Hence, in order to improve the knowledge representation and searching of Manchu costume culture, an ontology-based method with semantic searching is proposed in this paper. Firstly, Manchu costume was classified and indexed according to professional view of ethnic study based on surveys and literatures. Secondly, the ontological knowledge base of Manchu costume was constructed using Protégé and OWL software tool. Thirdly, the search algorithm and engine of Manchu costume was designed. Then implemented by JAVA language, integrated with Jena inference engine as well to improve the matching performance. Finally, an APP of Manchu costume was developed with HTML5 language on APICloud ECS to validate the proposed method. The contribution of this paper is threefold: a) constructing a knowledge base of Manchu costume based on ontology technique, which is extendible and generalizable to other national costume; b) proposing the semantic searching engine based on rule-based reasoning using SPARQL query language; c) implementing an APP for validating the proposed method for improving the knowledge representation and semantic searching of costume culture.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123411430","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, stability in the statistical cross-validation-based procedure means statistical indifference. The estimated results of original sample and the cross-validated sample still have a minor difference and imply uncertainty. A simulation-based analysis that is a powerful tool to analyze a model with uncertainty and can provide more convincing evidence for the stability of the measurement model is absent and is an important issue to be studied. Therefore, this research launches a Bayes-based Monte Carlo simulation analysis procedure using a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm and prior distribution information to validate the stability of Lin’s short-version BUSQUAL. The result of the study indicates that Lin’s short-version BUSQUAL model with 14 items and four factors displays stability and therefore offers a stable and reliable approach for measuring the service quality of city bus.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"34 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130440420","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}
