Distributed ledger technology in supply chains: a transaction cost perspective

With the emergence of distributed ledger technology (DLT), numerous practitioners and researchers have proclaimed its beneficial impact on supply chain transactions in the future. However, the vast majority of DLT initiatives are discontinued after a short period. With the full potential of DLT laying far down the road, especially managers in supply chain management (SCM) seek for short-term cost-saving effects of DLT in order to achieve long-term benefits of DLT in the future. However, the extant research has bypassed grounding long-term as well as short-term effects of DLT on supply chain transaction with empirical data. We address this shortcoming, following an abductive research approach and combining empirical data from a multiple case study design with the corresponding literature. Our study reveals that the effects of DLT on supply chain transactions are two-sided. We found six effects of DLT solutions that have a cost-reducing or cost avoidance impact on supply chain transactions. In addition, we found two effects that change the power distribution between buyers and suppliers in transactions and a single effect that reduces the dependency of supply chain transactions on third parties. While cost-reducing and avoidance as well as dependency-reducing effects are positive effects, the change in power distribution might come with disadvantages. With these findings, the paper provides the first empirical evidence of the impact of DLT on supply chain transactions, which will enable managers to improve their assessment of DLT usage in supply chains.     

Object-oriented DBMS requirements

The requirements on an object-oriented DBMS for management of information in a large, complex enterprise are presented. These requirements aid in the achievement of an environment characterized by data sharing, open architectures, application and data portability, and assurance of data integrity. They were defined from the point of view of a user of the DBMS; therefore they describe the expected functionality of the DBMS and do not specify the method of implementation to achieve this functionality. They encompass requirements on the data model, query and data manipulation languages, the system architecure, interfaces to the system, change management, and transaction management.

An Object-Oriented Transaction Model

In object-oriented database systems(OOBSs),the traditional transaction models are no longer suitable because of the difference between the object-oriented data model(OODM)and the conventional data models(e.g.relational data model).In this paper,transction models for advanced database applications are reviewed and their shortcomings are analyzed.Exchangeability of operations is proposed instead of commuativity and recoverability for using more semantics in transaction management.As a result,an object-oriented transaction model(in short,OOTM)is presented.It is not modeled for some special application,but directly based on object-oriented paradigms.A transaction is regarded as an interpretation of a metho.Each transaction(even subtransactions)keeps relative ACID(Atomicity,Consistency,Isolation,Durability)properties,therefore the special problems appearing in OOBSs such as“long transactions”,“visibility of inconsistent database state”can be solved.

基于绿色证书交易机制的含风电场电力系统动态环境经济调度

为了促进风电消纳以及提高电力系统的经济性,构建基于绿色证书交易机制的含风电场电力系统多目标动态环境经济调度（DEED）模型,提出一种基于反向学习混沌搜索的OLCS-MOEA/D算法的DEED调度求解方法。首先,采用广义反向学习初始化种群提高种群多样性,并引入基于Logistic映射的混沌搜索算法以增强算法局部搜索能力。然后,为了验证算法的性能,采用标准测试函数F1—F7进行测试,同时将该算法对模型进行求解,获得了比其他算法范围更广和分布均匀的Pareto解集前沿。最后,对基于绿色证书交易机制的动态环境经济调度与传统动态环境经济调度进行结果对比分析,通过仿真算例验证该模型和算法的有效性和优越性。     

数字签名技术的应用

数字签名技术建立在公钥加密系统基础之上,可以检验数据传输过程中是否被篡改以及数据的真实性和完整性。利用其提供的安全保障机制,在某市自建的横向联网系统中实现了对交易报文在传递过程中的安全加密,从软件架构上进一步完善了系统的安全体系。     

美国对“国有企业私有化抵消补贴”的认定及我国的策略

美国商务部判断国有企业私有化抵消补贴方法经历了几次修改。1989年美国商务部认为国有企业独立交易实现的私有化将会消除过去得到的补贴;1991年美国商务部又得出相反的结论。1993年美国商务部推出了“三步法”,要求被申请人自行证明私有化过程中补贴利益的完全偿还,以证明补贴利益没有被传递。目前美国商务部运用的是“同一主体法”,即如果交易前后的实体为同一个实体,则补贴将会传递给新所有者,私有化之后的企业会获得补贴利益;反之,则不会获得补贴利益。我国的策略是坚持WTO主张的独立交易法进行认定。     

宁波承接国际生产性服务外包的SWOT分析

服务外包已经成为经济全球化背景下的一种新型产业组织模式,而服务业尤其是生产性服务业的发展水平已经成为衡量一个国家或地区产业结构高级化程度的重要标志。在产业转移趋势不断加强的背景下,研究我国如何承接国际生产性服务外包,具有战略意义。本文基于服务外包的相关理论,结合宁波承接国际生产性服务外包的SWOT分析,提出了宁波承接国际生产性服务外包的对策。
