SAS for Demand-Driven Planning and Optimization Listen to customers, focus on the market and respond to demand in near-real time • Quickly and easily visualize market signals and data to predict outcomes. Sense near-real-time market data to understand shifts in demand for your products. Simulate future demand by varying the values for price, sales promotions, marketing events and other related ...

A case-based approach to adaptation for estimation tasks is presented in which there is no requirement for explicit adaptation knowledge. Instead, a target case is estimated from the values of three existing cases, one retrieved for its similarity to the target case and the others to provide the knowledge required to adapt the similar case. With recursive application of the adaptation process, ...

In this paper we present a model of distribution as a natural consequence of deterministic concurrency; a purely declarative form of concurrency that preserves referential transparency. This extends the demand driven model used as the operational basis of functional languages, into one with multiple independent demands without the need to allow non-determinism to appear at the user level. The a...

As logic programming applications grow in size, Prolog systems need to efficiently access larger and larger data sets and the need for anyand multiargument indexing becomes more and more profound. Static generation of multiargument indexing is one alternative, but applications often rely on features that are inherently dynamic which makes static techniques inapplicable or inaccurate. Another al...

Information technology is vital to supply chain management in the areas of integration and information sharing. Demand-Driven is a characteristic in Lean and Agile supply chains. Based on recent developments, we suggest that there is a new demand-driven strategy emerging for supply chain management. This new form of demand-driven strategy is information technology intensive and is becoming a di...

ACD Term Rewriting (ACDTR) is term rewriting modulo associativity, commutativity, and a limited form of distributivity called conjunctive context. Previous work presented an implementation for ACDTR based on bottom-up eager normalisation, extended to support the conjunctive context. This paper investigates the possibility of using a demand-driven normalisation strategy for ACDTR. Again, dealing...

As a member of the consortium for the "Computation and Prediction of Receptor−Ligand Interaction" the Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute, GMD−IPSI , Darmstadt, participates in the national joint project RELIWE. Docking−D is the part of RELIWE which considers heterogeneous database support and in which GMD−IPSI takes the leading role. In the current situation the receptor a...

What are the drivers of retailers' prices and what, if any, are their financial consequences? The results of a large-scale quantitative analysis show that retail prices are mainly driven by pricing history (50%), acquisition costs (25%), and demand feedback (12.5%). In contrast to pricing history, demand-based pricing is associated with higher retailer (and manufacturer) financial performance. ...
