Most existing work models the background knowledge of one individual adversary or privacy attacker, or makes a worstcase assumption that attackers will act as one: colluding through sharing ...

The bullwhip effect problem is one of the most important issues in supply chain management. Limited information sharing increases the difficulty of reducing the bullwhip effect and leads to inefficient supply chain management. The purpose of this paper is to explore new ways to reduce the bullwhip effect in supply chain systems that face uncertainties with respect to information sharing. We fir...
