REQUIRED) This paper examines the application of risk management strategies to the protection of customer information privacy at the corporate level of analysis. The emerging discipline of privacy risk management is virtually non-existent in academic discourse despite an expressed and growing interest by regulators and practitioners. We show how the concept and practices of operational risk man...

A digraph D is round if the vertices of D can be circularly ordered as VI, V2, ... , Vn so that, for each vertex Vi, the out-neighbours of Vi appear consecutively following Vi and the in-neighbours of Vi appear consecutively preceding Vi in the ordering. We characterize round digraphs in terms of forbidden substructures. Our proof implies a polynomial algorithm to decide if a digraph is round.

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are general-purpose optimization algorithms, inspired by natural evolution. Recent theoretical studies have shown that EAs can achieve good approximation guarantees for solving the problem classes of submodular optimization, which a wide range applications, such as maximum coverage, sparse regression, influence maximization, document summarization and sensor placem...
