Australia has unique experience with merchant and regulated interconnectors that is relevant to the international debate on transmission investment and its regulation. Contrary to a widespread view, and regardless of differences of opinion about market power and stranding risks, the proposed regulated interconnector would be uneconomic despite having eventually been approved. Australian experie...

The multivariate time series generated from merchant transaction history can provide critical insights for payment processing companies. capability of predicting merchants’ future is crucial fraud detection and recommendation systems. Conventionally, this problem formulated to predict one under the multi-horizon setting. However, real-world applications often require more than trend prediction ...

We propose a new anonymous fingerprinting scheme using Okamoto-Uchiyama cryptosystem[1]. In the previous schemes[2]-[4] the enciphering rate is so small that it seems very difficult to implement for any applications. In order to improve the rate, we have applied the Okamoto-Uchiyama cryptosystem for our fingerprinting protocol. As the results, a buyer can commit a fingerprint to a merchant bein...

This article presents a study of online digital library (DL) uses. Based on three data sources, it combines social sciences methods and, innovative technology for capturing and processing IP traffic data. The study shows that DL users differ from average Internet users as well as from classical library users, and that their practices involve particular contexts, among which personal researches ...

Fingerprinting schemes allow tracing of illegally redistributed multimedia contents. When using asymmetric fingerprinting, the merchant does not know the marked copy nor the embedded mark, so fraudulent distribution of the content by the merchant –which could lead to framing honest customers– is not possible. A problem with the deployment of classical asymmetric fingerprinting protocols is that...

This paper first describes a few existing models for product and merchant brokering and automated negotiation in the framework of agent-based e-marketplaces. Our analysis shows that only simplest types of automated negotiation protocols are currently presented online, whereas some powerful systems have been already implemented in the product and merchant brokering field. Then we give an overvie...
