Green supply chain management has received increasing attention as consumers have become more environmentally conscious. Manufacturers are making green investments to meet consumers’ demands, while retailers in different markets often engage cooperative promotion attract consumers. This study develops game theoretic models for investigating two cross-market firms with channel structures, i.e., ...

This paper faces the energy management problem of cooperative microgrids in a smart district. In particular, aim research work is to propose an innovative optimization model solve district composed several microgrids, taking into account uncertainties key parameters. this context, objective threefold: i) maximize use purchased at day-ahead market; ii) minimize need additional and expensive real...

While cooperative buyer-supplier relations are an important source of sustainable competitive advantage, non-cooperative behavior persists widely. This paper tests a model incorporating non-cooperative behavior within a context of formal commitment, using data from the US auto industry. This ‘close, but adversarial’ model appears to be reasonably well supported by the data, suggesting that even...

today it seems to be necessary to generate innovative ideas in social and economic section to comparative advantage in new business opportunities. therefore, this study aimed to compared the views of experts of sports management and co-administration experts on the development of small and medium sport enterprises in the form of cooperative, in order to achieve economic and social goals. this r...

In economic management, we often use some (divisible) private resources to cooperative. Fuzzy coalitions always be used to describe this situation in cooperative fuzzy games. In this paper, we proposed two new solution concepts in NTU cooperative fuzzy games, and discussed their properties.

This paper addresses cooperative operation of symbiotic human-robot system. In order to implement cooperative operation, symbiotic human-robot system is modeled using frame-based knowledge representation. According to this knowledge model, the system is defined in the Software Platform of Agents and Knowledge Management (SPAK). With the support of SPAK, cooperative operation can be therefore ca...

Due to the crescent complexity of networks and systems, network management solutions are being pushed towards more distributed and cooperative models. Several specifications promoted by the IETF DISMAN charter already allow strong distribution of management tasks. Unfortunately, they are not adequate to achieve cooperative models. According to recent research, mobile agents provide a good platf...

Enforcement of global cooperation urges the rapid growth of cooperative work. As a typical application of it, cooperative editing is widely used in many fields gradually, especially in knowledge intensive application. Workflow is a kind of automation technology by predefined process rules and tasks. It can bring us clarity in process control and management, which are two important facets in coo...

In addition to establishing and maintaining knowledge spaces, cooperative knowledge organization specifically involves the structuring and adaptation of such spaces, taking into account existing materials and media. The open-source project sTeam, which is being coordinated and largely developed in Paderborn, allows the web-based establishment of an extensive document base as well as its coopera...

As wide-area network is spreading, cooperative software development in wide-area distributed environments is getting common. We are aiming at building a distributed development support system for object-oriented software. Integrated management of various distributed software components and support for cooperative work are necessary for distributed development support. In this paper, we focus on...
