A new approach to a local e-government portal for information management and deep searching

The paper introduces a new approach, that is, semantic Web techniques, to shed a new light on the solutions for local e-government information portal. After taking the comparison between traditional approaches and semantic approaches, the design of architecture and components of a local e-government information portal are illustrated in details based on semantic technologies. The paper also researches on the core technologies of implementation of the new approach, including the definition of e-government information portal Ontologies and searching algorithms.

Business Process Integration of Third-Party Logistics Service Providers in E-commerce

This paper is focused on analyzing business processes integration of third-party logistics service providers (3PLs) in e-commerce. 3PLs are often selected to take charge of the logistics design, delivery, storage, and transportation in a supply chain with their professional and value-added services. This paper establishes a framework of 3PLs business processes, which includes strategic processes, operational processes and enabling processes. To integrate the processes, this paper proposes a logistics management information system and studies the key information techniques

Generalized Operator Model in VMI and TPL Integrated Mode

With the logistics outsourcing more widely used, a growing number of third-party logistics (TPL) were introduced to the VMI (Vendor-managed Inventory) implementation strategy, in this mode, how to effectively integrate the logistics and information flow in the supply chain has become an important research topic. Due to the complexity and a certain randomness of this mode, this paper uses the generalized operator model (GOM) method combined the large-scale system and intelligent control and analyses the information transmission flow in this mode. In accordance with the decomposition and synthesis approach to first establish the coarse-grained GOM and further decompose level by level, according to each decision-making point or the control link to further establish the finer-grained GOM, finally combining the inventory information sharing to construct multi-granularity GOM.
