The article focuses on the development of a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model to predict sales using data from China's C2C platform. The study addresses the importance of consumer reviews in influencing purchasing decisions on C2C platforms, especially for products like mobile phones sold by companies like Xiaomi and Huawei.

The determination of the cash to cash cycle (C2C) for supply chains provides concrete and practical means to integrate financial flow into the scope of supply chain management. In this study we propose that segmenting benchmarked companies in accordance to its corresponding role in their supply chain enhances established methodology for conducting more accurate C2C Benchmarking. This paper contribution is two-fold, since demonstrates improved standards for supply chain benchmark practice and illustrates it on a Colombian office chair industry case study for a manufacturer and retailer dyad. The paper concludes that intrinsic differences between supply chain roles make direct comparison of little use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many novel cooperative ITS systems are based on Vehicle-to-X communication. Cooperative road side infrastructure for development and test of applications is installed by several research projects. This paper describes an approach for measuring the achievable communication distances around an ITS Roadside Station as well as for post processing and visualizing the data. With these measurement results it is also possible to monitor changes of the communication distances due to hardware aging or environmental aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper presents the CoVeL system which aims to reach lane-level localization accuracy for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. It highlights the potential of using raw GPS measurements in a cooperative system together with a high-accurate digital map. The focus of this paper is on the definition and the implementation of the Car-to-Car message extensions needed to transmit GPS measurements between vehicles. Furthermore, the integration of EGNOS/EDAS satellite corrections into C2C communication is motivated and shown. Finally, this work demonstrates how new communication technologies can successfully contribute to enhanced localization accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Lack of trust is one of the fundamental reasons for losing customers from “faceless” e-commerce websites in the consumer-to-consumer market. In order to combat problems with dishonest market participants, a reputation system based on the trustworthiness of sellers has been widely established by the service provider. Traditionally this trust model is mainly based on feedback mechanism while neglecting the other important factors, such as, refund rate, which may lead to transaction risks in the new transaction. This paper proposes a global reputation rating method by using joint beta probability density functions to combine positive feedback rating and refund rate. The new trust model has the advantage of tractability and scalability as well as its theoretical sound basis on statistics. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The work presents the integration of the e-commerce technologies into Information Society, and promotes digital technologies and software agents in such internet operations. The models of commerce on the world wide web, B2B and B2C, as well as firmware infrastructures: Open Market and Lotus Domino Marchand Server Pack. The management and the models of working for the e-commerce, presented in the work, are company-to-business(B2B), business-to-customer(B2C), customer-to-customer(C2C), customer-to-business(C2B), non-Business, Intra-Business, government-to-citizen(G2C), government-to-government (G2G) and government-to-business(G2B). Finally, there are described the technique and methodology of e-commerce applications on the internet. Here the point is made on the management of application projects of e-commerce on the internet, using the following solutions: ASP (Active Server Pages) and Object Web. The global market for information security services nearly tripled in 2007, up from about $6.7 billion in 2000, according to International Data Corporation. This trend that focuses on information security stresses the translation of strategic business objectives and models into an information systems architecture that combines data process, workflow, financial and simulation models. E-commerce security is a process, not an end result. Managers need to understand how advanced technology creates more robust, scalable and adaptable information systems for organizations dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation. The paper presents the key questions used for assessing the existing status and the operation mode, and proposes some alternative solutions and recommendations for organizations operating in the digital economy.
