The Bazaar as a Model for Knowledge Work
Knowledge and Process Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents fieldwork that extends existing metaphors of knowledge work as a process shaped by hierarchical or market forces. A qualitative, ethnographic study of six knowledge‐intensive businesses in two countries identifies striking parallels with the Middle Eastern bazaar in contrast to Western impersonal markets and hierarchies. We

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the impacts of Volume‐Based Procurement (VBP) policies on pharmaceutical supply chains, with a focus on the strategic behaviors of manufacturers. VBP aims to reduce costs and stabilize supplies by centralizing procurement through competition based on volumes and prices.

Finding Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Sets on Arbitrary Graphs
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A 2‐packing set for an undirected, weighted graph G=(V,E,w)$$ G=\left(V,\kern0.3em E,\kern0.3em w\right) $$ is a subset 𝒮⊆V such that any two vertices v1,v2∈𝒮 are not adjacent and have no common neighbors. The Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Set problem that asks for a 2‐packing set of maximum weight is NP$$ \mathbf{NP} $$‐hard. Next to 13 novel data

Exact Solutions for the Moving Firefighter Problem on Trees
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The moving firefighter problem (MFP) is a more realistic variant of the classic firefighter problem (FP), where firefighters require time for both travel and defense. Unfortunately, the only known exact solution for the MFP does not scale. In this paper, we establish that the MFP is NP‐complete on trees of maximum degree three and present four

Exploiting Caching for Millimeter-Wave TCP Networks: Gain Analysis and Practical Design
IEEE Access, 2018 Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications are a key enabler of gigabit access using large spectrum resources. Most relevant works focus on the design of radio access networks (RANs), but a transport layer design tends to be overlooked despite its ...
