In this work, we analyze the spatio-temporal economic properties of multi-product supply chains. Specifically, we interpret the supply chain as a coordinated market in which stakeholders (suppliers, consumers, and providers of…
Realistic credit risk assessment, the estimation of losses from counterparty's failure, is central for the financial stability. Credit risk models focus on the financial conditions of borrowers and only marginally consider other risks from…
Rising electricity demand underscores the need for secure and reliable generation expansion planning that accounts for upstream supply chain constraints. Traditional models often overlook limitations in materials, manufacturing capacity,…
Enabling supply chain transparency (SCT) is essential for regulatory compliance and meeting sustainability standards. Multi-tier SCT plays a pivotal role in identifying and mitigating an organization's operational, environmental, and social…
Network dynamics may be viewed as a process of change in the edge structure of a network, in the vertex set on which edges are defined, or in both simultaneously. Though early studies of such processes were primarily descriptive, recent…
Post-fault dynamics of short-term voltage stability (SVS) present spatial-temporal characteristics, but the existing data-driven methods for online SVS assessment fail to incorporate such characteristics into their models effectively.…
In the past few years, the discoveries of small-world and scale-free properties of many natural and artificial complex networks have stimulated significant advances in better understanding the relationship between the topology and the…
The sustainability of supply chain plays a key role in achieving optimal performance in controlling the supply chain. The management of risks that occur in a supply chain is a fundamental problem for the purpose of developing the…
Supply chains are integral to global economic stability, yet disruptions can swiftly propagate through interconnected networks, resulting in substantial economic impacts. Accurate and timely inference of supply chain resilience the…
The short-term adoption of opportunistic networks (OppNet) depends on improving the current performance of this type of network. Software-Defined Networks (SDN) architecture is used by Internet applications with high resource demand. SDN…
Distributed software-defined networks (SDN), consisting of multiple inter-connected network domains, each managed by one SDN controller, is an emerging networking architecture that offers balanced centralized control and distributed…
We propose a financial liquidity policy sharing method for firm-to-firm supply networks, introducing a scalable autonomous control function for viable complex adaptive supply networks. Cooperation and competition in supply chains is…
Understanding how multi-scale network structure influences circadian rhythms in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is essential for uncovering the principles of rhythmic robustness and synchronization. Previous studies using synthetic SCN…
We consider a networked control system (NCS) consisting of two plants, a global plant and a local plant, and two controllers, a global controller and a local controller. The global (resp. local) plant follows discrete-time stochastically…
The study of social networks --- where people are located, geographically, and how they might be connected to one another --- is a current hot topic of interest, because of its immediate relevance to important applications, from devising…
Traffic forecasting is an essential problem in urban planning and computing. The complex dynamic spatial-temporal dependencies among traffic objects (e.g., sensors and road segments) have been calling for highly flexible models;…
Logistics networks arise whenever there is a transfer of material substance or objects (such as checked baggage on international flights) as well as energy, information, or finance through links (channels). A general concept of logistics…
Modern production systems are increasingly defined by dense networks of multi-tier sourcing dependencies, where localized upstream disruptions can cascade into system-wide collapses. While supply chain resilience has garnered significant…
Supply chain disruptions and volatile demand pose significant challenges to the UK automotive industry, which relies heavily on Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing. While qualitative studies highlight the potential of integrating Artificial…
In the operation of networked control systems, where multiple processes share a resource-limited and time-varying cost-sensitive network, communication delay is inevitable and primarily influenced by, first, the control systems deploying…
