It is one of the crucial components of electronic logistics systems to manage logistics information of cargos and transportation companies and to mediate appropriate brokerage between them. Due to the advance of e-Commerce technologies many kinds of logistics transactions can be handled by means of EDI or XML/EDI applications. but the brokering processing relies mostly on the traditional processes and the research in this field is still at the initial stage. In this paper we study a logistics brokering system for ships and cargos and describe the design and implementation of the system. We analyze the brokering constraints for logistics of cargos and ships and construct an optimization model for their brokering. We also suggest a brokering procedure and a simple heuristic algorithm with respect to the proposed matching criteria. The experimental result shows that the proposed greedy-based heuristic algorithm performs very well. In its response time the proposed algorithm executed within a couple of seconds independently of the number of cargos and the container capacities of ships. The output of the algorithm is very close to that of the optimal solution. showing higher than 95% of approximation. The proposed system is implemented for the Web environment using JSP and PL/SQL.

We developed a Part Information Brokering System, namely PIBS, that can inter-link part suppliers and buyers using WWW(World Wide Web). The major contribution of this paper is that the system provides a 3D collaboration environment that enables multiple users to share the same workspace where they cooperatively manipulate part features in real time. PIBS carries out two major functions: one to maintain part data in a part library, and the other to provide the means for the clients to cooperate. An object-oriented database is used for the part library which stores apart information registered by part suppliers. VRML(Virtual Reality Modeling Language) the ISO standard for 3D visualization on WWW, is used to represent 3D part models. Several Java programs have been implemented to support synchronous and a synchronous communication of the 3D models. Once the users are interconnected through the system, a user's manipulation of part objects is transparently and instantaneously transmitted to the others. This means that all the participants can are the same view and movement of the 3D part models. Since the system is developed using a Java applet-server architecture, it requires no additional software other than standard web browser. The prototype system has been successfully implemented, and demonstrated its applicability to virtual 3D part information sharing.

This paper presents a study on the optimization for brokering between cargos and ships for future e-logistics. The primary contribution of this research is that we establish an optimization model by formalizing the criteria for the brokering such as time constraints, weight constraints, and preference values between cargos and ships. Another important contribution is that we not only investigate the complexity and the tractability of the optimal brokering problem but present how to evaluate the performance of the optimization program through an experiment. We first derive the preference values between cargos and ships using the time and the weight constraints. These preference values between each pair of cargos and ships are assigned to corresponding binary decision variables as coefficients in the objective function. The optimization model selects pairs of cargos and ships in a way that the sum of the preference values is maximized while satisfying given constraints. Experiment shows that the Davis-Putnam based optimization program finds optimal solutions in reasonable time for the problems with less than 90 decision variables.

To get the items that a buyer wants in Internet auction. he must search for the items through several auction sites. When the bidding starts, he(the buyer) needs to connect to these auction sites frequently so that he can monitor the bid stats and re-bid. A reserve-price auction reduces the number of connections, but this limits the user's bidding strategy. Another problem is equity between the buyer and the seller. Both the buyer and the seller should profit together within proper limits. In this paper, we propose an auction agent system using a collaborative mobile agent and a brokering mechanism called MoCAAS (Mobile Collaborative Auction Agent System), which mediates between the buyer and the seller and executes bidding asynchronously and autonomously. This reduces connection costs. offers more intelligent bidding and solves the equity problem.

IoT is the foundation technology that the things share the information through connected with Internet to provide service based on these information. It is applied to various fields such as personal, public and industry. Therefore, the service development is required to meet the requirement of the various service environments. The IoT service environment will be developed as the participation IoT service environment which increase the value and efficiency such as the Broadcasting and web services changed from the service provider environment to the user participation service. The user can directly reflect their requirements using the user participation IoT service environment. So, the types of IoT services will diverse and accelerate the spread of IoT service. In this paper, we derive the IoT service element through the analysis of various service scenarios, and propose the participation IoT service model and modeling mechanism. It provides the sequential service model and the relation based service model according to the service modeling proficiency of user. The proposed environment provides the web-based user interface that is implemented by the participation IoT service brokering platform.

With the proliferation of EC, many customers have been participating into online auction or group-buying market over searching internet shopping-malls to purchase goods. To support the customer's convenient transaction, lots of agent systems are developed to facilitate the customer's product brokering, merchant brokering, and negotiation of transaction. However, many of these systems have focused upon supporting transaction at only one type of marketplace. Since these marketplaces have different transaction settlement mechanism, it is necessary to develop the system that utilizes the customer's transaction including the selection of the type of marketplace to buy. Then we classify the kinds of B2C electronic marketplace according to the protocol by which the market operated. The structure of negotiation message is developed using XML schema and RDFS under the characteristics and message example of each marketplace in this research.

In the Internet of Things(IoT) era, many of the things or objects that enclose our environments are able to associate with those things on the Internet. To construct IoT systems, it needs to consider a component for acquiring and aggregating of sensory data via things with sensors and instruments, which is connected by diverse networks, in IoT environment. An IoT system is intrinsically distributed in a variety of ways. In addition, to manage an IoT system efficiently, interoperability is needed to meet requirements while the IoT system is designed to deliver data among its applications. In this paper, a reference architecture based on asynchronous messaging is defined and used for designing an IoT system. To apply the architecture, we discuss how to manage data streams with real-time characteristics and make a prototype based on pipe-and-filter to produce and consume them by a pub/sub messaging system NaradaBrokering.

This study is designed to examine international export control norms, analyze current national export control system and identify the problems thereof, presenting several proposals for development in the system. The Republic of Korea, as a signatory of non-proliferation treaties and multilateral export control regimes, is obligated to comply with the international non-proliferation and export control norms, irregardless of hard or soft laws. Korea's export control system has been implemented in earnest since 2005; however, it contains serious problems in terms of the legal system and objectives of relevant laws and regulations, terms and definitions of the items subject to export controls, catch-all requirements, brokering license, response to the U.S. re-export controls, and so on. Proposals for development in the system include (i) enacting an independent law integrating the current dual-use items export control law and regulations, (ii) making use of the term of "strategic items" as a uniform terminology replacing 'goods etc.', 'strategic goods(inclusive of technology)', 'strategic goods, etc.', 'WMD, etc.' so as to preclude any possibility of misunderstanding, (iii) rewriting the catch-all control requirements, (iv) introducing registration system of brokering firms, (v) including provisions to comply with U.S. reexport controls, and (vi) providing stakeholder with correct and full information on export controls.
