Both sides prefer partners that could generate significant values better process abilities. Moreover, experienced manufacturers are preferred by branded who may even be willing compensate intermediary more for facilitating preference. Empirical research, measuring such and intermediary’s pricing (through commission) observed firms’...

The development of Generative AI enables large-scale automation product design. However, this automated process usually does not incorporate consumer preference information from a company's internal dataset. Meanwhile, external sources such as social media and user-generated content (UGC) websites often contain rich design information, but is utilized by companies in generation. We propose semi-supervised deep generative framework that integrates preferences data into design, allowing to...
Big data analytics and management often need to exploit the processing storage power of cloud computing. It is obviously important choose a service with good quality. Meanwhile, users fear leakage loss privacy if their sensitive processed in cloud. In this paper, we propose novel selection method, called PQsel, where estimated by colligating its capability protection (CoPP) quality (QoS). Using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation technique AHP-based approach, calculate CoPP each based on CoPPs...
