Abstract-Today's business is more and more organized in collaborative networks. Although decision makers know the benefits of collaboration, they are afraid of losing control of their data, which is one of the main impediments for Cloud Computing. We propose a novel cloud based approach for collaboration in business processes with guaranteed control of the privacy of the data. The platform ensures the compliance with the companies' privacy policies and laws. The paper shows the definition of privacy policies and how they are converted into a well established access control language. An example helps to clarify the methods.
This contribution describes new engineering concepts for modular conveyor systems. Through modularisation of mechanical material flow systems and the decentralization of material flow control, the realization of flexible and scalable systems is facilitated. We describe the concept of the internet of things in logistics and discuss benefits of this approach towards the efficiency of a material flow system. Subsequently, the main part of the paper deals with new ways for engineering such systems
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
