a web services enabled marketplace architecture for Negotiation Process management
Decision Support Systems, 2005Co-Authors: Arie SegevAbstract:As the eBusiness environment becomes more pervasive and dynamic, Negotiations between companies are required more frequently than ever. Despite its potential value and the progress in research, the adoption of Negotiation systems has been slow in practice. We believe one reason for this is insufficient consideration of Process management aspects such as Process design, description, and deployment. Business Negotiations must be approached from the Process management perspective since they take place in the context of corporate Processes such as procurement or sales.In this paper, we study system support and automation of business-to-business (B2B) Negotiations from the Process management perspective. We propose a Web Services-enabled marketplace architecture for Negotiation Process management and refine it by adding pattern-based Process composition. We validate the concept by implementing the proposed architecture using BPEL4WS and evaluating it from various perspectives.

a neural networks approach for forecasting the supplier s bid prices in supplier selection Negotiation Process
Expert Systems With Applications, 2009Co-Authors: C OuyangAbstract:Supplier selection Negotiation is a sophisticated and challenged job due to the diversity of intellectual backgrounds of the negotiating parties, the many variables involved in supply-demand relationship, the complex interactions and the inadequate Negotiation knowledge of project participants. To do the job well, it is necessary to develop an intelligent system for Negotiation support in supplier selection Process. Therefore, an artificial neural network-based predictive model with application for forecasting the supplier's bid prices in supplier selection Negotiation Process (SSNP) is developed in this paper. By means of the model, demander can foresee the relationship between its alternative bids and corresponding supplier's next bid prices in advance. The purpose of this paper is applying the model's forecast ability to provide Negotiation supports or recommendations for demander in deciding the better current bid price to decrease meaningless Negotiation times, reduce procurement cost, improve Negotiation efficiency or shorten supplier selection lead-time in SSNP.

Reassessing the Australia-China Free Trade Agreement Negotiation Process
2020Co-Authors: Ling Ling HeAbstract:The Negotiation of the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) has been in Process since May 2005 and has survived two changes of government in Australia. The Negotiations have been on and off for many years. Recent development, however, indicates that the two countries are finally close to strike a deal. This paper examines the difficulties that bedevilled the Negotiation Process and how the circumstances have changed now. It also examines the way forward from both Australia and China’s perspectives.

on re invigorating the australia china free trade agreement Negotiation Process
The journal of world investment and trade, 2013Co-Authors: Ling Ling HeAbstract:Driven by both economic and geopolitical imperatives, Negotiation of the Australia-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) has been slow and difficult. The Negotiation Process has reached an impasse since the latest round took place in March 2012. Major reasons for this include difficulties encountered in negotiating on agriculture, services, investment, and government procurement contracts and surrounding populist resistance from both Australian and Chinese domestic constituencies. Following more than eight years of Negotiations and establishment of closer trade related ties, there is a lot at stake for both countries in the outcome of these discussions. This paper examines these issues and of the way forward towards a workable Negotiation Process.

Observations on the Australia-China Free Trade Agreement Negotiation Process
2010Co-Authors: Razeen Sappideen, Ling Ling HeAbstract:The proposed Australia-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) has been in the offing since 2005 and survived a change of government in Australia. While little of a conclusive nature has been achieved, given that such free trade agreements have a gestation period of between 15 to 20 years, there is much hope of a satisfactory resolution to the problems that bedevil it. This section note examines some of the obstacles the Negotiation Process has encountered and reviews the attempts made to overcome them.

development and evaluation of a profile Negotiation Process for integrating aircraft and air traffic control automation
1993Co-Authors: Steven M Green, Wim Denbraven, David H WilliamsAbstract:The development and evaluation of the profile Negotiation Process (PNP), an interactive Process between an aircraft and air traffic control (ATC) that integrates airborne and ground-based automation capabilities to determine conflict-free trajectories that are as close to an aircraft's preference as possible, are described. The PNP was evaluated in a real-time simulation experiment conducted jointly by NASA's Ames and Langley Research Centers. The Ames Center/TRACON Automation System (CTAS) was used to support the ATC environment, and the Langley Transport Systems Research Vehicle (TSRV) piloted cab was used to simulate a 4D Flight Management System (FMS) capable aircraft. Both systems were connected in real time by way of voice and data lines; digital datalink communications capability was developed and evaluated as a means of supporting the air/ground exchange of trajectory data. The controllers were able to consistently and effectively negotiate nominally conflict-free vertical profiles with the 4D-equipped aircraft. The actual profiles flown were substantially closer to the aircraft's preference than would have been possible without the PNP. However, there was a strong consensus among the pilots and controllers that the level of automation of the PNP should be increased to make the Process more transparent. The experiment demonstrated the importance of an aircraft's ability to accurately execute a negotiated profile as well as the need for digital datalink to support advanced air/ground data communications. The concept of trajectory space is proposed as a comprehensive approach for coupling the Processes of trajectory planning and tracking to allow maximum pilot discretion in meeting ATC constraints.

piloted simulation of an air ground profile Negotiation Process in a time based air traffic control environment
1993Co-Authors: David H Williams, Steven M GreenAbstract:Historically, development of airborne flight management systems (FMS) and ground-based air traffic control (ATC) systems has tended to focus on different objectives with little consideration for operational integration. A joint program, between NASA's Ames Research Center (Ames) and Langley Research Center (Langley), is underway to investigate the issues of, and develop systems for, the integration of ATC and airborne automation systems. A simulation study was conducted to evaluate a profile Negotiation Process (PNP) between the Center/TRACON Automation System (CTAS) and an aircraft equipped with a four-dimensional flight management system (4D FMS). Prototype procedures were developed to support the functional implementation of this Process. The PNP was designed to provide an arrival trajectory solution which satisfies the separation requirements of ATC while remaining as close as possible to the aircraft's preferred trajectory. Results from the experiment indicate the potential for successful incorporation of aircraft-preferred arrival trajectories in the CTAS automation environment. Fuel savings on the order of 2 percent to 8 percent, compared to fuel required for the baseline CTAS arrival speed strategy, were achieved in the test scenarios. The data link procedures and clearances developed for this experiment, while providing the necessary functionality, were found to be operationally unacceptable to the pilots. In particular, additional pilot control and understanding of the proposed aircraft-preferred trajectory, and a simplified clearance procedure were cited as necessary for operational implementation of the concept.
