Information Technologies for
Small and Medium Enterprises




In the U.S., less than 10 percent of SMEs use state
incentive programs
Knowledge-based service economy with
automatic identification of merchandise
Setting aside the service economy, one million
vacancies in the manufacturing sector
Some responsibility for supply chain logistics may
rest on the shoulder of these manufacturing SMEs,
in addition to the shippers

How does today’s information
technology contribute




How does modeling and simulation assist in a
value chain for services?
What are the current thoughts on the services
provided by a fourth Party logistics broker?
How does one valuate “value” in a service chain
that would include not only traditional business
metrics, but also national and international
security?
How is in-transit visibility evaluated in a value
chain, and what are its enablers?

Identity Solutions & Information Quality




Identification technologies (RFID, Bar code…)
facilitate quality real-time data collection for
track/trace.
The archived supply-chain transactional data are
commonly collected through keyboarding
Typically, 80% of the effort in data mining is
spent in cleaning the data, and only 20% in
analysis.
Collecting transactional data through auto-ID
alleviates these shortcomings and will lead to
higher-quality information and richer knowledge.

Science of Logistics Planning & Execution



Has progressed significantly over the last two and three
decades
The “curse of dimensionality” in solving these business
problems has been tempered through:
o asymptotic error bounds
o a priori/robust optimization
o weight matrices for location and allocation
Applications in
o site location
o location-routing,
o competitive allocation of products/services,
o spatial economic forecasting
10
Software Interoperability



The ability of diverse supply chain logistics
systems to exchange information and to use the
information that has been exchanged. (IEEE
Definition)
Legacy applications should not be ignored as we
discuss software interoperability.
Software Interoperability can be achieved
through the use of standard implementation such
as web services and middleware wrapping.
11
Modeling CTL in a Virtual World



Three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds, like
Second Life (SL), provide a modeling-andsimulation (M&S) platform
investigating ubiquitous computing, locationaware systems, virtual RFID, massive use of
sensors, smart devices, workflows
testing these technologies in a simulated world
before deployment could lower costs
12
Human-Centered Distributed Logistics
Network


Design of Natural Human-Agent Interaction
Deployment of intelligent agents, which are
used to support the delegated information
processing on behalf of the human users
Modeling Team Decision-Making in MultiCultural Contexts
This investigates the effects of cultural
differences on team performance, behaviors,
and team cognition

Virtual Laboratory for Identity Solutions
Collaborative Research and Solutions Development for various
identification problems:
Personal ID , ID theft
 Intelligent supply chain (EPC global network)
Food, agriculture and fishery tracking and tracing for authenticity
and safety
Partnering with Information Quality Lab at UALR
Partnering with the Cyber Transportation Logistics
Partnership with other research centers and industries in
Arkansas
Funding is primarily needed to:
•Hire graduate/undergraduate research assistants
•Research equipment and writing grant proposals.

Looking Ahead





Globalization, technology and an ever-changing world
create significant challenges and opportunities
The world is converging toward the development of
robust and automatic systems of in-transit visibility
With today’s telecommunication network, E-commerce
evolved into Mobile Commerce
Supply-chain compliance-software provides electronic
collection, standardization and organization of supplier
information to facilitate cross-border world trade
For Aquaculture industry in AR, 5 AR campuses are keen
to provide leadership to develop strategies for electronic
marketing of the products..
