Comparing the openness of archetypical business-to-government information sharing architectures: balancing advantages of openness with the control of risks

van Engelenburg, S.H. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Klievink, A.J. (author), Tan, Y. (author), Rukanova, B.D. (author)

Business-to-government (B2G) information sharing can benefit government organisations, as well as businesses.

What Belongs to Context?: A Definition, a Criterion and a Method for Deciding on What Context-Aware Systems Should Sense and Adapt to

van Engelenburg, S.H. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Klievink, A.J. (author)

Context-awareness refers to the ability to sense and adapt to context. With the rise of context-aware systems, designers are struggling with what variables should be sensed from the context. According to the definitions found in the literature, whether something belongs to context, has to do with whether it is relevant. However, what it means to...

A Blockchain Architecture for Reducing the Bullwhip Effect

van Engelenburg, S.H. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Klievink, A.J. (author)

Supply chain management is hampered by a lack of information sharing among partners. Information is not shared as organizations in the supply chain do not have direct contact and/or do not want to share competitive and privacy sensitive information. In addition, companies are often part of multiple supply chains and trading partners vary over...

Comparing a Shipping Information Pipeline with a Thick Flow and a Thin Flow

van Engelenburg, S.H. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Klievink, A.J. (author), Tan, Y. (author)

Advanced architectures for business-to-government (B2G) information sharing can benefit both businesses and government. An essential choice in the design of such an architecture is whether information is shared using a thick or a thin information flow. In an architecture with a thick flow, all information is shared via a shared infrastructure,...
