The Third Party

Cloud computing uses virtualization technology to provide users with different types of resources in the form of services. The third party plays a crucial role in coordinating cloud market between cloud providers and users. As for providing services or trading, the extra broker fees are required for the middleman because the third party facilitates transactions. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the third party is trusted, which can lead to information leakage, data tampering, and unfair trading. Blockchain technology is an emerging technology that can store and communicate data between entities that unnecessarily trust each other. To resolve the problems, this paper presents the blockchain-based trust and fair system and develops the smart contract of auction and transaction. The prototype system is implemented based on the Hyperledger Fabric. The experimental results prove the feasibility of the scheme.

e-Auction improves the efficiency of bid transaction. However, the protection of bidders’ privacy, transaction fairness and verifiability, transaction data security, high cost of third-party auction center, and other issues have attracted more attention. According to the transaction process and basic principles of the sealed auction, we explored the problems existing in the current sealed-bid e-auction schemes. Based on the blockchain technology, we proposed a sealed-bid e-auction scheme with smart contract technology, Bulletproofs zero-knowledge proof protocols, and Pedersen commitment algorithm. The proposed scheme constructed an auction mechanism without the third-party auctioneer so as to restrict the behaviors of auction parties for the sake of auction security, reliability, fairness, and privacy protection. Compared with the related sealed e-auction schemes based on blockchain technologies in six metrics, we conducted the experiment to show that the proposed scheme protected the bid information from leakage well and successfully verified the winning bid price and the related bidder by all transaction participants without the third-party auctioneer.

Features like the distributed ledger, consensus mechanism, asymmetric encryption technology, smart contract and Token of blockchain can lower transaction cost, enhance trust between customers and merchants, as well as eliminate false payment and consumer information leakage, problems which are common in current payment of cross-border E-Commerce platform. Based on the analysis of existing scholars, this paper studied two payment models: digital cash payment based on blockchain technology and the application of blockchain in third-party payment platform. Then the paper discussed the mechanism of blockchain in cross-border e-commerce payment platform, and creatively proposed a blockchain cross-border e-commerce payment platform, serving as reference and guidance for further development of blockchain technology in cross-border payment.1

Abstract In the work, there was a method of problems examination presented in the certified quality management system according to the ISO 9001 standard. The own method of problems examination was suggested on the basis of reports from audits of the third party. There are method assumptions as well as practical application presented for the examination of nonconformities and weaknesses on a sample of 892 organizations certified by a chosen certifying body. Different types of compilations of obtained results are showed. Different possibilities of their application for the examination of relations of identified problems were indicated, depending on the size and profile of examined organizations. Different types of statistical tests were used in the method together with their possibilities. Concrete examples of uses of the method and statistical tests were provided for examining the relations between the size as well as profile of the organization and the number as well as type of nonconformities and weaknesses. It was attempted to determine what possibilities the method provides and to give the examples of its practical use. Additionally, an attention was paid to potential difficulties when applying the method.

Modern Era

In this modern era, all organizations depend on internet and data so, maintaining of all data is done by the third party in large organizations. But in this present on-developing world, one have to share the data inside or outside the organization which incorporates the sensitive data of the venture moreover. Data of the organization have sensitive data which should not share with any others but unfortunately, that data was there in the third party hands so; we need to protect the data and also have to identify the guilt agent. For this, we propose a model that would evaluate and correctly identifies guilt agents, for which a recursive partitioning has been created which is a decision tree that spills data in to the sub partitions and does the easiest way to get alert and at least one specialist or it can autonomously accumulate by some different means. The main intention of the model is to secure sensitive information by recognizing the leakage and distinguish the guilt agent.

The Impact

To develop more competitive strategies for different types of remanufacturing companies under the trade-in remanufacturing policy, this paper investigates the impact of the trade-in remanufacturing policy and consumer choice behavior on decisions of a traditional brand remanufacturer and a third-party brand remanufacturer by using a consumer utility model. The results suggest that the trade-in remanufacturing policy increases demand for the third-party brand, but does not increase demand for the traditional brand. Further, although trade-in remanufacturing policy increases both brand prices, it also increases consumer surplus and corporate profits. Neither the traditional brand remanufacturer nor the third-party brand remanufacturer can completely monopolize the remanufacturing market. In this situation, the traditional brand remanufacturer should strive to increase consumer loyalty, and the third-party brand remanufacturer should strive for consumer recognition of third-party remanufactured products.

Ambivalent Relationship

Researchers have emphasized the positive and negative influences of ambivalent leader-follower relationships, but it is not clear when the ambivalent relationship is associated with good or bad influences. To answer this question, we reviewed the definition and identified 10 different types of ambivalent leader-follower relationships. Further, we demonstrate that the negative outcomes (more inflexibility, disengagement, and worse performance) can be explained by the workplace stressor perspective, and that the positive outcomes (more flexibility, engagement, and better performance) can be explained by paradox view. Finally, drawing from conservation of resources (COR) theory, we integrate workplace stressor framework and the paradox view to address when the ambivalent leader-follower relationship is beneficial or detrimental for followers. We proposed that the degree of ambivalence, support from the third party, and integrative complexity of follower will influence the possible positive or negative influences. Limitations and future directions were also discussed.

Architecture Development

The key objectives of this paper is to propose a design implementation of blockchain based on smart contract which have potential to change international mobile roaming business model by eliminating third-party data clearing house (DCH). The analysis method used comparative analysis between current situation and target architecture of international mobile roaming business that commonly used by TOGAF Architecture Development Method. The purposed design of implementation has validated the business value by using Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculation. This paper applies the TOGAF approach in order to address architecture gap to evaluate by the enhancement capability that required from these three fundamental aspect which are Business, Technology and Information. With the blockchain smart contract solution able to eliminate the intermediaries Data Clearing House system, which impacted to the business model of international mobile roaming with no more intermediaries fee for call data record (CDR) processing and open up for online billing and settlement among parties. In conclusion the business value of blockchain implementation in the international mobile roaming has been measured using TCO comparison between current situation and target architecture that impacted cost reduction of operational platform is 19%. With this information and understanding the blockchain technology has significant benefit in the international mobile roaming business.
