When solving complex Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), the state value function can be represented by a parameterized function or a lookup table. Parameterized functions are space-efficient but computationally complex, while lookup tables are efficient but struggle with large state spaces, leading to memory waste or high query complexity. This study proposes a lookup table design with O(1) query complexity and no memory waste for complex MDPs commonly found in dynamic vehicle routing problems. We define a state key as a numerical triple and design two 3D arrays. Though initially memory-wasteful, we apply operations like mirroring, rotation, and translation to remove unused memory while maintaining O(1) query complexity. Our contributions are: (1) making state aggregation optional in certain MDPs, and (2) efficiently managing memory for querying complex data. An illustrative example is used throughout to enhance clarity.
This paper addresses the problem of document-level event extraction as a critical step toward automated knowledge acquisition for intelligent systems. Extracting structured event knowledge from unstructured text is essential for downstream knowledge-based applications such as knowledge graph construction, decision support, and intelligent question answering. However, existing approaches struggle to effectively capture long-range dependencies and complex inter-event relationships within documents while maintaining computational efficiency. To address these challenges, we propose a novel knowledge-aware framework, the Graph Convolutional Network with Pseudo-trigger Combination Recognition(GCN-PCR). The proposed model explicitly represents entities, mentions, and sentences as interconnected nodes in a relational graph, enabling structured modeling of semantic dependencies and co-reference information across document contexts. Furthermore, the pseudo-trigger combination strategy enhances the identification of event structures by improving the robustness of event boundary detection and argument association. Extensive experiments on two public datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods. More importantly, our framework provides a scalable and effective solution for transforming unstructured textual data into structured event knowledge, facilitating its integration into knowledge-based systems.
Traditional journal ranking metrics like the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) depend on raw citation counts, often overlooking citation context, interdisciplinary influence, and temporal dynamics, which restricts their ability to accurately evaluate scholarly impact. This paper introduces an edgeconditioned Graph Attention Networks (GAT) to refine JIF-based assessment by incorporating citation types weighted through adjustable schemes tailored to evaluation priorities. Trained on 11,054 journals from the Journal Citation Reports database, the model achieves strong predictive accuracy for JIF and produces rankings that closely align with JIF, SCImago Journal Rank, and Article Influence metrics. It uses an enhanced GAT variant by leveraging citation and publication counts, refining journals in rankings, reflecting their broader influence. In contrast to JIF's rigid, static methodology, this approach provides a configurable framework that adapts to diverse scholarly assessment needs, offering improvement over conventional citation-based metrics. By predicting JIF with high precision, this work bridges the gap between traditional bibliometric indicators and modern networkbased methods. It advances journal evaluation by combining predictive power with a deeper understanding of citation counts and their types with publication volume in one framework.
In today's big data era, where a significant volume of business data is generated daily, managing conflicting information within business process networks is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing an efficiency model for business process networks tailored to handle conflict information, drawing on queuing theory and evidence theory. Firstly, we introduce a novel approach for measuring conflict information based on evidence theory and Pignistic probability transformation theory. Next, we tailor efficiency models for the four fundamental structures found in business process networks: sequential, selective, parallel, and loop structures, using queuing theory to manage conflict information effectively in each scenario. We further extend this approach by conceptualizing virtual business activities, allowing us to view the entire business process network as a sequential structure of virtual business activities, facilitating efficiency measurement across the network. Utilizing these measurements, we formulate the queuing service of the business process network as a nonlinear programming problem aimed at minimizing time, thus determining the optimal service rate for business process activities. Finally, we demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of our proposed model through an experimental analysis focused on the railway intermodal transportation business process. The experimental results indicate that our model significantly reduces the impact of conflicting information, leading to a measurable improvement in the efficiency of the business process network. Specifically, the model achieves a notable enhancement in the coordination and execution of intermodal transportation activities, thereby streamlining operations and reducing decision-making uncertainties. This structured approach not only addresses the challenge of managing conflicting information within business process networks but also provides a clear framework for understanding and optimizing network efficiency.
Progress in Chinese Named Entity Recognition (CNER) has highlighted lexicon-based methods that use word information to boost performance. However, these methods neglect two crucial aspects: the regularity of word boundary and the characteristics of the NER task. To address these shortcomings, we introduce BADA-LAT, a Transformer architecture that incorporates word boundary information and introduce local attention computation. It can enhance entity boundary recognition and concentrate the attention weight of the target token on adjacent characters and matched words. Furthermore, to mitigate the issue of class imbalance, we augment the original training data using large language model (LLM). Our method outperforms other lexicon-based ones, as shown in experiments on four Chinese datasets.
Abstract Service continuity (SC) plays an important role in service industry. In this paper, a daily home parcel pick‐up scheduling and routing problem is studied with SC consideration. In this context, a fixed group of couriers is assigned to provide services exclusively within a specific region. Each day, customers within this region either have pre‐scheduled services in advance or stochastically make service requests during the couriers' shifts. Pre‐scheduled service request can be serviced by any courier serving the region, while stochastic service request can only be serviced by the courier most familiar with the corresponding customer. Consequently, the study problem is divided into two distinct sub‐problems: (i) the allocation of pre‐scheduled requests to couriers before their tours start and (ii) routing each courier independently to service both its allocated customers and its potential stochastic customers. The sub‐problem (ii) is formulated as a Markov decision process and an existing dynamic programming method is applied to solve it exactly. For the sub‐problem (i), Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure‐based meta‐heuristics is proposed. Finally, these meta‐heuristics are evaluated through computational experiments, yielding valuable application insights.
With the annual growth of social logistics volume, the business volume at the warehouse end continues to increase and management becomes more complex. In order to measure and provide feedback on the effectiveness of the warehouse management system to optimize the warehousing business process, it is necessary to simulate it. The article develops a warehouse business process simulation system that integrates workflow engines based on process interaction strategy. An experiment is designed using the goods warehousing process as an example, and the results verify the effectiveness of the simulation system. The system simulates time through a random number generator. Each link of the process assigns tasks to different workstations for concurrent execution through the listener. The simulation process is created in the central warehouse and uniformly scheduled by the scheduler. The system also has the function of equipment random failure to simulate its impact on warehouse efficiency. Finally, the simulation results can be output for statistical analysis of the data. The results show that the system can calculate and analyze the entire process of warehouse business processes, provide useful guidance for the work of shipping personnel and warehouse management personnel, and achieve refined management of warehouse resources.

Colleges and universities have always been the main export base of social talents. However, with the rapid development of the society, the demand for compound talents continues to grow, and the current college curriculum design lags behind the social demand, resulting in the contradiction between the current social demand for intelligent warehousing talents and the lack of practical operation ability of college graduates. To solve this problem, this paper designs an intelligent course of “theory + practice + simulation” based on the experimental teaching platform and the hardware and management system of automatic warehouse equipment. The course is composed of WMS (warehouse management system) based on workflow with a unified data model and simulation module. The unified data model can provide data guarantee for simulation modeling, and the experimental teaching platform is available for students to learn the course knowledge independently. Finally, the combination of theory and practice will be achieved to deepen students’ understanding of automated warehouse and their cognition of intelligent warehouse technology and management, so as to meet the social demand for compound intelligent warehouse management talents.
The executive time of workflow network has an important effect on the efficiency of business process. In this paper, the activity executive time is divided into the service time and the waiting time, then the lead time can be extracted from the waiting time. The executive time formulas of the three basic structures in workflow network are deduced based on the activity lead time. Taken the process of e-commerce logistics as an example, insert appropriate lead time for key activities by using Petri net and the executive time optimization model is built to minimize the waiting time with the time-cost constraints. Then the solution program-using VC++6.0 is compiled to get the optimal solution, which reduces the waiting time of key activities in the workflow, and verifies the role of lead time in the timeliness of e-commerce logistics.
随"互联网+物流"产生的智能托盘,为带板运输提供新的发展机遇,而目前对智能托盘应用价值的研究较为缺乏.本文以三级供应链中托盘共用为背景,构建智能托盘与传统托盘混合共用的闭环循环流通系统,将循环周期分为八个阶段,建立系统总成本和效益测算模型,分别以传统托盘返还率、损坏率和智能托盘损坏率为随机变量测算系统总成本与效益.测算结果表明,相较于传统托盘的在途丢失和周转效率,使用智能托盘能更有效地降低系统总成本并提升效益,传统托盘的适量损坏并不会提高系统总成本,而智能托盘的损坏与系统总成本呈正相关关系,因此智能托盘的使用将提升托盘共用系统的稳定性.

The transfer of activity information plays an important role in running process of workflow management system. It not only affects the self-adaption efficiency of workflow, but also can bring about resource consumption problem, which caused by the judgement of transfer of complex activity information. Aiming at this, based on belief rule-base inference methodology using the evidential reasoning approach (RIMER), it is proposed that a novel workflow network model to reduce complexity of the transfer process. After an activity node rule with belief degrees is defined, the activity node rule base is built by using activity history tables in workflow log data. Moreover, calculating the similarity between input activities and rules of activity node and judging the status of activity nodes are carried out to obtain activation rule set. The evidential reasoning (ER) approach is adopted for rule inference on the basis of calculating the activation degree of rule in activation rule set. Subsequently, comprehensive rules are constructed so as to achieve the transfer of activity information. And workflow network model is also successfully developed. Besides, this model can be further applied to improve the benefit and value of business process management.

Contradiction separation based deduction is a key generalized inference rule of binary resolution, and has unique ability for automated theorem proving. Different inference rules need different proof searching strategies. This paper proposes two methods to avoid the repeated deductions and redundant clauses generated in the contradiction separation based deduction, that is, an improved clauses and literals weighted based method, and a redundant clauses prejudging and backtracking strategy. This work provides fundamental methods for contradiction separation based deduction on practical implementation.
