• Abstract: Enabling supply chain transparency (SCT) is essential for regulatory compliance and meeting sustainability standards. Multi-tier SCT plays a pivotal role in identifying and mitigating an organization's operational, environmental, and social (ESG) risks. While research observes increasing efforts towards SCT, a minority of companies are currently publishing supply chain information. Using the Design Science Research approach, we develop a collaborative platform for supply chain transparency. We derive design requirements, formulate design principles, and evaluate the artefact with industry experts. Our artefact is initialized with publicly available supply chain data through an automated pipeline designed to onboard future participants to our platform. This work contributes to SCT research by providing insights into the challenges and opportunities of implementing multi-tier SCT and offers a practical solution that encourages organizations to participate in a transparent ecosystem.

• Designing Trustful Cooperation Ecosystems is Key to the New Space Exploration Era [0.0]
  In the emerging space economy, autonomous robotic missions with specialized goals such as mapping and mining are gaining traction. distributed ledger technology (DLT) might serve as a mechanism for enterprises to explore space resources through a transparent, reliable, non-proprietary digital platform. We argue that the benefits of DLT from an economic perspective are weighted against the drawbacks from a technical perspective.

  We propose a novel Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach to design generic Congestion Control (CC) algorithms. Our solution, MARLIN, uses the Soft Actor-Critic algorithm to maximize both entropy and return. We trained MARLIN on a real network with varying background traffic patterns to overcome the sim-to-real mismatch.

  Agent-based supply chains have been proposed since early 2000; industrial uptake has been lagging. We find that agent-based technology has matured, and other supporting technologies that are penetrating supply chains are filling in gaps. For example, the ubiquity of IoT technology helps agents "sense" the state of affairs in a supply chain and opens up new possibilities for automation.
