HP Products Built to Protect the Environment 2007-02-01 IDG (International Data Group)

Eco-responsibility is an increasingly important item for customers. While the term "Eco-responsibility" may have different meanings for different customers, it's clear that what was once an aspiration is now becoming more central to business planning and purchasing decisions. Customers are becoming mindful of the ways in which their operations affect the environment. This includes labor decisions, parts sourcing, Research and Development (R&D), as well as in their IT decisions. While this paper focuses on the role of IT and environmental responsibility in the enterprise, this new sense of eco-responsibility is true for all customer types, including consumers. In fact, consumers today are more aware that their everyday decisions impact the environment.

Efficiently Generating k-Best Solutions for Procurement Auctions 2007-01-07 01:00:31 Hewlett-Packard

This paper considers the problem of generating k cheapest solutions to a class of procurement auction winner determination problems. A computationally efficient solution to this problem would enable a fundamentally new approach to decision support for procurement, based on "Mining" the k cheapest solutions. However, previous methods do not scale in crucial problem-size parameters, e.g., the number of sellers. The novel algorithm achieves an exponential performance improvement over previous methods, and scales polynomially in all natural measures of problem size. By efficiently computing k-cheapest solutions, the algorithm qualitatively expands the practical applicability of the data-exploration approach to procurement decision support.
