Supermarkets face the problems of customer queuing and SCM optimizing. Even a series of supermarket service models are adopted currently; however, these issues still exist. This paper examines the framework of this popular service and proposes a quantitive supermarket service metric for evaluation. It introduces three existing supermarket service models and propounds a new hybrid model on the point of improvement which is an integration of e-supermarket and typical model, concentrating on self-service and automated service. The paper gives detailed analysis and comparisons based on Game Theory and simulated experiment by expressions separately for customer, supermarket and supplier and proves the superior feature of the hybrid model. It also suggests a feasible solution using RFID and explains the solution to the biggest challenge about backend bottleneck.

Comprehensive Framework

Self-service technology is growing enormously across the globe, but there is no clear theory that unites us in order to understand this type of service. It suggests an extensive conceptual frame, which includes numerous well known attitude theories, to illustrate how attitudes have a central role to play in shaping self-service intentions and behaviour. The system enables better consumers’ decisions to be understood and forecast through the detailed analysis of customer expectations towards the use of a technology-based auto service. You use the Internet to explain how our system can be used to research customer conduct relating to a certain self-service technology. Takes perspectives on technology-based self-service from the current literature and also integrates several specific features of the internet that influence theory. Discusses the practical effects of our marketing model and offers recommendations for future studies on technology-based self-service in general and the Internet in particular. It also contributes to attitudinal literature with its integrative approach to theory.

South African law draws a distinction between offers and invitations to treat. Although the intention with which a statement is made is usually cited as a controlling factor in determining its proper classification, there are a few cases in which the classification of a declaration into either an offer or an invitation to treat is done by rules of law with very little concern for the intention of a party. Such is traditionally the case amongst others with advertisements and displays of goods on windows or shelves in a self-service store. The classification of these scenarios into invitations to treat is usually premised on certain perceptions at common law, such as the need to protect traders from the risk of inundation by purchase orders, and the right of traders to select their customers. With electronic commerce on the rise, tradesmen today prefer to advertise their goods and services online through websites. Some of these websites go beyond traditional advertising. They can finalize sale transactions, and even perform contracts without any human review on their side. These novel features in trading websites challenge the old conceptions of the common law of contract concerning the proper classification of advertisements and self-service stores. Hence the question arises whether a typical model of a modern trading website constitutes an offer or an invitation to treat. In light of the foresaid technological developments, it is important in the digital age to reconsider the position of the law, and to develop it where necessary with a view to accommodating electronic contracts.

Based on the author’s detailed analysis of the archive of completed references, the specific classification of lexicographic references is introduced. The virtual lexicographical references are the result of joint efforts of bibliographers and lexicographers. This type of reference holds a specific place in bibliographic reference user service. Polyfunctionality and specific diversity make information specific features of this type of references. The focus is made on the subtypes of the lexicographic references; the examples are provided. Potential lexicographical and bibliographic services are suggested for the libraries’ virtual environment to support user self-education and self-service and intensive use of lexicographic information. The article is complemented by the table to present the classification of lexicographic virtual references.

Spatial Prisoner’S Dilemma

How do people decide which action to take? This question is best answered using Game Theory, which has proposed a series of decision-making mechanisms that people potentially use. In network simulations, wherein games are repeated and pay-off differences can be observed, those mechanisms often rely on imitation of successful behaviour. Surprisingly, little to no evidence has been provided about whether people actually imitate more successful opponents when altering their actions in that context. By comparing two experimental treatments wherein participants play the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma game in a lattice, we aim to answer whether more successful actions are imitated. While in the first treatment, participants have the possibility to use pay-off differences in making their decision, the second treatment hinders such imitation as no information about the gains is provided. If imitation of the more successful plays a role then there should be a difference in how players switch from cooperation to defection between both treatments. Although, cooperation and pay-off levels do not appear to be significantly different between both treatments, detailed analysis shows that there are behavioural differences: when confronted with a more successful co-player, the focal player will imitate her behaviour as the switching is related to the experienced pay-off inequality.

This paper suggests a game theory problem in which any feasible solution is based on the Lyapunov theory. The problem is analyzed in the static and dynamic cases. Some properties of Nash equilibria such as existence and stability are derived naturally from the Lyapunov theory. Remarkable is that every asymptotically stable equilibrium point (Nash equilibrium point) admits a Lyapunov-like function and if a Lyapunov-like function exists it converges to a Nash/Lyapunov equilibrium point. We define a Lyapunov-like function as an Lp-norm from the multiplayer objective function to the utopia minimum as a cost function. We propose multiple metrics to find the Nash/Lyapunov equilibrium and the strong Nash/Lyapunov equilibrium. Finding a Nash/Lyapunov equilibrium is reduced to the minimization problem of the Lyapunov-like function. We prove that the equilibrium point properties of Nash and Lyapunov meet in game theory. In order to validate the contributions of the paper, we present a numerical example.

Traffic Rules

The aim of the work is to connect individual behavior of drivers with traffic intensity. By diversifying the populations of drivers into two categories, often considered in this type of an analysis, CO (cooperative) and DE (defective), the tendency of drivers from each of these groups to deviate from compliance with traffic rules is established. The effective driver behavior translates into disrupting traffic by slowing it down. Participant interactions are described using game theories that provide information for simulations algorithms based on cellular automata. Three different ways of using this combination of descriptions of traffic participants to examine the impact of their behavior on the traffic dynamics are shown. Directions of the further, detailed analysis are indicated, which requires basic research in the field of game theory models.
