Explaining and Prioritizing Supplier Evaluation Indicators with a Meta-Synthesis Approach by Sayyed Mohammad Reza Davoodi, Mehdi Papahn Shoushtari, Rasoul Bahalou Houreh, Hamid Reza Rezaei

“…By analyzing them, supplier evaluation indicators were classified into 5 dimensions, 19 sub-dimensions, and 112 components, and their effect coefficient was determined using the Shannon entropy method.Findings: The results showed that price, quality, on-time delivery, revenue, organizational structure, human resource management, energy management, environmental management, customer orientation, and green management indices are the most effective indicators in evaluating suppliers.Originality/Value: Supplier selection and evaluation are imperative in creating an effective supply chain. …”

Complexity control method of random forest based HEVC by Peng WEN, Zongju PENG, Fen CHEN, Gangyi JIANG, Mei YU

“…High efficiency video coding (HEVC) has high computational complexity,and fast algorithm cannot perform video coding under restricted coding time.Therefore,a complexity control method of HEVC based on random forest was proposed.Firstly,three random forest classifiers with different prediction accuracy were trained to provide various coding configurations for coding tree unit (CTU).Then,an average depth-complexity model was built to allocate CTU complexity.Finally,the CTU coding configuration,determined by the smoothness,average depth,bit,and CTU-level accumulated coding error,was used to complete complexity control.The experimental results show that the proposed method has better complexity control precision,and outperforms the state-of-the-art method in terms of video quality.…”
