Abstract
Proactive and agile supply chain risk management (SCRM) ensures that the activities of a supply chain achieve their desired aims. The first task in SCRM is risk identification. In this work, we focus on external risks by capturing relevant information about external occurrences such as political or environmental events, etc., which may negatively impact the supply chain operations. The timely identification of external risk events assists risk managers in deploying mitigation strategies to address such risks. One of the great resources for such identification is news. However, the large volume of news makes manual identification of the relevant news frustrating, time-consuming, and almost impossible. We have built a proactive risk identification system that automatically identifies and retrieves the most relevant news relying on advanced natural language processing (NLP), reinforcement learning (RL), and risk managers' feedback to address the abundance-of-news problem. We will demo the functionality of this system using informative scenarios.

| Other | IEEE PerCom, now in its 21st year, will be held in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), during March 13-17, 2023, as a physical in-person conference. PerCom is the premier annual scholarly venue in pervasive computing and communications. Pervasive computing is constantly at the forefront of mobile systems research, and has found its way into many commercial systems due to tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and topics such as wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, ambient intelligence, and smart devices. IEEE Percom 2023 will be held in person. Remote presentations and pre-recorded videos are not allowed unless all authors of an accepted paper are under special circumstances that prevent them from attending the conference in person. Requests for such exceptions will be considered carefully by the organizing committees. We are sympathetic to concerns and sentiments about our in-person focus. We will fully accommodate remote authors/speakers if they have Visa-related travel issues or COVID/health-related travel issues. |
