课程摘要：

Talk1: My publication and editorial experience（7月28日）

Summary: In this talk, I will start with a brief review of my publication experience and recent research grants, then explain the general paper review process. The focus of the talk is to share my editorial experience of TRE including how to avoid desk rejection and the full review process. I will also explain the paper evaluation criteria in the UK REF system.

Talk2: Container shipping supply chain: overview, management, and opportunities（7月28日）

Summary: In this talk, I will explain the importance of container shipping industry and its development. The key players, logistics flows and their relationships will be discussed. Five logistics segments within container shipping supply chain will be explained. The main management problems and potential research opportunities will be discussed in each individual logistics segment.

Talk3: Stochastic dynamic programming: introduction and applications in container management（7月29日）

Summary: Manufacturing production system and supply chain systems are often characterised by dynamic operations and uncertainty. This implies that we are required to make sequential decisions over time in anticipation of the impact of future unpredictable factors. Treating the uncertainty as stochasticity using random variables over time, optimal sequential decision-making problems can be tackled using a stochastic dynamic programming approach. In this session, I will introduce the stochastic dynamic programming technique, including the basic knowledge and its applications in container management problems.

Talk4: Data mining & machine learning: introduction and application in port management（7月30日）

Summary: In this talk, I will introduce the concepts of data mining and machine learning for business management. The CRISP-DM Process Model will be explained. Various data mining and machine learning methods will be introduced with the focus on classification methods and decision tree-based classification. Finally, the application of classification predictive analytics to container port operation management will be reported.
