Trend in the producer price is of much value to the central bank authorities in identifying the cost-push inflation that can improve their understanding of future directions of inflation in the aggregate economy and informulating sound policies and macroeconomic plans. Forecasting of the producer price movement is complex; the popular use of conventional methods is fraught with inaccuracies which often produces misleading results. This study explored the reliability and accuracy of the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for modelling and predicting producer price index (PPI) trend in New Zealand. The study also compared ANNs results with those produced by the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) as an alternative. Results showed that the ANNs model outperformed the ARIMA model as a more reliable and accurate tool for time series data prediction. The method developed could guide economists and macroeconomic policymakers in making more accurate forecasts.

The wireless network technology with its gradual advancements is adapted by many domains like banking, governance, health services, etc., where most of their transactions include customer's sensitive data. Along with advancement in the network technologies, digital crime is also increased at high rate. This may cause loss of sensitive data through malicious activities in the network. This concern of network security system can be effectively handled through the strong authentication mechanism. It can be observed that multiple authentication mechanisms that are currently used in the wireless digital network are vulnerable towards various advanced malicious techniques. Hence, there is a need to strengthen the existing authentication mechanisms or to design a stronger authentication mechanism. This paper considers the vulnerabilities identified in a two-factor authentication scheme for online medical services proposed by Li et al. and further proposes an enhanced two-factor authentication that overcomes the vulnerabilities analysed from Li et al. mechanism.

In cloud manufacturing (CMfg), to improve the efficiency of a whole business process, all distributed manufacturing resources services should be selected as 'service flows', called resource-service chain (RSC). However, selecting an RSC with conflict-free dependency is more difficult in collaborative manufacturing than in a centralised one, as resource services are usually selected independently by different organisations. To overcome this shortcoming, an algorithm based evolutionary algorithm is proposed. First, five common types of dependencies are defined after analysing the relationship among manufacturing resources. Then, genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to find the optimal set of RSCs, in which the dependencies among resource services are considered as constraint rules. Finally, a collaborative business process is taken as an instance to verify the selection of RSCs with conflict-free dependency. The results show that it can improve the efficiency of resource service selection.

Manufacturing industry plays an important role in the national economy. However, it is worth noting that scientific and technological innovation in manufacturing industry is accompanied by risks. One of the important ways to solve technological risks is science and technology insurance. In this paper, we first analyse the development status of science and technology insurance in China, and then establish an index evaluation system by using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The index evaluation system includes three layers and selects 24 indicators, which can help the insurance companies to scientifically and quantitatively evaluate high-tech manufacturing companies. It also can avoid subjective and difficult-to-quantify problems in the past evaluation process. Finally, an empirical study is showed to explain how to quantify these indicators and how to calculate the weight coefficient values for each indicator. Our findings can provide relevant countermeasures and suggestions for insurance companies, high-tech manufacturing companies, and governments.
