Industry 4.0 & Supply Chain Transformation: Developing a Digital Supply Chain Strategic Mindset

01 Oct 2024 01:00:00 GMT

SMU
Ongoing through Thursday, October 1, 2026, 5pm

The term ‘Industry 4.0’ was coined to mark the fourth industrial revolution, a new paradigm enabled by the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) into the production and manufacturing environment. The vision of Industry 4.0 emphasizes the global networks of machines in a smart factory setting capable of autonomously exchanging information and controlling each other.

Supply chains are traditionally linear in nature, with a discrete progression of design, plan, source, make, and deliver.Today however, many supply chains are transforming from a staid sequence to a dynamic, interconnected system that can more readily incorporate ecosystem partners and evolve to a more optimal state over time.This shift from linear, sequential supply chain operations to an interconnected, open system of supply operations could lay the foundation for how companies compete in the future.

It is expected that these new technologies and innovative solutions will continue to transform and evolve supply chains and logistics in numerous ways.

Beyond Homogeneous Adversaries: Stackelberg Security Games with Mixed Quantal Response

14 Aug 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Meeting room 4.4, Level 4. School of Computing and Information Systems 1,
Singapore Management University, 80 Stamford Road, Singapore 178902
Friday, August 14, 2026, 3 – 3:30pm

The quantal response (QR) model is widely used in Stackelberg security games (SSGs) to capture boundedly rational adversaries. Existing work on SSGs under QR, however, almost exclusively assumes a homogeneous attacker population, ignoring heterogeneity in attacker preferences and rationality. We study SSG with mixed quantal response attackers, where the follower population consists of multiple discrete attacker types, each following a type-specific QR model. The defender allocates limited resources across targets, while an attacker drawn from this heterogeneous population observes the defender's strategy and attacks a single target. This results in a highly non-convex equilibrium computation problem. We develop a polynomial-time approximation scheme for this setting when the number of attacker types is bounded, based on an exponential cone programming formulation combined with a carefully designed Branch-and-Bound procedure. Experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms standard gradient-based methods and that explicitly modeling attacker heterogeneity yields significant gains over traditional SSG models with a single QR attacker.

This is a Pre-Conference talk for The 35th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-ECAI 2026).

While the work most people do today is, in many ways, easier and more comfortable than it was for previous generations, our day-to-day experience of the work environment can feel surprisingly difficult. In this presentation, I share three papers that each explore an intervention designed to help employees feel better—and work better—over the course of the workday. The first paper introduces a psychological intervention aimed at reducing work-related rumination during non-work hours. The second presents a physiological intervention designed to ease work-related anxiety. The third examines a technology-based intervention intended to smooth everyday social interactions at work. Together, these papers offer a range of approaches that can help employees thrive at work, without requiring changes to the work itself or to the broader work environment.

We study how resolving local land-use uncertainty affects household reinvestment. Using a nationwide panel linking single-family properties to newly established conservation easements, we compare properties near easement boundaries to similar properties farther away. An event-study design with property and easement-by-year fixed effects reveals that properties within 100 meters of a newly formed easement experience a 1.5--2\% increase in assessed improvement value relative to properties 100--500 meters away, with effects attenuating with distance. This is mirrored by real investment behavior: proximate properties are about 1.6 percentage points more likely to exhibit changes in living area. Our findings constitute evidence for environmental certainty as a key driver of homeowner investment and indicate local spillovers from conservation.

Copyright in the Digital Age: Balancing Creativity, Innovation and Access

25 Aug 2026 01:30:00 GMT

Tuesday, August 25, 2026, 9:30am – 12:30pm

Alibaba and the SMU Centre for Digital Law jointly present this half-day seminar to be held in Singapore on 25 August 2026.

As our digital world continues to shape our lives, AI and digital content likewise continues to shape legal principles and copyright law. This event brings together leading IP practitioners and legal tech advisors for a thoughtful exploration of AI, fair use and copyright protections, and copyright enforcement.

The first panel will explore AI data training, copyright fair use, and copyright law in the U.S. Prominent U.S. practitioners representing both content owners and AI companies will discuss the seminal cases, breakdown the key issues and lead the audience to an understanding of the evolving AI litigation landscape in the U.S..

The conversation will explore the core legal arguments, judicial trends, and the broader implications for all IP stakeholders—content owners, technology companies, and lawyers navigating the intersection of AI and copyright law.

As copyrighted works are created, distributed and accessed across an increasingly digital ecosystem, the second panel shifts focus to disrupting access to pirated copyrighted content online. The session will showcase how e-commerce platforms, rights holders, and law enforcement agencies can collaborate to detect, disrupt, and dismantle digital piracy networks.

Participants can expect a balanced and forward-looking forum for understanding the legal, technological, and market-operational aspects of copyright protection in a rapidly changing digital landscape.

By 2050, the European Union aims to become the first climate-neutral continent in the world. To this end, the concept of the green economy has been developed, i.e. an economy that improves human wellbeing and social justice while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is also an important component in achieving the overarching goal of sustainable development. To achieve the desired goals, this concept requires extensive financial instruments to stimulate private investment and business activity. One possible solution is environmental taxes. They have a dual function: firstly, to increase tax revenues, and secondly, to change consumer purchasing habits. Growing environmental awareness is pushing policymakers to pursue sustainable economic practices with the dual aim of combining economic efficiency with reduced environmental impacts. Therefore, the main objective of this seminar is to:

present the importance and role of environmental taxes in relation to sustainable development and the green economy;
provide an analysis of trends and prospects for environmental taxes in the European Union and beyond; and
present an overview of current legislation (laws, regulations, etc.) on the implementation of environmental taxes in the European Union.

Furthermore, this seminar will be relevant not only to researchers and academics, but also to decision-makers in national and regional development bodies.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - GloBE as a Regular Corporate Income Tax System: Tax Base and Subject

04 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Training Room 3
Tax Academy of Singapore Hub,
#01-03, Revenue House
55 Newton Rd, Singapore 307987
Friday, September 4, 2026, 12 – 1pm

This article investigates the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (GloBE Rules) not as a minimum tax but as a regular corporate income tax system. Drawing on the framework of analysis set out in the author's 2024 book, Corporate Tax Law, this article compares the GloBE Rules with the features of four archetypal corporate income tax systems—those of China, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States—with a focus on the first of three artificialities involving corporations: the artificiality of a corporation as an income-deriving subject. The article considers how entities subject to the GloBE Rules are identified and classified, examines specialist tax base issues arising from the artificial nature of the subject matter, and analyses the tax treatment of the subject entity's income. The analysis reveals that while many features of the GloBE Rules are broadly familiar to students of regular corporate income tax systems, a number of peculiarities emerge, including the unusually broad scope of entity coverage, the distinctive treatment of losses through deferred tax accounting, and the unconventional allocation of tax liability to individual Constituent Entities.

SMU Wellness BalanceUP - East Meets West: Myths, Facts & Pain Relief

10 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Thursday, September 10, 2026, 7 – 9:30pm

💡 Think you know what causes your aches and pains? Think again.
Ever wondered?

🪑 What if the source of your discomfort isn't where you feel it?
🤔 Why do neck and shoulder aches keep coming back despite regular stretching?
🌿 What happens when Traditional Chinese Medicine meets modern musculoskeletal care?
With so many remedies, health trends, and conflicting advice out there, it can be difficult to separate myth from fact and understand what's truly effective.

Join Dr Wong Lin Ho, one of the few practitioners in Singapore trained in both Western Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as he shares how Eastern and Western perspectives approach musculoskeletal health.

Discover practical ways to:
1. Separate myths from facts about common aches and pains
2. Gain deeper insights into the root causes of recurring issues
3. Improve mobility and manage discomfort using practical, evidence-informed approaches
4. Make more confident decisions about your health and well-being

The session will culminate in a live acupressure demonstration, where Dr Wong will demonstrate how TCM techniques can be applied to common aches and pains using a volunteer participant.
Come curious. Leave informed.

Discover where Eastern wisdom and Western medicine intersect and what that could mean for your everyday well-being. Reserve your spot today.

The Israeli/US armed attack on Iran has placed the international spotlight on the Strait of Hormuz and the freedom of navigation. The Strait has been subject to closure, blockade, and military conflict for many months. This has raised issues with respect to the legal status of the Strait of Hormuz during both peacetime and during the armed conflict. It has also given attention to the global regime of transit passage through international straits, including for the Straits of Malacca. These issues will be discussed including the possible legal regime that may apply in the Strait of Hormuz in the future.

[Agentic Workflow] Fundamentals: Web vs Code vs Cowork

17 Sep 2026 07:30:00 GMT

Learning Lab 1, Li Ka Shing Library Level 5
Thursday, September 17, 2026, 3:30 – 5pm

A practical orientation for anyone who has used ChatGPT or Claude but isn't sure how Claude.ai, Claude Code, Codex, and Cowork actually differ, or what "agentic AI" even means. No technical background required.

Most people have tried a chat-based AI at some point. But the landscape has expanded quickly: there are now chat interfaces, coding agents, and desktop agents, each serving very different purposes. Without a clear mental model, it is hard to know which tool to reach for, or to follow the rest of this workshop series without feeling lost.

This session gives participants a practical map of the AI tool landscape and introduces the core idea of "agentic" AI: systems that don't just respond to a prompt, but plan, act, observe, and iterate. A live comparison demo makes the difference concrete rather than abstract, and a decision framework helps participants immediately apply what they have learned to their own work.

**Participants are highly recommended to attend this workshop first, before the rest of the Agentic Workflow Series, as it lays the foundation for everything that follows.**

Requirements : For hands-on portion, SMU Staff (Faculty, Research Staff and admin) can use SMU AI Studio Chat. Students should register for the free version of Claude but a subscription to Claude is recommended.

[Agentic Workflow] Vibe-coding & Version Control in your Codex/Claude Code

22 Sep 2026 07:30:00 GMT

Learning Lab 1, Li Ka Shing Library Level 5
Tuesday, September 22, 2026, 3:30 – 5pm

Describe what you want, let AI write the code, and keep your work safe with version control. A practical session on using Codex or Claude Code to generate working scripts for research tasks, paired with just enough Git to make your work reproducible and recoverable.

Most researchers don�t need to become programmers to benefit from code. With Codex CLI and Claude Code, you describe what you want in plain language and the AI produces a working script. The gap between �I have an idea for this analysis� and �I have a running script� has never been smaller, and the barrier to crossing it has never been lower.

But generated code without version control is fragile. This workshop pairs vibe-coding with Git basics so participants leave with a workflow that is reproducible and recoverable. By the end, participants can iterate on AI-generated code confidently, knowing they can roll back if something breaks and share their work with colleagues.

Please note that subscription to Claude/ChatGPT is required if you want to follow along the hands-on exercises in this workshop.

[Agentic Workflow] LLM-Assisted Text Analysis: From Open-Ended Responses to Structured Insights

23 Sep 2026 07:30:00 GMT

Learning Lab 1, Li Ka Shing Library Level 5
Wednesday, September 23, 2026, 3:30 – 5pm

A hands-on workshop on using large language models to classify short text data, such as survey responses, feedback comments, or research abstracts. Participants will learn how to create a simple codebook, use it to guide LLM classification, and check the results through human review. No coding or machine learning background is required.

Researchers and professional staff often work with short, open-ended text that needs to be organised into meaningful categories. Manual coding can be slow, while machine learning approaches may require technical expertise.

This workshop introduces a practical human-in-the-loop workflow: define categories, build a simple codebook, prompt the LLM, review the output, and refine the approach. The focus is on using AI in a structured, transparent, and low-barrier way.

[Agentic Workflow] Build your own "advanced" workflow with MCP and Skills

24 Sep 2026 07:30:00 GMT

Learning Lab 1, Li Ka Shing Library Level 5
Thursday, September 24, 2026, 3:30 – 5pm

From prompts to pipelines: learn how MCP connects AI to your tools and data, and how skill files turn your best workflows into something repeatable and shareable. By the end of this session, you will have built and tested a skill file for a real task in your own research or professional work.

A standalone chat session ends when you close the window. MCP (Model Context Protocol) changes that: it is the open standard that lets an AI agent connect to external tools, file systems, databases, and services in real time. For researchers, this means an AI that can read your reference manager, pull data from a spreadsheet, or update a shared document, without switching tabs.

Skill files are the other half of this picture. They encode a workflow, its instructions, and its context into a structured, reusable document that any team member can pick up and run. Together, MCP and skills move AI from something you consult to something you configure, turning individual proficiency into a team resource.

BFI Business & Policy Insights Series featuring Mishcon de Reya LLP

20 Nov 2026 03:00:00 GMT

In-Person @ SMU Campus
Friday, November 20, 2026, 11am – 1pm

The Business Families Institute at Singapore Management University (BFI@SMU) invites you to join us for the BFI Business and Policy Insights Series - a curated forum for business families, founders, and next-generation leaders navigating an increasingly complex landscape.

Mishcon de Reya will share a focused, practical look at the Private Trust Company (PTC). PTCs are increasingly adopted by sophisticated business-owning and high net worth families who want greater control and oversight over how their family trusts are managed.

The session is designed around commonly asked questions such as: when does a PTC make sense, and when might it not be the right fit? What changes in terms of decision-making, oversight, and family dynamics when a family moves to this model? And what does a PTC model look like in practice?

To bring this to life the session includes real life case studies following multi-jurisdictional families through the key decisions, trade-offs, and lessons of establishing a PTC structure. After this session you will have a clearer, more grounded understanding of whether a PTC might be worth exploring for your own family and the right questions to ask your advisers.
