Actors. The EU Member States Competent Authorities and official control services are affected by the current situation and should be consulted. The following stakeholders in the food chain are also concerned: Agricultural commodities exporting countries (regulatory authorities and relevant operators); Crops traders; Transporters; EU grain crushers/processors (for food and feed uses); EU food sector, including SMEs; EU retailing sector. Organisations dealing with consumer protection and rights, environmental protection etc, should also be consulted. In order to perform the study, the contractor should collect data and views from the abovementioned actors (including individual companies and/or professional organisations).
Actors. In UML an actor is a behavioral classifier which specifies a role played by an external entity that interacts with a system (e.g., by exchanging signals and data). The term "role" is used informally to group users that require specific services from the system, modeled within associated use cases. When an external entity interacts with the system, it plays the role of a specific actor. Such an entity may play several different roles. In turn, a specific role may be played by one or more entities. [2] In the present document, the aforementioned UML system is a blockchain-based key registry for DER devices (“Blockchain”) as described in [1]. The term Blockchain (with a capital B) includes all elements belonging to a blockchain implementation, including consensus nodes, API Servers to read from and write to the blockchain, and governance mechanisms.
Actors. This section narrows the FLAME target down from the list of stakeholder categories to actors. Actor does not mean experimenter, but any stakeholder that can play a role in the FLAME platform. This section relates the FLAME stakeholders to the FLAME platform architecture depicted in Figure 14, detailing the interactions between them and the platform. In this way, the mentioned stakeholders become platform actors.
1. The following discusses the relationship with the platform for the different kinds of media service providers. Network function providers. This category includes the network operators, such as the telecom operators, which we have already explained as media service providers in the access networks. In this sense, this actor can play two different roles in FLAME. On one hand, a media service provider that wants to test the distribution capabilities of the FLAME technical approach. On the other hand, a network infrastructure provider for the access network or for another point of the distribution resources. Infrastructure providers, facility providers and equipment managers. These actors own (and probably exploit) the physical infrastructures (at the bottom of Figure 14) over which the FLAME platform is deployed. It must be taken into account that these actors are not regular telecom operators, but instead owners or managers of a physical infrastructure deployed in a certain geographical area, such as a city, a campus, a trade fairy or a sport stadium. These actors provide the infrastructure but in the case of FLAME replication, these actors will also integrate the complete FLAME platform, as depicted in Figure 14. Technology providers for city services. Although FLAME focus is put on media service, the FLAME platform could also support other kind of city services that take advantage of the FLAME benefits and the virtualised, programmable network deployed on the city physical infrastructure. These actors would interact with the FLAME platform in different ways, such as providing services as users or providing technology to deploy services supported on the FLAME platform. End users (home and business) / content consumers / customers. This category includes the stakeholders that extract information from the user consumption and behaviour. Final users will interact with the FLAME platform in the service endpoints, by means of applications. Concerning
Actors. The execution of an ICT Inst involves four main actors: • The Originator: is the natural or legal person who initiates directly or indirectly9 the ICT Inst by providing the Originator PSP with an instruction. The Funds for such an ICT Inst are reserved from a specified Payment Account of which the Originator is account holder; • The Originator PSP: is the Participant that receives the ICT Inst Instruction from the Originator and acts on the payment instruction by processing Instantly the payment to the Beneficiary PSP in favour of the Beneficiary’s Payment Account according to the information provided in the instruction and in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme. The Originator PSP is also obliged to inform Immediately the Originator in case the Funds have not been Made Available to the Beneficiary; • The Beneficiary PSP: is the Participant that receives the ICT Inst Transaction from the Originator PSP and Immediately Makes the Funds Available to the Beneficiary, according to the information provided in the transaction and in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme. The Beneficiary PSP is also obliged to send a confirmation message (positive or negative) Immediately through the same CSM to the Originator PSP to confirm whether the ICT Inst Transaction has been accepted and Funds have been Made Available Immediately to the Beneficiary (positive confirmation) or not (negative confirmation); • The Originator PSP and Beneficiary PSP may be one and the same Participant; • The Beneficiary: is the natural or legal person identified in the ICT Inst Instruction whom the Funds are sent to. Originator PSPs and Beneficiary PSPs are responsible for meeting their obligations under the Rulebook. This responsibility is irrespective of either the means or the parties by which Originator PSPs or Beneficiary PSPs choose to discharge those obligations and for which they remain responsible under the Scheme. The operation of the Scheme also involves other parties indirectly: • CSMs: Such mechanisms could include the services of a Clearing and Settlement provider such as an automated clearing house or other mechanisms such as intra-PSP and intra-group arrangements and bilateral or multilateral agreements between Participants. The term CSM does not necessarily connote one entity, for example, it is possible that the Clearing function and the Settlement function are conducted by separate actors;
Actors. A social network is comprised of actors. These are the individuals, groups and collectivities within a network and also all the other tools or available material and technology that is available for the networks. In cases, the networks themselves can also be viewed as actors, when assuming collective behaviours and interacting with other networks. Yet, actors are not behaving in oblivion of, or regardless of, their surroundings. When acting, humans are related, connected and bound to various factors that influence how they go about their acts. The act carried out and all of the influencing factors should be considered altogether. Actors and networks are then linked together with all of their influencing factors (which again are in some way linked or interconnected). Actors within networks reproduce and modify their network ties. The role of peripheral actors is indeed important as they seek alternative sources of resources (Xxxx, 1977), exert influence via strategic uses of the network, by using brokers to bring together parties and mobilising the centrally located actors to gain support. At the same time, central actors enjoy timely and easy access to information as well as a climate of trust and trustworthiness. Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx (2000), postulate that peripheral actors may choose to remain in such a position in order to ―avoid mobilising the opposition (centrally located actors) and have minimal obligations to others‖ than otherwise positioned, and add that ―compared to the peripheral actor, the centrally located, who have honour and a number of obligations, may be much more constrained in action than the peripheral actor‖ (p. 656). In other words, the power of centrality may be dwarfed under the big weight of obligations. On the other hand, central actors, undoubtedly, enjoy access to more resources and information. This ―dance‖ of power, access, obligations and ties seems to find central actors reacting to the periphery, who often initiate actions in the network. What could be expected is that ―people and organisations will alter their strategies based on the organisational resources they have, like network position, the opportunity to take action and the existence of opposition‖ (Xxxxxxxxxxx, 1984, p. 148). Nevertheless, what should not be overlooked is that the position of the actor within the network reveals the potential for action and not the specific action that may actually take place. Each individual decision is a kind of ongoing, filterin...
Actors. Xxxx, patient, is under treatment of a RA trial. Xxxxx, radiographer, takes scans of patients. Xxxxx, radiologist, conducts scan/image analysis through Dynamika. Xxxxx, lead clinician, is responsible for the medical evaluation of the treatment for the patients. He makes decisions about the effectiveness of the treatment based on a report by the radiologist and other information related to the trial. Xxxxx, representative of other clinicians, has experience in disease diagnosis and treatment. He might help Xxxxx to analyse the image or the case if needed.
