Modeling Electronic Commerce Activities Using Control-Driven Coordination
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern Electronic Commerce environments are heavily webbased and involve issues such as distributed execution, multiuser interactive access or interface with and use of middleware platforms. Thus, their components exhibit the properties of communication, cooperation and coordination as in CSCW, groupware or workflow management systems. In this paper we examine the potential of using coordination technology to model Electronic Commerce activities and we show the benefits of such an approach. Furthermore, we argue that control-oriented, event-driven coordination models (which enjoy some inherent properties such as security) are more suitable for Electronic Commerce than data-driven ones which are based on accessing an open shared communication medium in almost unrestricted ways.

متن کاملGoal-driven Requirement Modeling for Electronic Commerce Systems
This paper presents a goal-driven methodology for eliciting and modeling the requirements of an E-commerce system. This approach involves two phases: strategy development and requirement modeling. In the first phase, E-commerce value matrix is used to develop an electronic business’s competitive strategies and value-added activities, and then identifying customized requirements for the e-servic...
متن کاملRule-Driven Coordination Agents: A Self-Configurable Agent Architecture for Distributed Control
The need for coordination among autonomous entities is common in dynamically changing domains. One such domain is the coordination of components in distributed component architectures. In these architectures, asynchronous communication is used to ensure autonomy. Management systems that control such architectures must respect this autonomy by decentralizing interaction policies and control. Mid...
متن کاملModeling Inter- and Intra-Organizational Coordination in Electronic Commerce Deployments
Successful Electronic Commerce (EC) requires not only a transformation of the supply chain but a redesign of organizational processes as well. Just as the organizations in a supply chain must cooperate with each other to achieve a collective goal, so too do the departments and groups which comprise an organization depend on each other to achieve the organization’s goals. A lack of coordination ...
