ASME Evaluation on Grid Mobile E-Commerce Process

With the development of E-commerce, more scholars have paid attention to research on Mobile E-commerce and mostly focus on the optimization and evaluation of existing process. This paper researches the evaluation of Mobile E-commerce process with a method called ASME. Based on combing and analyzing current mobile business process and utilizing the grid management theory, mobile business process based on grid are constructed. Firstly, the existing process, namely Non-grid Mobile E-commerce, and the Grid Mobile E-commerce process are ordered. Secondly, the evaluation system with ASME is formed. Thirdly, the benefits of the Grid Mobile E-commerce process are presented. This paper provides a new way to evaluate Mobile E-commerce.

This paper will evaluate the Traditional Mobile E-commerce process and Grid Mobile E-commerce process on a practical case with the method of ASME (Ren, 2005) evaluation. ASME evaluation is based on quantitative analysis and more convincing. It also provides a new method for process evaluation. In this paper, with mobile business process as the research object and grid management as the research theory, combing the method of ASME evaluation, conduct a research of mobile business process based on grid management followed by the research ideas. Firstly, analyze the existing mobile business process, finding the problems. Then construct a grid-based mobile business process in the support of grid management theory. Finally, conduct a simulation comparison between grid-based and non-grid based mobile business process.
