چکیده

82 IEEE Concurrency T he e-commerce revolution has arrived. E-commerce business-to-business (B2B) revenue is projected to rise from $43 billion in 1998 to $1 trillion in 2003, a 23-fold increase. Consumer purchases online are expected to be worth $380 billion in 2003, up from an estimated $31.2 billion in 1999.1 According to a recent study by the University of Texas Center for Research in Electronic Commerce (cism.bus. utexas.edu), the US Internet economy generated a revenue of $301 billion and was responsible for 1.2 million jobs in 1998.2 The Internet economy has already surpassed traditional sectors such as energy ($223 billion) and telecommunications ($270 billion) and is comparable with the automobile sector ($350 billion). The growth of e-commerce activities has been phenomenal and is expected to increase even further. As a way to structure the analysis of and discussions about ecommerce systems, I propose a reference model for e-commerce. I’ve used this model to develop a proposal for a graduate program in e-commerce that will help students meet the challenges of e-commerce.
