The Semantic Web and Web Services provide many opportunities in various applications such as product search and comparison in electronic commerce. We implemented an intelligent meta-search and comparison system for products through multiple attributes by using ontology mapping and Web Services. Under the assumption that each shopping mall offers product ontology and product search service with ...

We pursue the program of exposing the intrinsic mathematical structure of the “space of proofs” of a logical system [AJ94b]. We study the case of Multiplicative-Additive Linear Logic (MALL). We use tools from Domain theory to develop a semantic notion of proof net for MALL, and prove a Sequentialization Theorem. This work forms part of a continuation of previous joint work with Radha Jagadeesan...

In this paper, we develop a new model to describe a dynamic revenue-sharing problem between an online shopping mall and a store in an E-commerce market. We formulate the revenue-sharing problem as a dynamic principal-agent problem, which is then transformed to a risk-sensitive stochastic optimal control problem where the objective of the risk-averse shopping mall is to find a risk-sensitive rev...

Research has found an upward trend in impulse buying in general, and impulse buying is frequently foreseen among mall shoppers. Impulse purchases account for over $4 billion in annual sales in the U.S. (Mogelonsky, 1998). Retailers have found that over 50 percent of mall shoppers purchase on impulse (Nichols et al., 2001). More than one third of all department store purchases were bought on imp...
