INTRODUCTION Electronic data interchange (EDI) technology gives organizations an opportunity to exchange their information and messages electronically, instead of with paper documents, and leads to a new way of doing business known as electronic commerce (EC). The benefits of EDI include less delay in data handling and labour savings in the areas of data transcription, controls, and error inves...

EC will not stay at only e-commerce but be evolved into other ECs such as electronic services for communities, and further, into electronic services for cultures. Present providers deliver mutually independent services, but within very short time, these services will be combined and collaborated over the network into single services just like an idea of global computing. In future, the services...

electronic commerce as one of the most important of innovation aspects in the process of doing business is used by many organizations and companies in the world. cooperatives as the main part of the country's economy have fundamental role in improving and promoting of economic. therefore, innovation methods and tools, new processes and perform business tasks such as e-commerce will play an impo...

Security is the major concern that refrains people from conducting commerce electronically. The security concerns related to electronic commerce (EC) includes transaction security and system security. We can partially address the transaction security issues by message distribution middleware such as simple object access protocol (SOAP), which is one of the information technology (IT) infrastruc...

Bank supervision and monetary policy are strategic concepts in the economy of countries. Development of electronic communications, especially in online and international spheres, has largely threatened financial services in view of security and illegal access to banking networks.

Theory testing is as important as theory building in a nascent field like Electronic Commerce (EC). While there is a small but growing body of theoretical models of EC, the literature on empirical testing of beliefs, assumptions and models of EC is sparse, primarily due to difficulties in collecting relevant and detailed data from the field. Experimentation can provide a valuable alternative to...

In this paper, we explore the data mining capability which involves mining Web transaction patterns for an electronic commerce (EC) environment. To better reflect the customer usage patterns in the EC environment, we propose a mining model that takes both the traveling patterns and purchasing behavior of customers into consideration. We devise two efficient algorithms (MTSPJ , and MTSPC) for de...
