Strategic use of information technology, especially electronic commerce, has been used by organisations throughout the world in a vast array of industries to gain a competitive industry. With growing interest in electronic commerce organisations are now developing a new range of electronic commerce applications. However, justification in allocating organisation resources does not always follow ...

The rapid evolution of the Internet as a means of communicating the information has attracted the attention of the advertising and marketing industries which allows a very rapid dispersal of information from the producers to the potential buyers in different parts of the world. Such new terms and concepts have emerged: e-business (electronic business), e-commerce (electronic commerce) and e-mar...

As the technology shifts from traditional to electronic, electronic to mobile the way of commerce is also changed. But apart from all of these technologies and advancement we look another emerging field of wireless communication during this research, called U-Commerce. U-commerce transforms the traditional commerce either geographic or electronic or mobile to a world of unique networks having u...

Communication protocols are the computational basis for distributed electronic commerce systems, and thus the properties of these protocols deene the forms of commerce possible in electronic systems. Existing protocols used for electronic commerce focus primarily on security properties, including message integrity, privacy and non-repudiation, and on basic transaction properties , usually just ...

By combining two independent research streams, we examined the determinant factors of strategic value and adoption of electronic commerce as perceived by top managers in small and medium sized enterprises (SME) in the midwest region of the US. We proposed a research model that suggested three factors that have been found to be influential in previous research in the perception of strategic valu...

In this paper, the performance of an Electronic Commerce server, i.e. a system running Electronic Commerce applications, is evaluated in the case of shared-bus multiprocessor architecture. In particular, we focused on the memory subsystem design. We have analyzed the common case of a system using the MESI coherence protocol, for maintaining coherency among the processor private caches. We have ...

In recent years, there has been a great deal of debate about whether a large-scale \publickey infrastructure" is needed for electronic commerce and, if so, whether the technical di culty of building and deploying such an infrastructure will impede the growth of electronic commerce. We argue here that much of the controversy is attributable to the fact that the term \public-key infrastructure" h...

This article reviews the growing body of research on electronic commerce from the perspective of economic analysis. It begins by constructing a new framework for understanding electronic commerce research, then identifies the range of applicable theory and current research in the context of the new conceptual model. It goes on to assess the state-of-the-art of knowledge about electronic commerc...

In this paper, we propose watermark design patterns to model the characteristic of digital watermark in electronic commerce applications. A watermark design pattern preserves the properties of a digital watermark in binary tree representation. Applying the survey results and characteristics of existing watermarking techniques, watermark design patterns for four media data video, image, audio, a...
