Mobile payment is considered as the accelerator of e- and m-commerce. In this paper we propose an innovative system model for mobile payment based on the existing models. The novel model focuses on the enhancement of privacy and non-repudiation. It introduces trusted third elements and follows new mechanism to achieve this objective. Moreover we design a protocol with regard to the model and discuss the corresponding privacy in this architecture. The accountability implemented by the protocol is proved by formal analysis

This paper brings a historic perspective of the Intel e-business data center growth from supporting a simple static Web site to a leading e-business implementation, one of the world's largest and most complex installations of its type. It outlines the challenges facing IT and e-business operations today and calls out the needs for more advanced platform and service manageability technologies. To cope with these new challenges, the paper introduces the concept of service-oriented infrastructure (SOI), its architecture, key technical components, business benefits, and key steps to of the evolution toward SOI

This paper focuses on the growing need to consider the implications of humancentric applications of precise location based services (LBS). As newer positioning technologies are introduced into the market with a greater level of location accuracy, and existing technologies are utilized in an integrated fashion to overcome limitations, issues pertaining to the use and potential misuse of location information rise to the fore. The scenario planning methodology provides a robust approach within which to consider future possibilities based on current market developments. To this end, document and content analysis play an important role in the collection of facts used to illustrate a given set of scenarios. The contribution of this paper is in providing adequate evidence toward precise LBS and in identifying those attributes that will guide the formation of the narrative descriptions in future research. The preliminary results of the study indicate that societal, ethical and legal implications need to be given greater attention as precise LBS applications will be increasingly used in the tagging, tracking and tracing of humans

The RFID technology is called a revolution to our life in new century. This paper introduces how to improve m-commerce utilizing mobile RFID technology. Complete and validated information could be gathered for the later m-commerce wherever and whenever you see nice products. On the way of transportation, the exception events could be detected in real-time and used to notice deliver people and control center. When receiving, the customer could check the messages in the RFID tag along with the products and verify quality of the products. The mobile RFID middleware and monitor device are also designed and implemented to support the practice application. Mobile RFID technology makes convenient to the information gathering and enhances customer's confidence of m-commerce. It also improves the retailer's management level, competition ability and commerce profit

Process mining aims at extracting business process information from event log generated by Business process management systems to analyze operational performance. It can be an interesting tool for actually measuring the alignment of business process. In this paper, the process mining for dynamic business is discussed. Among different instances of the same dynamic business process, there are often some structural and dynamic changes. A hybrid process mining approach to dynamic business process is proposed. The approach is based on reconfigurable net and event types. Reconfigurable net is used for modeling dynamic changes and two event types (start, over) are defined for mining algorithm. The method presented in this paper gives a method of mining dynamic changes in different instances and finally generate a reconfigurable workflow net

With business survival increasingly tied to technology performance, CIOs and their IT organizations should be able to map, relate, and articulate IT spending and productivity to business revenue to support their value proposition. There is a rise in the use of project portfolio management as IT organizations shift to provide customer driven solutions. Implementing a project portfolio management process is crucial to optimizing corporate investments under shared service environment. This paper reviews actions that CIO can take to create an environment for more successful projects in the IT organizations. Specifically, the authors discuss some key advanced technologies such as resource allocation, together with major experiences gained from a bank in Asia Pacific

A significant part of data and content management in e-business scenarios deals with exchanging product-related data between business entities, and integrating them into target applications (e.g. ERP systems) or target documents (e.g. e-catalogs) at the recipient's side. Content integration tasks can be much better automated if the textual descriptions are augmented by a machine-readable representation of the semantics. For this purpose, categorization standards for products and services, like UNSPSC, eCl@ss, eOTD, or the Rosettanet Technical Dictionary (RNTD) are widely in use. Existing research, however, has focused on the architecture and structure of such standards, and did not investigate their actual content. In this paper, we present a framework of metrics for the quality and maturity of categorization standards, and apply these metrics to eCl@ss, UNSPSC, eOTD, and RNTD. The results clearly show weaknesses which hamper the use in many application domains. Also, we can reveal that only some of these standards are actually maintained and updated, while others are rather inactive, dead collections

In the recent years, IT industry develops rapidly in China and has become an important force to push the domestic economy. For China IT companies, their investment scale is limited by the financing constraint, and the ICF (ICF) holds a great influence to their investment expenditures. The paper takes ICF as the indicator to evaluate the internal financing ability of the company, and in terms of the various kinds of financing constraints that the listed company in China IT industry faces conducts a sensitivity study on the investment expenditure and ICF. The conclusion of the study shows that the greater financing constraint the listed company in China IT industry faces, the greater influence ICF holds on its investment expenditures

Electronic commerce is driving distributed computing towards a model of service based interactions. The core of service interaction relies on the discovery of services. In this paper we propose a decentralized registry, based on a peer-to-peer infrastructure called eDSR for e-commerce service discovery. In eDSR, the service descriptions are managed in a completely decentralized way. Experimental results show that eDSR has good robustness and scalability
