Virtual Community and E-commerce are both new research area which is becoming popular in IS academia. In most of research papers, virtual community and e-commerce are talked separately in different stream. Since many e-commerce websites contain a virtual community, we combine these two together to consider whether discussions in virtual communities can influence people's online shopping behaviors...
The paper outlines a model for framing the representation and treatment of information gathered from the reuse and repurposing of learning resources from distributed repositories. The model takes into account as sources of information both static user-edited or automatically generated metadata fields and the emerging, dynamic information clouds that surrounds a learning resource when users comment...
On-line consumption is increasingly becoming the mainstream of social consuming field; so studying consumer behavior based on Internet users becomes much important. This article shows that on-line information interaction would have a positive impact on user's perception, and then would affect internet users changing their consumption roles.

A new multi-agent automated negotiation model is developed and evaluated, in which two competitive agents, such as the buyer and seller, have firm deadlines and incomplete information about each other. The negotiation is multi-dimensional in different cases. The model improves the model of Wooldridge and that of Sycara to a certain extent. An e-commerce model based on multiagent automated negotiation...

Digital ecosystems are not "created", they form and evolve wherever their users guide them. Moreover, usage patterns within digital ecosystems are not bound to one particular technology. A computational neurologist, for instance, may move back and forth between laboratory experiments, grid infrastructure for simulation and analysis, collaborative environments and publication platforms. This...
Web based applications and tools offer a great potential to increase the effectiveness of information flow and improve communication among disparate agents in support of distributed operations. One of the factors that hinders the integration and interoperability of information models, is a lack of common, shared vocabularies. This paper discusses research aimed at placing shared vocabularies at the...
This paper addresses a business scenario based on so-called tradable micro-services which is intended to explain the dynamics of a market to which actors contribute both as consumers and providers of telecommunication and Web based services. We argue that a service evolution is possible with leads to services which are adapted to the needs and objectives of various virtual communities. Furthermore,...
