Trust among Internet users and thus social networks plays an important role in e-commerce and other Internet applications. However, the precise mathematical model of trust and thus applications based on trust in e-commerce system has not been satisfactorily established yet. In this paper, we present a probability theoretic framework to quantitatively measure trust as mathematical reasoning and to...
Popular Internet applications deploy a multi-tier architecture, with each tier provisioning a certain functionality to its preceding tier. The session-based admission control approach (SBAC) designed for a single Web server is not effective for a multi-tier architecture. This is due to the fact that the bottleneck in a multi-tier Website dynamically shifts among tiers as client access patterns change...
E-supply network coordination (e-SNC) is a new structure obtained by information technology, automation of different echelons' behavior, and the market globalization. The information flow and cooperation among echelons are two key drivers in SN. Here, supply network is considered as a collection of agent-mediated decision and coordination mechanisms in a Web-based environment. The proposed coordination...
In the virtual society on Internet seeking trusted nodes is a very difficult task in that there are so many elements to make all things uncertain. Therefore how to make trust decision becomes troublesome and has attracted interest from so many researchers. Traditional decision-making methods are mainly dependent on some uncertain theories, which include fuzzy sets theory, rough set theory, Bayesian...
With the rapid development of Internet, personalized information service has become one of the hotspots in e-commerce. In this paper, we explore a novel approach to use ontology inference in personalized recommendation, working on the problem of recommending on-line commodity. We organize on-line commodity in terms of ontological classes and using ontological inference as our recommendation algorithm...
This paper shows how temporal Petri nets (TPNs) can be used to specify and analyze an Internet stock trading system. The dynamical behavior of the system and causality between events can be explicitly described by temporal formulas. The functional correctness of the modeled system is formally verified by using the inferential rules in temporal logic. Important properties of the system are analyzed...
It is crucial for the participants over the Internet to evaluate each other's trustworthiness before initiating any commercial transaction. In this paper we further extend our previous work novel evidential trust evaluation algorithm (NETEA) [1] for Dempster-Shafer theory and subjective logic for computing recommendation trust under same environment. We identify limitations for each and propose some...
With the development of Web services related technologies, the enterprise business systems can be encapsulated through Web services. The service oriented architecture can be adopted for the enterprise business processes. Specific interfaces are introduced between the Web services of different enterprises for data exchanging to achieve the cross-enterprise systems integration. Different enterprises...
