Electronic Dissertation
- Acta Electronica,Universitatis Tamperensis
Conceptual modelling is needed to form a description of the domain of application at hand. In
order to express the result of conceptual modelling, we need a modelling language. First order
predicate logic (FOPL) or its variants (like Horn-clauses and Description Logics) and extensions
(second order logics) can form a backbone of such a language, but some criteria is needed to define
the fruitfulness or suitability of a modelling language, given the modelling task. The modelling
language together with its methodology constitute a modelling perspective.

Dublin Core Metadata for Electronic Journals
- Dublin Core,Metadata Electronic Journals,Ross Macintyre
. This paper describes the design of an electronic journals application where the
article header information is held as Dublin Core metadata. Current best practice in the use of
Dublin Core for bibliographic data description is indicated where this differs from pragmatic
decisions made at the time when the application was designed. Using this working application
as a case study to explore the specification of a metadata schema to describe bibliographic data
has indicated that the use of Dublin Core metadata is viable within the academic journals
publishing sector, albeit with the addition of some local, domain-specific extensions.
Keywords. Dublin Core, metadata, bibliographic citation, electronic journals.

International Trade At The Speed Of Light: Building An Electronic Trading Infrastructure In Denmark, Finland, And Hong Kong
- An Electronic Trading
In this paper, we analyze the creation of electronic trading infrastructures
using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards and
associated technologies. We compare the evolution of such infrastructures
in Denmark, Finland, and Hong Kong. We analyze attempts to
build trading infrastructures in these three countries by examining
eight initiatives. We probe how these initiatives support the building
efforts by locating the eight initiatives into a two dimensional
framework, which distinguishes between the strategic intent of the
initiative and the type of initiator. In each case, we examine the
dynamics of each initiative and its success. Our analysis shows that
the building of trading infrastructures can take place through multiple
paths---in this study...

Teaching Functions to Pre-Calculus Students: An Electronic-Workbook
- An Electronic-workbook,Jess H. Trespalacios,Manuel A. Prez-quiones
Teaching college pre-calculus is traditionally done
in large sections, usually complemented with separate and
smaller tutoring sections where students get to discuss
problems with a tutor or a professor. The introduction of
electronic workbooks, intelligent tutors, and computer
assisted instruction into this traditional setting could result
in higher achievement on the students part. This paper
presents the design of an electronic workbook for practicing
the concept of mathematical function. An electronic
workbook for this material can show multiple function
representations simultaneously and allow a student to
manipulate one and observe the result in the others. This
should make it easier for the student to learn the
relationships between the three representations, and thus...

Palaeontologia Electronica
- Palaeontologia Electronica,Yvind Hammer,Stefan Bengtson,Tom Malzbender,Dan Gelb
Many fossils cannot be fully illustrated using a setting of physical light sources,
and conventional photographic approaches are therefore insufficient. Polynomial texture
mapping (PTM), a new technique for imaging surface relief using an ordinary digital
camera and multiple light sources, offers an opportunity to resolve these difficulties.

Electronic Cash
Introduction
Soon you may find yourself e-mailing bytes representing your money to service providers across
the ocean, using a smart card or a handheld computer to pay at your local grocery, and making
backup copies to protect your money against hard-disk crashes. Now that technological
advances in chip manufacturing have brought vast computing powers within everyone's reach,
traditional cash is about to be replaced for an invention based on modern cryptography:
electronic cash.
This chapter provides an overview of the state-of-the-art techniques for designing electronic
cash systems, without going into great technical detail. We begin by quickly reviewing
today's payment forms and analyzing their inherent shortcomings, to motivate the...

Electronic Shopping
y
in comparing multiple products on the same
screen all have adverse effects on electronic shopping
[2]. Can customers find what they want in the stores?
Are customers aware of what products are available?
After all, diligence in browsing a store is not a virtue
retailers should expect from its online customers.
We review online retail store attributes such as the
number of links into the store, image sizes, number
of products, and store navigation features. By reviewing
the user interface features in the context of electronic
shopping, we hope to facilitate the process of
designing and evaluating alternative storefronts by
identifying key features that impact traffic and sales.

Electronic Money
This paper will attempt to identify the issues that need to be addressed in order for stored-value cards and other electronic money systems to become a major payment mechanism in the global financial market. These new payments devices require a thorough evaluation of the appropriate regulatory, legal, and policy responses, as well as an estimate of the market acceptance (diffusion of this technology) throughout the financial and social system. These types of cards have the potential to have far reaching effects, if they are accepted by both consumers and merchants.

Arquitectura de un Billete Electrónico Anónimo: Medios Electrónicos de Pagos
- García, M.E.; Vázquez, R.
En este artículo se propone la estructura de una secuencia organizada de bits que representa un billete electrónico. Los procedimientos considerados en el trabajo fueron: la comparación y análisis de los sistemas de pago electrónico actuales (First Virtual, Cybercash, Cybercoin, Millicent, eCash, Mondex y Tarjetas Inteligentes), y el análisis de las propiedades de un billete bancario en México. El billete electrónico generado se construye con Funciones Hash, Firmas Digitales y Códigos MAC, y se demuestra que posee buenos atributos de anonimato, integridad y autenticidad, condiciones necesarias en un sistema de pago electrónico.

Strongboxes for Electronic Commerce
- Thomas Hardjono; Thomas Hardjono; J. Seberry; Jennifer Seberry
) Thomas Hardjono 1 and Jennifer Seberry Centre for Computer Security Research University of Wollongong Wollongong, NSW 2522 Australia email: thomas/jennie@cs.uow.edu.au Abstract As electronic commerce becomes a reality, additional services related to electronic commerce will also emerge. The current paper proposes the provision of electronic strongboxes as an integrated part of the wider electronic commerce. The strongbox concept is introduced as an electronic counterpart of physical strongboxes typically found in large traditional financial institutions, such as banks, having secure vaults or other secure physical storage. The work identifies some requirements of electronic strongboxes both from the functionality perspective and from...

Atomicity in Electronic Commerce
- J. D. Tygar
There is a tremendous demand for the ability to electronically buy and sell goods over networks. Electronic commerce has inspired a large variety of work. Unfortunately, much of that work ignores traditional transaction processing concerns --- chiefly atomicity. This paper discusses the role of atomicity in electronic commerce. It then briefly surveys some major types of electronic commerce pointing out flaws in atomicity. We pay special attention to the atomicity problems of proposals for digital cash. The paper presents two examples of highly atomic electronic commerce systems: NetBill and Cryptographic Postage Indicia.
