Abstract

Close collaboration among businesses is required in B2B EC environment. Furthermore, emergency requests or critical information among businesses should be processed in an immediate mode. Most current systems, however, due to firewalls for the systems' security and autonomy, can not handle these requirements appropriately, but handle them in an ad hoc manner In this paper a method of timely collaboration among businesses and an active functionality component to support it in B2B EC environment are proposed. Since the active functionality component supports high level ECA rule patterns and event-based immediate processing, system administrators and programmers can easily program and maintain the timely collaboration independently to the application logic. The proposed active functionality component uses HTTP protocol to be applied through firewalls and is designed using a commercial DBMS for practical purpose.

B2B 전자 상거래 환경에서 기업들은 긴밀한 협력을 필요로 한다 특히 기업 사이의 긴급 협조요청이나 긴급 정보는 즉시 처리 방식으로 협력하여야 한다. 그러나 대부분의 시스템들은 시스템의 독립성과 보안을 위한 방화벽 때문에 이를 적절히 다루지 못하고 있고 ad hoc 방식으로 처리하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 B2B EC 환경에서 기업들의 적기 협력 방안과 이를 지원하는 능동 기능 컴포넌트를 제안한다. 능동 기능 컴포넌트는 고수준의 ECA 규칙 패턴과 사건 기반의 즉시 처리 방식을 지원하므로 시스템 관리자나 프로그래머가 응용 로직과는 별도로 즉시처리 협력을 쉽게 구축하고 유지 보수할 수 있다. 제안하는 능동 기능 컴포넌트는 기업의 방화벽을 통해서도 적용될 수 있도록 HTTP 프로토콜을 사용하였고, 실용성을 위하여 상업용 DBMS를 이용하여 설계하였다.
