Design of Time Cognizant Electronic Brokerages

科纳纳，普拉布德夫，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校。该职业奖支持对下一代电子经纪使能技术开发的跨学科研究。在未来，电子经纪商必须提供基于复杂用户偏好的时间认知、主动和创新服务，类似于口头沟通中表达的偏好。本研究的重点是发展理论基础和方法，以(a)开发用户界面，以交互方式指定复杂的偏好，(b)将偏好转换为适当的处理规范，(c)开发有效的算法来及时检测、更新和取消事件，以及(d)设计有效地将动作绑定到事件/条件检测的机制。将开发一种软件体系结构，以创建可插入商业数据库的基于组件的功能包。此外，本研究提出将经济学原理融入经纪业设计的创新方法，以提供最优服务品质，并整合用户信任的作用。这些发现经过基于java的概念验证软件原型的验证，将有助于为先进的电子商务应用程序创建强大而可靠的代理。本职业建议的综合教育计划包括信息技术的发展和领域相关课程。这些课程将涉及特定领域的电子经纪的设计和电子环境下新商业模式的实验。

CAREER: Design of Time Cognizant Electrical BrokeragersIIL-9875746Konana, Prabhudev CThe University of Texas at AustinThis CAREER award supports interdisciplinary research on the development of enabling technology for the next generation of electronic brokerages. In the future, electronic brokerages must ideally provide time-cognizant, pro-active and innovative services based on complex user preferences similar to those expressed in verbal communication. This research focuses on developing the theoretical foundations and a methodology to (a) develop user interface to specify complex preferences interactively, (b) translate preferences into appropriate processing specifications, (c) develop efficient algorithms to detect, update and cancel events in a timely manner, and (d) design mechanisms that efficiently bind actions to event/condition detection. A software architecture will be developed to create component-based functional packages that can be plugged into commercial databases. In addition, this research proposes an innovative approach to integrate economic principles into brokerage design tp provide the optimal service quality and to integrate the role of user trust. The findings, validated by Java-based proff-of-concept software prototypes, will help create arobust and reliable brokerages for advanced electronic commerce applications. the Integrated Educational Plan of this CAREER proposal includes the development of information technology and domain-related courses. These courses will deal with the design of domain-specific electronic brokerages and experimentation with new business models in the electronic environment.
