 Electronic Commerce Framework




  • E-Commerce applications will be built on the existing technology infrastructure
  • A myriad of computers Communication networks Communication software
  • Common business services for facilitating the buying and selling process
  • Messaging & information distribution as a means of sending and retrieving information
  • Multimedia content & network publishing, for creating a product & a means to communicate about it
  • The information superhighway- the very foundation-for providing the highway system along which all e-commerce must travel
  • The two pillars supporting all e-commerce applications & infrastructure
  • Any successful e-commerce will require the I-way infrastructure in the same way that regular commerce needs
  • I-way will be a mesh of interconnected data highways of many forms: Telephone, wires, cable TV wire, and Radio-based wireless-cellular & satellite
  • Movies=video + audio
  • Digital games=music + video + software
  • Electronic books=text + data + graphics + music + photographs + video
  • In the electronic ‘highway system’ multimedia content is stored in the form of electronic documents
  • These are often digitized
  • On the I-way messaging software fulfills the role, in any no. of forms: e-mail, EDI, or point-to-point file transfers
  • Encryption & authentication methods to ensure security
  • Electronic payment schemes developed to handle complex transactions
  • These logistics issues are difficult in long-established transportation

What is RMI? Discuss stub and skeleton. Explain its role in creating distributed applications.

-
 The RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is an API that provides a mechanism to create distributed application in java. The RMI allows an object to invoke methods on an object running in another JVM. The RMI provides remote communication between the applications using two objects stub and skeleton. RMI applications often comprise two separate programs, a server and a client. A typical server program creates some remote objects, makes references to these objects accessible, and waits for clients to invoke methods on these objects. A typical client program obtains a remote reference to one or more remote objects on a server and then invokes methods on them.  RMI provides the mechanism by which the server and the client communicate and pass information back and forth. A primary goal for the RMI designers was to allow programmers to develop distributed Java programs with the same syntax and semantics used for non-distributed programs. To do this, they had to carefully map how Java clas...

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...

Explain CORBA architecture briefly.

-
Image
  ARCHITECTURE OF CORBA The major components that make up the CORBA architecture include the: Interface Definition Language (IDL), Object Request Broker (ORB), The Portable Object Adaptor (POA), Naming Service, and Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). Interface Definition languages: CORBA uses the concept of an interface Definition language to implement the services. IDL is a neutral programming language method of defining how a service is implemented. The syntax of this language is independent of any programming language. IDL is used to define an interface, which describes the methods that are available and the parameters that are required when a call is made for a remote object. Object Request Broker (ORB): The foundation of CORBA architecture is based on the Object Request Broker (ORB). The ORB is prime mechanism that acts as a middleware between the client and the server. It provides a heterogeneous environment in which a client can remotely communicate with the server irrespective of t...
