Content-based Routing For ebXML Messages in E-commerce

Abstract

The main component of electronic commerce (E-commerce) is the exchange of documents and messages. In the field of commercial messages standardization, the ebXML framework offers the valid standard for message modeling.Due to the importance of standardization ebXML framework in E-commerce, creating more facilities, in the ebXML messaging is so important. Today, the exchange of messages within the ebXML framework uses explicit addressing, in which, the message ultimate recipient is determined based on message producer partner and the information existed in collaboration agreement. In case of explicit addressing Use, among the messages that are reached by the partners in the business process, only a few of them may be appropriate to the needs of the recipient and as a result the recipient is forced to discard some of them. Due to releasing a large number of relatively high-volume messaging in system, not only the bandwidth consumption will rise, but it also slows down the message precision regarding to the message received by the partner that is appropriate to its needs or not. The purpose of this paper is providing a method in order to convert an explicit addressing to the implicit addressing for ebXML messages. The proposed method is based on an algorithm called "Rendezvous", that's one of the algorithms which have been widely used in networks based on contents and specifically in publish/subscribe systems. At the end of work though, bandwidth parameters, speed and precision in both traditional ebXML messaging method and the proposed messaging method are compared.
