“Liquid” Electronic Marketplaces

Abstract

Neutral" electronic marketplaces fail because their structure and mode of operation does not allow for the effective accommodation of multiple business models that could serve the interests of a critical mass of adopters. We propose a fresh approach for the creation of economically viable "neutral" electronic marketplaces showing that this can be accomplished through the ability to transcend taxonomical classifications with a generic agent-mediated ontology and, simultaneously, through the provision of flexible and active decision support. Taxonomies may stifle innovation by imposing artificial boundaries through categorization schemes and levels of abstraction. The proposed architecture addresses this issue underlying a "liquid" e-hub that may mutate from one taxonomical classification to another.

As noted above, both the Kindle and the Nook have failed to provide libraries with an ideal platform model.…”

Στις συμβουλευτικές υπηρεσίες προτάθηκε ένα οικονομικά βιώσιμο πολυκατάστημα με τη βοήθεια ενός ευλύγιστου και ενεργού τμήματος υποστήριξης αποφάσεων [4]. Το σύστημα αυτό παρακολουθεί τις ενέργειες του χρήστη και δίνει συμβουλές προσαρμοζόμενο στο περιβάλλον και στις απαιτήσεις του.…”

“…In the case of negotiation, a new anthropocentric system was developed and managed to put also in the game the purchaser with his rights, tactics, subjects and price limits [8]. In the advisory services, an economically viable marketplace with the help of a flexible and active department of support of decisions was proposed [4]. This system watches the actions of the user and gives advices according to his environment and demands.…”
