Enterprise E-Commerce: The Software Component Breakthrough for Business-to-Business Commerce

It takes head-on the challenges and issues of enterprise-class electronic commerce -- a completely new infrastructure for a whole new way of doing business. It addresses the requirements of large-scale, mission-critical applications where agility, scalability, reliability, extensibility, interoperability and integration with heterogeneous legacy systems are essential. 

Because e-Commerce is inseparably about both business and technology, the book takes a holistic view to fuse these two worlds into one, and reflecting the authors' passion, takes on the challenge of reaching both business and technical people. It provides CEOs and line-of-business managers with blueprints for building agile companies that can thrive when nothing is permanent but change. For CIOs, CTOs and e-Commerce development teams, it describes the technology architectures needed to embrace change and enable the digital corporation. Along the way it maps the emerging standards for open e-Commerce and open markets including CommerceNet's eCo framework, Enerprise JavaBeans, XML vocabularies, CORBA, Oasis registries, UML and the OMG EC reference architecture.
