Ubiquitous and Pervasive Commerce: New Frontiers for Electronic Business
Ubiquitous and Pervasive Commerce: New Frontiers for Electronic Business
The
new capabilities of ubiquitous and pervasive computing imply that
products, locations, consumers and employees create rich streams of
information about themselves, their immediate environment and their use.
This book brings together technological and business aspects of
conducting commerce using ubiquitous and pervasive computing techniques
and also examines its implications for society at large. Individual
chapters examine in detail the core technologies that make ubiquitous
computing possible, the business standards that must be established to
support the envisioned global infrastructures, and the applications in
the supply chain and for consumers that can be built today. They also
examine business cases where investment in this technology is
appropriate as well as the economics mechanisms that must be designed
for the effective use of such systems. The implications of ubiquitous
and pervasive commerce for the legal system, for employees of retailers
and for privacy protection of the public at large are also discussed.Ebook format: PDF
