336 A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK FOR ONLINE STORE FUNCTIONALITIES

ABSTRACT Online retailing today is considered as the most prevalent business model of electronic commerce applications. Research related to online stores is plentiful, but there appears to be a lack of broad and flexible frameworks that can be used to capture the functionalities of online stores in a systematic and modular manner. This paper presents such a comprehensive functionality framework in the form of a two-dimension grid, with one dimension distinguished between store functional architecture and another distinguished between store system goals. This framework provides a crucial guidance for the analysis, design, and development of online stores. Keywords: E-commerce, Online Stores, Information Quality, System Quality, Service Quality INTRODUCITON Online retailing is considered as the most prevalent business model and the fastest-growing retail channel of electronic commerce applications existing today Development and operation of an online store would incur high costs that need to be carefully justified and controlled. Therefore, online store owners need to have a comprehensive view of the stores and be able to systematically indentify and refine system goals to achieve store competitiveness and differentiation. System goals have been recognized as powerful drivers for systems development, because they help relate system requirements to the business and organizational needs and enable traceability of design rationale The objective of this study is to develop such a comprehensive framework. Section 2 discusses the functional architecture of online stores. Section 3 presents a synthesis and summary of system goals for online stores identified from related literature. Section 4 illustrates the framework that integrates both functionalities and system goals of online stores. Finally, section 5 concludes with some limitations of the framework. FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE OF ONLINE STORES "Ecommerce" is commonly viewed as "the sale and purchase of products and services over the internet, which includes the sharing of business information, maintaining business relationship, and conducting business transaction by way of internet based technology" Several attempts have been made to depict or classify online store functional architecture. Nour and Fadlalla [31] classified the Internet-based virtual markets according to two principal marketing categories: product and delivery. Rowley [38] viewed online stores in terms of five components of marketing activity: promotion, one-to-one contact, closing, transaction and fulfillment. Emphasizing the customer's perspective, Wan [45], added "service" as the sixt

Algoritmo de recomendação de presentes em dispositivos móveis

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade UnB Gama, 2017.O crescimento do mercado de aplicações para dispositivos móveis e de vendas do mercado de e-commerce vem aumentado constantemente, aliado com o crescimento de estudos e soluções de recomendação de produtos implementados nos sistemas e-commerce. Neste contexto, este Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso propõe um algoritmo de recomendação de presentes em dispositivos móveis baseado no framework COREL. O algoritmo de recomendação proposto é uma customização do COREL, tomando como base a complexidade de implementação associada à aplicativos móveis para iOS. Portanto, este trabalho objetiva customizar um algoritmo de recomendação de presentes no contexto de dispositivos móveis utilizando como insumo principal as preferências do usuário para a recomendação de presentes no aplicativo Giftr.The mobile application market and the sales of the e-commerce have been growing steadily, also with the growth of studies and products recommendation solutions implemented in the e-commerce systems. In this context, this paper proposes a recommendation algorithm for mobile devices based on the COREL framework. The proposed recommendation algorithm is a customization of the COREL framework, based on the implementation complexity associated with iOS mobile applications. Therefore, this work aims to customize a gift recommendation algorithm in the context of mobile devices using as main input the user preferences for the recommendation of gifts in the Giftr application

Quantifying Quality of Life

Describes technological methods and tools for objective and quantitative assessment of QoL Appraises technology-enabled methods for incorporating QoL measurements in medicine Highlights the success factors for adoption and scaling of technology-enabled methods This open access book presents the rise of technology-enabled methods and tools for objective, quantitative assessment of Quality of Life (QoL), while following the WHOQOL model. It is an in-depth resource describing and examining state-of-the-art, minimally obtrusive, ubiquitous technologies. Highlighting the required factors for adoption and scaling of technology-enabled methods and tools for QoL assessment, it also describes how these technologies can be leveraged for behavior change, disease prevention, health management and long-term QoL enhancement in populations at large. Quantifying Quality of Life: Incorporating Daily Life into Medicine fills a gap in the field of QoL by providing assessment methods, techniques and tools. These assessments differ from the current methods that are now mostly infrequent, subjective, qualitative, memory-based, context-poor and sparse. Therefore, it is an ideal resource for physicians, physicians in training, software and hardware developers, computer scientists, data scientists, behavioural scientists, entrepreneurs, healthcare leaders and administrators who are seeking an up-to-date resource on this subject

OSGS -- A Personalized Online Store for E-commerce Environments

Current online stores suffer from a cardinal problem. There are too many products to offer, and customers find themselves lost due to the vast selection. As opposed to traditional stores, there is little or no guidance that helps the customers as they search. In this paper, we propose a new approach for designing a successful personalized online store enabling the successful searching of customers in the store. This approach is based on algorithms commonly used in recommendation systems, but which are rarely used for searches in online stores. We employ this approach for both keyword and browse searches, and present an implementation of this approach. We compared several search guide algorithms experimentally, and the experiments' results show that the suggested algorithms are applicable to the domain of online stores
