AUTHENTICATING FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS

A transaction manager system associates a payment account with a user to allow future transactions with the payment account to be conducted in online transactions, mobile transactions, and other transactions. A user enters payment account information, such as a credit card account or a debit card account, into a user interface of the transaction manager system. The user enters user credentials for the user account on the card issuer that issued the payment account. The transaction manager system requests an authorization hold on the user account with the card issuer system. The transaction manager system submits the provided user credentials to the card issuer system to verify that the authorization hold has been processed. The success of the verification is an indication that the user possesses the proper credentials for the user account. After the verification, the transaction manager system allows future transactions to be conducted

Adoption of Internet Strategies by Agribusiness Firms

This paper explores the factors guiding Internet adoption by agribusiness firms. The relationship between Internet strategies and manager perceptions on the barriers to and catalysts for Internet adoption are analyzed in a supply-chain management framework. Using factor analysis and an ordered Probit model, results indicate that Internet strategies are more likely to be adopted in larger firms with a global scope. Also, manager perceptions regarding the impact of Internet adoption on transaction costs are just as likely to influence adoption as the perceived impacts on more traditional production costs.Internet, E-commerce, Supply-chain, Transaction costs, Ordered Probit, Agribusiness, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies,

ADOPTION OF E-COMMERCE STRATEGIES FOR AGRIBUSINESS FIRMS

This paper analyzes the factors guiding Internet and e-commerce implementation by agribusiness firms. The relationship between Internet/e-commerce strategies and manager perceptions on the barriers and factors to e-commerce adoption are analyzed in a supply-chain management framework. Using factor analysis and an ordered Probit model, results indicate that the implementation of Internet/e-commerce strategies is more likely to be adopted in larger firms with a global scope. Also, manager perceptions regarding supply-chain functions influencing transaction costs are more strongly associated with Internet/e-commerce adoption than other functions influencing production costs.e-commerce, supply-chain, transaction costs, factor analysis, order Probit, Agribusiness, Marketing,

Modelling a transaction manager using parallel decision processes

This is the second report concerning transaction management in the database environment. In the first report the role of the transaction manager in protecting the integrity of a database has been studied [van der Made-Potuijt 1989]. In this report a model will be given for the transaction manager as a parallel decision process. To that purpose a modelling method for parallel behaviour, Paradigm, will be introduced. This method uses parallel decision processes for modelling parallel phenomena. Not all the notions of Paradigm will be discussed, a more extensive explanation can be found in Groenewegen [1986-1990]. After this short introduction to Paradigm, the method will be applied to a simple transaction manager. In future research more complex transaction managers will be modelled

Fault Tolerant Consensus Agreement Algorithm

Recently a new fault tolerant and simple mechanism was designed for solving commit consensus problem. It is based on replicated validation of messages sent between transaction participants and a special dispatcher validator manager node. This paper presents a correctness, safety proofs and performance analysis of this algorithm

ANALISIS HUBUNGAN ANTARA RELEVANSI NILAI, TRANSAKSI PIHAK BERELASI DAN KARAKTERISTIK DEWAN KOMISARIS

In the agency theory, investors (principal) expect high company performance, while managers (agent) want high incentives for their work. In order to fulfill high company performance, manager can conduct related party transaction, where such transaction may be done to manipulate accounting information. Accounting information that is often manipulated by manager is earnings. Consequently, earnings reported in the financial reporting will loss value relevance. Board of commissioner plays an important role as the investor’s representative for constraining manipulation by manager. This study aims to examine whether related party transaction reduces the value relevance and whether board characteristics restrain related party transaction. The population in this study are all publicly listed manufacturing industry companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) 2012-2014. The number of samples are 64 companies representing 192 observations. Regression analysis is used as a main analysis tool. The result of this study doesn’t find evidence that related party transaction reduce the value relevance. However, this study finds the evidence that board size and board professionalism decrease the related party transaction

An Agent Based Transaction Manager for Multidatabase Systems

A multidatabase system (MDBMS) is a facility that allows users to access data located in multiple autonomous database management systems (DBMSs) at different sites. To ensure global atomicity for multidatabase transactions, a reliable global atomic commitment protocol is a possible solution. In this protocol a centralized transaction manager (TM) receives global transactions, submits subtransactions to the appropriate sites via AGENTS. An AGENT is a component of MDBS that runs on each site; AGENTS after receiving subtransactions from the transaction manager perform the transaction and send the results back to TM. We have presented a unique proof-of-concept, a JAVA application for an Agent Based Transaction Manager that preserves global atomicity. It provides a user friendly interface through which reliable atomic commitment protocol for global transaction execution in multidatabase environment can be visualized. We demonstrated with three different test case scenarios how the protocol works. This is useful in further research in this area where atomicity of transactions can be verified for protocol correctness

Rancang Bangun Sistem Informasi Penjualan pada Gading Murni Putra

Gading Murni Putra is one of the companies that have major business in sector of stationery and office/school supplies and printing. During this time, Gading Murni Putra has only one information system that record all direct and online (email, livechat, by phone) transaction, so the transaction data is mixed together. Additionally, transaction that occur every day just recorded and not processed into a usefull information for decision making.Based on those problem, sales information system was created. This system has several process. Process for receiving sales order, sales transaction, and receipt of goods. For sales order and sales transaction process, it has each transaction for direct and online (email, livechat, by phone) transaction.This information system can generate report for most or least item sold, most profitable item, customer history report and customer mapping report. Report for most or least item sold and most profitable item can be separated by type of transaction, direct or online (email, livechat, by phone). This information system can be used by manager to evaluate sales transaction for each direct and online (email, livechat, by phone) transaction, in addition it can also be used by manager to knowing the information about customer

Modelling another transaction manager using parallel decision processes and a translation into an object-oriented program

Parallel behaviour can be modelled successfully by Paradigm, a modelling method using parallel decision processes. Its name is an acronym for PARalellism, its Analysis, Design and Implementation by a General Method. For a comprehensive discussion the reader is referred to Groenewegen [1986-1990]. In this paper Paradigm will be used to present a model for a transaction manager for a database management system. The purpose of the presented model is to split the tasks of a transaction manager into components in order to support the developping of a program that performs the tasks of these components including their interaction This model will be translated into an object-oriented program. Such a program is added not to give an efficient program for transaction management, but to show how the model can easily be translated into modules that form together the program. The program can serve as a basis for the implementation of a transaction manager on a system using several processors, using shared memory, although this might not be the most efficient implementation

An Intelligent Interface Integrated Services Environment for Electronic Commerce

This paper proposes an intelligent interface integrated services environment for electronic commerce. It contains four main modules, i.e., dialog manager, EC transaction ontology, information collector, and data analyzer. The dialog manager manages the transaction history of the user to collect the user-specific information. It also provides different helping functions for the user. The EC transaction ontology stores the business type of electronic commerce in the system. It classifies the business process into eight categories, i.e., transaction type, ordering pattern, merchandise type, logistic type, customer category, transport vehicle, delivery type, and service type. It also provides the relations and constraints between different business steps. The information collector instantiates and dispatches different information agents to extract, filter, and synthesize relevant transaction data from different data sources timely. The data analyzer is the main component of the system. It instructs the dialog manager to provide proper helping functions for the different users. It then uses the user model to classify the knowledge and skill level of a user. It also predicts the goal of the user by using case-based reasoning and fuzzy Petri-Net to recommend the user with the best transaction plan and browsing behavior. Finally, it monitors the quality of service that the system provided for the user. This environment not only provides an integrated human-machine interface but also manages the business information thoroughly for the users
