Computerized Commerce.

摘要

Computerized Commerce is commercial transaction via computers, particularly when computers perform a significant role beyond the tracking of details in support of human decisions. This article describes many aspects and potential benefits of Computerized Commerce, including electronic gathering of needed prepurchase information, methods for E-payments (E-checks), E-banking, and Business Communication Protocols. USC/ISI's Project FAST is an example of a project with the potential for breaking, in its domain, the chicken and egg dilemma that retards progress toward Computerized Commerce. (KR)
