System and method for evoking policy based E-commerce

摘要

A personal commerce manager client-side agent 710 establishes customer information, one or more customer rules, and one or more customer policies for the customer site. A data exchange between the customer site and a vendor site is managed based on the customer information, the customer rules, and the customer policies for the customer site. A server-side agent 706, 720 stores customer information, at least one customer rule and at least one customer policy, all received from the client-side agent 710. The server-side agent is able to recognise a request in the form of personal commerce manager information transmitted from the client-side agent and verifies with the server-side policy whether it is able to fulfill the request. If it is, the server-side agent carries out a customer rule and carries out a customer policy.
