Abstract
This paper examines an impact of the growing intelligent agent technologies and the Semantic Web on the phenomenon of e-commerce. We discuss the problems – technical as well as legal – arising from the emergence of the new forms of intelligent software and consider the possible solutions. In particular, we review how the integration of the Semantic Web and intelligent agents can provide a new environment for the secure and scalable e-commerce applications.
Highlights
In this paper we explicate some of the issues related to the emerging forms of intelligent software, primarily in respect to e-commerce and the newly arriving phenomenon of the Semantic Web
The range of relevant problems is very wide and covers technical and legal issues related to e-Commerce, Semantic Web, Web Ontologies, and intelligent agent technologies
The intelligent technologies are enabled and often intended to amplify the potentially abusive impact of the intrusive business practices. The developers of such technologies should be able to distinguish between a support tool design and a ‘social engineering’ tool design; to that effect an appropriate set of constraints should be embedded into the existing as well as emerging agent design methodologies. These considerations are especially relevant to the so-called mobile intelligent agents representing a form of distributed computing
Summary
In this paper we explicate some of the issues related to the emerging forms of intelligent software, primarily in respect to e-commerce and the newly arriving phenomenon of the Semantic Web. In this paper we explicate some of the issues related to the emerging forms of intelligent software, primarily in respect to e-commerce and the newly arriving phenomenon of the Semantic Web In these areas intelligent software in general and intelligent agents in particular offer significant benefits while posing special challenges for the information technology professionals as well as the users. The range of relevant problems is very wide and covers technical and legal issues related to e-Commerce, Semantic Web, Web Ontologies, and intelligent agent technologies. The paper is not conceived as a comprehensive tutorial but rather as an outline of the growing problems and possible solutions
