Meteor Burst Communications: Bits per Burst Performance Bounds

Abstract: It is important for communications researchers and designers to understand the limitations of the media that they use. To enable a better understanding of meteor trails as a communications medium, classical received power equations were used to derive two performance bounds. These give the maximum number of bits that can be relayed during a single burst using 1)an optimum constant bit rate, and 2) a continuously varying bit rate. It was found that the second bound is about two to three times larger than the first. Examples are given to show how the maximum bits per burst varies as a function of great circle distance between terminals, wavelength, and trail electron line density, when the receiver uses an optimum constant bit rate. The first bound Was also used to estimate how the long-term bits per unit of time, or average bit rate, varies with changes in electron line density q when the meteor burst rate is considered.

Ontological engineering for B2B E-commerce

Abstract: In this paper we discuss the nature of our overall enterprise to create ontologies in the product and service knowledge space for Business-to-Business (B2B) electronic commerce. We describe one crucial problem: the mapping problem, i.e., mapping among ontologies, taxonomies, and classification systems, some of which are more semantically sound and coherent than others. This problem we consider to be in need of a sustained research program if tenable solutions are to be found, since the lack of a solution will preclude widespread adoption of ontologies by the commercial world. Finally, we summarize the general issues we faced and indicate prospective future research.

Collaborative Commerce and Knowledge Management

Abstract: This paper describes collaborative commerce (c-commerce); it essentially combines e-commerce, knowledge management and collaboration to carry out transactions and other activities within and across organizations. We first discuss the building blocks for c-commerce. Then, we describe models and federated architectures for c-commerce. Next we analyze the strategic role of knowledge management for c-commerce as well as discuss managerial and business implications. Finally, we provide directions for c-commerce.
