The Building of E-Commerce Transaction Network Based on Multi-agent and CAS Theory

Abstract

In this paper, analyzed the characteristic of E-Commerce Transaction Network --indetermination, non- linearity, complexity, variety, discreteness, dynamic from the point of view of system, suggested that the modeling and simulation for E-Commerce Transaction Network would simulation for queuing, inventory and network. Complex adaptive system (CAS) theory is used to analyze the e-commerce system and the concept of e-commerce transaction network is proposed. The concepts of degree centrality and between’s centrality in social network analysis are used to analyze the derived 1-mode networks, and the positions of the buyers, sellers and products in the transaction network can be determined visually.
