However, due to the differences in preferences, needs and idiosyncrasies, these demands are not the same for different shoppers. In previous work, we built a toolkit to support the development of adaptive web applications. Our toolkit gathers and analyzes client logs in real time, allowing to understand the user behavior during navigation. By exploiting our toolkit, developers are able to build applications that adapt on-the-fly according to the user needs. This paper presents an extension to our previous work which allows adaptation code to be triggered automatically when interface problems are detected. Moreover, we provide adaptation templates that make the adaptation process straightforward.","PeriodicalId":347774,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123881344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This decision become even more complex while considering demand and supply uncertainties in the AP planning. However, this lead to more efficient results in today's uncertain markets. Online retailers of late have access to massive amounts of internal and external data which they can leverage their power for tackling the inherent demand uncertainty and supplier uncertainty for assortment planning. This paper propose an AP framework for declaring how to use that data in different stage of decision making. Demand function in the framework is augmented using Google Trends (GT) and Google Correalte (GC) data which improve its accuracy. Using GT and GC increase the power of demand function extrapolability. Feature based modeling has been proposed to this end which allows us to use the GT data more easily. The final assortment decisions are then weighted against the supplier uncertainties to adjust for considering the variety and lead-time supplier effect. Techniques such as operations research methods and web science model will be utilised to develop the required approaches. While assortment planning is the combination of marketing and operations research techniques, in this work for the first time we incorporate web science techniques as the third edge of this important process.","PeriodicalId":347774,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117263083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the first proposal model is Time Value of Money Prediction (TVM), aiming to calculate time value of money for each listing and taking into account of both effects of listing's financing time and flow risk. Then, investment profits of listings are assessed with Investment Profits Prediction (IP) model by predicting default risk. Finally, we apply Total Capital Value Maximization (TCVM) model to obtain the top-N recommendation by incorporating the round of time and data size.

The online transaction environment is characterized by virtuality and anonymity, so the trust plays an indispensable role. Currently the trust issue has become one of the main reasons that troubles and hinders the online shopping behavior of consumers. In this paper, the trusted third party (TTP) in Australia's business is studied and the factors influencing consumers' trust behavior are examined from the perspective of consumers online trust of online shopping. Based on the literature review and combined with the development status and background of Australia's e-commerce, underpinned by the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Institutional Theory and Signaling Theory, an integrative service framework of TTP is proposed and empirically tested in this paper. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling was conducted to assess the hypotheses. This study proposes that an integrative service framework of TTP should include the following five aspects: payment service, logistics & distribution service, guarantee & insurance service, certification service, and rating & recommendation service. The empirical results, obtained in a sample of 282 online shopping users, indicate that the above-mentioned five different types of TTPs, which have combined effect on the trust motivation and behavior of consumers. Through building an integrative service framework of TTP, the level of consumer trust can be more fully strengthened. When consumers think that more services from TTP are owned by an enterprise, they have smaller barrier in their expected future trust and stronger control of their own trust behavior, and finally enhance the consumers' trust behavior.","PeriodicalId":347774,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE)","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134292654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
