Paper Abstract:
|
Nowadays, we can observe the growing of the use of mobile devices for performing business through the Internet. Commonly, e-commerce platforms are represented by proprietary systems and specialized websites. This scenario involves the adoption of centralized strategies on e-commerce servers, representing a non-scalable strategy. This situation is even more critical considering the current scenario where mobile devices are latency and fault tolerance sensitive. In this context, this paper proposes the use of the P2P technology as a substrate network for supporting ubiquitous commerce. The rationale for developing the proposal is to offer a commerce infrastructure for small and medium-sized companies. Suppliers and consumers act as end points and access ultrapeers (broker nodes) of their regions. We used the idea of regions as an analogy of hierarchical zones from the DNS service. Ultrapeers manage a region and present among themselves a trust relationship. This feature turns easier and secure business between geographically distant end nodes. Finally, the evaluation shows a case study that points out the main contributions of the proposal. In addition, the tests allow us to classify our solution as a viable alternative for ubiquitous commerce. |
