Paper Abstract:
|
With the rise of information economy and the challenges of globalization, e-commerce has become imperative. Quality control is critical to the success of e-commerce, and it is an ever-increasing complex, mission-critical process. Rapidly growing complexity of integrating, deploying and managing information systems for quality control in e-commerce overwhelms the capabilities of software developers and system administrators. This has motivated our research1 to develop a flexible, adaptable, extensible, and robust system to monitor and manage quality on a 24x7 basis. We have developed a new multi-agent architecture for quality control. The new multi-agent architecture is designed with consideration of the principles of autonomic computing. This paper presents our new architecture and research progress toward developing next-generation computing systems for e-commerce--computing systems with self-managing, self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing, and self-protecting characteristics. It also discusses plans for future enhancement of this research project. |
