“…These can be seen that the factors of growth in EC transactions are fragmented. In addition, EC is developing rapidly primarily because of the phenomenal growth of the WWW and several factors presented in the literature review [5]- [15]. [20].…”

Abstruet-This paper aims to identify the critical growth factors (hereafter called CGFs) that are essential to the development and growth of E-Commerce in a country. The paper starts with reviewing and reclassifying factors explicitly examined by prior studies that have never been unified. The technological & infrastructure factors consist of sub factors that are (a) security, (b) the capacity of Internet connection, (c) IT infrastructure, and (d) telecommunication infrastructure. To identify the sub Factors related to the growth of EC, we examine pooled data of 21 industrial and 21 developing countries over period from 2000 to 2003. For data analysis, several indicators are examined in terms of both absolute and incremental value in order to investigate the states of the growth of EC at a particular time and across time. The findings show that the technological BZ infrastructure factors are critical to the emergence of EC at a particular time. When a country is ready for EC at a particular time, the development of and the increase in the technological & infrastructure factors do not promote the growth of EC. This supports the argument that beyond the readiness of country for utilizing E-Commerce there are still some non-technological CGFs remain to be investigated in further studies.

The demand for computer software applications steadily increases as numbers of users, problem domains, and application areas grow the need for good tools to support the myriad of activities that occur during software development is thus greater than ever. This article provides an overview of current practice in software tool features and usage. It also surveys research work in the area of software tools, indicating recent and likely near‐future trends in tools development. A section outlines recent directions in software process evolution, product domains and people management. As different software tools are used throughout the software process for different activities, changes in processes, products and project organization have introduced a variety of new demands on tools and tool developers. A categorization of software tools aligned with software process activities is then presented, including examples of tools in the various categories, along with a brief explanation of common terms used to describe software tools. We describe key elements of the structure of software tools, ranging from repository and data management to multiple‐view presentation and editing. We then focus on the key issue of tool integration, outlining current approaches to integration, current research trends, and likely near‐future integration support in software tools. We describe various strategies for supporting collaborative work with different software tools, facilitating improved teamwork with tools. We review and discuss current research, practice, and likely trends in automated support in software tools, alleviating developers of tedious tasks and helping manage ever‐growing software complexity. We conclude with a summary of some important factors in successful tool development and deployment.

Middleware is the software layer programmers use to develop distributed applications that run on different kinds of computers and need to communicate through networks. Middleware is one of the essential enabling technologies behind the explosive growth of Internet‐delivered services and products, including e‐commerce. This chapter provides an introduction to the fundamental software technology underlying modern middleware systems. I describe the basic system architecture for distributed middleware systems and then discuss key concepts in distributed programming, including remote procedure calls and distributed object systems. I then present an overview of the basics of current middleware systems , including object request brokers , message‐oriented middleware and transactional servers. The chapter concludes with a description of current trends .
