U-commerce research: a literature review and classification

Abstract

Nowadays, numerous journals and conferences have published articles related to ubiquitous commerce (u-commerce), indicating many researchers' interest. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to review the works that were published in journals and conferences, suggest a new classification framework of ubiquitous commerce research and explore each feature of classification framework. This paper is based on a literature review of ubiquitous commerce research from 2000 to 2010 using a keyword index and paper title search. The 209 articles are classified and results of these are presented, based on a framework that consists of five distinct layers: theory and research layer, network infrastructure layer, technology infrastructure layer, application layer and user infrastructure layer. This paper allows researchers to extract several lessons learned that are important for the ubiquitous commerce research. and Engineering) from the Wuhan University. His research and consulting interests include mobile commerce, ubiquitous commerce, context-aware computing and electronic library. His publications have appeared in Int. J. Mobile Communications, Program: electronic library and information systems, The Electronic Library and in the proceedings of some international conferences.

The Relationship Among U-Constructs, Trust and Satisfaction: Evidence From Mobile Banking Users

“…Besides, u-commerce features have been increasingly used. Thus, some features (e.g., unison, unique) cannot provide enough benefits at a fully functional level, and it may be necessary to make improvements and developments and make technological opportunities widely available in order for these features to offer as much benefit as expected (Liu, 2013;Zhang & Liu, 2011). In this respect, it is beneficial to consider the effects of the characteristics that have not yet been found on satisfaction that may have effects over time.…”

An Empirical Study on Factors Affecting Continuance Intention of Using Yu’e Bao

“…The behavioural aspect is defined as intention to make repeated purchases, while the attitudinal one refers to continuous preference or favourable attitude toward certain services or a certain product or firm. In spite of situational influences, marketing efforts, and short-term changes in the performance of the product or service, loyalty is relatively stable, that is why loyalty should be an important construct in the study of IT continuance [15][16][17][18][19]. That affective loyalty serves as a significant and consistent predictor of individuals' repurchasing and continuance decisions has been strongly supported by empirical studies [20].…”

Mini-ME Matchmaker and Reasoner for the Semantic Web of Things

“…Semantic Web technologies have been acknowledged to promote interoperability and intelligent information processing in ubiquitous computing. Scenarios include supply chain management (Giannakis & Louis, 2016), ubiquitous commerce (Liu, 2013;De Virgilio, Di Sciascio, Ruta, Scioscia, & Torlone 2011), peer-to-peer resource discovery Ruta, Scioscia, Ieva, Capurso & Di Sciascio, 2017) and so on. The ever-increasing computational resources and communications effectiveness of mobile devices enable ubiquitous processing and exchange of rich and structured information for context-aware resource discovery and decision support.…”
