Electronic cash is a subject of great economic, political, and research importance. With advances in computer networks, in processor speed, and in databases and with advances in note counterfeiting technology and with both individuals' and businesses' desire for remote and more convenient

of the technology to business operations is of greater interest here than the detail of software and hardware attributes of systems. The advent of technological solutions such as digital ecosystems has ramifications for both policy makers and practitioners in the SME arena. Exploration of the application

Further, an architecture / model is presented that identifies protocols of interaction for Business-to-Business (B2B), Businessto -Consumer (B2C), and Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) e-commerce activity. Components of the architecture are discussed and appropriate technologies to build a prototype

ABSTRACT: XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is an emerging technology that facilitates directed searches and simultaneous presentation of related financial statement and footnote information. We investigate whether using an XBRL-enhanced search engine helps nonprofessional financial

of enterprise solutions, such as support for infrastructure service-level agreements. To address the challenges and deficiencies in the current state of the art, we propose a modular, extensible cloud architecture with intrinsic support for business service management and the federation of clouds. The goal

These capacities include sound ecological knowledge, observational, analytical and experimental skills, and inclination towards collectivity to allow farmers to make better, informed decisions for location-specific agro-ecosystem management

In today’s e-conomy the only chance for prosperity is to exploit optimally the emerging technologies based on which a new kind of infrastructure facilitates strategic partnerships among cyber-highway enabled participants. This paper merges the latest results obtained by the Holonic Manufacturing
