Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated approach for e-commerce business modeling and system design, based on the Reference Model of the Open Distributed Processing (RM/ODP) standard. Initially, the main concerns of e-commerce with respect to business modeling are presented; next, the requirements induced by this modeling and the generic e-commerce system interfaces are discussed. Then, the adoption of UML for describing ODP viewpoints as a flexible and efficient mean for designing e-commerce system functions is proposed. Finally, an integrated design methodology taking into account the mapping requirements between the ODP viewpoints is presented. Finally, future work and open issues are discussed.
