Abstract

E-commerce has begun to evolve beyond simple webpages to more sophisticated ways of conducting e-businesstransactions, such as through electronicadvertising, negotiation, and delivery. However, toparticipate in these advances requires the skills ofprofessional programmers, and end-user owners of smallbusinesses often cannot justify this expense. In this paper,we present FAR, an end-user language to offer anddeliver e-services. The novel aspects of FAR are itssupport of small e-services and its multiparadigmapproach to combining ideas from spreadsheets and rule-basedprogramming with drag-and-drop web page layoutdevices.
