Building a Framework for performance analysis of B2B E Markets using Computational Models

Abstract

Internet is easily available for the suppliers, retailers and manufacturer for doing business online is Business-to-Business (B2B) E-markets. The involvement of number of suppliers and retailers depends on the product to be manufactured, type of sub products used for manufacturing and size of the company where assembling is done. A variety of suppliers and retailers can be allowed to participate in trade straightforwardly without any influence. The growth of B2B E-commerce is driven by two factors. First factor is stock holding can be reduced in large business. The small business can earn huge profit by bidding or by jointly deliver a large contract in form of supplying sub products is the second factor. Numerous framework models in B2B E-markets are available which adopt different method for carrying out business online. Almost all the frameworks are layered. In which the layers are depended on each other. Some framework has security and others do not have security issues, software agents, computational models and module framework. Through this doctoral work, it is attempted to build the framework which is divided into different modules and sub modules. The agents are used for communication between the different modules. The modules and sub modules are designed using different computational models. There are four types of modules in the framework of B2B E-commerce. The forecasting module will forecast the type of fast moving product in the market. The short listing of the suppliers and retailers is done in this module. The e-sourcing module designed using workflow Petri net. The e-supply chain module is divided into two sub modules. The coordination sub module is designed using queuing theory and configuration sub module is designed using game theory. The balancing module which is designed using Shapley values a game theory concept. They will give exact result without ambiguity. Algorithms are developed and implemented using Mat lab and C programming.
