Elektronik Ticaret Ve Sosyo-Ekonomik Etkileri

Elektronik ticaret her şeyi değiştirmiştir, ya da birçok şeyin yenilenmesini sağlamıştır diyemeyiz. Ama ticaret anlayışının gelişmesi elektronik ticareti, elektronik ticaretin gelişmesi de ticaret anlayışının değişmesi anlamına gelir diyebiliriz.

A brief history of open source software

Although all the stories related to software are obviously short, that of open source software is one of the longest amongst them. In fact, it could be said that in the beginning, there was only free (libre) software.

A Model for Cost Allocation and Pricing in the Internet

This paper explores issues in the pricing of the Internet, in particular the relationship between the range of service actually offered to users and the cost of providing these services.

A Model for Efficient Aggregation of Resources for Economic Public Goods on the Internet

A year ago, debate was in full force over commercialization of the Internet. At one extreme were the proponents of the classic market approach who revere the genius of the market exchange system.

A Priority Pricing Approach to Manage Multi-Service Class Networks in Real-Time

In the near future a collection of data communication networks (the Internet) is going to provide a variety of services through multiple service classes where each service class will provide a different performance in terms of response time.

An Assessment of Pricing Mechanisms for the Internet--A Regulatory Imperative

This paper argues that however much of an anathema the notion of regulating the Internet may be, there is a strong need to start putting the appropriate regulatory structures in place as the commercialized Internet moves incrementally towards a usage-based pricing system.

An Introduction to Internet Economics

Research on Internet Economics attempts to improve our understanding of the Internet as an economic system. The lack of accepted metrics for economic analysis of the Internet is increasingly problematic, as the Internet grows in scale, scope, and significance to the global economy.

Anarchy and the Internet

The word 'anarchy' in understood in two ways, one positive and one negative. In the positive use, the way in which celebrated anarchists such as Proudhon and Kropotkin used it, anarchy is absence of government, and for that reason freedom from the coercive power of the state.

Balancing Control and Anarchy on the Internet

Because no single entity runs the Internet, it is hard to control the actions of the Net's users.

Charging and Accounting for Bursty Connections

We describe a simple charging and accounting mechanism for bursty high-priority connections, based on their effective bandwidths. A connection provides whatever traffic information it happens to have, essentially through its choice of charging regime.

Economics and Internet Interconnection Agreements

We explore the economic factors associated with multiple Internet interconnection architectures, which have enabled the Internet to grow with the number of applications, number of users, and amount of network traffic.

Endorsements, Licensing, and Insurance for Distributed System Services

Clients in a distributed system place their confidence in many servers, and servers themselves rely on other servers for file storage, authentication, authorization, and payment.

Information Security for Electronic Commerce on the Internet

A flurry of events in 1995 demonstrated that issues related to electronic commerce and information security are of deep concern to the public, businesses, government, researchers, and users of the rapidly expanding Internet.

Internet Cost Structures and Interconnection Agreement

This paper is concerned with the relationship between the costs of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and optimal interconnection arrangements. Section 1 is an introduction to the Internet.

IT empowers regular folks

The information technology revolution of the last 25 years is not "scale neutral." In other words, it does not affect big and small companies equally.

NetCheque, NetCash, and the Characteristics of Internet Payment Services

Secure methods of payment are needed before we will see widespread commercial use of the Internet. Recently proposed and implemented payment methods follow one of three models: electronic currency, credit-debit, and secure credit card transactions.

Pricing Network Usage: A Market for Bandwidth or Market for Communication?

[1] A congestion pricing scheme will generate revenue only if demand for bandwidth at zero price exceeds the bandwidth capacity. The recipient of congestion pricing revenue has an incentive to cause congestion in order to collect more revenue.

The Design of an Optimal Pricing Scheme for ATM Integrated-Services Networks

ATM integrated-services networks are expected to dominate information carriage in the next 20 years. While there are extensive studies of the engineering problems of designing ATM integrated-services networks, related economic problems, such as how to price services offered by this type of network, have not been fully discussed.

The Role of Responsive Pricing in the Internet

The Internet continues to evolve as it reaches out to a wider user population. The recent introduction of user-friendly navigation and retrieval tools for the World Wide Web has triggered an unprecedented level of interest in the Internet among the media and the general public, as well as in the technical community.

User Control Modes and IP Allocation

Usage charging has been promoted recently as a means for recovering both production costs as well as social congestion costs in the Internet. Users that generate IP packets via their application will be charged a per-packet fee that varies dynamically with IP load.
