Abstract

The B2B e-commerce area is poised for tremendous growth. While this is a great opportunity for the system designers, the challenges are abundant as well. We list the requirements on an application platform for B2B e-commerce. We describe a framework-based approach to designing such a platform. We use design patterns to describe the frameworks on which the platform is based. These patterns illustrate how the platform supports collaborative business processes that integrate enterprise applications and trading partner systems. We present a programming model that enables the assembly of complex e-business applications on the platform
