| Abstract | Barter is developing very fast recently and it has grown as a multibillion-dollar industry. Barter exchanges can help businesses solve many problems such as short of cash, slow inventory by allowing them to exchange products and service with each other without using money. As intermediaries, barter exchanges need an effective way to facilitate information exchange between members and encourage trading activities. This thesis provides a framework that supports barter exchange operations. The operations are considered as a process of creating, integrating, and disseminating electronic catalogs. The framework uses XML and classification standards such as ebXML, UNSPSC to ease information exchange process. In addition, it uses web services for system integration. The evaluation of the prototype shows that the framework successfully satisfies the above requirements; it also gain very positive responses from the barter professionals. |
