| Abstract | Modern barter business, a kind of B2B e-Marketplace, is a trade exchange done via Web-based technologies between two or more companies associate with a broker company. This kind of trade grows rapidly in the past few years. There are researches on B2B e-Marketplace concentrated on improving the system efficiency, such as customer purchase prediction, system trade volume maximization and system trade balance optimization. However, those researches have never been observed their properties and effectiveness against the real system. Thus, this thesis contributes to the issue. Main purposes of this thesis are to learn the purchase behavior of companies in a barter pool and simulate the purchase behavior of companies. We apply Naïve bayes classifier with aspects as purchase the behavior learning. The inverse-transform method is conducted to simulate the learned purchase behavior. Experiments conducted are divided into three parts. The first part is designed to evaluate the learned purchase behavior. The second part is designed to evaluate the simulated purchase behavior. The last part is designed to evaluate the optimization algorithm. The evaluation results of the first two parts show that the purchase behavior learning algorithm and purchase simulating algorithm are able to accomplish their objectives. The evaluation result of the third task shows that the optimization module is able to reduce the system absolute balance and increase the system trade volume. |
