E-Commerce and PDC: Panel ?
What are/will be the major problems/issues in
eCommerce? How will or can PDC be applied to
solve some of them?
Other than “Compute Power”, what else can PDC
contribute to e-commerce?
How would/could the different forms of PDC
(clusters, hypercluster, GRID,…) be applied to ecommerce?
Could you describe one hot research topic for PDC
applying to e-commerce?
A killer e-commerce application for PDC ?
…...
Killer Applications of Clusters





Numerous Scientific & Engineering Apps.
Parametric Simulations
Business Applications
– E-commerce Applications (Amazon.com, eBay.com ….)
– Database Applications (Oracle on cluster)
– Decision Support Systems
Internet Applications
– Web serving / searching
– Infowares (yahoo.com, AOL.com)
– ASPs (application service providers)
– eMail, eChat, ePhone, eBook, eCommerce, eBank, eSociety,
eAnything!
– Computing Portals
Mission Critical Applications
– command control systems, banks, nuclear reactor control,
star-war, and handling life threatening situations.
Major problems/issues in E-commerce
 Social Issues
Capacity Planning
 Multilevel Business Support (e.g., B2P2C)
 Information Storage, Retrieval, and Update
 Performance
 Heterogeneity
 System Scalability
 System Reliability
 Identification and Authentication
 System Expandability
 Security
 Cyber Attacks Detection and Control
(cyberguard)
 Data Replication, Consistency, and Caching
Manageability (administration and control)
Amazon.com: Online sales/trading
killer E-commerce Portal
Several Thousands of Items
books, publishers, suppliers
Millions of Customers
– Customers details, transactions details,
support for transactions update
(Millions) of Partners
– Keep track of partners details, tracking
referral link to partner and sales and payment
Sales based on advertised price
Sales through auction/bids
– A mechanism for participating in the bid
(buyers/sellers define rules of the game)

Clusters are already in use for web serving, web-hosting, and
number of other Internet applications including E-commerce
– scalability, availability, performance, reliable-high
performance-massive storage and database support.
– Attempts to support online detection of cyber attacks
(through data mining) and control
Hyperclusters and the GRID:
– Support for transparency in (secure) Site/Data Replication for
high availability and quick response time (taking site close to
the user).
– Compute power from hyperclusters/Grid can be used for data
mining for cyber attacks and fraud detection and control.
– Helps to build Compute Power Market, ASPs, and Computing
Portals.
