Study And Development Of E-Commerce Simulation System

The Simulation System of E-Commerce is an experimental system for teaching and training of E-Commerce based on Browser/Server Structure. The system was designed on the basis of the Constructivism principle, which can popularize E-Commerce knowledge, and improve users' operation ability under E-Commerce environment.The system was divided into four parts, the Method of Enterprise Network Constructing, the Course of Web Pages Making, the Simulation of Marketing Online, and the Simulation of Online Trading. And the simulation of the two basic modes of E-Commerce, B2C and B2B, was realized in the system. In the Method of Enterprise Network Constructing, the information resources relevant to Enterprise Network Constructing were organized. In the Course of Web Pages Making, several computer languages about web pages making, HTML, Javascript and Vbscript, were introduced. And in this part that includes programs which can produce web pages automatically, a concrete instance about web pages making was demonstrated. In the Simulation of Marketing Online, according to Business to Consumer Mode a typical B2C web site was constructed in which the functions, issuing information, marketing products and communicating with consumers through Internet, were simulated. Thus a Studying Scene was set up under whichstudents can understand Business to Consumer Mode deeply. In theiSimulation of Online Trading, several important roles which are indispensable in the international commerce flow were simulated. According to Business to Business Mode, each role performs its own duty. And all roles form an international commerce circulation together. This part can be regarded as the simulation of Business to Business Mode.B/S structure was adopted in the system, and IIS and SQL Server were used as its software environment. Several advanced technologies, such as ASP, DCOM, etc, were used in the realization of this system. And the rational simulation of consumers' behaviour and a fair judgement module in servers were especially designed and developed.
