Research on Grid-Service Based Virtual Products Experience Environment Supporting Architecture in E-commerce Applications

Internet-based virtual product experience enables online electronic commerce (e-commerce) websites to present and promote their products more efficiently and is essential to the success of e-commerce especially for those providing complex products websites. Despite the advantages of virtual product experience, integrating and constructing multidisciplinary virtual product model data for e-commerce websites and improving interactivity and validity of virtual product design and presentation in web environment are the key technical problems in virtual complex products supporting system. After long time research on Grid services and multi-agent systems, a Grid-service based virtual product experience supporting system was proposed, system architecture, communication style and system workflow were illustrated. Further more it discussed virtual complex product design and development process, decision arithmetic and gave the structure of intelligent agent group for communities or enterprises involved in virtual complex product design, realized a service-oriented multi-field collaborative virtual product experience supporting platform for e-commerce websites. Further researches of the system and in cloud computing environment operation were prospected.
