DEBIZ: A Decentralized Lookup Service for E-commerce

Existing e-commerce specifications such as eb XML and UDDI manage resource by logical centralized approach, which lead to single point failure and performance bottleneck. As a new computing model, peer-to-peer addresses existing e-commerce resource management problems in a natural way. This paper presents DEBIZ, a decentralized service for resource management in e-commerce. In DEBIZ, resource is managed in peer-to-peer approach, and meta-data of the resource and query message is presented in XML document. Experimental results show that DEBIZ has lower space overhead, well-balanced load, and good robustness.
