On the Interaction Between Business Models and Software Architecture in Electronic Commerce

To design a business model for electronic commerce it is necessary to develop an architecture of the software system that will support this model. Such an architecture shows at an early stage to what extent the business model can be supported and implemented by a software system. If constraints of the business model cannot be supported by a software system, the model itself can be changed. We investigate this interaction between business model and architecture by carrying out a case study in the area of electronic commerce: the design and analysis of a software architecture for a directory service.
