PAPER ONE

A Pattern-Oriented Methodology for Engineering High-Quality E-Commerce Applications

Pankaj Kamthan, Concordia University, Canada

This article proposes, develops, and explores a methodology for engineering electronic commerce applications (ECA) aiming for "high-quality." In doing so, the development and maintenance of ECA is undertaken from the perspective of Web engineering. The author identifies the relevant quality attributes and corresponding stakeholder types for the ECA and analyzes the role of a flexible development process and challenges in making optimal use of patterns. The activities of a systematic selection and application of patterns to the macro- and micro-architecture design of business-to-consumer (B2C) ECA are given. This article discusses the scope and limitations of the proposed methodology and outlines possible directions for its evolution.

PAPER TWO

A Behavioral Beliefs Model of Trustworthiness in Consumer-Oriented E-Commerce

Craig Van Slyke, Saint Louis University, USA France Bélanger, Virginia Tech, USA Christie L. Comunale, Long Island University, USA

In this article, the authors propose and test a theoretically-derived model of trustworthiness of Web merchants. Trustworthiness is influenced by behavioral, competence, and attitudinal beliefs. Trustworthiness beliefs impact intentions to purchase from Web merchants. For e-commerce to grow, customers must trust organizations with which they interact.

PAPER THREE

A Study on Taxpayers' Willingness to Use Self-Service Technology-Based Online Government Services

Ching-Wen Chen, National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, Taiwan Echo Huang, National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, Taiwan

Technology is forming a society of do-it-yourselfers, in which customers can perform services on their own without the help of live tellers. However, customers with insufficient knowledge of technology may not be ready for self-service technologies (SSTs). Identifying users' attitudes toward using online service via SSTs is a critical issue for providers, particularly for government agencies. This article presents a theoretical model to examine and explain taxpayers' willingness to adopt the personal income tax-filing system, which is a typical enhanced self-service information system (SSIS).

This article discusses the issues identified as organizational barriers to e-banking by examining the e-banking implementation strategies of two well established UK banks. The purpose of the study is to develop a deeper understanding of the organizational issues that have arisen while implementing e-banking strategies. This research employs a case study research strategy. The organizational barriers that emerged from the study are contrasted against those identified in literature. The measures and strategies adopted by the two banks to mitigate the relevant issues are also discussed.
