Development and evaluation of dynamic virtual object catalogs
One of the most interesting commercial opportunities for Internet business is the ability to deploy catalogs on the Web. Existing electronic catalogs are able to provide comprehensive information, efficient data update, and economical development; however, the huge data volume due to high variety and fast turnover of customized products often causes their construction and maintenance to be unrealistic. This paper presents a Web-based dynamic virtual object catalog of customized products for Internet commerce and focuses on the comparison of system performance for various catalogs in different perspectives. The results show that the proposed catalog has tremendous advantages in development time, required cost, and storage space over existing catalogs under most conditions.
