Web Servers The main functions of a web server are
receiving requests from the clients, forwarding the received requests to the appropriate applications if necessary, and send back the results to the client.
Apache HTTP Server MS IIS MS Commerce Server IBM @server Jakarta Tomcat
DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Data oriented B2B applications heavily
depend on access to databases. Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Application Programming Interfaces
(APIs) Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Adaptable Database (Adabas) Object Linking and Embedding
Database (OLE DB)
E-Commerce Interpretability Standards
B2B interoperability standards involve description of message formats exchanged, relationships to transport protocols, and other features, such as security.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA) Distributed Component Object Model
(DCOM)
E-COMMERCE INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS
Remote Method Invocation (RMI) Component Object Model (COM+) Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP) ebXML (electronic business XML) RosettaNet
STATE OF ACADEMIA Certificate programs There has not been a unique agreement,
nor model. Predominantly management-oriented
programs Predominantly technology-oriented
programs Predominantly ethics and legal issues

The Legally Oriented Programs The legally oriented programs are
almost a rarity, and are seldom offered as stand-alone programs.
