Abstract
To support necessary requirements and flexibility to the buyers of different goods; advanced and efficient internet-based Electronic Commerce services must be designed and developed. In addition to the traditional user requirements, the developed system must properly address efficiency issues, among which the data catalogues, information classification, short response time for on-line requests, high system performance, and high data transfer rates must be considered. The MegaStore system described in this paper, aims at the design and set-up of the necessary database structure and platform architecture for advanced e-commerce applications. The proposed system architecture best suits the e-commerce application, by separating the public information from the private information and supporting the large data sets that need to be securely kept at predefined Internet sites. The design of the innovative architecture and technology for the distributed MegaStore application although applied to music CD industry, is general enough to be applicable to other complex application environments, especially to e-commerce applications.
