CAWICOMS: Customer-Adaptive Web Interface for the Configuration of Products and Services with Multiple Suppliers
Description: CAWICOMS aims at the next generation of electronic commerce (EC) solutions for customizable products and services. CAWICOMS is initiated by the need of key players of the European telecommunications industry to adopt web-based selling systems for their customizable products/services. Current technology is not adequate and must be improved in two ways: 1. Providing the product that yields the maximum customer satisfaction out of numerous possible product configurations is a key factor for economic success. The goal is to automate over the web the skills of experienced sales representatives who are able to adapt to the users needs and capabilities. 2. As suppliers themselves must use customizable products and services of their sub-supplier, the collaboration of distributed configurators is necessary. CAWICOMS will provide solutions for realizing next generation cooperative configurators on the basis of adaptable, personalized user-interaction.
Keywords: Product and Service Configuration, Distributed Reasoning, Knowledge Acquisition and Maintenance, Personalisation
