Research Projects
|
1. Research on content persistence in
virtual world construction. (2018-2020),
funded by the Research Committee of University of Macau.
This project is to research on how to achieve content persistence
during constructing a virtual world by proposing a content level
persistence maintenance model. In this project, some resource
persistence theories will be explored to guide the persistence
maintenance. |
|
2. Semantically integrating information
resources of disconnected virtual worlds to build an open virtual
marketplace. (2015-2018),
funded by the Research Committee of University of Macau.
This project is to research on semantically integrating information
resources of disconnected virtual worlds, dying websites, and
information individuals into a peer-to-peer (P2P) computing network,
called P2PNet on which an open virtual marketplace is further built
to enable various business activities. |
|
3. Cross-context e-business activity
reasoning between unknown business partners (2012-2014),
funded by the Research Committee of University of Macau.
This project is to research on the cross-context issues of activity
reasoning between the unknown business partners in electronic
business systems and among electronic marketplaces. It requires the
reasoning to be semantically sound. |
|
4. Integrating Virtual Worlds for Fair
Virtual Money Exchange (2011-2014),
funded by the Research Committee of University of Macau.
This project is to integrate the existing technically
non-interoperable virtual worlds (such as Facebook, HI5, LinkedIn,
MySpace, Twitter, Yahoo! and iGoogle). Thus, the non-interoperable
virtual worlds could be integrated for enabling semantic business
communications. |
|
5. Collaborative Construction of
Integrated Electronic Marketplaces (EMpNet-1) (2009-2011),
funded by the Research Committee of University of Macau.
This project aims to provide a theoretical foundation of how to
build an e-marketplace based on the underlying ConexNet. It tries to
answer what functionalities an e-marketplace should support and how
these functions can be provided. |
|
6 Semantic Integration of
Heterogeneous E-Commerce Data
(2006-2008), funded by the Research Committee of University of
Macau.
This project aims to provide a theoretical foundation of how
heterogeneous e-commerce data can be semantically integrated using
collaboration concept and how heterogeneous vocabularies, documents
and processes can co-exist in a same framework, thus having a
coherent architecture. |
|
7. Collaborative
Concept Exchange Network (ConexNet) - [ko'neks].
This project aims to integrate the previous projects of
CONEX
(Collaborative Concept Exchange), CODEX (Collaborative Document
Exchange), COPEX (Collaborative Process Exchange) together.
It focuses on how heterogeneous concepts including vocabularies,
documents, processes and services can be semantically interoperable
with each other in a generalized concept networking platform. It
aims to provide a semantic communication foundation for its above
electronic marketplace and virtual marketplace. It is relevant to
existing studies of semantic net, standardization, ontology, semiotics, artificial
intelligence, collaboration theory, etc. The first step of ConexNet
will focus on the development of a new type of semantic net, which
can provide the ability of semantic query of semantically consistent
English and Chinese words for business vocabulary localization. The
second step will focus on the design of various e-marketplace
functionalities based on this new type of semantic net. |

8 Internet Phenomena
and History Analysis Related-to E-commerce (iPHARE)
This project aims to investigate on the phenomena
and historical events happened around our daily e-commerce life. Through
these analysis, we can understand the past, present and future of
e-commerce application design principles and trends, thus better guiding
our better design and implementation of e-commerce applications.
Particularly, representative cases will be investigated and analyzed. It
is relevant to history study and phenomenon analysis.

9. Foundations of electronic Market Place (FoeMP)
- [foum p]
This project aims to investigate on what should be our critical
theories behind our designing e-marketplaces, considering a broad
spectrum of interdisciplinary theories like management, marketing,
finance, accounting, economics, international trade, sociology,
ethics, laws, etc. It is relevant to the study of various technology
development theories. |
|
10 Common money (Coney)
- ['koni] in a virtual world or metaverse
This project aims to
investigate whether it is possible to design a common electronic money
mechanism, which not only permits the co-existing of various types of
electronic monies differently designed in existing e-marketplaces but
also allows them to work together to support the formation of an
integrated e-marketplace. it is relevant to the studies of e-payment
systems, monetary systems, exchange rate systems, economics and international trade. |
|
11. Virtual Marketplace (VMp) within a virtual world or
metaverse
Virtual worlds and Metaverses are a fascinating research
area. This project aims to understand what virtual world or metaverse is
and how virtual inhabitants construct their societies as virtual
worlds or Metaverses. Particularly, this project focuses on the
construction of virtual marketplace within a virtual world or a
metaverse, which is built on the virtual world
regimes set by its creators and the participated virtual inhabitants. |
Research Group
Our research group mainly aims to provide the next-generation
marketplace platforms that can enable both real and virtual people of a
virtual world or metaverse to do
business. This includes the studies of what will be the theoretical
foundations of next-generation electronic and virtual marketplaces, what
they should support, and how the newly discovered marketplace functions
should be supported.
