This is on one hand, however, the paper aimed, on the other, to know whether there is a correlation that is statistically significant between such obstacles as to affect the implementation of e-commerce and the level of utilization of the same by industrial and commercial companies in Libya.Findings have shown, on the whole, that there is a high positive correlation of statistical significance at (α = 0.01) and (α =0.05) levels between the obstacles which affect commerce and the level of e-commerce utilization, this is pursuant to the points of view of the managers of the companies in question.The paper has reached a number of findings which have shown the fact that there are many obstacles which may impede the growth of commerce in Libya. This is in addition to other significant findings the paper has reached. However, the paper has suggested a number of recommendations to help develop e-commerce in Libya.This paper also contributes substantially to enrich the applied research studies on commerce and its applied activities and provides in details the related debate on the similarities and proposals for future studies.
E-commerce is defined as the use of electronic communication and digital information processing in business transactions. It involves the creation, movement, and interaction of information sources between producers, consumers, and sellers over global networks. The PEST factors that affect online commerce are political, economic, social, and technological. Political factors include government support for technology and regulations. Economic factors include economic growth, income levels, and infrastructure costs. Social factors involve literacy rates, internet users, and adoption of technologies. Technological factors are the status of telecom infrastructure, access to new technologies, and bandwidth availability.
This document provides an overview of e-commerce and e-business. It defines e-commerce as conducting financial transactions electronically, especially over the internet, and involves online marketing, ordering, payment, and delivery. E-business is defined more broadly as using internet technologies to transform key business processes beyond just buying and selling, to also include customer service, collaboration, and back-end systems. The key difference is that e-commerce focuses on macro-level trade between countries, while e-business focuses on micro-level processes within a company. The document also outlines some of the technological, political, social, and economic drivers that influence the development of e-commerce and e-business in different countries.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Foundation of e commerce- Basic Introduction
1. Foundation of e-commerce-basic introduction
summary
Electronic commerce( e- commerce) is a relatively new area of business management and information technology and
is continually changing with the technological advancement. E-commerce has four driving factors- social,
technological, economic, and political and impact upon a wide range of different ares.
“Electronic Commerce (EC) is where business transactions take place via telecommunications networks, especially the
Internet” (Turban et al., 1999).
Originating from the electronic transmission of messages during the Berlin airlift in 1948, the next stage in the
development of e- commerce was electronic data interchange (EDI). In the 1960s, the first attempt at common
electronic data formats was made by cooperation between industry groups. However, the formats were only used for
purchasing, transport and financial data and were mainly used in intra- industry transactions. It was not until the late
1970s that national standards for electronic data exchange (EDI) began to work, which developed well into the early
1990s.

3. According to Vladimir Zwass, editor- in- chief of the International Journal of
Electronic Commerce, ‘electronic commerce is sharing business information,
maintaining business relationships and conducting business transactions by
means of telecommunications networks’.
Originating from the electronic transmission of messages during the Berlin airlift
in 1948, the next stage in the development of e- commerce was electronic data
interchange (EDI). In the 1960s, the first attempt at common electronic data
formats was made by cooperation between industry groups. However, the
formats were only used for purchasing, transport and financial data and were
mainly used in intra- industry transactions. It was not until the late 1970s that
national standards for electronic data exchange (EDI) began to work, which
developed well into the early 1990s.
4. With the advent of Internet, the term e- commerce has gained a broader concept that includes:
• Electronic trade in physical goods and intangibles such as information.
• All the steps involved in trade, such as on- line marketing, payment ordering and delivery support.
• Electronic services, such as after- sales support or legal advice online.
• Electronic cooperation support for companies such as collaborative online design and engineering or virtual
business consulting teams.
• Key Drivers of e-commerce:
These key drivers can be measured against a number of criteria that can highlight the progress of e- commerce in
each of the countries concerned.
Technological factors– The extent of advancement of telecommunications infrastructure that provides business and
consumers with access to new technology.
Social factors– Incorporate the level and progress of IT education and training that will enable potential buyers and
employees to understand and utilize the new technology.
5. Economic factors– Include and contribute to factors, the nation’s general wealth and commercial health.
Political factors– Include the role of the government in the development of government legislation, initiatives and funding to support the use
and development of e- commerce and IT.
Impact of Electronic Commerce:
E-commerce impacts on many business areas and business management studies disciplines.
Marketing– Online publicity issues, marketing strategies, consumer behaviour and cultures. Direct marketing is one of the areas in which it has
an impact.
Computer sciences– development of different network and computer technologies and languages to support e- commerce and e- business,
e.g. connecting front and back office legacy systems to web- based technology.
Finance and accounting– online banking; transaction cost issues; accounting and auditing implications where' immaterial' assets and human
capital need to be tangibly assessed in an increasingly knowledge- based economy.
Economics– the impact on local and global economies of e- commerce; understanding the concepts of a digital and knowledge- based
economy and how it fits into economic theory.

finance and other functional systems, business partners and customers.
