The rapidly growing field of Electronic Business on the Internet (EBI) includes a number of subfields, such as electronic commerce, electronic multimedia, workflow technologies, and collaboration technologies. The term electronic business implies a synergistic interaction between a number of different fields with the purpose of maximizing not only the short term profit, but the long term profit as well. If you are entering the e-business arena, this book should prove a useful starting point. As well as covering all the basics, you can also read about technology details that are the core of every modern e-Business infrastructure (like Digital Signatures and Certificates, SSL, Ad Hoc Networks and the Wireless Internet, Denial of Service attacks and so forth). "Mastering E-Business Infrastucture", an edited volume, is related to the six best tutorials of the SSGRR (International Conference on Advances in Infrastructure for E-Business, E-Education, E-Science, and E-Medicine on the Internet, organized by Telecom Italia Learning Services).
