Mall 2000

A vision for a virtual marketplace for businessmen.

In the Mall 2000 project we develop an electronic commerce environment. That is a system, which allows business partners to handle all steps towards (e.g.) a contract signing. The user interface is based on HotDoc and Simple/HotSimple. Recent, ongoing work may be found here, HOTAgent by Ludger Martin, and here HOTFlow by Daniela Handl
