However, there are several procedures required, before you actually find what you were looking for. These procedures are necessary to access Internet services you need, but it is somewhat inconvenient to users. The virtual portal system suggested in this paper is designed to solve such inconvenience. The virtual portal system described in this paper perceives personal computers as web service providing sites, so that it enables users to define customized services by themselves. Also, it makes an exclusive browser as a multiple browser window and provides features to navigate web sites.

Portal sites have been providing diverse services to attract new users and retain existing customers. Recently, they also added new services and increased quality of the services they provide to secure more customers. It is, however, not clear how people actually react to such activities. We wanted to understand the mechanism associated with users' continued usage intention of current Portal site. We assumed search, e-mail, information, community, e-commerce services as key services provided by most Portal sites and considered valuable by many customers. The quality of these services may directly affect users' continued usage intention. However, we can also assume that attractive alternatives and switching cost may have some influence on users' continued usage intention. Therefore, in this study, key variables pertaining to the quality of key services provided by Portal sites, attractive alternatives, and switching cost were examined to explain the dynamics of users' continued usage intention. An empirical study based on 891 survey responses showed the importance of the quality of key services for users' continued usage intention. Switching cost also demonstrated strong association with users' continued usage intention. However, attractive alternatives did not show a significant association with users' continued usage intention. We also found that the variable attractive alternatives moderated the relationship between the quality of search service and users' continued usage intention and the relationship between the quality of information service and users' continued usage intention. On the other hand, the variable switching cost showed a moderating effect on the relationship between the quality of e-mail service and users' continued usage intention and the relationship between the quality of community service and users' continued usage intention. This study implies that Portal sites need to make efforts not only to improve the quality of key services but also to consider attractiveness of other Portal sites' services and switching cost to secure more customers.

본 연구에서는 향후 IPv6로의 주소 체계 전환, 인터넷 서비스의 기술 발전, 개인 정보 보호 추세 등을 감안할 때, 기존 서버 중심의 포털 서비스들이 개인용 포털(personal portal) 중심의 인터넷 서비스로 진화해 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이러한 추세 속에서 활용도가 높은 인터넷 서비스 중의 하나인 인터넷 디스크 서비스의 비중은 점점 더 중요해 질 것이다. 본 연구에서는 향후 IPv6에서 더욱 필요성이 증가하는 동적 DNS 시스템을 기반으로 개인용 포털을 지향하는 인터넷 디스크 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 대해 연구한 것이다.

This paper examines the major determinants affecting the user satisfaction on e-Trade portal sites in small and medium-sized exporters. The development of our research model is based on the empirical studies on the service quality of information system, web sites or Internet shopping mall, and on the factors influencing the user satisfaction. With the help of a regression analysis and factor analysis, five hypotheses are derived and tested. The results from regression analysis suggest that the user satisfaction of e-Trade portal sites is affected by information characteristics and ease of use of e-Trade portal sites. In addition, the user satisfaction of e-Trade portal sites is enhanced by support for international trade. Our findings will be useful, especially for those who are planning to build user-oriented e-Trade portal sites.
