of software performance engineering [4] is to achieve response time, throughput, and resource utilization levels
that meet specified performance objectives. Software performance is dependent on the characteristics of the
computing environment. Computing environment characteristics that must be considered during software
architecture definition include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.Execution time
2.Memory utilization
a.Primary memory (random-access memory, RAM) consumption
b.Virtual memory (secondary storage) consumption
3.Swap time (virtual memory management read and write latency)
4.Data storage latency (the time it takes to access a particular location in storage)
5.Data storage throughput (the rate at which information can be read from or written to the storage)
6.Interrupt latency (the time between the generation of an interrupt by a device and the servicing of the device)
“Performance” [5] has many aspects – execution speed, code size, data size, and memory footprint at
run-time, or time and space consumed by the edit/compile/link process. Performance-Critical Components
encompass various aspects of system design, including algorithms, I/O operations, concurrency, caching,
memory management, hardware utilization, network communication, and scalability. Optimizing these
components is essential for achieving high performance, responsiveness, and scalability in software systems.
Sharma et al [6] showed that Java was faster in their study, but when processing the data and when
under heavy load, C++ performed better. The main difference was when loading the files. The way that Java
loads the data from a file is very different from C++, even though both applications read the files character by
character. The author showed the strengths and weaknesses of C++ and Java in three areas that are used often in
programming; loading, sorting and saving data.

wide range in terms of scalability[8].

Sample Project as an Example[9]:

The scope of the project will be limited to some functions of the e-commerce website. It will display
products, and customers can select catalogues and select products and can remove products from their cart
specifying the quantity of each item. Selected items will be collected in a cart. At checkout, the item on the
card will be presented as an order. Customers can pay for the items in the cart to complete an order. This
project has a great future scope. The project also provides security with the use of login ID and passwords, so
that no unauthorized users can access your account. The only authorized person who has the appropriate
access authority can access the software.

Ai In E-Commerce:
The main aim of companies in today’s e-commerce world is to influence customer behaviour in favour
of certain products and brands. The application of artificial intelligence as an innovative tool in the e-commerce
field may seem a positive step forward. From helping customers find the right products to price matching, you
can apply AI across all your e-commerce business operations and processes. Nguyen [32] study's results suggest
that integrating AI technologies into e-commerce is a highly effective strategy. By leveraging AI, businesses
can greatly enhance customer experience, attract new clientele, and improve their prospects. Additionally, the
study underscores AI's potential to transform a wide range of industries, showcasing the significant role that AI
is poised to play in shaping the future of various sectors. The proposed paper by Amina [33] will shed light on
how AI is being applied in the Ecommerce industry and the impact of AI on Ecommerce portals. It examines
the application of AI in areas such as AI assistants, image research, recommendation systems, and optimized
pricing. This research explores how AI greatly affects and benefits the development of E-commerce. Xio et al
[34] analyse the present situation of the application of AI technology in the field of e-commerce, mainly
studying and discussing in detail from the aspect of assistant of AI, intelligent logistics, recommendation engine
and the optimal pricing application through the research of e-commerce intelligent operation instance - Baidu
take-away, probes into the important impact and great significance on the e-commerce development of artificial

Classification (above) of MIS literature on AI in e-commerce by current research themes by Bawack

As per Startup India AI can benefit e-commerce businesses in the following ways[36]:
Availability of designs:
Most online purchases start with a search. Search results should be relevant and match keywords.
Otherwise, the user will look elsewhere. Text-based searches return lists of items with those keywords in
addition to the subject name and description. This may not be the best way to get decent results. Artificial
intelligence techniques allow users to upload images, and search for the most relevant or accurate search results.
This saves the buyer time as it does not delay the customer for hours.

Recommendation System:
Do you ever feel like e-commerce websites like Amazon keep showing the same products you just
tried? Well, this is the artificial intelligence of e-commerce. AI and machine learning algorithms can predict
behaviors of typical shoppers from its previous research, interests. By anticipating the user’s actions, e-
commerce websites are able to recommend products that the user is most interested in. This improves the user
experience because the user does not have to spending hours searching for the product and also contributing to e
-commerce websites. Therefore, small e-commerce websites should develop their own recommendation
systems.

Systematic sales planning:

Before artificial intelligence, sales channels relied on cold-calling, email marketing, ad placement, etc.
Using historical data and data-driven feedback, businesses can improve sales. Nowadays, people are
increasingly interested in social media platforms for buying inspiration. Deep learning techniques can be used to
identify customer preferences and interests. Artificial intelligence can analyze millions of data and make
connections between buying patterns and consumer data.

Better understanding of the customer:

Understanding your target customers well is very important for the rapid growth of any business. There
are many ways to do this. E-commerce websites allow users to submit online surveys, receive feedback on offer
forms, and request ratings and reviews to better understand customers Artificial intelligence and natural
language processing have also made it possible to understand a consumer’s perception of a brand. NLP is able
to understand the words the user uses about the brand in comments, reviews, complaints and comments. He can
understand all expressions whether positive, negative or neutral. E-commerce businesses can learn more about
customer expectations and respond accordingly.

Improved customer service:

Every business wants to provide the best service to their customers. Chatbots and virtual shopping
assistants enable users to automate customer service. AI-powered chatbots have the ability to interact with
customers, answer their questions and solve problems in real time. Natural processing algorithms in chatbots
can understand the context of a customer’s message. Shopping chatbots can help you find products. Users just
have to enter their requirements and the chatbot will find the most relevant features. Chatbots can also schedule
deliveries, register complaints and handle returns for customers. The service has chatbots available 24/7 and
increased responsiveness.

Cyber ​Security:
Artificial intelligence has also improved the cybersecurity of e-commerce websites. It can prevent or
detect any fraudulent activity. E-commerce has to handle a lot of transactions every day. Cybercriminals and
DOI: 10.9790/0661-2603034455 www.iosrjournals.org 8 | Page
 Code To Cart: Java, C++, Python, And Ai In E-Commerce

hackers can hack into a user’s account to gain unauthenticated access. This can lead to confidential data
disclosure and online fraud. The industry’s reputation is also growing exponentially. To prevent this, artificial
intelligence and machine learning algorithms are being developed to reduce the chances of fraud on the
network.

Forbes mentions ways in which AI is shaking up the e-commerce industry[37]:

According to a Forbes Advisor survey, 64% of business owners believe AI will improve customer
relationships. The same number feel the technology will increase productivity for their organizations. There are
still concerns involving its use, as it’s often seen as a means to replace human workers.
But when it comes to e-commerce, there are far fewer concerns, and AI integration is quickly
becoming commonplace. It only makes sense to test what the technology can do. The following are generally
the best places to start.

Continue improving customer experiences through personalization.

Personalization is something that a growing number of consumers expect, often more than you think.
That can be proven by a McKinsey & Company report that found that 71% of today’s consumers expect
personalized communications from brands. Interestingly, even more (76%) find it frustrating when this does not
happen. Why brands don’t tailor content to the individual is still debatable, but one of the reasons is
personalization at scale. Very hard to find—that is, until AI. Just ask Michael Quoc, founder and CEO of
SimplyCodes, an AI-powered coupon utility offering real-time discounts at more than half a million e-
commerce sites. “AI and machine learning have revolutionized personalization over the past decade, enabling
better predictions and more accurate recommendations,” Quoc says. Recent advancements, particularly large
language models (known as LLMs), have improved the ability to deliver personalization at scale.

Streamline operations with AI-powered insights.

Helping companies identify their target audience is often considered a key benefit of AI. It certainly
has the potential to crunching existing purchases, browsing history, and a host of other data to buy a
personalized shopping experience at scale, however, AI can be just as useful in the background, from cost
reduction to better resource allocation to increase it. It offers everything in awards. Take pricing strategies for
example. AI all but eliminates guesswork, factoring in demand patterns, seasonal fluctuations, competitor
pricing, and so on. In fact, you can even implement more dynamic pricing practices, as AI improves conversion
rates to help predict better discounts throughout the year can.

Arrive at new business models with AI innovation.

AI’s ability to predict outcomes is changing the way businesses deliver value. It’s just not
circumventable. However, the change in values ​will undoubtedly displace many traditional business models and
introduce entirely new channels. Already, you can see this with AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants,
which have changed the engagement models used in the ecommerce industry. AI is changing the way all
industries work—including retailers. Whether it’s delivering mail orders, running supermarkets, or launching e-
commerce sites, marketers have long incorporated the next big innovation into their operations AI is no
different. It’s a matter of where the technology is applied and how it can best benefit customers and the
business.

IV. Opportunities In Artificial Intelligence In The E-Commerce Industry [38] [41]

Personalized Customer Experiences:
AI enables e-commerce businesses to deliver personalized shopping reviews tailored to each patron's
alternatives, conduct, and buy records. By studying sizeable quantities of facts, consisting of surfing styles,
beyond purchases, and demographic data, AI-powered systems can generate personalized product suggestions,
offers, and content, improving patron engagement and satisfaction.

Predictive Analytics and Demand Forecasting:

AI-driven predictive analytics enable e-commerce businesses to forecast client demand, optimize
inventory control, and anticipate market tendencies with greater accuracy. By leveraging gadget-mastering
algorithms, e-trade companies can analyze ancient information, identify styles, and make fact-driven
prediction calls, permitting them to optimize inventory degrees, reduce stockouts, and maximize sales
opportunities.

AI-powered chatbots and digital assistants provide e-trade businesses the possibility to offer efficient
and personalized customer service at scale. By leveraging herbal language processing (NLP) algorithms,
chatbots can engage with users in actual time, deal with inquiries, offer recommendations, and facilitate
transactions, enhancing the overall client experience and lowering help charges.

Fraud Detection and Security:

AI technologies play a critical role in detecting and preventing fraudulent sports in e-commerce
transactions. By studying transaction facts, user behavior, and other relevant elements, AI-powered fraud
detection structures can identify anomalies and suspicious patterns indicative of fraudulent behavior, allowing
e-commerce agencies to mitigate dangers, guard against touchy statistics, and maintain belief with customers.

V. Industry Opinion On AI In E-Commerce

AI is changing the way brands and users interact with one another. The application of this technology
is highly dependent on the nature of the website and the type of business [39]. The Artificial intelligence (AI) is
revolutionizing the e-commerce industry by transforming the way businesses operate, interact with customers,
and make decisions. Many e-commerce giants such as Shopify, have started to apply AI to their websites[40].
Powering AI features such as personalized recommendations, fraud detection, visual search, and more are some
of the few applications of AI. These AI-powered functionalities not only enhance the shopping experience but
the platform remains safe and efficient they ensure this is done. Using AI, companies gain deep insights into
individual preferences, behaviors, and needs, enabling the delivery of tailored content, recommendations and
services. From e-commerce to healthcare, AI-driven personalization is transforming how businesses interact
with their audiences, fostering engagement, loyalty and overall success[41]
The following question was discussed with the industry professionals to find their opinion.
What specific AI applications or techniques have demonstrated the greatest impact or success in
improving various aspects of e-commerce website development, such as performance, security, scalability,
maintenance, and cross-platform compatibility
The opinions are as below:
Anand Mahurkar, Patent Lawyer, AMA Legal Associates[42]
“Integrating AI in e-commerce was the first step in advancing into the new era. But we do not want AI
to predict what we want by analyzing our history, but by analyzing and studying our brain in real-time. We
want AI to predict what we wish and show it to us in real-time. For instance, while driving a person doesn’t
need a song from his past playlist, rather they need a song by their current mood. They can tell the AI their age,
gender, and current emotions and the AI can choose the songs that fit the category the best. AI currently is
doing what we call a predictive analysis, it takes the user’s history for future analysis, for instance, if we search
for a laptop, we get advertisements on laptops on every single page we visit like YouTube and Google Chrome.
The user does not want predictive analysis but it needs current analysis, it wants AI to show what they wish to
currently not what they searched for previously.”
Atul Kumthekar, Design Methodologist [43]
“Companies can use market research tools to monitor competitor prices, offers, and promotions in
real time, so they can stay abreast of the latest market trends. Dynamic pricing strategies enable businesses to
change them with speed price based on competitive data. For example, if a competitor lowers the price of a
popular product, companies themselves can adjust their prices to match or beat that offering. Regularly
comparing products and prices with competitors helps identify potential market opportunities for effective
profitability and pricing strategies.
Using advanced machine learning, companies can greatly enhance their recommendation systems by
analyzing customers’ purchase histories. By analyzing products purchased once, companies can identify
products that are relevant and likely to appeal to customers. For example, if a customer bought a camera
recently, the system can suggest associated accessories such as lenses, tripods, and memory cards, thereby
increasing the chances of another sale. What does it cost it, by analyzing behavioral data such as browsing
history, time spent on a particular product pages Companies can gain deeper insights into consumer
preferences and interests. This data enables them to make informed recommendations and it is for their own
sake. By adding new product information to recommendation engines, companies can suggest new incoming
products that match a customer’s interests. For example, a customer who buys a lot of fitness equipment may be
interested in the latest fitness equipment or clothing. Techniques such as collaborative filtering improve
personalization by recommending products based on the preferences of similarly interested users. Meanwhile,

feature-based filters analyze the descriptions and attributes of products that customers have expressed interest
in and refine the recommendations, thereby recommending similar products.”
Strong assessment of services requiring integration and communication play a key role in enhancing
user experience and providing comprehensive services across a range of services. In the dating sites sector, the
sophisticated algorithms are used to match users based on a myriad of factors including preferences, habits and
session scores Algorithms can determine optimal matches, which satisfy users and their involvement is effective.
Similarly, airline ticket aggregators use complex airline ticket matching techniques to combine airline options
with other travel arrangements such as hotel bookings, car purchases, and other needs. This holistic approach
not only provides customer convenience but also provides a seamless travel planning experience. Portfolio
optimization in finance is another area where complex algorithms are a must. These algorithms analyze market
trends, historical trends, and risk factors to recommend the best investment options, providing maximum
returns when managing risks Using these advanced analytical techniques, companies can deliver highly
personalized and effective services that meet their customers’ needs, ultimately leading to customer satisfaction
and loyalty.”
Vaibhav Katare, Oracle Data Integrator, TCS[44]
“By analyzing how players interact with the game, developers can identify patterns and preferences
that show improvements in game design and increase user engagement. This research allows for the
optimization of level design, including fine-tuning game positioning based on player performance data to create
a more balanced and enjoyable experience Furthermore, personalized recommendations for features in-game
purchases, new games, or updates based on game history and preferences can greatly enhance the overall
gaming experience. Pattern recognition is the cornerstone of AI-driven fraud detection systems, which use
advanced algorithms to analyze large amounts of historical data to identify patterns of fraudulent behavior.
These AI algorithms are trained on extensive data sets, set by past behavior about, making them more likely to
identify Identify and distinguish suspicious activity. By establishing what are the basics of a particular
transaction, such as regular purchases, common payment methods, and exactly when applied to markets, these
systems can effectively detect anomalies that deviate from established norms. The ability to constantly learn and
adapt from new data makes these systems more accurate, making them more effective at spotting subtle patterns
and emerging deceptive tactics. This approach with early action not only helps detect and prevent fraudulent
activities faster but also reduces false positives, thereby facilitating appropriate actions - require the relevant
action to occur.”
Ashwani Rathod, CEO, IndoAI Technologies P Ltd [45]
“The use of AI websites helps in customer support and services, like a chatbox, in which we can ask
personalized questions. The use of Chatbots that support multiple languages ​ensures that non-native speakers
get the same level of service, thus expanding the customer base. These chatbots can help customers in the
product selection process by asking questions about their wants and needs and then recommending the right
products. In addition, after-sales support through Chatbot provides immediate assistance with common issues,
problem-solving, and questions in the customer's preferred language, greatly increasing customer satisfaction
leveraging AI integration. These chatbots learn from continuous interactions so that they are able to improve
responses, deliver accurate and helpful information for the long term.
Integrating AI in e-commerce websites helps in inventory management, it can also help with
personalized shopping. It can assist with trending items that the customer will like by assessing their order
history and past searches. AI is widely used in image recognition and image-searching software. For example,
Google Lens. We take a photo of an object we have to search or buy, and then an AI analyzes the object and
searches for similar things that matches the image you have uploaded. AI-powered image recognition
technology has revolutionized image search by enabling advanced capabilities such as object recognition,
visual recognition, information extraction Users can identify similar images what is visually visible across the
web and uploaded by visual image search engines powered by deep learning algorithms can, by which textual
description or Even if tags are not required, AI algorithms can search and sets specific objects in drawings,
facilitating tasks such as searching for objects. Additionally, AI models can generate annotation titles for
images, enabling users to search for images with text queries and find appropriate results based on generated
titles.Together these AI-driven features provide the accuracy, efficiency and usability of image search
algorithms is high, it can search important images
In the rapidly growing e-commerce landscape, online retailers are increasingly using AI to enhance
their ability to detect fraud. This technology scrutinizes purchases, payment methods and delivery addresses to
identify anomalies that could indicate fraudulent activity. Testing these elements enables AI to identify
anomalies and behaviors suspicions that can be overlooked by human analysts, such as new account orders of
unusually large sizes or fraudulent orders from inconsistencies billing and shipping addresses. But AI also
plays an important role in ensuring the authenticity of online platforms by detecting false premises and
