Abstract

El reciente desarrollo de la tecnología Near Field Communication (NFC) ha permitido la aparición de servicios de pago a través de teléfonos celulares. Además, esta innovación tecnológica ha iniciado una evolución continua relativa a las operaciones de pago. Las empresas y los investigadores proyectan que la función predominante de las tarjetas de crédito serán progresivamente sustituidos por dispositivos móviles. En este trabajo se describe en detalle NFC y se realiza un análisis de red basado en gráficos para determinar los participantesy las industrias involucradas en la red, así como las relaciones, incluyendo los conflictos, cooperaciones o alianzas entre los actores.

Abstract:

The recent development of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology has enabled the emergence of payment services using mobile phones. Furthermore, this technological innovation initiated an ongoing evolution concerning payment transactions. Companies and researchers project that the prevalent function of credit cards will be progressively substituted by mobile devices. In this paper NFC is described in detail and a graphed based network analysis is performed to determine players and industries involved in the network as well as the relations, including conflicts, cooperation, or alliances between these actors.
