Description

Online arbitration is different from traditional arbitration. The common thought that online arbitration is just the combination of online mechanisms and traditional arbitration is not true.

Moreover, some component elements may not be shared at all, belonging uniquely to just one form of arbitration. A study of the component elements of both forms is therefore necessary to provide a definition of online arbitration.
