Realtime Commercial Bidding System
Blackbit Trading, Inc.
Mason, Michigan

Introduction

Team 6 has been contracted to design a distributed realtime online brokering system. The system is to allow both standard and reverse auctions.  The set of auctions, reverse auctions and the bidders must be assumed to be running concurrently on separate platforms connected by some sort of network.

Background

An Auction Site consists of a group of auctions and reverse auctions.  An auction is conducted by an auctioneer, which is to be automated.  Users should be able to get a list of auctions and connect to a specific auction (or auctioneer).  In an auction, the client sets the suggested initial price and the starting date and time.  In a reverse auction, the client sets the highest price she will pay and a date and time for the reverse auction.
