Project Description

An Auction Site consists of a group of auctions and reverse-auctions. An auction is conducted by an auctioneer, which is to be automated. A user should be able to get a list of auctions and connect to a specific auction (or auctioneer). An auction follows the traditional definition: an auction is a client (seller) selling one item to a dynamic group of bidders mediated by an auctioneer. A reverse-auction is a client (buyer) buying something, usually a contract for delivery of goods, from a dynamic group of bidders mediated by an auctioneer. In an auction, the client sets the suggested initial price and the starting date and time, which is available from the auction site. In a reverse-auction, the client sets the highest price she will pay, and a date and time for the reverse-auction.
