چکیده
In this article we describe our experiences with designing online auction software. We present a clientserver software model for conducting standard online English auctions. The model is based on an existing auction server developed at James Cook University called the "Research Auction Server" (RAS). RAS is used to perform both simulated and real auctions to gather data on the performance of key areas of auction research. RAS has been used to conduct research in auction security, fraudulent bidding behaviour, bidding agent design and market clearing algorithms. RAS is available online at http://auction.maths.jcu.edu.au.

However, using an electronic medium for conducting auctions has fundamental differences from traditional English-style auctions. One difference is the availability of software agents that can facilitate many aspects of online-auction participation. The addition ...
متن کاملSpecifying Rules for Electronic Auctions
We examine the design space of auction mechanisms and identify three core activities that structure this space. Formal parameters qualifying the performance core activities enables precise specification of auction rules. This specification constitutes an auction description language that can be employed in the implementation of configurable marketplaces. The specification also provides a framew...
