A system for selecting one of a plurality of distributed processing entities that each are arranged to process a data set of user-specified criteria to determine a multi-parameter assessment of that data set is described. The system comprises: receiving means arranged to receive the data set via the Internet from an intermediary acting on behalf of the user; an estimation engine for executing a plurality of estimation algorithms, each algorithm being provided by one of the plurality of processing entities and being arranged to generate an approximation of the corresponding multi-parameter assessment by consideration of a processing-entity selected subset of the data set of user-specified criteria; and a selecting module for selecting of one of the processing entities, the selecting means being arranged to consider the generated approximations and select the processing entity whose approximation maximises one or more performance criteria for the intermediary. |
