SYSTEM FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL E-COMMERCE AUCTIONS

摘要

A computerized system for multi-dimensional auctions is provided to generate offers from sellers based upon buyer defined parameters and preferences. The system includes a request generator (401) for generating a buyer's request including a scoring function based upon a buyer's preferences (400). The system also includes an offering generator (403) that generates a set of offerings based upon data stored in an offering database (404) populated with seller's information (405). The system further includes an auction engine (409) that receives the set of offerings and the buyer's request with the scoring function, and thereafter generates a list of offers.
