Abstract

Service oriented architectures have been adopted by many organizations in order to increase business automation, integrate enterprise systems, and reach more business partners and customers. Among the business processes that can greatly harness the advantages of web services are online auctions. This paper proposes a new approach for modeling online auctions and provides guidelines on how to use web service orchestration to model them. Our research involves the design of an auction server and its clients for manual as well as automated agent-based bidding. We propose a framework for a server that is generic enough to host various types of auctions and extensible enough for future component additions. We report on an implementation of our framework based on the BPEL web service orchestration language.
