Abstract

This paper presents the design of an Architecture for Electronic Brokerage Systems (AEBS). This architecture is based on the Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) model. It specifies a brokerage system from five RM-ODP viewpoints. AEBS include a generic model of electronic brokerage. It defines protocols and interfaces between actors. It enables communication between actors via an advanced object-oriented interface (defined in terms of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) technology) as well as using traditional trading protocols. These interfaces allow a broker to operate in both the rapidly developing object-oriented CORBA environment and the electronic markets based on customary protocols. CORBA was also used for the design of the internal object model and internal interfaces of a brokerage system. This paper focuses primarily on the specification of the AEBS architecture from the enterprise and computational viewpoints of the RM-ODP model.
