Online auction technologies are revolutionizing the way we conduct business online. However, the proliferation of auction related research and the development of new auction security techniques are often limited by the uncooperative behaviour of the major online auctioneers. Due to the limited availability of quality auction data and literature on online auction software design, we have created our own online auction server to facilitate auction research. This paper describes our experiences with designing online auction software. We present a basic online model upon which more sophisticated auction scenarios can be crafted. We address website design, preliminary security, the database schema, transaction and timing issues, and also show how software bidding agents can interact with the model. Our model is grounded in object oriented techniques and is open source so that other researchers can expand upon our approach.

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

This paper presents an electronic auction system as a case study of a distributed computing application using the Java language and the Voyager distributed programming platform. It stresses the importance of state-of-the-art WWW development tools that address the run-to-the-market need of electronic commerce applications. Conceptual simplicity and efficient design and implementation are the major advantages from the adoption of a platform where object mobility and persistence are transparently available.

To what extent do dealers value the benefits of the physical auction environment, such as the ability to personally inspect items, get a sense for the "buzz" of the market, and network with other dealers and consignors? Conversely, to what extent do they value the benefits of the electronic auction environment, such as greater items selection and increased convenience? This research has developed a consultancy solution that addressed the problems arising from physical or e-auction. The research presented the results of a study designed to shed light on such questions to the dealers about their preferences for physical vs. electronic auction environments. The developed system is based on findings on survey responses received from many dealers. In some cases results suggest that dealers prefer the physical auction to electronic auctions based on some reasons. Those reasons that made dealers prefer physical auction have been considered in this electronic systems. The system is designed to detect shill bidding in online and provide a friendly and responsive customer support system. The expert system tool was used in order to achieve our desired motives.The developed system is interactive in nature and user friendly.
