CONTENT
• Project goals• 3rd generation auctioning• System architecture• Auction server• Database• Client applications• Experience• Demonstration• Conclusion• Outlook
3Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
PROJECT GOALS
• Provide online auctions over a wireless LAN
• Allow users to also participate with notebook and desktop PCs connected to the Internet
• Provide different auction algorithms • Provide an administrator interface• Allow multiple auctions at the same
time
4Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
3rd GENERATION AUCTIONING
• Like traditional auctions– Live– Fast– Interactive– Entertaining
• Like online auctions– Worldwide– Easy to participate
5Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE - Local
Access point
Auction server
Administration clientUser clients
• Usually in one auctioning room
• One human auctioneer
• Only the auctioneer can create auctions!
6Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE - Internet
Internet
UMTS WLAN LAN
Wireless Devices Stationary PCs
Auction Server
Dialup
• Open scenario worldwide!
• Non-guided, the auction server acts self-sufficient
• Everybody can create his own auctions
7Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE – UML
8Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Features
• Based on J2SE– Platform independent
• Intelligent auction algorithms– Moderation – Entertainment
• Extensible– Dynamically loadable algorithms– Open architecture
9Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
10Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Basic class that contains and connects other components
- Manages dynamic loading of algorithms
11Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Central place to store data:
- Users- Auctions- Categories- Errors
12Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Stores system errors and warnings in the DataStore
13Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Direct access to control the server via console:
- stop the server - load/unload algorithms
14Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Waits for connect requests on a TCP/IP port
- New connections are established
15Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Logical representation of a client connection
- Based on a TCP/IP client socket- Allows communication in both
directions- Permanently listens for incoming
messages, initiates appropriate action for each request
16Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Auctioneer role (logic processing)
- Autonomous termination- Broad variety of auction types- English and Dutch auction
algorithms included- Custom algorithms can be
added easily at runtime
17Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Starts auctions automatically at specified time
- Creates algorithm instances to allow users to enter and bid
18Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
AUCTION SERVER - Architecture
- Different time / time zones on clients and server
- Users should neither wait unnecessarily long nor miss an auction
- Auctions happen in real-time- Unstable connections in
wireless environment- Detect connection loss and
ensure synchronous times

DATABASE – Relation diagram
20Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
DATABASE – Java interconnection
• JDBC class to connect to the mySql database management system
• The auction server and the database are interconnected by TCP and can be located in different places
• Implementation of methods to – Insert new tuples into relations– Select tuples with different criteria– Delete tuples from relations
21Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
CLIENT APPLICATIONS - Requirements
• Executable on Compaq iPAQ under Windows CE as well as on regular desktop or notebook PC
• Graphical User Interface based on AWT (due to iPAQ VM)
• Support two-way communication according to w3auction protocol
• Provide auction user and server admin functionality
22Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
CLIENT APPLICATIONS - Architecture
ClientCommunicator ClientGUI
UserServer
23Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
ONE OR TWO APPLICATIONS ?
Core functionalityUser functionality• Create auctions• Browse auctions• Participate(bid)• Maintain user
account
• Communication• Framework
Admin functionality
• Maintain user accounts
• Control current connections
• View error log• Supervise
ongoing auctions• Add and delete
categories
24Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
OUR CHOICE : TWO SEPARATE APPLICATIONS
• Clear structure• Administrator is never a user, always overhead• Easy implementation through
concept of inheritance
25Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
DEMONSTRATION
26Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
EXPERIENCE - Project
• Using new technologies:– iPAQ– Wireless LAN– OO design and programming– UML and Rational Rose
• A complete project:– Analysis – Implementation– Database management– Test– Documentation
27Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
EXPERIENCE – Tele-cooperation
• Language difficulties and distance• Weekly videoconference between Nice
and Mannheim• Very long discussions about the
functionality in the beginning• Use of TWIKI website to exchange
documents and CVS for version control
28Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
CONCLUSION
• w3auction system operational• User client and admin client easy
to use• Object oriented design and
implementation proved to be very powerful
29Teleseminar Nice – Mannheim w3auction
OUTLOOK
• Security• Integrate settlement• Usability study to improve the
user interface• Screen layout should be adapted
to notebook and desktop PC
