A system for managing a capacity extreme at a first entity in a supply chain includes a planning application (36) that receives status data for at least the first entity (12) reflecting a capacity extreme (excess or insufficient inventory) at the first entity and generates a plan (34) according to the status data. A manager application (44) receives the plan (34) and, according to the plan (34), automatically initiates at least one service in an attempt to resolve at least a portion of the capacity extreme through interaction with one or more other entities (i.e., sells off someinventory, or buys more). The manager application (34) selects the service from among a plurality of available services based on a monetary value of the first entity of a resolution expected to be available using the selected service relative to other services. |

A system includes a first mechanism for defining a set of attributes and associated descriptor variables involved in market transactions. Importance values are assigned to the descriptor variables by the first mechanism. A second mechanism computes match scores for the market transactions based on the importance values. A third mechanism employs the match scores to clear the electronic market. In a specific embodiment, the first mechanism includes an administrator interface (24), which allows an administrator to define the descriptor variables. A configurator communicates with the administrator interface and allows the administrator to assign a first set important values to corresponding descriptor variables. The first set important values includes default importance values or important values assigned to the descriptor variables by a seller seeking to transact with a buyer via the electronic market. The administrator interface (24) allows an administrator to configure a user interface of the market to allow market participants to assign a second set of important values to different descriptor variables. The second set of important values includes buyer and seller important values. The descriptor variables and associated descriptor important values may be continuous or discrete. A matching engine (28) computes the match scores for market transactions based on a predetermined evaluation method specified via the administrator interface and based on a unique match score computation method. |

Electronic marketplaces offer a variety of items to customers over the Internet. Where two or more items are interchangeable with or equivalent to one another, such items may be utilized in the same applications and in the same manner, and marketed and sold together as interchanges or equivalents. Such items may be identified as interchangeable with or equivalent to one another based on a qualitative or quantitative score, which may consider any available information or attributes regarding the items, and may increase or decrease over time as the confidence in a determination of interchangeability or equivalence improves or declines. Moreover, such information or attributes may be identified from any source, such as sellers, vendors or manufacturers of the items, and qualitative or quantitative scores indicative of the accuracy or reliability of such information or attributes may be assigned to such sources, as well. |

A shared “universal” virtual shopping cart (“the cart”) may be provided by a host to enable information sharing between multiple disparate electronic marketplaces provided by various merchants. The host may obtain user information via the cart to improve interactions with a user. The host may recommend an item to the user that is offered at a lower price and related to an item retained in the user's cart. The host may also recommend items based on a user's purchase history, such as complementary items (e.g., up-sell items) and items other users may recommend. In some aspects, the host may compile best selling lists based on data from multiple electronic marketplaces. The host may also perform user specific operations such as indicate an item in a cart is a duplicate of a previous purchase and monitor a price and/or available quantities of an item in the cart. |

A method and system for facilitating trading of financial instruments in a market are provided. The system comprises a server and an interface. The interface is configured to enable buy orders and sell orders to be entered. Each order has a price, a volume, and an entry time and relates to a respective futures contract. The server is configured to match received buy orders having a first price to received sell orders having the first price. The match is effected by ensuring that the prices match, and then using the volume and entry time for each buy order and each sell order to assign a volume weight and a time weight, and then using the volume weights and the time weights to determine each match. The server uses the matches to complete respective trades. The volume and time weights may be adjusted based on market conditions. |
