            Abstract : 
Although the Internet has made it easier for companies to do business and transfer information, finding appropriate trading partners is still a major stumbling block in business-to-business (B2B) electronic commerce. To overcome current limitations, the authors propose Matchmaker, a system that matches buyers and suppliers in B2B marketplaces.
