Abstract :
Most current e-auction systems are based on the client-server architecture. Such centralized systems provide a single point of failure and control. In contrast, peer-to-peer systems permit distributed control and minimize individual node and link failures´ impact on the system. The shared-storage-based auction model described decentralizes services among peers to share the required processing load and aggregates peers´ resources for common use. The model is based on the principles of local computation at each peer, direct inter-peer communication, and a shared storage space.
