Market
All items that can be traded form a market.
Example: All conceivable vehicles compose a car market.
Orders
An order is a subset of the market along with a price function.
,-$1 for every ten miles.
Order example: Any Mustang or Corvette;Mustang for $38,000 or Corvette for $40,000.
Matching
A buy order matches a sell order if:
item buy-region sell-region,buy-price(item) sell-price(item).
Fills
Buy order:Any Color Sports Car$36,000
Sell order:Silver Limo $50,000
or Red Mustang $32,000
Fill:Red Mustang
$34,000
Implemented Exchange System
Specific sell orders
Good:Sell a red Mustangmade in 1999.
Bad:Sell any color Mustangmade before 1999.
Auctions
• Complex commodities
• Asymmetry between buyers and sellers
• Illiquid
Examples:eBay, FreeMarkets, eMediator
Exchanges
• Simple commodities
• Symmetry between buyers and sellers
• Liquid
Examples:Stocks, Futures

Node in the Tree
Each node contains a red-black treefor one attribute.
If there are k values for an attribute,search within the node takes O(lg k).
Matching a Buy Order
Let S be the number of sell orders and m be the number of matches.
Best case: Time = O(m + lg S)
Worse case: Time = O(m lg S)
Worst case: Time = O(S)
Processing Steps
For every new order:If it is a buy order,
then search for matches;if not filled, add it to the list.
If it is a sell order,then insert it into the tree.
Process
Re-match
Stop?
Processing Time
Let P be the number of old orders, N be the number of new orders, andm be the number of matches per order.
Best case: Time = O(N (m + lg P))
Worse case: Time = O(N m lg P))
Process
Re-match

Re-Matching Steps
For each buy order,search for matches among new sell orders.
Process
Re-match
Stop?
Let P be the number of old orders, N be the number of new orders, andm be the number of matches per order.
Best case: Time = O(P (m + lg N))
Worse case: Time = O(P m lg N))
