Abstract:
Markets evolve through 'entrepreneurial' intervention which
is based on intuition and on timely information. An electronic market
has been constructed in the laboratory as a collaborative virtual
environment to identify timely entrepreneurial information for
e-markets. This information is distilled from individual signals in the
markets themselves and from signals observed on the Internet.
Distributed, concurrent, time-constrained data mining methods are
managed using business process management technology to extract
timely, reliable information from this inherently unreliable
environment.
