A method for accommodating electronic commerce in a semiconductor manufacturing capacity market. The method comprises the steps of identifying a plurality of players in the semiconductor manufacturing capacity market, each of which players can solicit capacity in semiconductor manufacturing capacity market; providing a neutral third-party, the neutral third party and the plurality of players configured in a hub arrangement for communicating with each of the plurality of players in semiconductor manufacturing capacity trades; and realizing an open market conditionality between each of the plurality of players and the neutral third party so that the semiconductor manufacturing capacity supplied by one or more of the players can be bought and sold among the players; and, the neutral third party can preserve anonymity of each of the plurality of players soliciting semiconductor manufacturing capacity.

A method for accommodating electronic commerce in a communication network capacity market. The method includes the steps of identifying a plurality of players in the communication network capacity market, each of which players can solicit capacity in communication network capacity market; providing a neutral third-party, the neutral third party and the plurality of players configured in a hub arrangement for communicating with each of the plurality of players in communication network capacity trades; and, realizing an open market conditionality between each of the plurality of players and the neutral third party so that the communication network capacity supplied by one or more of the players can be bought and sold among the players; and, the neutral third party can preserve anonymity of each of the plurality of players soliciting communication network capacity.

A computer-implemented method for double auction trade-building by matching, based on feasibility and price/cost heuristics, a plurality of electronically posted bid with a plurality of electronically posted ask records. A one-pass sequential trade building method selects ask records one at a time and sequentially inserts, in one pass, as many of the bid records as possible while maintaining feasibility criteria. A two pass sequential trade building method inserts the bid records in two stages, the first terminating when the trade becomes feasible and the second when no further bids can be inserted.
