US Classification:

705 39

Abstract:

A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for matching virtual currency exchange requests. The method comprises the step of creating a virtual currency exchange network comprised of a set of nodes and a set of edges connecting the nodes together. Each of the nodes represents a virtual currency type, each of the edges represents a virtual currency exchange request, and one of the edges represents a current virtual currency exchange request. A plurality of paths are identified in the network as potentially fulfilling the current virtual currency exchange request. Each of these paths is comprised of at least two edges of the network, and each of the paths represents one way to fulfill the current virtual currency exchange request. One of those paths is selected, using a defined set of criteria, as an optimal path for fulfilling said current virtual currency exchange request.

The server side includes a decision support system database that interfaces with a model engine that performs analysis of the data to support planning decisions. The server side includes a server manager that coordinates requests for service and information. The client side includes decision frames that present the various view points available in the system to the users. A frame manager coordinates the requests from decision support frames to access the needed data and models. The decision support frames provide a view into the supply chain and integrate analytical models responsive to the view point of a business process such as demand management. The frames include a supply management frame, a demand management frame, a vendor managed replenishment frame, a Planning, Sales and Inventory planning frame, and a distribution network design frame. The frame manager includes a system integrator and a functional integrator.
