“…Various combinations of heterogeneous communication services like internet, mobile and GPS can be applied to form value-added applications, which are usually called locationbased services (LBS). Emiris et al (2007) demonstrated the coupling of LBS and mCommerce in auction environments to create an m-auction environment for use in logistics-related services. In particular, they examined the case of auctions where several bidders compete to win a freight contract by offering a lower price.…”

For the agrifood industry the issue of product traceability over the supply chain is of great importance. Agrifood product companies use various methods and technologies to safeguard product quality and their market reputation. Moreover, management of contemporary complex and rapidly changing logistics systems require high availability of real-time information about the position and state of a company's fleet and freight. Supply-chain management, and more specifically the freight transportation channel, is currently supported by technological innovations in information and communication technologies (ICT) in many ways, providing valuable information for carriers and shippers to manage fleets and goods effectively, and at the same time enhancing their capability of responding to changing customer requirements. ICT applications allow decision-makers and planners to effectively handle problems related to the daily operation of distribution centres, freight forwarding, urban distribution, long-haul freight transport, loading and unloading planning, route scheduling etc. The growing volume of data, coupled with the need for flexibility in daily operations, requires the support of suitable information technology. Recent advances in microelectronics and computing technology have enhanced the capability of electronic devices, for example display size, interfaces, portability and energy consumption. In addition, new portable devices (personal data assistants and personal navigation systems have been developed recently and do not require fixed installation in vehicles.Coherent combinations of ICT technologies and devices constitute specific classes of sophisticated information systems (typically referred to as 'telematics' or automatic vehicle location systems). These offer monitoring and interaction capabilities between fleet trucks, drivers and freight stakeholders at almost any level of management, covering the planning, the trip and route monitoring, and reporting needs. The need for ICT support in freight transport and distribution becomes even more important when transported goods are of high value, perishable, time-dependent, hazardous or related to just-in-time services for those companies aiming at supplying products in complex and continuously growing distribution networks. Typical examples of these are agricultural and food products. Such networks aim to deliver products to stores ranging from small retailers (offering a range of 1000-3000 stock keeping units (SKUs), 90% of which are agrifood products) to supermarkets (offering a range of 20 000-30 000 SKUs, 75-90% of which are agrifood products) and hypermarkets (offering Intelligent Agrifood Chains and Networks, First Edition.

This thesis considers auctions as trading mechanisms in dynamic marketplaces. In the recent past, the evolution of Internet and wireless communications leveraged the wide and global expansion of auctions by abolishing time and location restrictions. These developments enabled the initiation of trade and participation for almost any type of entity like consumers, business, government etc. Moreover, the technological infrastructure facilitated and enhanced the implementation of more complex auction mechanisms introducing advanced properties like negotiation attributes, bundles of items, etc. The thesis focuses on the application of advanced forms of auctions in dynamic marketplaces where one or more of its dimensions are characterized by high variability. These dimensions can be, for example, the location of the trading item or market participants, the price, the available capacity, the number of participants, etc.An extended literature review mainly from the last decade yielded more than 450 research works dealing with auction mechanisms and corresponding auction theory, and more than 300 research works dealing with the implementation of auctions in electronic and mobile marketplaces. This number reflects the intensive research interest in the area of auctions. The extensive study of these resources demonstrated a serious gap on the systematic organization of auctions regarding the mechanism attributes, their parameters, and implementation instance. This thesis comes to bridge this gap by introducing a conceptual auction classification prototype that resulted from the intensive study of the research literature and the systematic unification of the findings. This model is conceptually defined as "Auction Classification Ecosystem -ACE" and it intends to be used in the future as the state-of-the-art model for auctions engineering.The ACE model consists of three discrete, yet strongly integrated Levels: (i) Level-1 supports the design of the basic auction mechanism, yet, it also supports the design of more complex multi-dimensional auction formats including special decision-making plug-ins, (ii) Level-2 deals with the enrichment of the core auction mechanism with additional parameters which entails enhancing characteristics related to, for example, robustness, fairness, competitiveness, etc., (iii) Level-3 aims on the efficient implementation of the auction supporting several types of decision-makers (e.g., auctioneer, technology provider, etc.) to organize the implementation of the auction and prioritize their actions depending on the implementation context. These layers can be used either independently of each other or in a sequential form. Overall, ACE is highly comprehensive and expandable and usuable, able to serve for: (i) the extensive and structured organization of auction-based dynamic marketplaces, (ii) the analysis of auction formats, (iii) the classification of literature and research findings (iv) the completeness in decision-making, (v) the expandability and integration with other research disciplines, a...
