1. A computer system for ranking one or more objects having two or more attributes, comprising:
- a data aggregator that integrates data from two or more enterprise data sources into an aggregated enterprise database;
a knowledge base generator that constructs a knowledge base by extracting at least one of facts and rules from the aggregated enterprise database and stores the facts and rules in a knowledge base database; and
a bid configurator that constructs one or more sell bid candidates for one or more target Request for Quotes (RFQs) by using at least one inference engine and the extracted facts and rules from the knowledge base database.

Abstract
A system and method for configuring sell bids. The system and method use rules and inference engines in order to configure sell bids in view of Request for Quotes (RFQs). The system and method include a data aggregator that integrates data from two or more enterprise data sources into an aggregated enterprise database and a knowledge base database. A bid configurator constructs one or more sell bid candidates for one or more target RFQs by using at least one inference engine and the extracted facts and rules from the knowledge database.

13. A method of configuring one or more sell bids, comprising the steps of:
-
aggregating data from one or more enterprise data sources;
storing the aggregated enterprise data in an integrated database system;
extracting one or more facts useful for bid configuration from the integrated database system;
deriving one or more rules useful for bid configuration from the integrated database system;
constructing one or more knowledge base systems by storing the facts and rules in a form understood by one or more inference engines; and
constructing one or more sell bid candidates for one or more target RFQs by running one or more facts and rules from the target RFQs and the knowledge base system to the one or more inference engines. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
