摘要： A decentralized method of negotiating for the exchange of products over a communications network can include generating a request specifying at least one product attribute within a requesting device and forwarding the request to other authorized devices having a presence on the communications network. Each of the devices can include a distributed search engine for locating descriptions of products stored in the devices which match the request. One or more descriptions of products matching the request can be received from selected ones of the authorized devices. The matching descriptions can be stored within the requesting device.
