FRONT CAPITAL SYSTEMS is a company that develops financial software for
banks and other financial institutions. This software enables the banks
and other financial institutions to connect to exchanges and trade instruments
available there. The software contains an internal type of exchange where
trades can be done without passing through an external exchange. On this
market an automatic matching program runs and executes orders that match
each other.
This thesis demonstrates a prototype for configuring this matching program
with distributed programming techniques. The developed server is implemented
in C++ and communicates with Visual Basic clients through COM.
