Auction Management System

The Auction Management System is a Java console-based application that facilitates online auctions. It implements advanced concepts like thread synchronization and data structures to ensure efficient and reliable auction operations. The system is backed by SQL for data storage, providing a robust platform for managing auctions in real-time.

Features

• User Authentication: Allows users to register and log in to participate in auctions.
• Auction Creation: Registered users can create auctions by specifying item details, starting bids, and auction duration.
• Real-time Bidding: Supports concurrent real-time bidding, ensuring fair and safe access using thread synchronization.
• Bid History: Users can track and view the bidding history of auctions, adding transparency.
• Admin Panel: Administrators can manage users, auctions, and monitor activities in real-time.

Technologies Used

• Java: Core language used for developing the application.
• Thread Synchronization: Ensures data consistency and manages concurrent access to shared resources during bidding.
• Data Structures: Used for efficient storage and management of user data, auction details, and bid history.
• SQL: For data storage and efficient querying of auction data.
