Zusammenfassung:A request for quote (RFQ) engine ( 10 ) includes a data and metrics designer ( 22 ) that generates, in response to input from a user, a data and metrics model ( 42 ) for an RFQ template using a data and metrics meta-model ( 32 ). The RFQ engine ( 10 ) also includes a state transition designer ( 24 ) that generates, in response to input from the user, a state transition model ( 44 ) for the RFQ template using a state transition meta-model ( 34 ). Furthermore, the RFQ engine ( 10 ) includes a workflow designer ( 26 ) that generates, in response to input from the user, a user interface workflow ( 46 ) for the RFQ template using a workflow meta-model ( 36 ). In addition, the RFQ engine includes an execution engine ( 40 ) that executes the RFQ template that includes the data and metrics model ( 42 ) generated by the data and metrics designer ( 22 ), the state transition model ( 44 ) generated by the state transition designer ( 24 ), and the user interface workflow ( 46 ) generated by the workflow designer ( 26 ). The RFQ template is executed to generate an RFQ.
