The stand rental system is going to be used by any company to search for stands, either by prices, by prices, or by types. If there is any interest then the company will request a quotation through the system. This request will be assessed by a salesman of INSIGHTS. The salesman will issue a quotation accordingly. In the case the prices are convenient, the company will reserve the stands that it is interested in. The company has three days to pay the costs of the stands. The costs are obtained from the invoice generated by the salesman. The company can cancel its reservation any time. Furthermore, before the starting of the event, an employee of INSIGHTS with the role of supervisor will generate a report about the companies that paid the fees and the current setup of the exhibition. The supervisor will also issue the necessary reminders to the companies to bring their equipment as well as bring their promotion documents to the site of the exhibition.

ARENA is game independent in the sense that organizers can adapt a new game to the ARENA game interface, upload it to the ARENA server, and immediately announce and conduct tournaments with players and spectators located anywhere on the Internet. Organizers can also define new tournament styles, describing how players are mapped to a set of matches and how to compute an overall ranking of players by adding up their victories and losses (hence, figuring out who won the tournament). To recoup their operational costs, organizers can also invite potential sponsors to display advertisement banners during games. USE-CASE DIAGRAM: A.
