Abstract: For a finite group $G$, we introduce a multiplication on the $QQ$-vector space with basis $scr{S}_{GimesG}$, the set of subgroups of $GimesG$. The resulting $QQ$-algebra $Atilde$ can be considered as a ghost algebra for the double Burnside ring $B(G,G)$ in the sense that the mark homomorphism from $B(G,G)$ to $Atilde$ is a ring homomorphism. Our approach interprets $QQB(G,G)$ as an algebra $eAe$, where $A$ is a twisted monoid algebra and $e$ is an idempotent in $A$. The monoid underlying the algebra $A$ is again equal to $scr{S}_{GimesG}$ with multiplication given by composition of relations (when a subgroup of $GimesG$ is interpreted as a relation between $G$ and $G$). The algebras $A$ and $Atilde$ are isomorphic via M"obius inversion in the poset $scr{S}_{GimesG}$. As an application we improve results by Bouc on the parametrization of simple modules of $QQB(G,G)$ and also of simple biset functors, by using results by Linckelmann and Stolorz on the parametrization of simple modules of finite category algebras. Finally, in the case where $G$ is a cyclic group of order $n$, we give an explicit isomorphism between $QQB(G,G)$ and a direct product of matrix rings over group algebras of the automorphism groups of cyclic groups of order $k$, where $k$ divides $n$.
