ECA Rule-Based Negotiation Agent in E-commerce

Abstract

E-commerce is seen as one of the key services of modern information society. The idea of automating e-commerce transactions attracted a lot of interest during the last years. Multi-agent systems are claimed to be one of promising software technologies for achieving this goal. Rules constitute a very promising approach to describing negotiation processes. We suggest ECA rule-based approaches to automated negotiations. The experimental scenario considers multiple buyer and seller agents that are performed in parallel.
