Multi-Agent Systems for E-Commerce

Abstract

The article focuses on multi-agent systems (MAS) and domains that can benefit from multi-agent technology. In the last few years, the agent based modeling (ABM) community has developed several practical agent based modeling toolkits that enable individuals to develop agent-based applications. The comparison of agent-based modeling toolkits is given. Multi-agent systems are designed to handle changing and dynamic business processes. Any organization with complex and distributed business processes can benefit from multi-agent technology. The model of the E-commerce Platform targeted at online trading and auction systems, e-markets and private trading exchanges is presented.
