| Abstract: | This paper describes a web-based electronic commerce system in which customers and merchants delegate the related tasks to their personal software agents. Messages passed between these agents can fully encapsulate the associated parties' points of view towards a market transaction. More specifically, an offer request consists of a list of the product attributes the customer wants to know about, a partial order of their importance, and the constraints imposed. On the other side, an offer proposal can be tailored according to the information conveyed in the corresponding offer request. Advanced features of the system include the permanent existence of our agents in the market, thus being able to learn from it. |
