| Abstract: | Shoppers and sellers alike dispatch them into the digital bazaar to autonomously represent their best interests. Popular software agents were first used several years ago to filter information, match people with similar interests and automate repetitive behavior. More recently, agents have been applied to e-commerce, promising a revolution in the way we conduct transactions -- business-to-business, business-to-consumer, and consumer-to-consumer. The Internet and World Wide Web represent an increasingly important channel for retail commerce as well as business-to-business transactions. |
