Multi-Agent Systems in E-Commerce
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the usage of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in ecommerce. First some of the first simple search agents like BargainFinder, Jango and one of the first Multi-Agent Systems, Kasbah are shortly presented. Then four auction types, which are often used in MAS for the negotiation are described. Next a MAS is presented, whose prototype is implemented in JADE, together with some modifications and improvements done to transform it in a rule-based negotiation system. A MAS that is capable of learning the best strategy, using knowledge discovery is presented in more detail, followed by one that uses fuzzy logic to determine the best strategy.

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
