Games at Work-Agent-Mediated E-Commerce Simulation

چکیده
In this paper, we describe our research into flexible, agent-based e-commerce systems. During the summer, we are building an experimental multi-player shopping game, in which agents will represent buyers, sellers, brokers and services of various kinds. The choice of a game format has intrinsic appeal for demonstration and educational value, and also serves as a controlled vehicle for experimenting with alternative individual and group economic strategies, and for evaluating the effectiveness of agent-based systems for e-commerce.

Teaching e-markets through simulation games
This paper presents our experiences in using an approach to teaching and learning that incorporates elements from games. In particular we describe a simulation game that has been used in a graduate course on Agent Technology for E-commerce to teach students principles of electronic markets and strategic interaction.
متن کاملNash Convergence of Gradient Dynamics in Iterated General-Sum Games
Multi-agent games are becoming an increas ingly prevalent formalism for the study of electronic commerce and auctions. The speed at which transactions can take place and the growing complexity of electronic market places makes the study of computationally simple agents an appealing direction. In this work, we analyze the behavior of agents that incrementally adapt their strategy through gradi...

متن کاملMediated E-Commerce Sites based on Adaptive Multiagent Systems
E-Commerce is a business form that has grown in popularity in our society. E-Commerce applications are so consolidated in a certain kind of areas, and also have a very promising road in many others. In this way, new technologies have been applied to give an adequate response to this kind of software. One of these technologies is the agent technology that has found in the e-commerce one of the m...
متن کاملBargaining by Artificial Agents in Two Coalition Games: A Study in Genetic Programming for Electronic Commerce
Artificial agents, coevolving under a machine learning regime, offer a promising basis for modeling adaptive behavior in multilateral negotiations and developing practical applications in electronic commerce. Results from simulations of bargaining in two coalition games demonstrate that simple artificial agents, adapting to one another under a genetic programming protocol (Koza, 1992), formulat...
