Transforming a Secure eCommerce Application into a Multi-Agent based Solution for eContracting∗

چکیده
The eCommerce domain needs more and more automation, speed and security for its customers. That’s why the number of B2B applications handling electronic contracts and digital signatures is still increasing. These ones are based on certificates and use secure communication protocols. Nevertheless most of them don’t take into account negotiation regarding to contracts clauses and arbitration of potential conflicts. In the Multi-Agent System (MAS) domain contract notion exists too. Social contracts make social control and management of cooperation between agents possible. This paper will consist in combining notions of electronic contract and social contract in order to integrate agents within an eCommerce platform for the automation and autonomous negotiation of electronic contracts terms. We experiment our proposal in the context of secure eBusiness application trading intangible assets where we consider a specific business case related to the translation sector.

This paper presents a multi agent system for the job shop scheduling problems. The proposed system consists of initial scheduling agent, search agents, and schedule management agent. In initial scheduling agent, a modified Shifting Bottleneck is proposed. That is, an effective heuristic approach and can generate a good solution in a low computational effort. In search agents, a hybrid search ap...
متن کاملHorizontal representation of a hesitant fuzzy set and its application to multiple attribute decision making
The main aim of this paper is to present a novel method for ranking hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) based on transforming HFSs into fuzzy sets (FSs). The idea behind the method is an interesting HFS decomposition which is referred here to as the horizontal representation in the current study. To show the validity of the proposed ranking method, we apply it to solve a multi-attribute decision-making ...
