Agents Participating in Internet Auctions

چکیده
We have designed agents to participate in one of the internet auctions|Michigan AuctionBot. The agents communicate with the AuctionBot through API. For the inference mechanism underlying the agent, we use regression methods for online derivation of functional relations between other agents' actions and their internal states. The functional form of a regression model is based on an agent's assumptions of other agents' underlying behaviors. We implemented four types of agents, distinguished by their different assumptions about other agents.

متن کاملSocial Presence: Influence on Bidders in Internet Auctions
We study effects of social processes’ representation in Internet auctions using laboratory experiments. The inability of participating parties to learn about each others’ bidding behaviour and to extend their comprehension beyond what is presented in auction sites today decreases the social influence compared to traditional face-to-face auctions. This reality is about to change since new intera...
