Market Maker: an Agent-Mediated Marketplace Infrastructure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Market Maker is a tool for creating agent based electronic marketplaces. Market maker supports automated product identification, buyer and seller qualification, and negotiations by software agents to facilitate transactions. The concept of agent based marketplace was first demonstrated through Kasbah, an electronic marketplace developed in the Media Lab's Software Agents group in 1996. Market Maker extends the Kasbah concepts by providing a framework for creating marketplaces on demand. Thesis Supervisor: Patricia Maes Title: Professor of Media, Arts, and Sciences
