Title
Multi-Agent Automated Intelligent Shopping System (MAISS)
Abstract
The use of Agent Technology to support Ecommerce operations, especially in automating the buying and selling process is so promising and is worth of success.Electronic commerce grows rapidly over the Internet. The information on internet becomes more dynamic and heterogeneous. Thus, software agents are required to provide a strong working structure as they help build powerful distributed systems.The approach proposed in this paper is a mult-agent automated intelligent shopping system whose aim is to present optimal solutions to enhance and facilitate e-commerce transactions (including automated price negotiations). It is a distributed system, where human users (buyers and sellers) are able to delegate their tasks to agents, which will then do the shopping job on their behalf and present them the results. Buyer users (customers) and the seller users (suppliers) can be organizations, companies or individuals. The proposed approach is demonstrated by a sample implementation done using JADE.
