An E-negotiation Model Based on Multi-agent and Ontology
Pu Qiu Mei, Hong Zhang, Cao Cun, Pan Xiu Qin · 2009
In the e-commerce environments, multi-agent system is often used in automated negotiation. But when agents communicate they do not necessarily use the same vocabulary or ontology. If they want to interact successfully they must find correspondences between the terms used in their Ontology. It is obvious that negotiating agent architectures have not been addressed sufficiently. Towards this end, this paper present a novel agent construction model that enables agents communicate in the semantic web. Semantic web use Ontology to describe the negotiation protocol, which will enable agent gain the necessary knowledge of the protocol from the market. We demonstrate how the model allows us to accomplish these negotiation architectures.
