micromarkets - a distributed agent-based approach to e-markets
Wolf-Christian Eickhoff, Wolfgang Maaß · Alexandria (UniSG) (University of St.Gallen) · 2002
To overcome constraints of current marketplaces and e-commerce sites we propose an open, flexible framework for user-centered marketplaces. This framework brings together rational user, which can exchange values like goods and services based on the principles of peer-to-peer networks. Any agent can easily create different markets in a modular fashion. By means of this, any agent can take part in diverse, independent and highly customized markets, which we call "micromarkets"
