Author(s): Kowalczyk, Ryszard; Braun, Peter; Mueller, Ingo; Rossak, Wilhelm; Franczyk, Bogdan; Speck, Andreas
Abstract: The business trends to trade more complex goods and services in inter-connected e-marketplaces and to use mobile communication channels drive the requirements for the next generation of e-marketplaces including more advanced trading, mobile access and user support capabilities. This paper presents an attempt to address the above requirements by proposing an intelligent mobile agent-based e-marketplace solution called InterMarket that integrates mobile agents and intelligent decision-making agents in e-marketplaces. InterMarket aims at enabling mobile access and automated trading in inter-connected e-marketplaces with an add-on component to an existing commercial e-marketplace platform. The paper presents a general concept and solution of InterMarket, and discusses the proposed approach in the context of related research in mobile e-commerce agents and intelligent agent-mediated e-commerce.
