The global adoption of technologies enabling virtualization of physical
objects and their integration into existing business models empower and
drive automation of improved knowledge management and interaction models
in electronic marketplaces. Electronic markets will benefit from - and
require - the use of multi-agent systems, which offer robust,
distributed, and dynamic environments of autonomous software entities
manifesting business logic on behalf of users and organizations. The
emerging challenges for multi-agent systems in electronic markets
include semantic models, ontologies, and languages; trading models;
security and privacy issues relating to autonomy; and trust and
reputation management. We invite submission of original research, both
theoretical and applied, which address these challenges. Particularly,
topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
Suggested topics (but not limited):
- Agent-based methods and frameworks for electronic markets
- Agent-oriented business protocols for electronic markets
- Agent-based coordination and communication languages for electronic
markets
- Agent-mediated electronic commerce & trading agents
- Agent-mediated supply chain management
- Industrial Applications of autonomous agents & multi-agent systems in
economic environments
- Agent-based methods for perception, action & planning
- Negotiation, auctions, social choice mechanisms & argumentation
- Game theoretic/economic foundations
- Agent-oriented coalition formation & teamwork
- Ontologies for agent systems
- Security, trust, and privacy aspects of autonomy
- Individualization and personalization
