Interacting agents in networks: E-auction and emergence in E-marketing

This paper describes how a set of agents can be used for collaboration in E-marketing and-E-Auction. We have formalized an integrated model consisting of the salient features of several agent paradigms, and link it with the distributed software engineering methodology. The integrated model proposed here has the simplicity and adaptability for realisation as a distributed transaction based paradigm for negotiation and other E-marketing problems. Also it can provide an insight into the self-organized criticality in a network of agents.
