Abstract :
Software as a service (SAAS) is a long-term research project aimed at developing technologies and methods for the rapid production and evolution of software systems by providing software as a service rather than as a product. Recently, there has been a growing interest in bringing intelligent solutions to Internet based computing. Automated negotiation has been at the center of such interest. This paper is concerned with the implications of negotiating software services under the software as a service model.
