| Abstract | The diversity of research and development work on agent technology
has led to a strong distinction between mobile and
intelligent agents. This paper presents an architecture aiming
at providing a step towards the integration of these two
aspects, concretely by providing an approach of dynamically
embedding negotiation capabilities into mobile agents. In
particular, the requirements for enabling automated negotiations
including negotiation protocols and strategies, a plug-in component
architecture for realizing such requirements on mobile agents, and
the design of negotiation support building blocks as components of
this architecture are presented. |
