[0D1.5] A Market Mechanism for the KPN Case (restricted access only)
Scientific report on adaptive agent systems, concerning definition of and research on a first market mechanism. Especially, it consists of the design, simulation, and experimentation of the mechanism.

[0D4.9] Demonstrator KPN (restricted access only)
Technical report describing the demonstrator for KPN. This demonstrator runs in an internet browser, is developed in JavaScript and Java applets. It demonstrates the hypotheses on personalisation of communication and information to the customer in the electronic shopping mall.
