The Autonomous Systems
of Trade Agents in E-Commerce (ASTA) project concerns research on systems
of trading software agents ("trade agents'') in electronic commerce. Principle
research lines are relating agent technologies to feasible e-commerce application
areas and the development of a modeling and code generation system for
this relation; the construction of computer-aided adaptive trade agent
strategies and implicit learning systems for interaction and transaction
(like negotiation and profiling), with the investigation of emergent behaviour
of trade agent systems in e-commerce; and the development of experimental
prototypes, practical experience and solutions, and guidelines for application
of agent systems in actual commercial situations.
The ASTA project is funded by the Telematics
institute. Principal partners are the Sen-4
theme group of the Centre
for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI), TNO,
ING and KPN. Project leader is Han La Poutré
from CWI. The ASTA project started in January 2000 and will continue until
December 2003.
