Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de commerce soumis à la médiation d'agents et ainsi que les agents associés à ce procédé et à ce système. Des agents de vente peuvent offrir des services à des prix qui varient dans le temps, sur la base d'expériences passées. Des agents d'achat peuvent être configurés par leurs utilisateurs en fonction du temps et de contraintes, du budget et de l'importance d'une tâche spécifique. Ces agents d'achat essaient, selon des méthodes probabilistes, de maximiser les services de leur propriétaire, en partie, en estimant le rendement espéré de chaque vendeur sur la base de la réputation de ce vendeur dans la place de marché appropriée. Ces agents d'achat peuvent ne révéler aux vendeurs que leurs contraintes et les descriptions des tâches (services) souhaitées. Les agents de vente font des offres pour les tâches offertes et basent leurs offres au moins partiellement sur les réputations de leurs propriétaires, leur disponibilité, la difficulté de la tâche et la demande courante sur le marché. Les réputations des vendeurs sont mises à jour de façon coopérative sur la base du rendement du vendeur. Les agents de vente emploient des mécanismes de tarification dynamiques, y compris des suiveurs de réputation qui recherchent spécifiquement la maximisation de leur bénéfice.The invention relates to a process and a system of trade mediated by agents and also to the agents associated with this process and this system. Sales agents can offer services at prices that vary over time, based on past experience. Purchasing agents can be configured by their users according to time and constraints, budget and the importance of a specific task. These buying agents try, using probabilistic methods, to maximize the services of their owner, in part, by estimating the expected performance of each seller based on that seller's reputation in the appropriate market place. These purchasing agents may reveal to the sellers only their constraints and the descriptions of the tasks (services) desired. Sales agents make offers for the tasks offered and base their offers at least partially on the reputations of their owners, their availability, the difficulty of the task and current market demand. Sellers' reputations are updated cooperatively based on the seller's performance. Sales agents employ dynamic pricing mechanisms, including reputation followers who specifically seek profit maximization.
