Abstract

This paper presents a multiagent recommendation system (RecMAS) able to coordinate the interactions between a user agent (AgUser) and a set of commercial agents (AgComs) providing a useful service for monitoring changes in the AgUser's beliefs and decisions based on two parameters: (i) the strength of its own beliefs and (ii) the strength of the AgComs' suggestions. The system was used to test several commercial activities in a shopping centre where the AgComs (AgComs) provided information to an AgUser operating in a wireless device (PDA, mobile phone, etc.) used by a client. The AgUser received messages adapted for conditions of particular offers of interest to the client. Using a theoretical model and a set of simulation experiments, commercial strategies in relation with the socio-dynamics of the system were obtained. This paper concludes with a presentation of a prototype in a real shopping centre.
