Most electronic marketplaces are derived from a client/server model, with a central coordinator institution in the middle and a closed group of market participants submitting bids and asks to that institution. In contrast, technical views on electronic commerce often envision ad-hoc cooperation between market participants in open and decentralized IT environments, where software agents negotiate for their human principals. Such environments will naturally form unregulated market-coordinated multi-agent systems with selfish agents negotiating for utility maximization, and they need concepts for decentralized economic coordination - a mechanism for distributed resource allocation that works without a market maker, with maximum privacy, security and coherent coordination as result. This article describes a framework used for the realization of a multiagent system which coordinates a supply chain using a decentralized economic approach.
