Abstract

Web based auctions and negotiations have become quite popular due to their implementation and integration in electronic commerce applications. Online auctions have become an effective approach in the buying and selling process, employed in the rapidly emerging Internet-based electronic commerce platforms. The goal of this paper is to outline research efforts in relation to online Internet-based auctions modeling and applications. The key research topics in the area are identified and the paper focus on the issues of auction modeling, use of agents in Web-based auction implementations, auctions computational and combinatorial analysis as well as on security issues involved in online auctioning. The most popular implementations, applications and servers are also referenced and discussed.
