Abstract

Advances in eletronic commerce and agent technology are pushing the world rapidly toward ever-increasing e-business automation. The logical development of this movement is agent-based electronic commerce, in which software agents act as autonomous (or semi-autonomous) businesses in their own right, buying and selling information goods and services online. We review some of the forseeable developments and challenges in the growth of agent-based electronic commerce.
