摘要

In this paper, we propose a multiagent system framework for B2B eCommerce. In this framework, the ebXML specifications is utilized. The system has six types of agents: profiling agents, providing agents, seeking agents, evaluating agents, negotiating agents and agreement agents. These agents interact with each other to perform the business task. Then, we outline a negotiation strategy which uses the paxties' collaboration protocol profiles (CPP) to match companies and return a collaboration protocol agreement (CPA) which business parties agree upon. We also discuss the implementation of the ebXML registry based on a public specification, where the registry is exposed as a Web service which can be very useful for promoting interoperability of a business process. We show that the utilization of ebXML specifications within agents allows an automated electronic commerce infrastructure and adds some autonomy of business process.
