Online auctions are a platform to trade goods on the Internet. In this context, negotiation capabilities for software agents in continuous double auctions (CDAs) are a central concern. Agents need to be able to prepare bids for and evaluate offers on behalf of the users they represent with the aim of obtaining the maximum benefit for their users.
For the agents, their bids are decided according to some bidding strategy. However, in CDAs, it is a complex decision problem because of the inherent uncertainty and dynamics of the auction market. In this book, we present a new bidding...

The global economy and individual organizations are evolving to become service-oriented. There have recently been more and more research works on services provision, particularly with a cross-disciplinary approach. Service Intelligence and Service Science: Evolutionary Technologies and Challenges the emerging fields of service intelligence and service science, positioning them as the most promising directions for the evolution of service computing. This book demonstrates the critical role such areas play in supporting service computing processes, and furthers an increase in current research,...

This book extends the classic stability concept of the non-transferable utility core, proposing new belief-based stability criteria under uncertainty and showing use of the concept to analyze the stability of a new type of belief-based coalition forming game.

Thisbook mainly aims at solving the problems in both cooperative and competitivemulti-agent systems (MASs), exploring aspects such as how agents caneffectively learn to achieve the shared optimal solution based on their localinformation and how they can learn to increase their individual utility byexploiting the weakness of their opponents.
