This paper proposes an English auction protocol to preserve a secure, fair, and effective online auction environment, where the operations are integrated with mobile agent technology for bidders participating in online auctions. The protocol consists of four participants, namely, registration manager, agent house, auction house, and bidder.

Agents are rapidly emerging as a new paradigm for developing software applications. They are being used in an increasing variety of applications, ranging from relatively small systems such as assistants to large, open, mission-critical systems like electronic marketplaces. One of the most promising areas of applications for agent technology is e-business. In this chapter, we describe a group of architectural patterns for agent-based e-business systems. These patterns relate to front-end e-business activities that involve interaction with the user, and delegation of user tasks to agents. Patterns capture well-proven, common solutions, and guide developers through the process of designing systems. This chapter should be of interest to designers of e-business systems using agent technology. The description of the patterns is followed by the case study of an online auction system to which the patterns have been applied.

In this chapter, we discuss issues related to ehealth and focus on two major challenges in distributed healthcare database management: database heterogeneity and user mobility. We designed and prototyped a mobile-agent-based mobile data-access system framework that can address these challenges. It applies a thesaurus- based hierarchical database federation to cope with database heterogeneity and utilizes the mobile-agent technology to respond to the complications introduced by user mobility and wireless networks. The functions provided by this system are described in detail and a performance evaluation is also provided.

Mobile computing is thought as one of four technologies that have a great effect on the future. First, Analying major technology of traditional mobile agent based on JAVA, such as migration technology, communication mechanism ,and etc, a new model of mobile agent on WinCE platform of Microsoft, WinMas, is presented. Next, the advantage of the mobile agent system-WinMas by comparing with the mobile agent system-Aglet is introduced. A new migration mechanism for mobile agents, namely, the utility of RPC Serialization and the far thread insertion mechanism has proposed. Finally, Application example has given, WinMas is successfully applied to Wireless Real Time Supervisor System in Oil-gas field.

Distributed structure of programming and computing has evolved in all facets of development and spawned a new era of distributed computing. In these structures, the isolated processing nodes have been networked to form a powerful processing and communication device. Now, they need an integrated infrastructure for communication that is capable of providing and developing strong and secure mobility features. The mobile agent technology is becoming a promising solution for widely distributed systems like the Internet. Mobile agent based infrastructure is capable of forming migratory environment efficiently using the network resources. The mobile agent is software code capable of moving closer to the required resource in contrast to systems that incorporate the mobility of non-executable code only. It is also required for various agent-oriented languages to support architectural heterogeneity and less or no dependency on the previous system once an agent is transmitted to another system in the network. This paper reviews the architectural components that exist and required for agent-based systems. It also reviews various software components of universal mobile agent system and explores some aspects of migration and intercommunication of agent-oriented approaches.

Online auctions are one of the most popular and effective ways of trading goods over the Internet (Bapna, Goes, & Gupta, 2001). Thousands of items are sold on online auctions everyday including books, toys, computers, antiques, and even services. As an example, eBay (http://www.ebay. com), the largest online auction house, has more than 241 million registered users today, and in the year 2006 alone, eBay recorded consolidated net revenue of $6 billion (eBay, 2007). On any given day, there are more than 78 million items listed on eBay, and approximately 6 million listings are added per day. It has also spread its wings to other countries outside the USA, and to date it is present in 24 countries. In addition to eBay, there are more than 2,600 auction houses that conduct online auctions (common sites include Amazon. com, http://www.amazon.com; Yahoo! Auctions, http://auctions. shopping.yahoo.com; priceline.com, http://www.priceline. com; and uBid, http://www.ubid.com). These auction houses conduct many different types of auctions according to a variety of rules and protocols.
