The migration of business enterprises to decentralized operations, location independence, and micromanagement has been accompanied by the emergence of different computing paradigms, enterprise architectures, and communication platforms. Software agents perform some tasks on behalf of their users, other agents, or programs with some degree of autonomy using multiple information and communication platforms. The use of wireless devices and networks has significantly improved information transmission and transaction processing in support of virtual and physical mobility and the acquisition, customization, and use of context specific information for electronic and mobile shopping, finance, banking, and payment services.

Business To Business

The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) allowed the enterprises to adopt an e-marketplace approach to Business to Business (B2B) applications. In particular, these kind of applications are demonstrating their capacity to provide real added value to manufacturing industries by allowing their global performance to increase. The implementation of the e-marketplace by firms is not considered an easy job because of the lack of automation: the human participation is still in all stages of the B2B process. The chapter proposes a three value added services: workflow design, Multi Agent System and negotiation approach. In particular, two negotiation, an auction and single round approaches with three customer behaviors are proposed. A simulation environment is developed in order to test the proposed approaches. The simulations have been conducted in several scenarios in order to highlight what is the best approach to perform.
