Project code: ASTA
Research group: Multi-agent and Adaptive Computation (SEN4)

Project coordinator: Han La Poutré

The Autonomous Systems of Trade Agents in E-Commerce (ASTA) project concerns research on systems of trading software agents ("trade agents'') in electronic commerce. Principle research lines are relating agent technologies to feasible e-commerce application areas and the development of a modeling and code generation system for this relation; the construction of computer-aided adaptive trade agent strategies and implicit learning systems for interaction and transaction (like negotiation and profiling), with the investigation of emergent behaviour of trade agent systems in e-commerce; and the development of experimental prototypes, practical experience and solutions, and guidelines for application of agent systems in actual commercial situations.

The ASTA project is funded by the Telematics institute.
