TL;DR
It is suggested that a knowledge-based system enabling argumentation would solve several difficulties which exist in current electronic market systems and would solve the task allocation problem.
Abstract
We identify several difficulties which exist in current electronic market systems and suggest that a knowledge-based system enabling argumentation would solve these problems. We put forward some ideas for how such a system would be designed and operated for the task allocation problem.
