TL;DR
This demonstration (TSCYOO) will illustrate the economic incentives behind formation of buying clubs and the effect of effect of economies of scale within temporary agent coalitions.

Kasbah: An Agent Marketplace for Buying and Selling Goods
756 Citations1997Anthony Chavez, Pattie Maes
How Kasbah works is described, a system where users create autonomous agents to buy and sell goods on their behalf and the implementation of a simple proof-of-concept prototype is discussed.

Issues in automated negotiation and electronic commerce: extending the contract net framework
326 Citations1997Tüomas Sandholm, Victor Lesser
A number of previously unaddressed issues that arise in automated negot/ation among self-interested agents whose rationality is bounded by computational complexity are discussed, and the implications of bounded rationality are analysed.

Scholarworks (University of Massachusetts Amherst)Negotiation among self-interested computationally limited agents
155 Citations1996Tüomas Sandholm, Victor Lesser
This dissertation analyses negotiations among agents that try to maximize payoff without concern of the global good, where computational limitations restrict each agent's rationality: in combinatorial negotiation domains computational complexity precludes enumerating and evaluating all possible outcomes.
Journal of Intelligent Information SystemsIntelligent Adaptive Information Agents
153 Citations1997Keith Decker, Katia Sycara
This paper develops a multi-agent distributed system infrastructure, RETSINA (REusable Task Structure-based Intelligent Network Agents) that handles adaptation in an open Internet environment and focuses on the adaptive architecture of the information agents.
Lecture notes in computer scienceCooperative vs. Competitive multi-agent negotiations in retail electronic commerce
150 Citations1998Robert Guttman, Pattie Maes
It is suggested that online auction protocols are, in fact, less efficient and more hostile than would be expected (or desired) in retail markets.
Designing behaviors for information agents
131 Citations1997Keith Decker, Anandeep Pannu +2 more
A set of architectural building blocks that support the specification of behaviors for these information agents in a way that allows periodic actions, interleaving of planning and execution, and the concurrent activation of multiple behaviors with asynchronous components are discussed.
Lecture notes in computer scienceMulti-agent coordination through coalition formation
108 Citations1998Onn Shehory, Katia Sycara +1 more
The problems that arise when attempting to utilize the theoretical coalition formation algorithms for a real-world system are presented, how some of their restrictive assumptions can be relaxed are demonstrated, and the resulting benefits are discussed.
