PASTRANA DAVID, MARCELA  and  OVALLE CARRANZA, DEMETRIO ARTURO. COMPARISON METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC NEGOTIATION PROTOCOLS USING QUALITY METRICS IN MULTI-AGENT ENVIRONMENTS. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2008, vol.75, n.154, pp.231-240. ISSN 0012-7353.

This paper aim at defining a comparison method based on the application of quality metrics which are proposed for measuring electronic negotiation protocols in Multi-Agent environments. In order to make a formal comparison several quality criteria were taken into account: Speediness, Efficiency, Scalability and Completeness. Then, to apply and validate the proposed method for comparing electronic protocols two prototypes based on English auction and Dutch auction were built. For doing so, JADE (Java Agents DEvelopment Framework) platform was used and preliminary results on their behavior were obtained. Those results were finally analyzed and corresponding conclusions were provided.

Keywords : Intelligent Systems; Electronic Negotiation Protocols; Quality Metrics; Comparison Method for Multi-Agent Protocols; English Auction; Dutch Auction.
