The agent technology plays a diverse role in the networked society On the one hand, agents may be intelligent surrogates that work on behalf of the user This type of agents includes intelligent brokers that seek best match between service providers and consumers, intelligent traders that buy and sell goods on behalf of the user, intelligent decision makers that negotiate contracts for the user, and. ..
