Abstract
An open service trading system (10) and method therein enables the reselling of services among brokers (18), resellers (16) and service providers (14) to service subscribers (12). The service trading system (10) comprises domain specific knowledge bases (22a-40a) constrained by respective ontology domains (22b-40b), where the ontology domains (22b-40b) together define a service trading ontology structure. In addition, rational agents (42-70) are each committed to one or more of the domain specific knowledge bases (22a-40a) to enable interaction with others of the rational agents to achieve associated participant trading goals as defined within the service trading ontology structure.
Claims20
A service trading system comprising:
- ontology domains together defining a service trading ontology structure;
- domain specific knowledge bases respectively constrained by one or more of the ontology domains;
- and
- rational agents, each being committed to one or more of the domain specific knowledge bases to thereby enable interaction with others of the rational agents to achieve associated participant trading goals as defined within the service trading ontology structure.
A method of dynamically negotiating in an open service trading system, comprising:
- receiving, at a rational agent, a participant negotiation request;
- deliberating about and determining a current action plan based on means/end logical reasoning in view of system and participant constraints imposed through knowledge base ontology domains;
- matching candidate participant trades that could achieve individual participant objectives;
- interacting with other rational agents based on the current action plan;
- and
- deciding upon negotiated parameters as a result of the interacting with other rational agents based on the current action plan.
