Enginnering a BDI Agent-based Semantic e-Barter System

2017 International Conference on Computer Science and Engineering (UBMK) -- OCT 05-08, 2017 -- Antalya, TURKEYWOS: 000426856900203Barter system is an alternative commerce approach where customers meet at a marketplace in order to exchange their goods or services without currency. E-barter systems, also gain attention with the rise of e-commerce. Barterers search databases for goods and services they need. In this paper, the integration of ontology and agent systems is proposed as a solution for searching in diverse barter databases semantically and bargaining on behalf of the customers. Systematic design of the semantic e-barter system based on the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents is performed with using Prometheus methodology. The system is implemented on JACK intelligent agent platform. The implemented system is benefited from matchmaking reasoning by employing ontologies.IEEE Adv Technol Human, Istanbul Teknik Univ, Gazi Univ, Atilim Univ, TBV, Akdeniz Univ, Tmmob Bilgisayar Muhendisleri Odas
