Abstract
The concept of Electronic Service Brokerage is based on the use of new information technologies so as to provide a service capable of facilitating and organizing the relationship between customers and offer providers. It covers the following main features: collaborative agents for self-organizing multi-agent systems, multi-agent system for knowledge representation of the market place domain, dynamic knowledge capture for domain knowledge evolution, ACL from Fipa.
In the first part we present the requirements for Abrose in using a Multi-Agent system for Brokerage. The second part presents briefly some agent tools in electronic commerce. The following three parts develop the architectural and functional choices in order to have the learning capabilities in Abrose.
