The rapid increase of E-commerce market requires a solution to assist the buyer to find his or her interested items. The intelligent agent model is one of the approaches to help the buyers in purchasing items in outline market. In this paper, the user query processing model in the item recommendation agent is proposed. In the proposed model, the retrieval result is affected by the automatically generated queries from user preference information as well as the queries explicitly given by user. Therefore, the proposed model can provide the customized search results to each user.

With the proliferation of E-Commerce, product informations and services are provided to customers diversely. Thus customers want a software agent that can retrieve and recommend goods satisfying various purchase conditions as well as price. In this paper, we present a MAS (multi-agent system) for book information retrieval and recommendation in E-Commerce. User's preference is reflected in the MAS using the profile which is taken by user. The proposed MAS is composed of individual agents that support information retrieval, information recommendation, user interface, and web robots and a coordination agent which performs information sharing and job management between individual agents. Our goal is to design and implement this multi-agent system on a Windows NT server. Owing to the workflow management of the coordination agent, we can remove redundant information retrievals of web robots. From the results, we could provide customers various purchase conditions for several online bookstores in real-time.

E-commerce customers can reduce purchasing cost by the help of comparison shopping agents that collect price information of products in the shopping malls. However, user expects a software agent that can recommend product information satisfying various purchase conditions besides price. In this paper, we present a MAS (multi-agent system) which retrieves and recommends book information suitable for various user needs to realize an agent-based E-Commerce. We implemented and tested our MAS to help on-line bookstore customers. From the results, we could provide E-commerce customers various book purchase conditions for several online bookstores in real-time.

최근 웹에 대한 관심이 집중되면서 정보의 양이 지수적으로 증가하고 있다. 웹 사용자들은 정보 검색에 있어서 많은 어려움을 겪게 되었다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 정보검색(Information Retrieval) 시스템의 웹 환경으로의 적용이나 개인 적응형 에이전트(Personal Adaptive Agent)를 이용한 정보 여과(Information Filtering)에 대한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 BISAgent(Bookmark Information sharing Agent) 시스템이 사용자에게 효과적인 정보 검색을 제공함을 설명한다. BISAgent는 여러 사용자의 북마크 정보를 공유하여 협동적 정보 여과기법(Collaborative Filtering)을 이용한 협동적 웹 브라우징(Collaborative Web Browsing)을 수행한다. 이 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해 검색 결과의 개수를 통한 정보 여과의 양적 측면과 통계적 방법을 이용하여 정보 추천(information recommendation)의 정확성을 실험하였다.

It is very important that sellers provide reasonable reserve prices for auction items in internet auction systems. Recently, an agent has been proposed to generate reserve prices automatically based on the case similarity of information retrieval theory and the moving average of time series analysis. However, one problem of the previous approaches is that the recent trend of auction prices is not well reflected on the generated reserve prices, because it simply provides the bid price of the most similar item or an average price of some similar items using the past auction data. In this paper. in order to overcome the problem. we propose a method that generates reserve prices based on the moving average. the exponential smoothing, and the least square of time series analysis. Through performance experiments. we show that the successful bid rate of the new method can be increased by preventing sellers from making unreasonable reserve prices compared with the previous methods.
