Abstract: This paper proposes a mobile intelligent negotiation agent embedded and hybrid architecture based online purchasing system (MineAgeHops in short) with three emphases: agent mobility, intelligent negotiation, and hybrid architecture. Like in the physical world, a buyer agent can travel over the internet to a remote e-shop for obtaining information about a product and negotiating on the product with a seller. Human negotiation is a complex process. The evolutionary negotiation model makes an effort to reflect different negotiation levels of human with increasing knowledge and experience as time goes. A hybrid of centralised and decentralised architecture can overcome the network bottleneck problem as well as improve purchasing efficiency by enabling agent mobility and flexibility.
