Summary
Barter 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.
