RESUMO
Among hundred of auction sites in the internet, some of them offer services powered by software agents that search auctions, monitor them and/or submit bids in these auctions. However, most of these systems are concerned about just one auction, instead of acting in multiple simultaneous auctions. The possibility of acting in multiple auctions is very important, because it makes possible to get better economical results. But if the number of auctions grows very much, it can become very hard (or even impossible) to a human being to monitor and bid in these auctions. That can make the use of software agents very useful. We propose a infrastructure that makes easier the construction of bidder agents that works with eMediator (Sandholm, 2000) system and new bidding strategies. We call this infrastructure AAS (Auction Agent System). This system adds value to researchers of multiple simultaneous auctions bidding strategies.
