Software Agents in New Generation Networks: Towards the Automation of Telecom Processes

摘要: Today, there is a wide variety of telecom services available provided by number competing stakeholders in the environment. Consequently, consumers such an environment require efficient mechanisms to match their demands (requested services) supplies (available services). Businesses, on other hand, aim achieve allocation resources. This chapter introduces combination Artificial Intelligence and Computational Economics concepts as means solving above mentioned problems. These are implemented agent-based electronic markets. Electronic markets function digital intermediaries that create value bringing providers together transactional immediacy supply liquidity, supporting exchange demand information, reducing transaction costs. The efficiency created multi-agent system realized applying novel discovery and/or negotiation models.
