Abstract

<p> Online&hyphen;auctions are one of the most successful types of electronic markets. They bring together buyers and sellers on a massive scale. However, using an electronic medium for conducting auctions has fundamental differences from traditional English&hyphen;style auctions. One difference is the availability of software agents that can facilitate many aspects of online&hyphen;auction participation. The addition of software agents into online&hyphen;auctions is already having an impact on the dynamics of online&hyphen;auctions. This study examines existing agent technologies with regard to their effect on online&hyphen;auctions. In addition, future directions for research related to online&hyphen;auction agents and the possible benefits of these agents are also discussed.</p>
