Abstract

Improving the efficiency of e-business usage requires the further development of automation techniques for interorganizational business processes as a major driver. Automation can be employed at various stages and application areas of e-business. The innovative concepts and enabling technologies we argue for in this context are automated negotiation, dynamic interoperability between standards, completeness, trust between business partners and graded anonymity. These agent-oriented areas strongly contribute to automated systems in e-business and their acceptance by users. We conclude with the presentation of the relationship between current agent technology and the suggested basic concepts for the automation of e-business
