Online autonomous auction model based on agent

Auction is a typical commercial activity. Online autonomous auction based on agent is a rising research field in electronic commerce and has a broad application foreground. Most researches focus on the mechanisms and strategies of auction but neglect the study of other key issues in building online autonomous auction system, such as locating the auction hall and the cooperation between trade partners. So the paper investigates these questions based on mobile agent technology and game theory. In the paper an autonomous online auction model is brought forward and implemented, which supports two auction mechanisms of first price sealed-bid auction and double auction, and the linear bidding strategy of the two auction mechanisms is also given.
