Abstract :
Autonomous agent often work and cooperate together to achieve their common and individual goals under competing and complex environment in multi-agent system. Auction bidding is an efficient method to allocate resource and time is frequently a key factor. A time-related auction bidding model was created in this paper. In a creative way, time parameter was introduced into the process of auction bidding in multi-agent system. Buyer agents were able to choose several time-related bidding tactics. A simulating computing example was given. Some important results were found. The winning buyer agent received different utilities according with time changing.
