Abstract :
In this paper we discuss experimental results obtained with a prototype implementation of an agent-based service for generic auctions that is currently under development. We configured the service to allow parallel execution of multiple English auctions with buyer and seller agents bidding from different machines. The experimental results to assess the performance of the service include latency and throughput of the service as functions of the number of participants and the number of simultaneously active auctions.
