    Agent orientation as a modelling paradigm
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 43, No. 2, 2001) Yu, Eric
    SummaryRequirements analysis is a crucial step in systems development. Today’s systems are increasingly more diverse, more dispersed yet interconnected, more fluid and constantly evolving. Traditional modelling and analysis techniques based on mechanistic principles and assumptions are inadequate for dealing with the complexity and dynamism of the new environment. In the requirements engineering area, new techniques are being developed based on social conceptions of complex systems. They offer richer concepts for analyzing user needs and stakeholder wants, for discovering and exploring alternatives, and for assessing their viability. This paper argues for a modelling approach where agents have intentionality, autonomy, sociality, contingent identity and boundaries, strategic reflectivity, and rational self-interest.

    Elektronische Unterstützung und Automatisierung von Verhandlungen
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 43, No. 6, 2001) Rebstock, Michael
    We analyze and discuss the state-of-the-art in electronic negotiations. Scientific projects as well as business applications are included into our survey. For our analysis, we use protocol category, degree of automation, number of attributes, number of positions, number of negotiations and mediation type as classification criteria. Projects are categorized and evaluated using these criteria. We find that the focus of application development and the needs of business practice differ. Three major challenges for electronic negotiations theory and practice are identified: degree of automation, application integration and semantic variety.

    Hayeks Katallaxie — Ein zukunftsweisendes Konzept für die Wirtschaftsinformatik?
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 45, No. 5, 2003) Eymann, Torsten; Sackmann, Stefan; Müller, Günter
    The mobile and increasingly ubiquitous use of information technology leads to more dynamic, constantly self-reconfiguring networks. Their services are available anytime and anywhere; as software agents, they can make local, context-aware decisions. F. A. von Hayek developed a theory for economic coordination based on individual decision making. This paper presents the explanation concepts of economic self-organisation as at least one option for the design of decentralized coordination of information systems consisting of autonomous software agents with limited information processing capacity and incomplete information. Experiments using a multi-agent system show that a targeted change of this basic rule set directly influences the behaviour of the individual elements and indirectly the behaviour of the overall system.

    Kooperierende intelligente Softwareagenten
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 44, No. 1, 2002) Kirn, Stefan
    This paper introduces to the reader the field of cooperating intelligent software agents. It first reviews the historical roots of Distributed AI, and the main concepts that have been developed in that field since the end of the seventies, and on which today’s agent technology is based upon. The paper then concentrates on the modeling of agents. Starting with a terminological discussion of what agents are, and with an example the main characteristics of cooperating intelligent agents are presented, formalized, and discussed. Based upon this the paper proceeds to issues that are relevant to multiagent systems: coordination, communication, and standardization. The paper concludes with a sum-up of the main results, and an extensive bibliography.
