Abstract:
While there are many Web services which help users find things to buy, we know of none which actually try to automate the process of buying and selling. Kasbah is a virtual marketplace on the Web where users create autonomous agents to buy and sell goods on their behalf. Users specify parameters to guide and constrain an agent's overall behavior. A simple prototype has been built to test the viability of this concept.
