Announcing a special issue of
Computational Intelligence:

Agent Technology for Electronic Commerce

Economic activity, accelerated via Internet connections between human buyers and sellers, is accelerated further with software agents acting on behalf of the humans. Before this agent-mediated economic activity can be adopted and used successfully by non-expert humans, technologies of different types must be advanced. Existing AI techniques are often applicable.

This special issue aims to attract researchers concerned with incorporating AI techniques into the software agents that undertake commercial activities over the Internet.
