Abstract: The main goal of the research that preliminary results have been presented in
this paper is to develop an agent–oriented electronic marketplace for modeling and
simulation of dynamic pricing models, i.e. models in which the price of the item is allowed
to fluctuate as supply and demand in a market change. The work provides an overview of
forms of dynamic pricing models, with particular emphasis on auctions. After that,
the main rationale behind using Multi-agent Systems approach for modeling and
simulation of complex business structures has been shown. Then the development
process of an electronic marketplace, including agents’ architecture as well as
implementation environment selection, structure and business logic of e-marketplace
have been presented. Last part of the paper comprises conclusions and further research
plans.
