Within these scope mechanisms called electronic trading protocols are handled, representing the patterns or set of rules that model the possible interactions in the system. This investigation is aimed at improving the electronic auction process through the use of electronic trading protocols in Multi-Agent Systems. As part of the paper submitted evaluations of some quality metrics are described and evaluated, in order to analyze the relevance of the application of certain electronic trading protocols in Multi-Agent environments. The metrics chosen are associated with the quality criteria: Rapidness, Efficiency, Scalability and Completeness. Two of the Trading protocols most known and defined by Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) were used to obtain important results: FIPA English-Auction and FIPA Dutch-Auction. In conclusion, Multi-Agent Trading Systems are a very effective alternative to take into account in those environments in which it is necessary to choose a Trading algorithm or strategy depending on certain circumstances.]]></p></abstract>

Dentro de este alcance, se manejan mecanismos llamados protocolos de comercio electrónico, que representan los patrones o el conjunto de reglas que modelan las posibles interacciones en el sistema. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo mejorar el proceso de subasta electrónica mediante el uso de protocolos de comercio electrónico en sistemas multiagentes. Como parte del documento presentado, se describen y evalúan algunas métricas de calidad, con el fin de analizar la relevancia de la aplicación de ciertos protocolos de comercio electrónico en dichos entornos. Las métricas elegidas están asociadas con los criterios de calidad: Rapidez, Eficiencia, Escalabilidad e Integridad. Se obtuvieron dos de los protocolos de negociación más conocidos y definidos por la Fundación para Agentes Físicos Inteligentes (FIPA) para obtener resultados importantes: FIPA English-Auction y FIPA Dutch-Auction. En conclusión, los sistemas de negociación de multiagentes son una alternativa muy efectiva a tener en cuenta en aquellos entornos en los que es necesario elegir un algoritmo o estrategia de negociación dependiendo de ciertas circunstancias.]]></p></abstract>
