Successful e-commerce presupposes techniques by which autonomous trading entities can interoperate. Although progress has been made on data exchange and payment protocols, interoperation in the face of autonomy is still inadequately understood. Current techniques, designed for closed environments, support only the simplest interactions. We develop a multiagent approach for interoperation of business process in e-commerce. This approach consists of(1)a behavioral model to specify autonomous, heterogeneous agents representing different trading entities(businesses, consumers, brokers), (2)a metamodel that provides a language (based on XML)for specifying a variety of service agreements and accommodating exceptions and revisions, and(3)an execution architecture that supports persistent and dynamic(re)execution.
