In this book, negotiation capabilities for software agents in continuous double auctions (CDAs) are a central concern. Agents need to be able to prepare bids for and evaluate offers on behalf of the users they represent with the aim of obtaining the maximum benefit for their users. For the agents, their bids are decided according to some bidding strategies. However, in CDAs, it is a complex decision problem because of the inherent uncertainty and dynamics of the auction market. Hence, in this book, we provide a new bidding strategy for agents to adopt in CDAs and propose some generally used tools to enhance the performance of existing bidding strategies in CDAs. The superior performance of the new bidding strategy and the tools proposed by us is illustrated through extensive experiments. First book to focus on continuous double auctions (CDAs) where a limited amount of seller agents and buyer agents trade what they want First time to propose some generally used tools which are shown to improve the performance of various existing bidding strategies in CDAs Gives a systematic way to describe how to design experiments for agent based CDAs INDICE: Introduction.- Agent based CDAs and bidding strategies.- The adaptive attitude bidding strategy.- Soft asks and soft bids.- Adaptive judgement of price acceptability.- Adaptive time strategies.- Conclusions and future work.
