We present an implementation of an electronic auction house inspired by the age old institution of the fish market, where both software and human agents may trade. This implementation supports fair, lively and robust bidder interactions. FM96.5 is a Java-based multi-agent environment that allows for a real-time concurrent operation of the complete fish market auction process by making use of multi-threading.

All market-owned agents are deployed through a simple layered architecture, while buyer and seller agents of arbitrary complexity are confined to the market behavioural conventions through standardized Java agent interface applets. 1 Introduction Internet is spawning many new markets. One that is particularly attractive for multiagent technologies is network-based trading. But if that market is to become an effective actual market various non-...
