碩士 === 中原大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 93 === The ebXML is one of the most important frameworks for electronic commerce disciplines. Before trading, business partners have proposed the collaboration protocol profile (CPP) to describe their business capabilities. In practice, two enterprises base on their CPP to negotiate an agreement in terms of a collaboration protocol agreement (CPA). Currently the negotiation process is highly human-intensive that causes some problematic such as time consuming and error prone. Since ebXML intend to provide automated business framework, the efficient performance in preprocess of ebXML framework is essential. This study proposes a synergy approach based on the agent mechanism. The core architecture of the agent utilizes the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) to construct rules and actions in terms of the negotiation protocol. The BDI is intention centered that facilitates the internal design becoming consequence-reason. The study provides a walkthrough example to verify BDI-based agents in negotiation. The empirical feedbacks indicate that BDI has advantages in reducing the complexity of negotiation protocol and raising negotiation performance.
