Abstract
"Most of existing multicriteria auctions systems are very demanding in terms of preference parameters, which requires a considerable cognitive effort from the buyer. In this paper, we propose an auction approach that relies on a combination between Agent systems and dominance relation-based ranking procedure, allowing a buyer agent to manage automatic preference-based English reverse and adaptive auctions. The ranking procedure is based on the dominance relation, which is the most elementary preference information. Within the proposed approach, no aggregation is needed and the ranking procedure will not ask any additional information from the buyer, permitting thus to considerably reduce his/her cognitive effort."
