AATP: Auction Agent Transfer Protocol

This paper presents the Auction Agent Transfer Protocol (AATP) as a standard architecture to facilitate the exchange of commodity goods and services directly between buyers and suppliers in the business-to-business e-commerce space. The protocol is implemented by utilizing the automated services of interface, stationary, and mobile intelligent agents in a global networked environment. Technical features of the well-established Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) model are also borrowed to enhance functionality of AATP. AATP is presented here as a new and emerging technology, based on years of academic and government research. The focus of AATP is to remove the recently surfaced digital intermediaries (i.e. Chemdex, FreeMarkets) from electronic procurement systems, and thereby increase savings for buyers and global reach for suppliers.
