The system consists of semantic and mobile agents responsible for autonomous service discovery, automated negotiation and automated purchase. Specific concepts and ontologies used for creating semantic information and agent interactions, as well as mechanisms that provide the ability of semantic reasoning, are presented. A case study elaborates upon the developed agent-mediated e-market operations and interactions between agents during the transactions simulated in the business process of Multimedia Service.
