Online auctions are gaining popularity as they provide an excellent means of selling goods. Their advantages in- clude: reducing transaction costs, selling goods that are difficult to sell through the ordinary market channels, and increasing the circle of potential customers.

... Online auctions are rapidly gaining popularity [15]. Online auction systems are classified base on different aspects such as: bid definition, specification of auction rules, and definition of transactions. ...
... Previous work have also proposed ontologies in the negotiation domain [14,15,16], and have been extended to the auction domain, but we have not found a specific ontology in the auction domain. We have modelled a basic ontology based mainly on the auction patterns proposed by Ré [17], the research survey on auctions by Parsons et al. [1] and the ontology for the agent trading competition developed by Wellman [18]. The core structure of the proposed ontology AUPA is shown in fig. 3. The main concepts of this ontology are AuctionHouse, Auction, Participant, AuctionProtocol and AuctionProperty. ...
... Ré et. al. [17] propose auction patterns from an object oriented perspective. In the field of multiagent systms, Oluyomi [19] proposes a classification scheme for agent oriented patterns which is applied to a relevant number of agent patterns. ...
Knowledge and best practices on auction systems are cur-rently disseminated across the research literature, which limits its access, reuse, evaluation and feedback by practitioners. This article presents a systematic approach to collect this knowledge as design patterns, in order to provide assistance to software developers. An ontology has been de-fined for formalising design patterns in auction systems, with the aim of improving its searchability by software developers. Finally, a case study illustrates how the proposed pattern ontology provides assistance in the development of a dynamic pricing model for an e-commerce service.

A pattern language for the rehabilitation clinics management systems domain SiGCli (Sistemas de Gerenciamento de Clinicas, in portuguese) is proposed. It has been elicited by the application of a reverse engineering process to three legacy systems, for the domain study, that can be considered as a business resource management sub-domain. The use of SiGCli helps in developing systems that follow and report the evolution of a person that looks for a certain type of rehabilitation treatment or to improve his physical condition. As a case study, the pattern language is applied to one of the legacy systems that served as a base for the domain study and its class diagram is presented.
Today high volume of goods and services is being traded us-ing online auction systems. The growth in size and complexity of archi-tectures to support online auctions requires the use of distributed and cooperative software techniques. In this context, the agent software de-velopment paradigm seems appropriate both for their modelling, devel-opment and implementation. This paper proposes an agent-oriented pat-terns analysis of best practices for online auction. The patterns are in-tended to help both IT managers and software engineers during the re-quirement specification of an on-line auction system while integrating benefits of agent software engineering.

An electronic marketplace supports interactions between multiple users for the exchange of information on products for sale
or purchase. The significance of electronic marketplaces is apparent from the huge number of websites that currently provide
services in almost any area one can think of. However, the absence of clear documentation on the similarities that these sites
share restricts the reutilization of software for the development of new electronic marketplaces. To improve this situation,
we propose a platform independent model (PIM) for the e-marketplace domain that describes both the structural and behavioral
properties of a generic electronic marketplace. Specific application PIMs aimed at generating different e-marketplaces can
be obtained from our generic domain PIM by adapting it to the requirements of each particular application. In this way, reutilization
of our domain PIM contributes to a reduction in the cost and time involved in the development of new electronic marketplaces.
