Abstract

This paper presents UbiBay, a self-organizing distributed auction system using a mobile multihop ad-hoc network as its sole communication platform. In order to substantially increase the probability that negotiating peers successfully reach an agreement, communication is focused on a static geographic area, called the marketplace. Users are not constrained to be at the marketplace physically, but are allowed to utilize other ones mobile devices located at the marketplace to let a software agent negotiate with others on their behalf. The negotiation protocols of UbiBay as well as a middleware architecture for applications based on the marketplace metaphor are described in this work.
