The developed framework builds on two well known formal models of teamwork namely, the Joint Intentions Theory proposed by P. Cohen and H. Levesque and the Cooperative Problem Solving Model by M. Wooldridge and N. Jennings, and builds on layered agent conversational model defined by M. Nowostawski, M. Purvis and S. Cranefield. Rather than assuming specific agent architecture, the developed collaboration framework develops a set of specifications that an agent should follow in order to guarantee its success as a team member. In this sense, the proposed approach focuses on creating a high-level collaboration protocol for developing and maintaining a mutual understanding and a shared view of teamwork. In addition, the developed framework is transparent to agent architecture, organization and interaction protocols, enabling it to be used in different domains and on several platforms, and allowing integration with various agent development environments, and allowing interoperability between agents having different agent architectures. The developed framework maintains a clear separation between the conceptual model, defined once, and the possible model implementation, where implementations introduce details of messaging, ontology, communication and interaction. In this research, we propose and implement a framework that we utilize in the development and implementation of the case study, which is the problem of performing trade exchange and settlement between a team of trading agents.

Applications of e-commerce are characterized as consisting of a number of distributed heterogeneous entities operating in dynamic environments. In this paper, building on top of an open framework for multiagent collaboration, we study collaboration between trade entities performing a trade purchase transaction.
