Agent technologies have been deployed to model and implement E-commerce activities as multi-agent information systems (MAIS). Agents provide services to one another for mutual gain on behalf of their users. This paper presents an MAIS infrastructure based on belief-desire-intension (BDI) agent architecture, constraint technology, and contemporary Web Services to facilitate negotiation support. Further, the MAIS infrastructure also supports customizable degree of agent delegation for users on different platforms, with or without agent support. We present a constraint-based negotiation protocol extended for a MAIS environment and detail the required adaptations on different platforms from a three-tier implementation architecture aspect.
