This paper addresses the issue of developing agents capable of participating in several potentially simultaneous auctions of different kinds (English,First-Price,Vickrey), with the goal of ?nding the best price for an item on behalf of their users. Speci?cally, a multi-agent architecture is proposed, in which a anager agent cooperates with several expert agents, each specialised in a speci ?c kind of auction. The expert agents com unicate their knowledge to the manager agent in the for of probability functions, capturing the likelihood that a bid of a given price ay win an auction. Given a set of such functions, the anager agent builds a bidding plan that it executes in concert with the expert agents.
