Abstract: Stockbot is a software agent designed for the task of monitoring an electronic stock market in order to execute investor purchase or sale orders. Stockbot represents a tool for managing the dynamical complexity of electronic stock markets by establishing a virtual portfolio manager. Its main goal is to exhibit a behaviour which is a timely, continuous, dynamical response to changes in the market situations in accordance to the user profile and goals. The software agent maintains and dynamically updates a user model which records histories of previous user orders, patterns of user observed behaviour, and user preferences and goals. The software architecture integrates conventional and knowledge‐based software technologies such as conditional and iterative planning, continuous conditions monitoring, robust failure management, inter‐agent communication primitives and events networks. A Dynamical Query Language is used to describe stockbot behaviour. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
