Client Side
Human users use a standard
web browser to remotely
participate in the experiments.
The web application is a
friendly-user interface of the eI
environment.
A platform for hybrid experiments
A Study Case: Dynamic Auctions
It allows remote access of human
users to electronic institutions
providing flexible and standard
client applications for this access.
Study the effect of reputation
information in competitive online
auctions.
Using Islander, the appropriate
electronic institution was
designed.

Electronic Institution
Electronic Institution
It defines the shared space and
the interaction protocols for the
experiments. Virtual agents (EAgents) and human agents
(represented as I-Agent) interact
in such environment.
I-Agents act both as a
servlet and E-Agents.
They are the link
between humans and
the eI.
Database
Human actions and events
in the eI are stored in a
database for a posterior
analysis
Experiment settings and virtual
agent strategies can be
completely specified in XML
format.
The web interface was
designed imitating the look
and field of markplatz or eBay
