Abstract

TAC-RMTO is a multi-agent-based game that extends and enhances the trading agent competition (TAC) scenario to work in remanufacturing area. The game is a configurable Internet-mediated remanufacture-to-order (RMTO) platform that supports both human and software agents to interact. The main feature of the TAC-RMTO game is that it supports the design, development and execution of RMTO market scenarios involving auctions analogous to those of the TAC by third parties. Thus this platform can be used for conducting research on RMTO related markets analysis and strategies design as well as for educational purposes.
