In this paper, we propose a coalition formation protocol, called BSCA-P, that allows intelligent agents to negotiate game-theoretically stable coalitions for Web service trading with a maximum of individual monetary profit, while keeping certain kinds of financial data private. We show that no agent has to reveal its local service sales value and final payoff, and can achieve a certain degree of both agent and service anonymity while still successfully participating in rational coalitions. |
