Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6276))

Abstract

In this article we propose an agent-based solution for enabling paradigm shift from CRM (Customer Relationship Management) to CMR (Customer-Managed Relationship). Namely, Telco Agent is a software agent which represents telecom operator in interactions with its customers. Customers provide Telco Agent with their profiles and afterwards Telco Agent uses its mechanisms for semantic matchmaking of customer profiles and creation of customer social network to facilitate autonomous CMR.
