One of the most retarding factors of the spreading of e-commerce is the fact that potential customers can find the required products on the Internet in a quite difficult way. Electronic agents are intended to solve this problem. My purpose was to create an effective electronic agent. I did it by considering the product as a service, which can be found by the SLP service discovery protocol. I developed the software as an implementation of the model. The user can get information quickly about a certain product with this software. I would like to demonstrate the usage of this model and possible further developments.
