It is very useful for designing more flexible multi-agent systems (MAS) to develop cooperation computing architecture that can make agents of MAS with related purpose, which are on aware of each other before interactions, cooperative work. The paper presents a market-based cooperation computing model to deal with the dynamic cooperation problem for a kind of MAS. There is a information service market for the model. Any agent can introduce itself to a well known agent, manager of the information service market at run time. The manager can make the agents with related purpose directly or indirectly interact with each other cooperatively, the paper discusses typical structures of market-based cooperation computing, analyzes agent communication language and protocol for market-based cooperation computing based on speech act theory, and discusses some implementation problem of market-based cooperation computing.
