  abstract =	 {In this paper, we discuss the design of algorithms
                  for agents to use when participating in multiple
                  simultaneous English auctions, aiming to purchase
                  multiple goods. Firstly, we present a coordination
                  algorithm, which ensures the agent places
                  appropriate bids in the different auctions to buy
                  exactly the right number of goods. Secondly, we
                  combine this with an algorithm to determine what
                  maximum bid an agent should place in an auction
                  which is about to terminate. This algorithm combines
                  a belief-based model of the auctions with a utility
                  analysis. This analysis is to trade off the certain
                  outcome of the terminating auction against the
                  possible outcomes of the remaining auctions, and
                  hence place appropriate bids in each.},
