Commitment-based negotiation semantics for accountability in multi-agent systems

Abstract Negotiation is a key form of interaction in multi-agent systems. enables agents to come mutual agreement about goal or plan action. Current negotiation approaches use traditional protocols which do not capture the normative meaning interactions and often restrict agent autonomy. These also have difficulty specifying accountability. This paper seeks address this gap maintaining autonomy capturing accountability during through commitments. We propose Nala , commitment-based semantics. uses commitments provide interactions.
