improving agent performance for multi-resource negotiation using learning automata and case-based reasoning

چکیده
in electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. in order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. in multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. in recent years, negotiation has been employed to allocate resources in multi-agent systems. yet, in most of the conventional methods, negotiation is done without considering past experiments. in this paper, in order to use experiments of agents, a hybrid method is used which employed case-based reasoning and learning automata in negotiation. in the proposed method, the buyer agent would determine its seller and its offered price based on the passed experiments and then an offer would be made. afterwards, the seller would choose one of the allowed actions using learning automata. results of the experiments indicated that the proposed algorithm has caused an improvement in some performance measures such as success rate.

متن کاملMulti-Agent, Multi-Case-Based Reasoning
A new paradigm for case-based reasoning described here assembles a set of cases similar to a new case, solicits the opinions of multiple agents on them, and then combines their output to predict for a new case. We describe the general approach, along with lessons learned and issues identified. One application of the paradigm schedules constraint satisfaction solvers for parallel processing, bas...
متن کاملCARDS: Case-Based Reasoning Decision Support Mechanism for Multi-Agent Negotiation in Mobile Commerce
Recent advent of mobile commerce or m-commerce suggests a need to incorporate intelligent techniques capable of providing decision support consistent with past instances as well as coordination support for conflicting goals and preferences among mobile users. Since m-commerce allows users to move around while doing business transactions, it seems imperative for the m-commerce users to be given ...
متن کاملResource Allocation in Construction Scheduling based on Multi- Agent Negotiation
Computerized project management in construction is traditionally based on precedence diagrams such as PERT or CPM. Resources required for the execution of activities are usually scarce and therefore provide additional constraints to the predecessor-successor relationships. The objective of this NPhard problem, which is also known as Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP), is to...
متن کاملPreferences and Learning in Multi-Agent Negotiation
In online, dynamic environments, the service requested by consumers may not be readily served by the producers. This requires the consumers and producers to negotiate on the content of the service. To automate this process, agents play a key role in e-commerce. As far as the agents’ negotiation strategies are concerned, understanding and reasoning on their users’ preferences are important to ge...
متن کاملImproving a Distributed Case-Based Reasoning System Using Introspective Learning
This paper describes the improvements to a fielded case-based reasoning (CBR) system. The system, called “Really Cool Air” is a distributed application that supports engineering sales staff. The application operates on the world wide web and uses the XML standard as a communications protocol between client and server side Java applets. The paper briefly describes the distributed architecture of...
