Negotiation among Autonomous Computational Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous agents are being increasingly used in a wide range of applications. Most applications involve or require multiple agents operating in complex environments and, over time, conflicts inevitably occur among them. Negotiation is the predominant process for resolving conflicts. Recent interest in electronic commerce has also given increased importance to negotiation. This paper presents a generic negotiation model for autonomous agents that handles multi-party, multi-issue and repeated rounds. The model is based on computationally tractable assumptions.

Negotiation Strategies for Autonomous Computational Agents
Autonomous agents operate in complex environments and, over time, conflicts inevitably occur among them. Negotiation is the predominant process for resolving conflicts. This paper presents a generic negotiation model for autonomous agents that handles multiparty, multi-issue and repeated rounds. The model is based on computationally tractable assumptions, accounts for a tight integration of the...
متن کاملNegotiation Among Groups of Autonomous Computational Agents
A negotiation mechanisms is presented for a real world problem of task distribution among a set of autonomous computational agents within a business process. The mechanism formally represents the protocol of agent interactions, the set of negotiation issues which agents negotiate over and the tactical and strategic reasoning procedures involved in negotiation decision making of an agent. Prelim...
متن کاملA negotiation model for autonomous computational agents: Formal description and empirical evaluation
Autonomous agents are being used in an increasing number of applications. The agents operate in complex environments and, over time, conflicts inevitably occur among them. Negotiation is the predominant process for resolving conflicts. This paper presents a generic negotiation model for autonomous agents that handles multi-party, multi-issue and single or repeated rounds. The model is based on ...
متن کاملOptimizing complex automated negotiation using sparse pseudo-input gaussian processes
Complex negotiations among rational autonomous agents is gaining a mass of attention due to the diversity of its possible applications. This paper deals with a prominent type of complex negotiations, namely, multi-issue negotiation that runs under realtime constraints and in which the negotiating agents have no prior knowledge about their opponents’ preferences and strategies. We propose a nove...
متن کاملProgressive Multi-Agent Negotiation
This research is concerned with coordination among autonomous agents in cooperative domains where, de.spite conflicting interests, agents can always negotiate to increase their mutual benefits. We introduce a multi-agent negotiation model to model explicitly the negotiation process, and a monotonic negotiation protocol to ensure convergence. Particularly, tile model formalizes progressive negot...
