A Service-Oriented Negotiation Model between Autonomous Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a formal model of negotiation between autonomous agents. The purpose of the negotiation is to reach an agreement about the provision of a service by one agent for another. The model defines a range of strategies and tactics that agents can employ to generate initial offers, evaluate proposals and offer counter proposals. The model is based on computationally tractable assumptions and is demonstrated in the domain of business process management. Initial proofs about the convergence of negotiation are also presented.

متن کاملNegotiation Strategies for Grid Scheduling
Grid computing is considered the next step of distributed computing architectures. For such service oriented architectures the resource management is an important component that has to cope with the challenges of heterogeneous, decentralized and autonomous resources. The use of agreements is expected to become a key technology for the reliable interaction between resource providers and consumer...
متن کاملAn Ontology-based Translator for Communicating Negotiation Agents over Internet
Traditional negotiation systems have been implemented using agent architectures, where agents exchange messages generated by each system, based on particular language definitions implicitly encoded, giving different syntax and semantics to their messages. In this paper we address the problem of language interoperability between negotiation agents during message exchanging over the Internet. Our...
متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
