Engineering Automated Negotiations

چکیده
Resumen. To make automated negotiation widely used in real scenarios, it is necessary to develop advanced software systems that are able to carry out such negotiation in those scenarios. However, although much work has been done in automated negotiation, most of these efforts have been focused on the development of negotiation protocols and strategies and only a few are centred on software frameworks for automated negotiation. We are concerned with the engineering aspect of automated negotiation. Specifically, we detail a software framework to develop automated negotiations of service level agreements. Unlike other proposals, we provide a detailed description of elements for full decision-making support including evaluating offers, strategy selection, building a market and opponents model, and creating counterproposals.

In this paper we present our results on the exploration of the design space of a declarative framework for automated negotiation by: (1) identifying a minimal yet viable generic negotiation protocol and a declarative way of representing rules and constraints specific to negotiation mechanisms and strategies; (2) identifying the need of a set of basic concepts for describing negotiations that fo...
متن کاملBridging the Gap: Face-to-Face Negotiations with Automated Mediator
Mediation is an important paradigm for dispute resolution. It can lead to “win-win” situations and benefit all parties. Yet, when people negotiate they demonstrate bounded rationality in their actions and diversity in their behaviors. This increases the difficulty to design automated mediators. To be successful, the mediator must take this into account and propose solutions deemed relevant, oth...
