Negotiation and Task Sharing Among Autonomous Agents in Cooperative Domains
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work uses the language of game theory to analyze negotiation among automated agents in cooperative domains. However, while game theory generally deals with negotiation in continuous domains and among agents with full information, this research considers discrete domains and the case where agents have only partial information, assumptions of greater interest for artificial intelligence.

Progressive 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...
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....
متن کاملLearning to Coordinate without Sharing Information
Researchers in the eld of Distributed Arti cial Intelligence DAI have been developing e cient mechanisms to coordinate the activities of multi ple autonomous agents The need for coordina tion arises because agents have to share resources and expertise required to achieve their goals Previous work in the area includes using sophis ticated information exchange protocols investi gating heuristics ...
متن کاملMultiagent Negotiation under Time Constraints
Research in distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) is concerned with how automated agents can be designed to interact effectively. Negotiation is proposed as a means for agents to communicate and compromise to reach mutually beneficial agreements. The paper examines the problems of resource allocation and task distribution among autonomous agents which can benefit from sharing a common resou...
متن کاملNegotiation and Conflict Resolution in Non-Cooperative Domains
In previous work [Zlotkin and Rosenschein, 1989a], we have developed a negotiation protocol and offered some negotiation strategies that are in equilibrium. This negotiation process can be used only when the “negotiation set” (NS) is not empty. Domains in which the negotiation sets are never empty are called cooperative domains; in general non-cooperative domains, the negotiation set is sometim...
