Negotiation Strategies for Autonomous Computational Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 individual capability of planning and the social capability of negotiation, and formalizes a set of human negotiation procedures.

Strategic Negotiation for Sharing a Resource Between two Agents
In this paper, we propose a strategic-negotiation model which enables self-motivated rational agents to share resources. The strategic-negotiation model takes the passage of time during the negotiation process itself into account. The model considers bilateral negotiations in situations characterized by complete information, in which one agent loses over time while the other gains over time. Us...
متن کاملAutomated Service Negotiation Between Autonomous Computational Agents
Multi-agent systems are a new computational approach for solving real world, dynamic and open system problems. Problems are conceptualized as a collection of decentralised autonomous agents that collaborate to reach the overall solution. Because of the agents autonomy, their limited rationality, and the distributed nature of most real world problems, the key issue in multi-agent system research...
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 کاملBilateral Negotiation in a Multi-Agent Energy Market
Energy markets are systems for effecting the purchase and sale of electricity using supply and demand to set the price. A typical energy market involves a wholesale market for electricity generation, when competing generators offer their electricity output to retailers, and a retail market for electricity retailing, when end-use customers choose their supplier from competing electricity retaile...
متن کاملInterdisciplinary Approach to Automated Negotiation: a Preliminary Report
Autonomous agents with negotiation competence are becoming increasingly important and pervasive. This paper follows an interdisciplinary approach to build autonomous negotiating agents by considering both game-theoretic techniques and bargaining procedures from the social sciences. The paper presents a generic model that handles bilateral multi-issue negotiation, describes equilibrium strategie...
