An Architecture for Multi-agent Negotiation Using Private Preferences in a Meeting Scheduler

چکیده
We present an architecture for multi-agent negotiation for implementing a distributed meeting scheduler. In the scheduling system, an agent is assigned to an user who plans private schedules and events. An agent negotiates with other agents about making an public schedule by referring user's private schedules and preferences. The multi-agent negotiation we proposed here facilitates reaching an agreement among agents e ectively. A characteristic function based on a game theory is used for re ecting users' preferences in the negotiation process. We have implemented a distributed meeting scheduler to see how e ectively the multi-agent negotiation can be used. The result shows that the multiagent negotiation based on private preferences is an e ective method for a distributed meeting scheduler.

In the meeting scheduler, an agent negotiates with other agents about making an public schedule by referring user’s private schedules and preferences. We propose a new persuasion method for multi-agent negotiation for reflecting private preferences. We call the method the multiple negotiations. In ...
متن کاملImproving Agent Performance for Multi-Resource Negotiation Using Learning Automata and Case-Based Reasoning
In electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. In order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. In multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. In recent ...

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....
