Agent-Based Negotiation in Uncertain Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
An agent aims to secure his projected needs by attempting to build a set of (business) relationships with other agents. A relationship is built by exchanging private information, and is characterised by its intimacy — degree of closeness — and balance — degree of fairness. Each argumentative interaction between two agents then has two goals: to satisfy some immediate need, and to do so in a way that develops the relationship in a desired direction. An agent’s desire to develop each relationship in a particular way then places constraints on the argumentative utterances. The form of negotiation described is argumentative interaction constrained by a desire to develop such relationships.

Improving 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 کاملAdaptive, Confidence-Based Strategic Negotiations in Complex Multiagent Environments
We have designed and implemented an adaptive, confidence-based negotiation strategy for conducting multiple, concurrent negotiations among agents in dynamic, uncertain, and real-time environments. Our strategy deals with how to assign multiple issues to a set of concurrent negotiations. When an agent is confident about a particular peer agent, it uses a packaged approach by negotiating on multi...
متن کاملA Contract Decommitment Protocol for Automated Negotiation in Time Variant Environments
Negotiation is a fundamental mechanism in distributed multi-agent systems. Since negotiation is a time-spending process, in many scenarios agents have to take into account the passage of time and to react to uncertain events. The possibility to decommit from a contract is considered a powerful technique to manage this aspect. This paper considers interactions among self-interested and autonomou...
متن کاملHybrid negotiation for resource coordination in multiagent systems
In this paper, we present a coordination approach to resource allocation problem in multiagent systems. Agents adaptively coordinate resources among themselves to handle resource shortage crises resulted from events they encounter in dynamic, uncertain, real-time, and noisy environments. The coordination approach is implemented with a hybrid negotiation mechanism. The hybrid negotiation mechani...
متن کاملAllocation Algorithms in Dynamic Negotiation-Based Coalition Formation
In this paper, we present a set of allocation algorithms for a dynamic, negotiation-based coalition formation model. The model is for a cooperative multiagent system in which each agent has incomplete information about its dynamic and uncertain world and must respond to sensed events within time constraints. With incomplete information and uncertain world parameters while lacking time, an agent...
