Genius: negotiation environment for heterogeneous agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this demo, we present GENIUS, a tool that facilitates research in the area of bilateral multi-issue negotiation. It implements an open architecture allowing easy development and integration of existing negotiating agents. GENIUS can be used to simulate individual negotiation sessions as well as tournaments between negotiating agents in various negotiation scenarios. It allows the specification of negotiation domains and preference profiles by means of a graphical user interface. A number of negotiating agent implementations as well as negotiation scenarios have been collected in GENIUS. GENIUS can be used in experiments with human negotiators that negotiate against automated agents or other humans. An analytical toolbox integrated in GENIUS calculates optimal solutions, such as the Pareto efficient frontier, Nash product and others. This toolbox may be used to visualize a negotiation process and creates an extensive log.

The First Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC 2010)
Motivated by the challenges of bilateral negotiations between people and automated agents we organized the first automated negotiating agents competition (ANAC 2010). The purpose of the competition is to facilitate the research in the area bilateral multi-issue closed negotiation. The competition was based on the GENIUS environment, which is a General Environment for Negotiation with Intelligen...
متن کاملGenius: an Integrated Environment for Supporting the Design of Generic Automated Negotiators
The design of automated negotiators has been the focus of abundant research in recent years. However, due to difficulties involved in creating generalized agents that can negotiate in several domains and against human counterparts, many automated negotiators are domain specific and their behavior cannot be generalized for other domains. Some of these difficulties arise from the differences inhe...
متن کاملAn Ontology Solution for Language Interoperability between Negotiation Agents
Traditional negotiation systems have been implemented using agent architectures, where agents communicate exchanging negotiation primitives generated by each system, based on particular language definitions implicitly encoded, giving different syntax and semantics to their messages. In this paper we address the problem of communicating heterogeneous negotiation agents in a Web-based environment...

متن کاملHeterogeneous Distributed Cooperative Problem Solving System Helios and Its Cooperation Mechanisms
For advanced and complicated knowledge processing, we need to integrate various kinds of problem-solvers such as constraint solvers, databases, and application programs. A heterogeneous distributed cooperative problem solving system HELIOS achieves this integration by introducing capsule and environment modules. To integrate heterogeneous problem-solvers that may be implemented in di erent lang...
