Machine Learning: Adaptive Negotiation Agents in E-Commerce
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automated negotiation can play a vital role in the domain of e-commerce. Researches have mainly focused on negotiation protocol and strategy design in B2C section. Less work has been done in the area of B2B e-commerce which is crucially useful in dynamic negotiation to achieve better profitability for both buyer and supplier. Lack of such researches has a bottleneck in implementing automated negotiation to real business deals. This paper studies various machine learning approaches and type of agents to get better understanding of an adaptive negotiation agent.This paper tries to reveals some insights into present and future work about adaptive negotiation which may be helpful for further development of B2B e-commerce adaptive negotiation system.

A Machine-Learning Approach to Automated Negotiation and Prospects for Electronic Commerce
We show how a system of artificial adaptive agents, using a genetic algorithm based learning technique, can learn strategies that enable it to effectively participate in stylized business negotiations. The negotiation policies learned are evaluated on several dimensions, including joint outcomes, nearness to the efficient frontier, and the similarity to outcomes of human negotiations. The resul...
متن کاملA Multi-agent System for Electronic Commerce including Adaptive Strategic Behaviours
This work is primarily based on the use of software agents for automated negotiation. We present in this paper a test-bed for agents in an electronic marketplace, through which we simulated different scenarios allowing us to evaluate different agents’ negotiation behaviours. The system follows a multi-party and multi-issue negotiation approach. We tested the system by comparing the performance ...
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 کاملUsing and Evaluating Adaptive Agents for Electronic Commerce Negotiation
Agent technology has been applied to the Electronic Commerce domain, giving birth to what is known as agent-mediated Electronic Commerce. Current real-world applications refer only to the delegation of product or merchant brokering tasks to software agents. Automated negotiation is a less explored stage in this field, since it implies the trust of bargaining power to software agents. We here pr...
متن کاملCross-Cultural Time Sensitivity in a Bilateral E-Negotiation System
For a long time, culture has been an influencing parameter in negotiations. Growth of international trades and business competitions has increased the importance of negotiations among countries and different cultures. Developing new technologies, particularly the use of artificial intelligence in electronic trading areas, has provided us with the application of intelligent agents to resolve cha...
