چکیده

In real-life trading, relaxing decisions in the face of trading pressure is common. Similarly, in marketbased grid resource allocation problem designing negotiator agents with the flexibility to relax their decision to (quickly) complete a deal in the face of intense Grid Market Pressure (GMP) is essential. To make this idea possible, we design Enhanced Marketand Behavior-driven Negotiation Agents (EMBDNAs) that adopt new fuzzy negotiation protocol. The protocol focuses on both (1) enhancing Rubinstein’s sequential alternating offer protocol to handle multiple trading opportunities and market competition and (2) designing two new Fuzzy Grid Market Pressure Determination Systems (FGMPDSs) for both grid resource consumers and grid resource owners to guide negotiator agents in relaxing their bargaining terms under intense GMP to enhance their chance of successfully acquiring/leasing out resources. Implementing the idea in an agent-based testbed, an experiment for evaluating and comparing EMBDNA against EMDA (Enhanced Market-Driven Agent) and our previous work in name MBDNA (Marketand Behavior-driven Negotiation Agent) were carried out through stochastic simulations. While EMDA relaxes its bargaining term in the face of intense GMP by considering just two relaxation factors the MBDNA uses the same negotiation strategy as EMBDNA but does not relax its bargaining term in the face of intense GMP. The results show that adopting the new fuzzy negotiation protocol, EMBDNAs outperform MBDNAs and EMDAs. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Market_based grid resource allocation using new negotiation model

This paper presents a new negotiation model for designing Marketand Behavior-driven Negotiation Agents (MBDNAs) that address computational grid resource allocation problem. To determine the amount of concession for each trading cycle, the MBDNAs are guided by six factors: (1) number of negotiator’s trading partners, (2) number of negotiator’s competitors, (3) negotiator’s time preference, (4) f...

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 ...
