Interdisciplinary Approach to Automated Negotiation: a Preliminary Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous agents with negotiation competence are becoming increasingly important and pervasive. This paper follows an interdisciplinary approach to build autonomous negotiating agents by considering both game-theoretic techniques and bargaining procedures from the social sciences. The paper presents a generic model that handles bilateral multi-issue negotiation, describes equilibrium strategies for the bargaining game of alternating offers, and formalizes important strategies used by human negotiators. Autonomous agents equipped with the model are able to negotiate under both complete and incomplete information, thereby making them very compelling for automated negotiation.

A System for Automated Agent Negotiation with Defeasible Logic-Based Strategies - Preliminary Report
This paper reports on a system for automated agent negotiation. The negotiation strategies are expressed in defeasible logic, and are applied using the implemented reasoning system DR-DEVICE. The overall system architecture is described, and a particular 1-1 negotiation scenario is presented in detail.
متن کاملTowards an Interdisciplinary Framework for Automated Negotiation
Negotiation is an important and pervasive form of social interaction. The design of autonomous negotiating agents involves the consideration of insights from multiple relevant research areas to integrate different perspectives on negotiation. As a starting point for an interdisciplinary research effort, this paper presents a model that handles bilateral multi-issue negotiation, employs game-the...
متن کاملImplementation Procedures for the Risk in Early Design (RED) Method
Risk assessments performed at the conceptual design phase of a product may offer the greatest opportunity to increase product safety and reliability at the least cost. This is an especially difficult proposition, however, as often the product has not assumed a physical form at this early design stage. This paper introduces the Risk in Early Design (RED) method, a method for performing risk asse...
متن کاملTowards Automated Trust Negotiation in MAS
This paper tackles the notable concept of automated trust negotiation and presents preliminary results on its integration in the realm of multi-agent systems. First, a review of the relevant literature on automated trust negotiation is given and basic ideas are discussed. Then, a motivated introduction of a novel protocol for automated trust negotiation in multi-agent systems is presented and t...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Approach for the Rapid Development of E-Negotiation Systems
Most of today’s e-marketplaces support a single negotiation protocol. The protocol is usually built into the e-marketplace infrastructure, therefore if a new protocol is introduced then a time consuming and complex process of implementing it takes place. Moreover, participants in the e-marketplace need to adapt their interfaces to the new protocol, especially if they make use of automated means...
