Agent Planning, Negotiation and Control of Operation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a framework that integrates three aspects of agency: planning, for proactive behaviour, negotiation, for social behaviour and resource achievement, and control of operation, for reconciling rationality with reactivity. Agents are designed and programmed in a computational logic-based language where these aspects are accommodated in a declarative and modular way. We show how this framework can be applied to agent problems requiring negotiation and resource achievement and present some of its formal properties. The framework can be implemented based on a communication platform for agent interaction and on well-established logic programming technologies for agent reasoning.

Collaborative System Model for Dynamic Planning of Supply Chain
The business need to be structured as an integrated supply chain pushes companies to make use of a greater level of co-operation and coordination. As a means of coordination, negotiation has been chosen in this work. The object of this paper is to present formalism for negotiation in dynamic planning of a supply chain with the objective of maximizing the overall profit of each partner. To model...
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 کاملAn Heterarchical Multi-agent System for the Integration of Process Planning and Scheduling Using Operation-based Time-extended Negotiation Protocols
It is proposed in this paper the on-line adaptation of process plan with alternatives, through the application of an operation-based time-extended negotiation protocol for decision-making about real-time routing of job orders of parts composed of machining operations in a job-shop environment. The protocol is modified from the contract net protocol to cater for the multiple tasks and many-to-ma...
