A heuristic model for concurrent bi-lateral negotiations in incomplete information settings

چکیده
Bi-lateral negotiations represent an important class of encounter in agent-based systems. To this end, this paper develops and evaluates a heuristic model that enables an agent to participate in multiple, concurrent bi-lateral encounters in competitive situations in which there is information uncertainty and deadlines.

Concurrent bi-lateral negotiation in agent systems
Bi-lateral negotiations represent an important class of encounter in agent-based systems. To this end, this paper develops and evaluates a heuristic model that enables an agent to participate in multiple, concurrent bi-lateral encounters in competitive situations in which there is information uncertainty and deadlines.
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of Agent-Based Negotiation Heuristic for Online Negotiations
This paper presents a negotiation heuristic for software agents that enable agents to learn about the opponent’s behavior and use market information while conducting online negotiations. The heuristic is tested in a pilot experimental study, where the performance of agents is evaluated with respect to human negotiators in a simulated electronic market. Preliminary results indicate that agents m...
متن کاملReal-Time Coordination of Concurrent Multiple Bilateral Negotiations under Time Constraints
This paper addresses a coordination problem during concurrent multiple bilateral negotiations. Real time decisions need to be taken during negotiation to ensure that the overall negotiation process is successful in terms of achieving a valuable agreement (an agreement with high utility). Existing approaches for managing concurrent multiple bilateral negotiation typically rely on historic inform...
متن کاملA Bi-Level Meta-heuristic Approach for a Hazardous Waste Management Problem
This study concentrates on designing a medical waste management system with a hierarchical structure, including a local government and a waste management planner. The upper-level seeks to design and control the waste management facilities by minimizing the environmental risks related to the disposal of medical waste. While the lower-level model is to determine the waste collection plans by only...
متن کاملDesign of a Bi-Objective Capacitated Single-Allocation Incomplete Hub Network Considering an Elastic Demand
This paper presents a bi-objective capacitated hub arc location problem with single assignment for designing a metro network with an elastic demand. In the literature, it is widely supposed that the network created with the hub nodes is complete. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. Moreover, in most hub location problems, the demand is assumed to be static and independent of the location...
