ANTE: Agreement Negotiation in Normative and Trust-Enabled Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research on negotiation and task allocation has been in the multi-agent systems realm since its inception as a research field. More recently, social aspects of agenthood have received increasing attention, namely developing on the fields of normative and trust systems. The integration of these different research contributions will allow to build robust applications for electronic agreement negotiation, aiming at their acceptability and application in industry. The ANTE1 framework is the corollary of an ongoing long-term research project that encompasses three main agreement technologies: negotiation [3], normative environments [1], and computational trust [5]. Although ANTE has been targeting the domain of B2B electronic contracting, it was conceived as a more general framework having in mind a wider range of applications. This paper describes a demonstration showing the application of the ANTE framework to an agent-based automatic electronic contracting domain.

Multi-agent systems Computational Trust Normative Control Betrayal Despite relevant insights from socio-economics, little research in multi-agent systems has addressed the interconnections between trust and normative notions such as contracts and sanctions. Focusing our attention on scenarios of betrayal, in this paper we combine the use of trust and sanctions in a negotiation process. We desc...
متن کاملAutomated Trust Negotiation in Autonomic Environments
Autonomic computing environments rely on devices that are able to make intelligent decisions without human supervision. Automated Trust Negotiation supports the cooperation of devices with no prior trust relationship. They can reach an agreement by iteratively exchanging credentials during a negotiation process. These credentials can serve as authorization tokens or may carry information that b...

This paper covers topics related to privacy and trust negotiation applied in pervasive information systems. We consider the turbulent nature of pervasive environments and highlight special privacy and trust issues that arise from it. The current state of trust negotiation is summarized. We propose an extended negotiation model that not only enables parties’ access control but produces a privacy...
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 کاملA Requirements-Driven Trust Framework for Secure Interoperation in Open Environments
A key challenge in emerging multi-domain open environments is the need to establish trust-based, loosely coupled partnerships between previously unknown domains. An efficient trust framework is essential to facilitate trust negotiation based on the service requirements of the partner domains. While several trust mechanisms have been proposed, none address the issue of integrating the trust mech...
