Strategies for Ontology Negotiation: Finding the Right Level of Generality
نویسندگان
چکیده
In heterogeneous multi agent systems, communication is hampered by the lack of shared ontologies. Ontology negotiation is a technique that enables pairs of agents to overcome these difficulties by exchanging parts of their ontologies. As a result of these micro level solutions, a communication vocabulary emerges on a macro level. The goal of this paper is to ensure that this communication vocabulary contains words of the right level of generality, i.e. not overspecific and not overgeneralized. We will propose a number of communication strategies that enable the agents to achieve these goals. Using experimental results, we will compare their performance.

متن کاملNegotiation Content Ontology for Human-Agent Negotiation
Human-agent negotiation is very important and highly complex task in electronic business negotiation. A hybrid model has been proposed to enable e-negotiation between human and software agents. In this model a human interacts with an intelligent software agent through exchange of messages to reach on an agreement. In this paper, we present a content level ontology by conceptualizing nine types ...

In this paper we present our experience in applying Semantic Web technology to automated negotiation. This result is a novel approach to automated negotiation, that is particularly suitable to open environments such as the Internet. In this approach, agents can negotiate in any type of marketplace regardless of the negotiation mechanism in use. In order to support a wide variety of negotiation ...
متن کاملA Generic Ontology of Rational Negotiation
The paper presents the generic conceptual framework for modeling rational negotiation processes. The central piece of the presented work is the upper-level negotiation ontology. This ontology is designed to be capable to model the arbitrary types of negotiation dialogues by providing the upper-level namespace for that. The models of the specific negotiation types refine this namespace by provid...
