چکیده
Cooperative-problem-solving negotiations in competitive environments involve an initial conclusion of commitments as well as their possible adaptations during their execution. Conclusion of commitments, breaching the commitments (decommitments), their replanning and reconfiguration introduce means of achieving flexibility in cooperation among self-interested agents and require adequate negotiation means covering whole life cycle of the cooperation. We introduce Renegotiable Competitive Contract Net Protocol (RCCNP) enabling fully flexible contracting and cooperation in competitive environments. The protocol extends Competitive Contract Net Protocol (CCNP) by renegotiation phases, resolves a termination problem in the CCNP termination phase and keeping compliance to other FIPA standards it extends the set FIPA speech acts. Flexibility of commitments is achieved by employing leveled commitments. Renegotiation phases facilitate partial decommitments, extensions of commitments of currently committed parties and invitations of new parties into an already running cooperation. As RCCNP provides complete negotiation means for conclusion and evolution of commitments in competitive environments, it enables employment of various business strategies during the initial negotiations as well as during the cooperation life cycle.
