Delegated Negotiation for Resource Re-Allocation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Whereas the oldest negotiation framework in distributed artiicial intelligence, the Contract Net metaphor, embodies a truly distributed negotiation procedure, some of the younger approaches to negotiation are distributed to a lesser degree, relying on a mediator to resolve connicts between agents. In this paper, we present delegated negotiation as a more distributed alternative for mediated negotiation. Rather than a sophisticated mediator agent, delegated negotiation features a relatively dumb manager agent, whose task is restricted to the ag-gregation of problem statements from individual agents into global problem prooles. The aggregated information enables the agents to take collective interests into account without being aware of another agent's individual goals.

Improving 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 کاملResource re-allocation at network units by using of bi-level data envelopment analysis
The lack of renewable primary resources is one of the most serious challenges in recent decades. So under this circumstance, managers are looking for appropriate solutions for the optimal use of these resources to improve the efficiency of the under management units. One of the most widely used techniques in finding the optimal resource is data envelopment analysis (DEA). So in this paper, in ...
متن کاملAdaptive Negotiation in Managing Wireless Sensor Networks
The allocation of resources to tasks in an efficient manner is a key problem in computer science. One important application domain for solutions to this class of problem is the allocation of sensor resources for environmental monitoring, surveillance, or similar sensing tasks. In real-world problem domains, the problem is compounded by the fact that the number of tasks and resources change over...
متن کاملSvc Multicast over Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
Scalable video coding (SVC) is attractive technology for multicasting video to users with different available transmission capacities. In this paper, we investigate the joint optimization of resource allocation and user association problems for SVC multicast over heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNet) employing the schemes of cell range expansion (RE) and almost blank subframe(ABS). We solve ...
