A Multilateral Negotiation Method for Software Process Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently most software process modeling approaches are predefined, not automatically adaptive to different software projects, and provide little support for development team formation with task and resources allocation in real environments. Based on our ten-year working experience for software organizations, we propose an agent-based multilateral negotiation model MNM-PA to support dynamic software process modelling and ease the work of team formation. MNM-PA brings the following advantages: (1) the software processes are not predefined; (2) the software processes are for given projects and with development teams, allocated tasks and task constrains. MNM-PA is an extension of the classic one-time biding contract net protocol. It defines the main components to model a complete negotiation process for software process construction, especially including the negotiation strategies. MNM-PA is implemented and experimented in a software process management tool namely SoftPM, which is used in more than 100 software organizations in China. * This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under grant Nos. 60573082, 60473060, 60673121;the National Hi-Tech Research and Development Plan of China under Grant No. 2006AA01Z185, 2006AA01Z19B; the National Key Technologies R&D Program under Grant No. 2005BA113A01.

Agent - based Bidding in Electronic Markets – A Prototypical Approach
The overall change in computing from manipulation to delegation was already predicted in the mid-90s but hitherto remains a bold vision. Although software agents have the potential of fully automating processes, real world agent-based applications are very limited in number. Even in the case of electronic markets software agents are rarely employed, albeit they can act as autonomous representat...
متن کاملModeling of Inflow Well Performance of Multilateral Wells: Employing the Concept of Well Interference and the Joshi's Expression
The use of multilateral well is becoming an emerging method to improve oil recovery efficiently and to drain reservoirs more efficacious. By developing drilling technology, completing the oil wells as multilateral wells become more interesting especially from economic point of view. On the other hand, lack of any means for forecasting the performance of this type of wells causes drilling of...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of a Model for Multilateral Negotiation with Fuzzy Preferences on an Agent-based Marketplace
This paper presents a multilateral negotiation model on an agent-based job-marketplace developed at Europe-University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. The negotiation model is based on many negotiation issues, a fuzzy utility scoring method and simultaneous negotiation with many negotiation partners in an environment of limited negotiation time. Although the proposed negotiation model deals ...
متن کاملUsing and Evaluating Adaptive Agents for Electronic Commerce Negotiation
Agent technology has been applied to the Electronic Commerce domain, giving birth to what is known as agent-mediated Electronic Commerce. Current real-world applications refer only to the delegation of product or merchant brokering tasks to software agents. Automated negotiation is a less explored stage in this field, since it implies the trust of bargaining power to software agents. We here pr...
