Conditions for Optimal Outcomes of Negotiations about Resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyse scenarios in which individually rational agents negotiate with each other in order to agree on deals to exchange resources. We consider two variants of the framework, one where agents can use money to compensate other agents for disadvantageous deals, and another one where this is not possible. In both cases, we analyse what types of deals are necessary and sufficient to guarantee an optimal outcome of negotiations. We also show how these conditions can change depending on properties of the utility functions used by agents to represent the values they ascribe to certain sets of resources.

Production of Daphnia epiphium, A method for mass production and rapid revival
A new and suitable breeding method for inducing asexual or sexual reproduction (opium pneumonia) of Daphnia Magna is described in the laboratory. Drying and dehydration cause the production of epiphium epiphium with rapid hatching. In the present study, the effect of many different parameters such as pesticides, light periods and light intensity, sediments, culture oxygen levels, dark period, a...
متن کاملAn Efficient Protocol for Negotiation over Multiple Indivisible Resources
We study the problem of autonomous agents negotiating the allocation of multiple indivisible resources. It is difficult to reach optimal outcomes in bilateral or multi-lateral negotiations over multiple resources when the agents’ preferences for the resources are not common knowledge. Selfinterested agents often end up negotiating inefficient agreements in such situations. We present a protocol...

Management based on the flexibility, fairness, and sustainability characteristics of water resources may play a key role in preventing the continuation of the crisis process as well as reducing water users’ conflict. In the present research, the framework for the optimal allocation of shared water resources was presented using a combination of bankruptcy concepts and asymmetric Nash bargaining....
متن کاملOn efficient mediation approach to multi-issue negotiation with optimal and fair outcomes
Empirical evidence suggests that self-interested agents often fail to reach optimal agreements in multi-issue negotiations. Most existing negotiation approaches either do not address fairness issues; or do not consider computational concerns. To address these problems, the aim of this research is to investigate negotiation techniques, introducing efficient mediation approaches to support multi-...
متن کاملE cient Agent Negotiations in a Realistic Context
In practice, many problems can be modeled by resource allocation problems. However, even if their aim is often to identify a resource distribution maximizing a given objective, different approaches exist. Many solving techniques only focus on the best resource distribution. Such approaches consider resources from one side and agents on the other side. It is the case for all centralized techniqu...
