Multiple Negotiations among Agents for a Distributed Meeting Scheduler
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for multi-agent negotiation for implementing a distributed meeting scheduler. In the meeting scheduler, an agent negotiates with other agents about making an public schedule by referring user’s private schedules and preferences. We propose a new persuasion method for multi-agent negotiation for reflecting private preferences. We call the method the multiple negotiations. In order to reach a consensus effectively, we propose an effective preference revision mechanism based on the multi attribute utility theory. We have implemented a distributed meeting scheduler to show how effectively the multiple negotiations can be used. The result shows that the multiple negotiations are effective in supporting group decision-making for scheduling a meeting.

An Architecture for Multi-agent Negotiation Using Private Preferences in a Meeting Scheduler
We present an architecture for multi-agent negotiation for implementing a distributed meeting scheduler. In the scheduling system, an agent is assigned to an user who plans private schedules and events. An agent negotiates with other agents about making an public schedule by referring user's private schedules and preferences. The multi-agent negotiation we proposed here facilitates reaching an ...
متن کاملTheory and Properties of a Selfish Protocol for Multi-Agent Meeting Scheduling Using Fuzzy Constraints1
This paper develops an agent-based methodology for meeting scheduling. In such a multi-agent system, each agent acts on behalf of a user. For each user the meeting scheduling problem is modeled by a fuzzy constraint satisfaction problem, and an appointment is made by negotiations among agents. A negotiation procedure concerns with two key components: the protocol for organizing negotiations amo...

متن کاملOn the design of an adaptive meeting scheduler
We present design considerations for an automated meeting scheduling agent that processes meeting requests on behalf of its associated user. In our formulation of the meeting scheduling problem, distributed meeting scheduling agents, one per user, intelligently exchange information with each other to schedule meetings without compromising user-speciied constraints. In this paper, we rst enumera...
متن کاملAn Automated Distributed Meeting Scheduler for FCVW Plug-in
People have faced conflicts for shifting scheduled meetings to other time slots in order to fit incoming meetings or to find a time slot to book a meeting. The goal of this research is to develop a personal distributed meeting scheduler in FCVW (Federated Collaborative Virtual Workspace) that assists users to deal with these situations. FCVW is an extension of CVW [6] developed by MITRE. In our...
