Progressive Multi-Agent Negotiation
نویسنده
چکیده
This research is concerned with coordination among autonomous agents in cooperative domains where, de.spite conflicting interests, agents can always negotiate to increase their mutual benefits. We introduce a multi-agent negotiation model to model explicitly the negotiation process, and a monotonic negotiation protocol to ensure convergence. Particularly, tile model formalizes progressive negotiation where negotiation among a group of agents can be divided into a number of sub-negotiations which proceed incrementally. We investigate how the sizes of these sub-negotiations affect the negotiation solution.
