IAMhaggler2011: A Gaussian Process Regression Based Negotiation Agent
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the strategy used by our agent, IAMhaggler2011, which finished in third place in the 2011 Automated Negotiating Agent Competition. A key feature of this agent is the way in which it models the likely negotiation behaviour of its opponent. Specifically, it first uses a Gaussian process regression technique to estimate the future concession of its negotiation opponent. Its concession is then set as a best response to this prediction.

Reaching Good Agreements in Multilateral Agent-based Negotiations∗
Negotiations among autonomous agents has been gained a mass of attention from a variety of communities in the past decade. This paper deals with a prominent type of automated negotiations, namely, multilateral multi-issue negotiation that runs under real-time constraints and in which the negotiating agents have no prior knowledge about their opponents’ preferences over the space of negotiation ...
متن کاملImproving 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 کاملAn Adaptive Bilateral Negotiation Model Based on Bayesian Learning
Endowing the negotiation agent with a learning ability such that a more beneficial agreement might be obtained is increasingly gaining emphasis in agent negotiation. In this paper, we present a novel bilateral negotiation model based on Bayesian learning to enable self-interested agents to adapt negotiation strategies dynamically during the negotiation process. Specifically, we assume that two ...

Continuous caster scheduling is a complex and extensiveprocess that needs expert staff. In this study, a distributed multi-agent-based structure is proposed as asolution. The agents used herein can cooperate with each other via various communication protocols.To facilitat...
متن کاملA flexible negotiation model for an agent-based software process modelling
Our Agent-based Software Process Modelling (ASPM) approach describes a software process as a set of cooperative agents. Negotiation is the way in which the agents construct their cooperative relations, and thus the software process. Currently, most negotiation models use a fixed negotiation protocol and fixed strategies. In order to achieve the flexibility that the negotiation of the agents in ...
