IAMhaggler: A Negotiation Agent for Complex Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the strategy used by our agent, IAMhaggler, which finished in third place in the 2010 Automated Negotiating Agent Competition. It uses a concession strategy to determine the utility level at which to make offers. This concession strategy uses a principled approach which considers the offers made by the opponent. It then uses a Pareto-search algorithm combined with Bayesian learning in order to generate a multi-issue offer with a specific utility as given by its concession strategy.

Improving 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 ...

This paper deals with a multi-agent-based interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2F) expert systemfor scheduling steel continuous casting. 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 کاملAn Agent Architecture for Simultaneous Bilateral Negotiations
In this paper we introduce an agent architecture for joint action negotiation among several agents in complex environments and with negotiation time bounds. The architecture is based on a graded BDI model and on an informationbased negotiation model. This work does not yet include experimental results but it is currently being tested using DipGame (http://www.dipgame.org).
متن کاملDecision Making of Negotiation Agents Using Markov Chains
In dynamic and complex negotiation environments, a negotiation agent can participate or quit negotiation at any time and can reach an agreement with more than one trading partner as the result of the existence of dynamic outside options. Thus, it’s important for a negotiation agent to make a decision on when to complete negotiation given market dynamics. Rather than explicitly modelling all the...
متن کاملAdaptive, Confidence-Based Strategic Negotiations in Complex Multiagent Environments
We have designed and implemented an adaptive, confidence-based negotiation strategy for conducting multiple, concurrent negotiations among agents in dynamic, uncertain, and real-time environments. Our strategy deals with how to assign multiple issues to a set of concurrent negotiations. When an agent is confident about a particular peer agent, it uses a packaged approach by negotiating on multi...
