An Auction-Based Negotiation Protocol for Agents with Nonlinear Utility Functions
Multi-issue negotiation protocols have been studied widely and represent a promising field since most negotiation problems in the real world involve multiple issues. The vast majority of this work has assumed that negotiation issues are independent, so agents can aggregate the utilities of the issue values by simple summation, producing linear utility functions. In the real world, however, such...

متن کاملA multi-issue negotiation protocol among agents with nonlinear utility functions
Multi-Issue Negotiation protocols have been studied very widely and represent a promising field since most of negotiation problems in the realworld are complex ones including multiple issues. In particular, in reality issues are constrained each other. This makes agents’ utilities nonlinear. There have been a lot of work on multi-issue negotiations. However, there have been very few work that f...
متن کاملEffective bidding and deal identification for negotiations in highly nonlinear scenarios
Most real-world negotiation scenarios involve multiple, interdependent issues. These scenarios are specially challenging because the agents’ utility functions are nonlinear, which makes traditional negotiation mechanisms not applicable. Even mechanisms designed and proven useful for nonlinear utility spaces may fail if the utility space is highly nonlinear. For example, simulated annealing has ...
متن کاملA preliminary result on a representative-based multi-round protocol for multi-issue negotiations
Multi-issue negotiation protocols represent a promising field since most negotiation problems in the real world involve multiple issues. Our work focuses on negotiation with interdependent issues, in which agent utility functions are nonlinear. Existing works have not yet focused on agents’ private information. In addition, they were not scalable in the sense that they have shown a high failure...
