This paper proposes an approach to attack the multi-linked negotiation in a complex organizational context. The motivational qualities (MQ) framework developed earlier, provides the agent with the capability to reason about different objective goals hence the agent can evaluate a negotiation issue via its organizational objectives. The partial order schedule is exploited as a reasoning tool for...

We view a group problem as a resource allocation problem among involved parties, ana’ negotiation as the members’ act to protect, or better yet, to gain additional resources for themselves. Group members gather together to achieve a common goal. Yet, they are also stakeholders seeking to defend their own interest as well. As such, negotiation can be seen as an effort of all parties seeking to e...

The paper presents the generic conceptual framework for modeling rational negotiation processes. The central piece of the presented work is the upper-level negotiation ontology. This ontology is designed to be capable to model the arbitrary types of negotiation dialogues by providing the upper-level namespace for that. The models of the specific negotiation types refine this namespace by provid...

Negotiation is an important aspect of the construction process. Different negotiation theories and models are available and have been deployed in a variety of situations. In some cases, these have been incorporated into multiagent systems that address a number of engineering problems. This paper is concerned with the approach adopted in the development of a multiagent system for construction cl...

Argumentation-based negotiation (ABN) is a prevailing approach for automated negotiation. It is based on the exchange of arguments that allow an agent to acquire additional information about the other agents and the particular circumstances of the negotiation, and can be used for attacking or justifying offers. This is an important element in resolving conflicts that very often are due to the a...

Automated negotiation is a powerful (and sometimes essential) means for allocating resources among self-interested autonomous software agents. A key problem in building negotiating agents is the design of the negotiation strategy, which is used by an agent to decide its negotiation behaviour. In complex domains, there is no single, obvious optimal strategy. This has le4d to much work on designi...

In this paper we present the NegoManage system, which aims at supporting the bilateral negotiation during all negotiation phases. The support includes the problem structure identification, the analysis of individual preferences of both parties, the messaging and offers exchange and the post-negotiation improvements of the agreement. The preference analysis is supported with a novel mechanism in...

This paper presents a QoS (Quality of Service) based selection and composition model for semantic web services in which the negotiation is performed with all the discovered service providers and the negotiation results are used in the selection process. In semantic web service composition, the selection can also be performed after negotiating with all the discovered service providers and the ne...

We introduce an emotional agent model that shows how emotions affect an agent’s negotiation strategy. By adding emotions, we add the effects of these indirectly related features to the negotiation, features that are ignored in most models. Our new method, the PAD Emotional Negotiation Model, maps a nonemotional agent’s strategy during negotiation to the strategy used by an emotional agent. Our ...
