Abstract
In this paper we propose a highly adaptive bargaining model for agent shopping which stimulates two major human bargaining strategies: 1) Payoff-Oriented Strategy and 2) Real-time Adaptive Attitude Switching Strategy. Payoff-Oriented Strategy adjusts the rate of concession by determining the current payoff gained and the eagerness of the adopted attitude at each bargaining round. Also, the buying agent in this work is guided by the Real-time Adaptive Attitude Switching Strategy which comprises a set of attitude switching rules. These rules guide the buying agent to gain higher payoff and prohibit seller from gaining too much payoff. Owing to the substantial experimental results in this work, the two human-like bargaining strategies achieved the adaptive changing eagerness of a particular attitude and adaptive switching attitude in reacting to the opponent’s feedback.
