Abstract
The healthcare market demands flexible, and secure solutions for personal health data sharing. For this purpose, we developed a distributed multi-agent system that reinforces a negotiable right management environment. We propose a bilateral bargaining mechanism that facilitates computational negotiation between patients and healthcare stakeholders. The mechanism is evaluated using both open and sealed bids. We show that agents reach an agreement within a feasible number of rounds, even if their bids are kept confidential.
