Abstract

The problem of providing tools to support legally valid negotiations between agents is becoming more and more critical. Agents are supposed to perform crucial tasks autonomously; however, they cannot exploit an extensive set of laws since the development of a full legal corpus for the computer world is yet to come. In this work we present an innovative model of interaction between agents that leads to an increase in the level of trust in negotiation-intensive MASs. In particular, we address some common problems related to trust and security in real-world negotiations and outline a set of abstractions that we can use to increase the level of trust that we can expect from agreements with third parties.

Tasks for agent-based negotiation teams: Analysis, review, and challenges

An agent-based negotiation team is a group of interdependent agents that join together as a single negotiation party due to their shared interests in the negotiation at hand. The reasons to employ an agent-based negotiation team may vary: (i) more ...
Hybrid negotiation for resource coordination in multiagent systems

In this paper, we present a coordination approach to resource allocation problem in multiagent systems. Agents adaptively coordinate resources among themselves to handle resource shortage crises resulted from events they encounter in dynamic, uncertain, ...
Argumentation-based negotiation planning for autonomous agents

When we negotiate, the arguments uttered to persuade the opponent are not the result of an isolated analysis, but of an integral view of the problem that we want to agree about. Before the negotiation starts, we have in mind what arguments we can utter, ...
