ABSTRACT
The modularization of negotiating agents as proposed by the C-IPS approach provides a sound base for a concept that we call dynamic degrees of delegation. Agents following this concept enable their users at runtime to delegate particular subsets of decisions to their artificial agents. We extend our specification and implementation of fully autonomous agents to capture this concept. We have successfully implemented such a system for application in a sociological experiment.

Modeling constraint-based negotiating agents
Special issue: Decision support systems: Directions for the next decadeMost existing decision support systems (DSSs) are hard to fit satisfactorily into emerging working practices or organizational environments. Decision-making is becoming more pluralistic and less hierarchical, determined not so much by position in the ...
Agents in Electronic Commerce: Component Technologies for Automated Negotiation and Coalition Formation
Automated negotiation and coalition formation among self-interested agents are playing an increasingly important role in electronic commerce. Such agents cannot be coordinated by externally imposing their strategies. Instead the interaction protocols ...
Satisficing coalition formation among agents
AAMAS '02: Proceedings of the first international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems: part 3In a multiagent system where each agent has only an incomplete view of the world, optimal coalition formation is difficult. Coupling that with real-time and resource constraints often makes the rationalization process infeasible or costly. We propose a ...
