A Rule-Driven Approach for Defining the Behaviour of Negotiating Software Agents
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Preserved Fulltext
In this paper, we propose a rule-driven approach to represent, manage and explore negotiation strategies and coordination information. ...
To validate our approach, we ran several agent tournaments, and used a rule-driven mechanism to implement bidding strategies that are common in the English and Dutch auctions. ...
A human negotiator would consult the protocol; a software agent would download it in a usable format (XML for instance). However, the strategies are the responsibility of the negotiator. ...

We strive for a generic approach for protocol description and execution that also caters for domain-based rationality and ease of adoption. ...
In this chapter, we observe the state of the art on negotiations and introduce the generic negotiation platform developed for the SLA@SOI framework. ...
The process is defined as a series of activities and phases; protocols are defined by means of rules and restrictions on negotiation activities. ...

Because we use negotiation as a basis for agent-to-agent interaction, we specialise the AOR concepts in order to have a better mapping with the problems of supply network simulation. ...
In this paper we present the main aspects of the problem of simulation of a supply chain using an agent-based system. ...
