Abstract: |
Autonomous
agents with negotiation competence are becoming increasingly important and
pervasive. This paper follows an interdisciplinary approach to build
autonomous negotiating agents by considering both game-theoretic techniques
and bargaining procedures from the social sciences. The paper presents a
generic model that handles bilateral multi-issue negotiation, describes
equilibrium strategies for the bargaining game of alternating offers, and
formalizes important strategies used by human negotiators. Autonomous agents
equipped with the model are able to negotiate under both complete and
incomplete information, thereby making them very compelling for automated
negotiation. |
