本文给出了多边轮询协议的一般框架和两个完全指定的协议，即堆叠交替要约协议（SAOP）和交替多重要约协议（AMOP）。在SAOP中，轮到代理时，代理可以出价、接受最近的出价或走开（即，在没有达成协议的情况下结束谈判）。AMOP有两个不同的阶段：竞标和投票。代理商在投标阶段进行投标，并在投票阶段对基础投标进行投票。与SAOP不同，AMOP不支持走开选项。在这两个协议中，当谈判代表达成共同协议或某些截止日期标准适用时，谈判结束。对协议进行了经验评估，表明在基于时间的截止日期设置中，SAOP优于具有相同类型的让步代理的AMOP。SAOP在ANAC 2015自动谈判代理竞赛中使用。
This paper presents a general framework for multilateral turn-taking protocols and two fully specified protocols namely Stacked Alternating Offers Protocol (SAOP) and Alternating Multiple Offers Protocol (AMOP). In SAOP, agents can make a bid, accept the most recent bid or walk way (i.e., end the negotiation without an agreement) when it is their turn. AMOP has two different phases: bidding and voting. The agents make their bid in the bidding phase and vote the underlying bids in the voting phase. Unlike SAOP, AMOP does not support walking away option. In both protocols, negotiation ends when the negotiating agents reach a joint agreement or some deadline criterion applies. The protocols have been evaluated empirically, showing that SAOP outperforms AMOP with the same type of conceder agents in a time-based deadline setting. SAOP was used in the ANAC 2015 competition for automated negotiating agents.
