A Strategic Model of Negotiation for Autonomous Agents

分布式人工智能（DAI）一直受到关注 通过设计自动化代理， 有效地实现他们的目标。 该项目将 有助于理论和设计有效的自治 能够以这种方式进行通信和谈判的代理 以提高实现互利的可能性， 协定 作者正在开发一个战略模型， 在谈判过程中需要时间的谈判 过程本身考虑。 该模型用于 创建一个自主代理的原型， 在需要谈判的情况下， 存在限制。 初步模型已经建立， 根据时间对当事人的不同影响， 两方和有限的N方环境的影响，一个完整的 信息.研究人员正在扩展该模型， 代理人可获得的信息 不完整，更复杂的N方情况，以及代理 有限的理性。 与这些理论平行 扩展，自动谈判者的设计正在 开发并创建原型。 战略模型是用 为了识别自动协商器的有效策略， for various各种negotiations谈判situations情况. 元策略库 其中将使用 有限自动机框架正在建立。 自动 协商者确定其适当的参数， 形势，寻找适当的战略，并谈判 根据这一战略。 //

Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) has been concerned with the design of automated agents which can interact effectively in order to satisfy their goals. This project will contribute to both the theory and design of efficient autonomous agents which are able to communicate and negotiate in such a way as to enhance the possibility of reaching mutually beneficial agreements. The authors are developing a strategic model of negotiation that takes the passage of time during the negotiation process itself into consideration. This model is used in the creation of a prototype of an autonomous agent that participates in situations where negotiations are required, and where time constraints exist. A preliminary model has been constructed, based on the differentialimpact of time on the parties, the effects of two-partyand restricted N-party environments, an full information. The researchers are extending the model to deal with situations where the information available to the agents is incomplete, to more complicated N-party situations, and to agents with limited rationality. Parallel to these theoretical extensions, the design of the automated negotiator is being developed and a prototype created. The strategic model is used to identify efficient strategies for the automated negotiator, for various negotiationsituations. A library of meta-strategies in which the strategies will be presented using the finite-automata framework is being built. The automated negotiator identifies the appropriate parameters of its situation, searches for the appropriate strategy, and negotiates according to that strategy. //
