Automated negotiation in open and distributed environments

作者：

Highlights：

• We present a generic framework for automated negotiation.

• The framework integrates the notions of BATNA, resistance force and concession force.

• The framework enables agents to behave responsively to the changes in the environment.

• The agents proactively search for alternative options to improve their BATNA during negotiation.

• The framework can be applied to large-scale complex and open distributed systems.
