Abstract

Consider continuous negotiations where the goal is to obtain exactly one complete bundle of resources and there exists alternative bundles that solve the task. This paper presents a market-based model of this negotiation that does not require commitment and decommitment during the negotiation phase. A negotation goal is represented by a graph, called a resource network. Goals are achieved by obtaining resources along one path in the graph. The resource network model can be applied to electronic commerce with agents trading bandwidth in all-or-nothing deals, and for agents that want to combine simple goods into more complex goods.
