Abstract

In this research, we have developed a Multi-Agent based Negotiation Support System to enhance the competitive power of a company in dynamic environments and correspond to various orders from customers by capitalizing on electronic commerce. The system uses the agent technology that comes to light as a new paradigm in dynamic environment and flexible system framework. The multi-agent technology is used to solve these problems through cooperation between agents. The system consists of six sub agents: mediator, manufacturability analysis agent, process planning agent, scheduling agent, selection agent and negotiation strategy building agent. In this paper, the proposed Multi-Agent based Negotiation Support System aims at the automation of transaction process from order to manufacturing plan through negotiation automation that is the most important in a series of business transactions.
