Abstract

In this paper we describe a mechanism for automated negotiation in which artificial agents can deal with a multi-issue negotiation in a one-to-many way based on some strategies. The negotiation process are governed dynamically by some strategies that emphasize on the diverse processing methods under the considering of different commodity attributes, including dynamic delayed evaluation and response to the received offers, generation of offer groupwith the same utility. Our analysis shows that the mechanism ensures that bargaining agents could reach a better agreement automatically. We also implement a prototype system to verify the advantages of our mechanism.
