| Summary: | Negotiation mechanisms have been studied widely in the field of multi-agent
systems. They possess a variety of features that enable agents be negotiate
with each other even in open environments. However, mainly because of limited computational power, there are several assumptions that traditionally
limit the degree of openness. Recent studies have tended to focus on completely open and highly uncertain environments that apply agent systems to
the real world. For example, in emergency rescue domains, we cannot expect
to know when and where a fire starts and when humans are likely to be injured. Also, in Internet auctions, there can be shill bids since there are many
unauthenticated participants. Nowadays, we can employ machines with large
computational power to compute an optimal way for agents to negotiate, even
in completely open and highly uncertain environments. For the practical use of
multi-agent systems in the real world, the reliability of each agent’s behavior
is essentially required. Concretely, agents must obtain the most appropriate
solution/solutions based on rational, robust, and secure negotiation among
multiple agents even if the environment is intractable. We solicit papers on
all aspects of such negotiation mechanisms in multi-agent systems, including
multi-issue negotiations, concurrent negotiations, strategy-proof mechanisms,
rational argumentation, auctions and voting, and so on. These issues are being explored by researchers from different communities in multi-agent systems. They are, for instance, being studied in agent negotiation, multi-issue
negotiations, auctions, mechanism design, electronic commerce, voting, secure protocols, matchmaking and brokering, argumentation, and co-operation
mechanisms. |
