Abstract: This research is concerned with coordination
among autonomous agents in cooperative
domains where, despite conflicting interests,
agents can always negotiate to increase their
mutual benefits. We introduce a multi-agent
negotiation model to model explicitly the negotiation
process, and a monotonic negotiation protocol
to ensure convergence. Particularly, the
model formalizes progressive negotiation where
negotiation among a group of agents can be
divided into a number of... (Update)

...mechanism to a given multi agent system, it is necessary to try and envisage what problems will arise from the implementation. (Lee (1996) is an example for such considerations in the context of group negotiations) In particular, the system must be robust against non...
.... conceding a new (never announced) proposal demanding no more utility to itself than any previous proposal, deadlock will never occur [ Lee, 1996b ] The monotonic negotiation protocol (MNP) is thus defined to specify the eligibility of proposals for announcement at any time and...
