Abstract:
concerned with how automated agents can be designed to interact effectively. One important capability that could aid inter-agent cooperation would be that of negotiation: agents could be built that are able to communicate their respective desires and compromise to reach mutually beneficial agreements. This work uses the language of game theory to analyze negotiation among automated agents in cooperative domains. However, while game theory generally deals with negotiation in continuous domains and among agents with full information, this research considers discrete domains and the case where agents have only partial information, assumptions of greater interest
