摘要
在多agent环境中,协商是多agent系统能够成功运转的关键.根据参与协商agent的数目和协商问题的数目,多agent环境中的协商可以分为双边-单问题协商、双边-多问题协商、多边-单问题协商、多边-多问题协商.前3种协商是多边-多问题协商在不同维上的简化.利用协商-协商过程-协商线程的概念建立了一个多边-多问题协商模型MMN(multi-agent multi-issue negotiation).该模型通过提供一个灵活的协商协议支持多agent环境中的不同协商形式,并且支持agent在协商过程中的学习.
Negotiation is a key issue for success application of multi-agent technology. According to the number of agents and the number of issues, negotiation in multi-agent environment can be classified as bilateral-single issue negotiation, bilateral-multi-issue negotiation, multi-lateral-single issue negotiation, and multi-lateral-multi-issue negotiation. The previous three scenarios are the simple forms of the multi-lateral-multi-issue negotiation. A multi-lateral-multi-issue negotiation model is provided to divide negotiation into processes, which are further divided into threads. The model defines a flexible negotiation protocol, which makes it easy to support different negotiation scenarios. And the model also supports the learning capability of participating agents.
