Book Synopsis Exploring the Strategy Space of Negotiating Agents by : Tim Baarslag
Download or read book Exploring the Strategy Space of Negotiating Agents written by Tim Baarslag and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports on an outstanding thesis that has significantly advanced the state-of-the-art in the area of automated negotiation. It gives new practical and theoretical insights into the design and evaluation of automated negotiators. It describes an innovative negotiating agent framework that enables systematic exploration of the space of possible negotiation strategies by recombining different agent components. Using this framework, new and effective ways are formulated for an agent to learn, bid, and accept during a negotiation. The findings have been evaluated in four annual instantiations of the International Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC), the results of which are also outlined here. The book also describes several methodologies for evaluating and comparing negotiation strategies and components, with a special emphasis on performance and accuracy measures.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automated negotiation technologies are being increasingly used in business applications, especially in the e-Commerce domain. Argumentation-Based Negotiation (ABN), among the existing approaches, has been distinguished as a powerful approach to automated negotiation due to its ability to provide more sophisticated information (arguments) that justifies and supports agents’ proposals in order to mutually influence their preference relations on the set of offers, and consequently on the negotiation outcome. During the recent years, argumentation-based negotiation has received a considerable attention in the area of agent communication. However, current proposals are mostly concerned with presenting protocols for showing how agents can interact with each other, and how arguments and offers can be generated, evaluated and exchanged under the assumption of certainty. Therefore, none of these proposals is directly targeting the agents’ uncertainty about the selection of their moves nor designing the appropriate negotiation strategies based on this uncertainty in order to help the negotiating agents better make their decisions in the negotiation settings where agents have limited or uncertain information, precluding them from making optimal individual decisions. In this thesis, we tackle the aforementioned problems by advocating an Argumentation-Based Agent Negotiation (ABAN) framework that is capable of handling the problem of agents’ uncertainty during the negotiation process. We begin by proposing an argumentation framework enriched with a new element called agent’s uncertainty as an important parameter in the agent theory to allow negotiating agents to decide which moves to play and reason about the selection of these moves under the assumption of uncertainty. Then, a method for agents’ uncertainty assessment is presented. In particular, we use Shannon entropy to assess agent’s uncertainty about their moves at each dialogue step as well as for the whole dialogue. Negotiation strategies and agent profiles issues are also explored and a methodology for designing novel negotiation strategies and agent profiles under the assumption of uncertainty is developed. Moreover, two important outcome properties namely, completeness and Nash equilibrium are discussed. Finally, the applicability of our framework is explored through several scenarios of the well-known Buyer/Seller case study. The obtained empirical results confirm the effectiveness of using our uncertainty-aware techniques and demonstrate the usefulness of using such techniques in argumentation-based negotiations.

Book Synopsis Practical Strategies for Agent-based Negotiation in Complex Environments by : Colin R. Williams
Download or read book Practical Strategies for Agent-based Negotiation in Complex Environments written by Colin R. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agent-based negotiation, whereby the negotiation is automated by software programs, can be applied to many different negotiation situations, including negotiations between friends, businesses or countries. A key benefit of agent-based negotiation over human negotiation is that it can be used to negotiate effectively in complex negotiation environments, which consist of multiple negotiation issues, time constraints, and multiple unknown opponents. While automated negotiation has been an active area of research in the past twenty years, existing work has a number of limitations. Specifically, most of the existing literature has considered time constraints in terms of the number of rounds of negotiation that take place. In contrast, in this work we consider time constraints which are based on the amount of time that has elapsed. This requires a different approach, since the time spent computing the next action has an effect on the utility of the outcome, whereas the actual number of offers exchanged does not. In addition to these time constraints, in the complex negotiation environments which we consider, there are multiple negotiation issues, and we assume that the opponents' preferences over these issues and the behaviour of those opponents are unknown. Finally, in our environment there can be concurrent negotiations between many participants. Against this background, in this thesis we present the design of a range of practical negotiation strategies, the most advanced of which uses Gaussian process regression to coordinate its concession against its various opponents, whilst considering the behaviour of those opponents and the time constraints. In more detail, the strategy uses observations of the offers made by each opponent to predict the future concession of that opponent. By considering the discounting factor, it predicts the future time which maximises the utility of the offers, and we then use this in setting our rate of concession. Furthermore, we evaluate the negotiation agents that we have developed, which use our strategies, and show that, particularly in the more challenging scenarios, our most advanced strategy outperforms other state-of-the-art agents from the Automated Negotiating Agent Competition, which provides an international benchmark for this work. In more detail, our results show that, in one-to-one negotiation, in the highly discounted scenarios, our agent reaches outcomes which, on average, are 2.3% higher than those of the next best agent. Furthermore, using empirical game theoretic analysis we show the robustness of our strategy in a variety of tournament settings. This analysis shows that, in the highly discounted scenarios, no agent can benefit by choosing a different strategy (taken from the top four strategies in that setting) than ours. Finally, in the many-to-many negotiations, we show how our strategy is particularly effective in highly competitive scenarios, where it outperforms the state-of-the-art many-to-many negotiation strategy by up to 45%.
