C-IPS Approach to Negotiating Agents: Specifying Dynamic Interdependencies between Issue, Partner, and Step
Diemo Urbig, Kay Schröter · Adaptive Agents and Multi-Agents Systems · 2004
Our C-IPS approach to negotiating agents considers the choice of negotiation issues, partners and steps as separate restricted decision processes. Here we focus on specification of dynamic interdependencies between these decisions and illustrate this by modeling sequential dependencies for an idealized scenario. The explicit modeling of all involved decisions and dependencies eases the understanding, evaluation, and comparison of different approaches to negotiating agents.
