Compensatory negotiation for agent-based project schedule coordination
K. Kim, Boyd C. Paulson, Charles J. Petrie, Victor Lesser · 2002
The paper presents a compensatory negotiation methodology for agent based project schedule coordination; a framework wherein a project can be rescheduled dynamically by all of the concerned project participants. The compensatory negotiation methodology is developed to allow agents to transfer utility to other agents for compensation of disadvantageous agreements through a multi linked negotiation process. The multi-agent system based on this negotiation methodology will allow software assistant agents to evaluate the impact of their changes and advise the human participants.
