Computing Pareto Optimal Agreements in Multi-issue Negotiation for Service Composition
Claudia Di Napoli, Dario Di Nocera, Silvia Rossi · Adaptive Agents and Multi-Agents Systems · 2015
In a market of services, customers require Service Based Applications (SBAs) with specific QoS constraints usually expressed as end-to-end requirements. Here, we show that mechanisms used to find Pareto optimal agreements can be extended in order to compute them also in the case of ne- gotiation for market-based service composition, where dif- ferent provider agents compete to provide the same service. Moreover, we discuss how these mechanisms allow a cus- tomer agent to concurrently negotiate with all available ser- vice provider agents.
