Negotiation Strategy Based on Neuro-fuzzy System
Shaoping Li · Jisuanji fangzhen · 2008
Negotiation strategy is the key technology to implement autonomous negotiation in multi-agent systems. Aiming at the drawback in most of the existing negotiation strategies due to being confined to Nash theory, a new negotiation strategy based on Neuro-Fuzzy System (NFS), a cooperative entity of fuzzy logic and neural network, was put forward. At first, the cooperative mechanism of these two computational intelligence techniques was analyzed. Then the powerful fuzzy operator of generalized probability product and the one of generalized probability sum were introduced into NFS, and the formulas for training the parameters in NFS were given. The experimented results show NFS is effective and possesses the preferable performance. In addition, the negotiation strategy based on neuro-fuzzy system is consistent with the conventionality of human negotiation, and more incomes and higher efficiency can be achieved with the strategy.
