Hierarchical Clustering and Linguistic Mediation Rules for Multiagent Negotiation (Extended Abstract)

We propose a framework based on Hierarchical Clustering (HC) to perform multiagent negotiations where we can specify the type of agreements needed in terms of utility sharing among the agents.The proposed multi-round mediation process is based on the analysis of the agents’ oers at each negotiation round and the generation of a social contract at each round as a feedback to the agents, which explore the negotiation space to generate new oers. This mechanism eciently manages negotiations following predened consensus policies avoiding zones of no agreement.
