Achieving Mediated Agreements using Agreement Space Modeling.
Carlos Carrascosa, Miguel Rebollo · 2009
Abstract. An agreement is an arrangement between two or more entities to do something. This implies a context in which terms the agreement is developed. This paper presents a model of such agreement context as an euclidean space. On the other hand, an agreement can also be seen as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) which solution space models an agreement space. This will allow to have a mediator that could not only model the agreement as an space, but also to check the viability of the agreement as it is being built. This mediator, that could even give some counsels about the agreement terms being formulated, is called here Counselor Agent. The protocols to interact with such agent to build an agreement are also presented. 1
