Autonomous Bidding & Coordinated Acceptance in One-to-Many Negotiations
Thimjo Koça, Tim Baarslag, Catholijn M. Jonker · 2021
This work presents the Autonomous Bidding & Coordinated Acceptance framework (ABCA): an agent-team design that allows general bilateral agents to engage in oneto-many negotiations in a setting where (possibly overlapping) deals with multiple opponents are desirable. We propose also a coordinated acceptance strategy that uses the estimated outcomes of its bilateral negotiations while deciding to accept a deal.
