MOPaC: The Multiple Offers Protocol for Multilateral Negotiations with Partial Consensus
Pradeep Kumar Murukannaiah, Catholijn M. Jonker · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2022
Existing protocols for multilateral negotiation require a full consensus among the negotiating parties. In contrast, we propose a protocol for multilateral negotiation that allows partial consensus, wherein only a subset of the negotiating parties can reach an agreement. We motivate problems that require such a protocol and describe the protocol formally.
