Dynamic Contract Net Protocol
TLDR
The algorithm of dynamic contract net protocol, which is proposed to apply the situation in which the environment and the capabilities of each agent can dynamically change with time, is given.Abstract:
This paper improves the classical contract net protocol, and according to swarm intelligence a dynamic contract net protocol is proposed to apply the situation in which the environment and the capabilities of each agent can dynamically change with time.This paper gives the algorithm of dynamic contract net protocol. Many experiments on the multi-agent platform MAGE(Multi-AGent Environment) show the advantages of dynamic contract net protocol.read more

Agent-based bilateral multi-issue negotiation scheme for e-market transactions
Yee Ming Chen,Pei-Ni Huang +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a bilateral multi-issue negotiation scheme, which deploys risk seeking/averse strategies and cost-oriented/benefit-oriented tactics to explore the negotiation space of possible trade-off for the one that is most likely to be acceptable.

Task Assignment of the Improved Contract Net Protocol under a Multi-Agent System
TL;DR: The improved contract net protocol can reduce the traffic and run-time compared with classical contract net and dynamic contract net protocols and can achieve better assignment results and can re-forward all erroneous tasks.

A Multi-Robots Task Allocation Algorithm Based on Relevance and Ability With Group Collaboration
TL;DR: The algorithm proposed here is named TARARC—a Task Allocation algorithm based on Robot Ability and Relevance with group Collaboration, where robot ability is weighed by reliability, relevance represents a fresh concept of "history relevance" between every two robots to establish reasonable groups for better collaboration.

Collaborative multi-agent reinforcement learning based on a novel coordination tree frame with dynamic partition
TL;DR: A dynamic team partitioning method is proposed based on a novel coordinate tree frame and two breaching weights are defined to represent the weights of an agent to corporate with the agent subset.

BTO supply chain configuration via agent-based negotiation
TL;DR: The analysis of the negotiation time for the modified protocol showed that it linearly depends on the product complexity (number of product components) and quadratically on the being configured supply chain complexity ( number of suppliers).
