TLDR
This research extends the previous system that used a combination of a Matchmaker architecture together with the Contract Net protocol to enable the dynamic, task-based creation of a Sensor Web to allow sensors to rationally decommit from future tasks and to join a newly formed Sensor Web.Abstract:
We describe how negotiation between agents is used to create coalitions of sensors that are joined into a Sensor Web. The work presented in this paper uses argumentation-based negotiation to allow sensors to rationally decommit from future tasks and to join a newly formed Sensor Web; or, alternately, to reject joining a Sensor Web if they believe their previous commitment to be more important. This research extends our previous system that used a combination of a Matchmaker architecture together with the Contract Net protocol to enable the dynamic, task-based creation of a Sensor Web. We tested our negotiation-based Sensor Web system using a simulation of a cyclonic event and a variety of sensors.read more

Negotiated Rational Commitment and Decommitment in Sensor Webs
TL;DR: A modified Jadex Contract Net Protocol is used to create coalitions of sensors that are joined into a Sensor Web allowing the sensors to rationally commit to tasks and decommit from previously scheduled tasks to join an alternate Sensor Web.

The Contract Net Protocol: High-Level Communication and Control in a Distributed Problem Solver
TL;DR: In this article, the contract net protocol has been developed to specify problem-solving communication and control for nodes in a distributed problem solver, where task distribution is affected by a negotiation process, a discussion carried on between nodes with tasks to be executed and nodes that may be able to execute those tasks.

Kasbah: An Agent Marketplace for Buying and Selling Goods
Anthony Chavez,Pattie Maes +1 more
TL;DR: How Kasbah works is described, a system where users create autonomous agents to buy and sell goods on their behalf and the implementation of a simple proof-of-concept prototype is discussed.

Agents that Reason and Negotiate by Arguing
TL;DR: A framework, based upon a system of argumentation, which permits agents to negotiate in order to establish acceptable ways of solving problems and describes a case study of this relationship for a particular class of architectures (namely those for belief-desire-intention agents).

Frameworks for Cooperation in Distributed Problem Solving
Reid G. Smith,Randall Davis +1 more
TL;DR: Two forms of cooperation in distributed problem solving are considered: task-sharing and result-sharing, and the basic methodology is presented and systems in which it has been used are described.
