E-COMMERCE ORIENTED AUTOMATED NEGOTIATION BASED ON FIPA INTERACTION PROTOCOL SPECIFICATION

摘要

Automated Negotiation system with self-interested agent is becoming increasingly important in E-Commerce.If agents are to negotiate automatically with one another, they must share a formal protocol, specifying possible actions.In this paper, we firstly give a survey of some negotiation models, and then briefly describe The Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) Interaction Protocol Specification.Then a bargain protocol for E-Commerce oriented Automated Negotiation is presented, that can be seen as an extension of FIPA Interaction Specifications.This protocol, with formal and intuitive semantics, can be used in automated negotiation among agents coming from different organizations if they follow the specification.
