A fast negotiation algorithm for multiple methods agents

摘要

A multiagents negotiation under time constraints is presented. The multiagents system (MAS) is dealt with the task and it is based on two reasoning techniques, which are progressive reasoning and multiple methods. The motivation of progressive reasoning is to adapt the quality of the solution to the available time. Multiple methods is an approach that assumes with a set of methods that trade-off computational resources against the quality of result. The minimal solution is obtained which is incrementally by interchanging all or part of approximate methods. The target system is flexible and can adapt itself to the load of each agent for responding to tasks in time. Responses will be of quality less or better depending on the methods that have been used by each selected agent.
