A Negotiation Mechanism for Resolving Conflicts in Resource-bounded Agents Environments

한정된 자원을 가진 에이전트 환경에서의 충돌해결을 위한 협상기법

In most Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), agents are required to achieve their own goals. An agent's goals, however, can conflict with others either when agents compete with earth other to achieve a common goal or when they have to use a set of limited resources to accomplish agents'divergent goals. In this paper, we consider that a BDI architecture, as a shorthand fur belief, desire, and intention in any agent-based systems, is a core component of agents' mental attitudes and represent resource-bounded BDI agents in logic programming framework. We propose an algorithm in which BDI agents with different goals solve their problems through negotiation resolving goal conflicts.
