Multi-Agent Asynchronous Negotiation Based on Time-Delay

In the Electronic Commerce applications based on MAS (Multi-Agent Systems) etc., because every agent may have different negotiation strategy, reasoning mode, and that for diverse negotiation offers, the time spending in strategy computing, resource allocation and information transmission of the agent are different, so that one to many negotiation generally is asynchronous or with time-delay. This paper puts forward a mechanism with time-delay for one to many negotiation and give a negotiation control mode of multi-agents; considering the aspects of this negotiation including time dependent, opponent influence and other negotiation threads, this paper analyzes the negotiation flow for one to many negotiation with time-delay, designs sub-negotiation strategies for multi-agents; and then discusses when to offer in one to many negotiation with time-delay; brings forward a method for determining the number of negotiation opponents. The research of one to many negotiation with time-delay will improve its applicability and make agent-based automatic negotiation satisfy the needs of practical application. Experimental results validate the correctness and validity of our methods.
