Abstract:
Trust measures the relationship between commitment
and perceived execution of contracts in simple Offer, Accept,
Reject negotiation, and is the foundation for the confidence that
an agent has in signing a contract. Negotiation is an information
exchange process as well as a proposal exchange process. A
rich decision model for intelligent agents involved in multi issue
negotiations is described. The model, grounded on information
theory, takes into account the aspects of trust and preference to
devise mechanisms to manage dialogues.
