在电子商务环境下,自动谈判中的Agents之间必须具有共同的概念和规则来明确谈判的内容和方式.通过分析自动谈判的最新研究进展,对自动谈判中存在的协议和本体论等主要难点进行了讨论.提出了一个自动谈判模型,该模型应用OWL来表达的谈判角色和谈判商品等本体,具有基于信息集的报价策略和Agents的交互规则、应用本模型,来自不同组织的Agent可以基于共同的由OWL定义的本体论和规范的协议,自动地进行谈判.这使得自动谈判可以在开放的因特网的环境下,而不仅是在封闭的系统中实现.
In the environment of e-commerce, agents in automated negotiation should share common concept of what they are bargaining and a rule of how to bargain. State of the art overviews of automated negotiation is given. The main barriers to automated negotiation such as protocol and ontology are discussed. Then, a model of automated negotiation is presented with the ontologies of roles and goods described by web ontology language (OWL), the proposal strategies based on the information sets, and a set of rules for agent interaction. In this model, agents coming from different organizations can negotiate automatically based on common ontologies defined by OWL and formal protocol. This makes it possible for the automated negotiation to be performed in an open environment such as Internet, not merely in a closed system.
