Evaluation of Schedule Managing Agent among Multiple Members with Representation of Background Negotiations
Pages 305 - 312
Abstract
This paper proposes an interactive manager agent system that adjusts schedule among multiple persons through negotiations on behalf of a human organizer, such as a steward or team manager. In order to increase the users' cooperative decision-making, we implemented the manager agent that negotiates with each member on the schedule using 1) the suitable attitude depending on current situation and partner of negotiation and 2) the graphical representation of background negotiations between the agent and the other users: a) the other users' icons, b) the blinking balloons of both the other users and the agent, and c) the agent's looking-back actions for the other users' icons. The results of the evaluations showed that both the individual use and the combination of the proposed expressions could make the participants feel i) as though there were under-going negotiations between the agent and the other users and ii) as though the agent had both the effort and compassion to the user. Moreover, the user's cooperative decision-making was increased by the proposed method.

Recommendations
Managing concurrent negotiations in multi-agent systems
Canadian AI'12: Proceedings of the 25th Canadian conference on Advances in Artificial IntelligenceThe one-to-many agent system is a typical multi-agent system that involves interaction between agents through negotiation. The one-to-many negotiation form is a complicated problem especially when the negotiation is about distinct negotiation objects ...
Multiple Negotiations among Agents for a Distributed Meeting Scheduler
ICMAS '00: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on MultiAgent Systems (ICMAS-2000)We present a method for multi-agent negotiation for implementing a distributed meeting scheduler. In the scheduling system, an agent is assigned to a user who plans private schedules and events. An agent negotiates with other agents about making a ...
Managing commitments in multiple concurrent negotiations
Automated negotiation by software agents is a key enabling technology for agent mediated e-commerce. To this end, this paper considers an important class of such negotiations - namely those in which an agent engages in multiple concurrent bilateral ...
