Description
Summary:This paper proposes the use of software agents to represent decision makers and simulate their actions. Agents operate in a prior devised multi-agent system that has the goal of automating the logistics brokering of freight transport. The focus of this paper is to present an initial design and implementation of the negotiation processes. To this end, the Iterated Contract Net negotiation protocol has been adapted for our particular purpose. The experiments we have conducted illustrate how agents with different personalities would behave in this scenario.
