Abstract
Task execution in multi-agents systems might require cooperation among agents. An agent coalition is a special kind of cooperation, whose purpose is to improve the collective performance. Creating coalitions usually requires complicated negotiations among participating agents. In order to resolve this mentioned problem, we try to suggest a negotiation protocol, which is based on FIPA standards. In addition, some default strategies are proposed with the purpose to help agents in decision making, while choose coalitions. These strategies could also be combined one with others to adapt to various situations
