Abstract

Multi-agent system (MAS) is an important research field of distributed artificial intelligence. MAS negotiation is one of the key contents in MAS research. Combining with traditional contract net protocol, acquaintance model, acquaintance coalition inner task allocation distributed optimization algorithm, bulletin board model of agent information exchange with different knowledge and agent mental state parameters, this paper presents a new multi-agent system negotiation model based on expanded contract net protocol and introduces the design and implementation of it in detail.
