Abstract
Agent-based Ontology Alignment Negotiation processes aims to generate an alignment through the interaction of two or more agents. When these agents exploit different matching services they can reach incompatible alignments, giving rise to conflicts hence the need to engage in a negotiation to achieve consensus. This consensus is sounder as more conflicts are correctly solved. In this paper, a Relaxation-based approach for Agent-based Ontology Matching Negotiation is explored and compared with the MbA/FDO argument-based approach. The limitations of the original Relaxation approach are addressed and modifications are proposed that increase the circumstances under which conflict resolution may occur, thus generating sounder alignments.

A formal analysis of interest-based negotiation
In multi-agent systems (MAS), negotiation provides a powerful metaphor for automating the allocation and reallocation of resources. Methods for automated negotiation in MAS include auction-based protocols and alternating offer bargaining protocols. ...
Characterizing the Outcomes of Argumentation-Based Integrative Negotiation
WI-IAT '08: Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology - Volume 02In the negotiation literature we find two relatively distinct types of negotiation. The two types are known as integrative negotiations and distributive negotiations. Integrative negotiations are those where all sides are looking for solutions that are "...
Adaptive agent negotiation via argumentation
AAMAS '06: Proceedings of the fifth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systemsIn this paper, we study how argumentation can be used as a basis for negotiation between autonomous agents, where negotiation strategies of the different parties are represented as argumentation theories within their knowledge. We propose an ...
