Abstract:

In this thesis, we propose a panoply of tools and techniques to manage inter-agent dependencies in open, distributed multi-agent systems that have significant degrees of uncertainty. In particular, we focus on situations in which agents are involved in repeated interactions where they need to negotiate to resolve conflicts that may arise between them. To this end, we endow agents with decision making models that exploit the notion of trust and use persuasive techniques during the negotiation process to reduce the level of uncertainty and achieve better deals in the long run.
