MOPaC: The Multiple Offers Protocol for Multilateral Negotiations with Partial Consensus

Multiagent Systems 2022-05-16 v1 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Existing protocols for multilateral negotiation require a full consensus among the negotiating parties. In contrast, we propose a protocol for multilateral negotiation that allows partial consensus, wherein only a subset of the negotiating parties can reach an agreement. We motivate problems that require such a protocol and describe the protocol formally.
