Descrição
Research on negotiation and task allocation has been in the multi-agent systems realm since its inception as a research field. More recently, social aspects of agenthood have received increasing attention, namely developing on the fields of normative and trust systems.
The integration of these different research contributions will allow to build robust applications for electronic agreement negotiation, aiming at their acceptability and application in industry.
The ANTE framework is the corollary of an on-going long-term research project that encompasses three main agreement technologies: negotiation, normative environments and computational trust. Although ANTE has been targeting the domain B2B electronic contracting, it was conceived as a more general framework having in mind a wider range of applications.
This paper describes a demonstration showing the application of the ANTE framework to an agent-based automatic electronic contracting domain.
