Sommario/riassunto

If the 2012 nomination process taught the Republican Party anything, it is that there are internal fractures within the GOP that need to be worked out prior to the 2016 presidential election. When coupled with changing national demographics that are less than favorable,



Republican candidates must determine a way to bring together the pro-business, Tea Party, and evangelical wings of their party together if they hope for victory.

Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses on automated negotiations based on multi-agent systems. It is intended for researchers and students in various fields



involving autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, such as e-commerce tools, decision-making and negotiation support systems, and collaboration tools. The contents will help them to understand the concept of automated negotiations, negotiation protocols, negotiating agents’ strategies, and the applications of those strategies. In this book, some negotiation protocols focusing on the multiple interdependent issues in negotiations are presented, making it possible to find high-quality solutions for the complex agents’ utility functions. This book is a compilation of the extended versions of the very best papers selected from the many that were presented at the International Workshop on Agent-Based Complex Automated Negotiations.
