Interest-Based Negotiation: Theory And Practice

Abstract

The results of the project will provide theoretically sound technologies that can better support distributed resource and task allocation in complex problem solving settings. The combination of theoretical and practical outcomes from the research will enable these technologies to be applied in decision-making settings beyond those studied directly in the project. The project contributes to Australia's ability to compete in the emerging international market for knowledge-based software applications. The project's key connections and integration with European research will also strengthen research collaboration and training opportunities for Australian based students.
