“…Berry et al have introduced a personalised agent for time management and meeting scheduling called PTIME [1]. The PTIME agent is a single-calendar scheduler dependent on other agents to coordinate shared calendar entities.…”

In this paper, we present a distributed multi-agent meeting scheduling system for mobile devices. This mobile agent system supports people on the move to locate feasible time slots to meet with each other, using their mobile devices. It negotiates the best suitable times integrating timetables and time preferences from the participants. Unlike to current approaches, the negotiation of the meeting time is fully executed on mobile devices. As mobile devices are limited in resources, the introduced protocol additionally allows, to outsource the main part of the negotiation to a self-contained scheduling service.

“…Mitchell et al's CAP [7] is a calendar learning agent that infers meeting time, duration and other parameters from examples, Gervasio et al [3] advance this with active learning. Berry et al [1] address the problem of negotiation among calendar agents representing different users. None of these model or try to learn the users goal.…”

Personal event management involves planning when, where and how events should occur, making sure the event's prerequisites are satisfied, and developing contingencies for when things go wrong. Conventional calendar and project management tools, however, only record and visualize explicit human decisions regarding event specifics.We present Event Minder, a calendar program that takes into account the goals for which the events are scheduled. Users can input descriptions of events in natural language, mixing high-level objectives, concrete time and place decisions, and omit "obvious" common sense details. A commonsense knowledge base provides sensible defaults, and machine learning refines these defaults with experience. We can make recommendations for alternative plans, including alternatives that satisfy higher-level goals in different ways as well as those that meet immediate constraints. Our current system covers dining-related events, integrating commonsense with domain knowledge about specific restaurants, bars and hotels.

With an increasing number of applications in the context of multi-agent systems, automated negotiation is a rapidly growing area. Written by top researchers in the field, this state-of-the-art treatment of the subject explores key issues involved in the design of negotiating agents, covering strategic, heuristic, and axiomatic approaches. The authors discuss the potential benefits of automated negotiation as well as the unique challenges it poses for computer scientists and for researchers in artificial intelligence. They also consider possible applications and give readers a feel for the types of domain where automated negotiation is already being deployed. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in computer science who are interested in multi-agent systems. It will also appeal to negotiation researchers from disciplines such as management and business studies, psychology, and economics.
