“…7) and the participant P1 is satisfied by this proposal. In this case, P1 can stop the negotiation in the nodes 6 and 8 -quit (6), and quit (8) -and accept the proposal of the node 5 -ready (5). Concluding all these aspects, we can say that the CONNECT verb allows to dynamically involve a new participant in a negotiation.…”

“…In the proposed approach, each Coordination Service models a specific negotiation step or strategy (i.e., selection of negotiation participants; outsourcing or insourcing of a job etc.). In this respect, various Coordination Negotiation Services have been proposed [6]: Outsrc (resp. Insrc), for outsourcing (resp.…”

“…Considering that node 0 is the root of the graph, the participant P1 uses the verb assert (0, Job, size = 20K) to introduce in the root of the negotiation graph the attribute size with value = 20k. Further, assuming that the participant P2 wants to make two separate proposals by opening, in the first stage, a black nodeopen (4,2) -and then, starting from this black node, he makes the proposals opening white nodes -open (5,4) and open (6,4) in which he specifies the proposals -assert (5,Job,cost,=40k) assert (5,Job,quality,=high) and assert(6,Job,cost,=30k) assert (6,Job,quality,=low).…”

Maintaining the interoperability in a dynamic competitive manufacturing environment in which different business enterprises collaborate is difficult to achieve. Our approach highlights negotiation as the best solution to solve interoperability problems by reaching the common decision suitable for all managers of various enterprises in the most optimized amount of time. In this context, this paper proposes a multi-agent negotiation model, able to coordinate several negotiations taking place in parallel among multiple participants. It is described the negotiation strategy for evaluating and generating offers and the protocol for sending the offers to the other agents. This model is being implemented in the H2020 C2NET project for supporting manufacturing.

“…The framework's top layer (Negotiation Manager) is targeted to the Manager of each negotiation party. It handles all business decisions [34] that need to be taken (e.g. proposal, acceptance of proposal, rejection of proposal, invite of another party to take part in the negotiation) and analyses and manages the negotiated parameters, communicating with the lower layers using web-services [35].…”

To sustain is to endure' -that is, to be able to survive and continue to function in the face of significant changes. The commonly accepted concept of 'sustainability' currently encompasses three main pillars: environmental, social/ethical and economic. In a metaphor of survival, they can be seen as water, food and air; one needs all three, only with varying degrees of urgency. In today's globally networked environment, it is becoming obvious that one cannot achieve environmental, social or economic sustainability of any artefact (be it physical or virtual, e.g. enterprise, project, information system, policy, etc) without achieving ubiquitous ability of the artefact and its creators and users to exchange and understand shared information and if necessary perform processes on behalf of each other -capabilities that are usually defined as 'interoperability'. Thus, sustainability relies on interoperability, while, conversely, interoperability as an ongoing concern relies for its existence on all three main pillars of sustainability. This paper aims to test the hypothesis that interoperability and sustainability are two inseparable and inherently linked aspects of any universe of discourse. To achieve this, it applies the dualistic sustainability / interoperability viewpoint to a variety of areas (manufacturing, healthcare, information and communication technology and standardisation), analyses the results and synthesizes conclusions and guidelines for future work.

“…However the operationalization of these two dimensions requires further developments in order to sustain day-to-day activities in intra-organisational processes and inter-enterprise processes (Cretan 2012). For some years, Service-Oriented Architectures and Environments for systems interoperability have been deployed, and much research is still going on (Ducq 2012a).…”
