Research on the Application of Co-Evolutionary Algorithms in Automated Negotiation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Automated negotiation based on co-evolutionary algorithms is an emerging research field in recent years. This paper introduced the basic ideas of evolutionary and co-evolutionary algorithms, and discussed the main theories and approaches in the research of automated negotiation based on co-evolutionary algorithms. The five key elements in simulation of negotiation experiments are also presented in detail. Finally, the future work and research directions are pointed out.
