Abstract

In distributed approaches to multiagent resource allocation,
the agents belonging to a society negotiate deals in small groups at a local
level, driven only by their own rational interests.We can then observe and
study the effects such negotiation has at the societal level, for instance in
terms of the economic efficiency of the emerging allocations. Such effects
may be studied either using theoretical tools or by means of simulation.
In this paper, we present a new simulation platform that can be used
to compare the effects of different negotiation policies and we report
on initial experiments aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of the
dynamics of distributed multiagent resource allocation.
