Rational, Robust, and Secure Negotiations in Multi-Agent Systems

In a completely comprehensive and yet accessible text, a variety of hugely accomplished contributors address all aspects of negotiation mechanisms in multi-agent systems. These include multi-issue negotiations, concurrent negotiations, and strategy-proof mechanisms, as well as rational argumentation and topics, auctions and voting. The workshop from which this volume has arisen brought together researchers from these communities to learn about each others' approaches.
