A Petri-net-like model for multiplayer distributed negotiations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Many modern distributed systems consist of components whose behavior is only partially known. Typical examples include multi-agent systems, business processes, or protocols for conducting elections and auctions. An interaction between these components can be abstractly described as a negotiation in which several parties (the components involved in the negotiation) nondeterministically agree on an outcome, which results in a transformation of the internal states of the parties. In this talk we introduce negotiations, a formal model of concurrency close to Petri nets, with multiparty negotiation as primitive.
