This book is the post proceedings of the First International Workshop on
Rational, Robust, and Secure Negotiations in Multi-Agent Systems.
Negotiation mechanisms have been studied widely in the field of multi-agent
systems. Such mechanisms have a variety of features to allow agents to
negotiate with each other even in open environments.
Emerging applications require that the negotiation mechanism function
correctly despite all the complexity and uncertainty of the real world.
Moreover, for practical use of multi-agent systems in the real world, the
reliability of each agent's behavior is essentially. Concretely, agents must
obtain the most appropriate solution based on rational, robust, and secure
negotiation among multiple agents even if the environment is inaccessible.
RRS 2005 brings together researchers to learn about each other's
approaches and cross-fertilize the different areas to accelerate progress
towards scaling up to larger and more realistic applications.
