One-to-Many Monotonic Concession Negotiation Protocol

In this paper we propose a generalization of the classic monotonic concession protocol for agent negotiation, originally proposed for two agents, to one-to-many negotiation. This assumes generalization of agreement formation and concession operations from two-agents case to one-to-many case. Our approach is inspired by a recent generalization of the two-agent case to multiple agents. We perform a theoretical analysis of some properties of the proposed one-to-many monotonic concession negotiation protocol and we also discuss possible negotiation strategies inspired by Zeuthen's strategy for the two-agents case.
