ABSTRACT
In the presentation we consider combining ontologically
demarcated information with Saaty's Analytic Hierarchy Process
(AHP) for the multicriterial assessment of offers during contract
negotiations. The context for the proposal, is provided by the
Agents in Grid (AiG) project, which aims at development of an
agent-based infrastructure for resource management in the Grid.
In the AiG project, software agents representing users can either
(1) join a team and earn money, or (2) find a team to execute a
job. Furthermore, agents form teams, managers of which
negotiate with clients and workers terms of collaboration. Here,
ontologically described contracts (Service Level Agreements) are
the results of autonomous multiround negotiations. Therefore,
taking into account relatively complex nature of the negotiated
contracts, multicriterial assessment of proposals plays a crucial
role. The AHP method measures how well does an offer serve the
objective of a decision maker. Here, we propose how the AHP
method can be used to assess ontologically described contract
proposals in the AiG use case.
