This book
covers recent advances in Complex Automated Negotiations as a widely studied
emerging area in the field of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The book includes selected
revised and extended papers from the 7th International Workshop on Agent-Based Complex
Automated Negotiation (ACAN2014), which was held in Paris, France, in May
2014. The book also includes brief introductions about
Agent-based Complex Automated Negotiation which are based on tutorials provided
in the workshop, and brief summaries and descriptions about the ANAC'14 (Automated
Negotiating Agents Competition) competition, where authors of selected
finalist agents explain the strategies and the ideas used by them. The
book is targeted to academic and industrial researchers in various communities
of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, such as agreement technology,
mechanism design, electronic commerce, related areas, as well as graduate,
undergraduate, and PhD students working in those areas or having interest in
them.
